The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX Interesting Lectures By Chas. Stewart Interesting Lectures By Chas. Stewart LARGE CROWDS OF MEN AND WOMEN HEARD HIM SUNDAY Talk by the Noted Newspaper Man Were Received With Much Applause Chas., Stewart of Chicago, Ill., the only Negro who is connected with the Associated Press, delivered two excellent addresses here last Sunday. At 4:30 o'clock he spoke to a gathering of men at the First African Bapt. Church, Franklin square, and at 6 o'clock he he addressed a large crowd of women at St. Philip A. M. E. Church. Mr. Stewart, who is one of the most widely known and best informed Negroes in the country, was very convincing in his addresses and his audiences were very much benefited by what they heard. The subjects discussed by Mr. Stewart before the men were of vital interest to them, and he was accorded words of congratulations by his audience. He spoke in very plain language and his words struck home in that telling manner which he alone knows how to deliver. The audience was a most representative one and one of the largest ever assembled on a similar occasion. The talk to the women proved equally as interesting as that to the men and the speaker took advantage of the opportunity of advising those present of the many pitfalls that carry, so many young girls to the bottom. He told those who were mothers or guardians to inform their children of the many forms of vice which confront young people and to teach them how to best avoid them. Mr. Stewart came to Savannah to be present at the Knights' convention which met here this week. He addressed the grand lodge and was one of the prominent visitors here during the week. CONTRIBUTIONS TO The following amounts were donated to the sunshine and willing Workers' committee of the Urban League for the old folks picnic which was given at Cattle Park last week. The members of the committee, Mrs. Josephine Singleton, Mrs. Lucy Newton, Mrs. Sarah Robinson, Mrs. Ellen Spencer, Mrs. Henrietta Deas, Mrs. Ruth Robinson and Mrs. Rachael Moore, wish to return thanks to all who contributed in any way to the success of the picnic.

J. E. Collier, the photographer was unpure and conducted the friendly and interesting contest in good style. All the boys had a great time and there were refreshments on hand to add to the general jollity. The order among the boys was all that could be desired and they were particularly obliging and courteous to the visitors. Since the advent among them of Mrs. Rachel Moore, matron, there has been much of the atmosphere of real, whilesome home life and parental influence in vogue there. Such a condition is, of course, just what is necessary to give such boys a fair chance and start in life. The discipline in excellent as evident by the prompt and willing obedience to directions. Then there is an atmosphere of repression, much in contrast to what one might expect. One striking feature of the day was the meat and comely appearance of the boys. Every one was in simple but clean and orderly attire and showed to good advantage. One could not help but see the wisdom of the County Commissioners through Mr. Reublin Butler, clerk, pursuing such a plan for corrective training. As time goes on, one does not doubt that Chatham County will take rank as being one of the foremost in reform work. At the super hour the boys, under their leader, known among them as Big Brother, staged a drill and executed some interesting maneuvers, to the delight of all. Rev. W. L. Cash spent the day with the boys, preaching in the afternoon. SECRETARY THOS. JOHNSON AT THE Y. M. C. A. In keeping with its policy to give the men of Savannah the benefit of the best talent available the Y. M. C. A. will present on tomorrow to its members and friends, Secretary Thos. Johnson of the white local association, who will deliver a special address at 5 p. m. at St. Paul C. M. E. Church. It is indeed gratifying to note the increasing interest which the men of Savannah are taking to this growing movement. That there is need of such movement as a Y. M. C. A., there can be no doubt. And it is believed that such an association is about to be had in our city. The programmes now being offered each Sunday by the promoters of the association, are first class in every respect. It is hoped that a large number of men will be out tomorrow to hear Secretary Johnson. A rare treat is in store for each one. FOUND ON STREET CAR A pocketbook was found on the street car Thursday afternoon and the owner can receive same by calling at the company's office. It is probable that some one returning from the ball game left it on the car. SAVANNAH HOME ASSO CIATION EXCURSION On Monday afternoon the largest excursion that has left this season is expected to go down to Daufuskie. It will be the outing, of the Savannah Home Association and two boats will be used to take the pleasure seekers down to the island. All those who intend going are advised to come down early as the committee intends leaving on time in order to give the excursionists plenty of time to enjoy the salt air. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS HOLD A MOST SUCCESSFUL SESSION HEADS' OF BOTH THE LODGES AND COURTS WERE RE ELECTED WITHOUT OPPOSITION Measure to Abolish Pythian Temple Commission Goes Through After Much Discussion—Damon Company Wins Prize Drill—Reports Show Lodges to Have a Balance in Treasury of $40,529.84, Courts $38,379.32—Many Forms of Amusements Given For the 3,000 or More Visitors—Several Concerts Given by Augusta Band. The Knights of Pythias grand lodge which adjourned here Thursday night was perhaps the largest and most spectacular which has been held in this city in the last ten years and was by far the most orderly. From early Monday morning until the opening of the grand lodge proper, 10 o'clock Tuesday morning at the Pekin Theatre, the courts holding their first session at the same time in St. Philip A. M. E. Church, a few doors down, droves of delegates to the convention came in on all of the regular trains entering here from the various points in the state. From the big towns came special trains bearing the delegates and their friends and by Tuesday night the city was alive with the visiting Knights and their friends. All day Monday the local uniform rank companies, escorted by the local K. of P. band, was kept on the go meeting the incoming companies and the route between the two depots and the camping grounds was impregnated with the martial spirit which reminded one of the gay-times in the city prior to the disbandment of the Negro millitia. From the arrival in the city Sunday morning of Brigadier General Wynn nutil the last company broke camp Friday noon the 30 companies at 37 and Ogeechee road, were the objective point of thousands of people and the little tent city proved unusually interesting to the throngs who went out to see "the boys" in camp. Venders by the scores occupied every spot of vantage and made a veritable "killing" during the four days. The companies were all very comfortably situated and the visitors who went out were shown every courtesy from 7 o'clock in the morning to 7 at night. The parade of the uniform rank and grand lodge and grand court on Tuesday afternoon was beyond doubt the largest and most spectacular that has taken place in this city in the past fifteen years. West Broad street, the principal thorofare on which the crowd congregated to view the parade was one continuous mass of spectators from Liberty street out to 37th. Every place of vantage was occupied and as the great parade passed between the thousands of people banked on either side of the street cheer after cheer went up from the proud and well dressed Sir. Knights who escorted the Calanthian drill corps and grand lodge officers. Promptly at 4:30 o'clock the parade, headed by Brig. Genl. Wynn and his staff, left the camp grounds. Next in line came Col. C. A. Andrews with the following companies of the First Regiment; the local K. of P. band, Joshua Co. B, Feay Co. A, Royal Co., C. Pluto Co., Beaufort, C. C.; Chatham Co. F, and Ross cadets. Following these came the second regiment headed by Col. Lewis Mosley, and his staff and composed of the following companies: Augusta K. of P. Band, Co. D. M.ledgeville; Co. I. Americus; Co. K. Valdosta; Co. C. Brunswick. Atlanta K. of P. band, Co. E. Atlanta; Co. M. Jackson; Co. K. Athens and Shaw cadets, Athens. Bringing up the rear was the Third Regiment headed by Col. A. L. Stewart and staff, Macon drum corps, Co. E, Macon; Co. G. Macon; Co. L. Thomasville, Creswell cadets, Macon, and three companies formed of parts of other companies. The ladies' drill corps of the Courts of Calanthe, conveyed in auto trucks, followed with five companies, C. A. Catliede, Macon; R. C. Cody, Macon, Curry, Thomasville; Pride of Columbus and Feay Co., M. Following these were about fifty carriages with representatives. The parade as it passed thru the city elicited much favorable comment, the general opinion being that it was the finest fraternal demonstration ever seen here. On Wednesday afternoon at the baseball park the competitive company prize drills took place. There were twelve male companies and four female companies slated for the contest but rain interrupted the set programme and but eight of the male companies succeeded in going thru the maneuvers before the bad weather intervened. The spectacle at the park was indeed thrilling with the sixteen companies banked up beside the south west fence of the park, the immaculate summer uniforms of the Augusta and Valdosta companies standing out conspicuously from the great bank of dark attire of all the other companies. The four bands were seated in the grand stand and played consecutively until the drill was ended by the rain. The crowd was the largest ever at the park with the exception of that at the school children's races last May, there being approximately 3,500 present. The down pour of rain, the very much unwelcomed, did not in the least kill the ardor of the crowd, for all during the rain there was music galore and the great throng in the grand stand made merry while the rain fell in torrents. Because of the cessation of the contest, it was concluded next morning at the camp grounds before about 2,000 persons. The companies all executed their commands well and the affair proved very interesting. The judges of the contest were Major Norlef, Augusta; Maj. Lockhart, Macon; Col. Goodwin, Macon; Capt. Ray, Athens. Col. Ferrell of Atlanta was time keeper. The winners in the prize-drill-were, First Class—1st Damon Co., Augusta; 2nd, Feay Co., Savannah; 3rd Ansley Co., Macon. Second Class—1st J. A.

The production of the play was from all view points the finest and most pretentious affair ever undertaken by amateurs in Savannah. The acting thru the play bore every earmark of professionalism a quality which is so enjoyable when seen in amateurs, who are so often stiff and unnatural. The plot, simple in itself, was, in substance, the story of a play entitled "King Titus Tatius" written by Prof. Goldwhinney, who, in turn, consents for Spartan Spotts, a one time actor and theatrical manager, to produce the play. The play falls; Spotts is driven off the stage. In the mean time countless amusing situations take place in the professor's office, where the whole scene is enacted. Prof. Goldwhinney, as essayed by Mr. Joseph Green, was an admirable and creditible piece of work. At all times the nagged and worried professor could be seen not only by the excellent delineation done by Mr. Green, but also by his mannerism and his naturalness. Miss Nettle Houston, as the professor's wife was natural and refreshing. As the tantalizing and self-willed wife she enthralled her hearers both by her fine delivery and by the beautiful modulations of her voice, the effect of which was very marked on the professor. The pretty scene between Miss Mae Stewart, as Mrs. Mariana Newman and Mr. Matthew Jones, as Dr. Leopold Newman, were clever and amusing. As an innocent and anxious wife who wants to delve into the past of her husband's life, whether it is discreditable or not, Miss Stewart's intonations in the many delicate scenes were most pleasing. Mr. Jones superbly acquitted himself self-through the play by his quick, tense, and support acting, particularly in the climax scenes by his fine off-hand work. Miss Irma Curley, as Paula Goldwhinney, was charmingly natural as the professor's daughter. In her fake fainting scene, which for a professional would require much talent to effect well, was most creditably done by Miss Curley Mr. Valdore Giles, as Jack Hawkins, a young and frivolous actor, acted up to Miss Curley with whom he was in many scenes. In the card scene Mr. Giles' work was his best. Very amusing and natural was his work in the scene when he burst forth into sublime ectasy, when he was told by Rosa that Paula loved him. Rosa, the maid servant, as acted by Miss Marie Moore, was a very enjoyable portrayal of an innocent, soft, and childish girl, who is ever curious. In all the scenes in which she figured, particularly the one in which she was caught reading a card entrusted her to mail by the professor, she was girlish and pleasing. Mr. Frank Dilworth, with his rich and resonant voice, as Mr. Charles Hawkins, the lawyer, pleased his hearers from start to finish. Very humorous indeed was he in the scene in which he assisted the Goldwhinneys in packing. Lastly, Mr. Wendell Tucker, who, as Spartan Spurgius Spotts, the theatrical manager, is deserving of unstinted praise for the superior quality of his acting and for his producing such a high class entertainment. Thruout the play Mr. Tucker was easily master of his part and acted with the skill of a professional at all times. The barn storming scene, like the climax scene, bore every evidence of dramatic excellence and showed clearly the training and experience which CROWD AT X. M. C. A. PLAY NUMBER 43 Home Boys Fall Before Eureka Team AT THE BALL PARK THURSDAY AFTERNOON Exciting Game Played—Score 5 to 4 Two Umpires Used The most exciting baseball game witnessed here in many years, played by local teams, was pulled off at the Athletic park Thursday afternoon before a small but enthusiastic crowd. The Home Boys went down in defeat before the Eureka's fast aggregation. It was a good game and both teams played well, the score being 5 to 4. In the opening inning it seemed as if the Home Boys were going to capture the coveted prize, they having scored two runs in the first inning, but they didn't, and at the winding up of the game the boys left with bowed heads and saddened hearts. The Eurekas tied the score in the third inning, making one in the first and one in the third; and in the fifth inning the Home Boys broke the tie by putting two over the plate. It did not remain that way long, however, for in the sixth inning, by a wild throw by Mungin in right field to first base and repeated by Patterson in the box to first base, the Eurekas were able to bring in two runs and tied the score again. In the eighth inning the Home Boys had a golden opportunity to win the game but failed to turn the trick. Crosby, first man up, got first base on a pop fly which the short stop and left fielder did stunts over, stole second and third and attempted to come home on a knock to short by Riley but was called out by his honor the "ump". This was a bad decision. In the opinion of every impartial spectator he was safe at the plate, and then, too, the umpire first called him safe and afterwards changed his decision. In the same inning the Eurekas scored one and the Home Boys failed to connect in the ninth and thus ended the game. The batteries were Tatterson and Kibbohs for the Home Boys, and Thomas and Sims and Heyward and Ginn for the Eurekas. Patterson out-pitched both of the Eurekas pitchers, striking out five, while Thomas and Heyward have one a piece to their credit. Hits, Home Boys three; 2 base hits one, errors four. Eurekas four hits, one 2 base hit and two errors. Two umpires were used Fiddler at the plate and Monroe on the bases. After the game the Eureka team was taken to the Savannah Home Association's reading room and entertained by the losing team. THE TRIBUNE SERENADED The Macon Drum Corps, under Leader A. J. Davis' and Drum Major M. Dubose honored the Tribune with a few selections on Thursday. This was highly appreciated. BEN DAVIS WINS OUT BEN DAVIS WINS OUT IN S. C. M. MEETING The Sub-Committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America met in Philadelphia this week. Many things of interest pertaining to the Order's affairs in this state was expected to come up along with other chargesthat, as understood, had been perferred against District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis. Those who attended the meeting arrayed on one side were, Dr. B. W. S. Daniels of this city, L. L. Edwards of Waycross, Dr. R. C. Williams of Augusta, R. E. Pharrow and A. Graves of Atlanta; on the other side were B. J. Davis and Col. H. L. Johnson of Atlanta. The final outcome of the matter was not definitely known, but it seems as the Davis has the best of the fight, judging from the telegram which was received in the city Thursday morning, announcing that "Ben Davis won out with hands down". Mr. Tucker received in the well known Howard College Dramatico Club, in which he distinguished himself many times for his excellent work. The president and officers of the Y. M. C. A. wish to extend their appreciation to the lady enthusiasts who, by their splendid work in the selling of tickets, helped to make it possible for so many of our appreciative people to witness the performance. The audience, something over four hundred, was one of the most representative that has attended a performance at the Pekin. The younger, set especially turned out in large numbers and the young-women were very tastful. What Milady Wears Upon her Head and Around her Neck Defies Time and Place, to Suit her Fancy New York July 14 1915—Transparent hats and furs, velvet head-gears and low necks—these are some of the things in the summer fashions that men question, and even a white women come up to and at, as the thermometer soars skyward. The little maiden with her "riskisha" hat goes serenly on; the girl with the white fox fur hugs them more closely, and the wearer of the velvet hat stedately rises a parasol such matters are beyond the comprehension of mere man or the woman who was brought up to view close for comfort. © MCCALL. A Spots Hat of Blue Tafeta, the Woven "Riskisha" and Silk Sailor; the "Chin-Chin", the Jabot and the Puritan Collar. Their very oddity is the bore that a coat of tan if the hat is woven with holes to duplicate the head dress of the man that pulls the jinriskisha in Japan? Even the woman who is conservative with her dress and suit, casts wisdom to the winds above the shoulder line. What lies above bespeaks the true woman who, in her heart of hearts, loves the fantasies of fashion. The demure Quaker and saucy "Chin-Chin" collar, the flappy hat and stiff-brimmed sailor, even the plug hat of silk beaver fringe that Mrs. Vernon Castle made famous at the races, appeals to those of us who like something "different". The mode breathes romance, and romance is what fashion thrives on. Every hat and every collar awakens a memory or tells a new tale. It is interesting to note that the Quaker collar has its origin in the collar of the man's costume. How scandalized the shades of the old time Quaker and Puritan must be to see their collar made in frivolous organdy, Swiss and cretonne! Jabots and frills come from another period when French courtlers wore fur-belows. In modern times, Sarah Bernheart gives her famous youth-giving frill to the high collar; while the flaring half collars that are still shown on dresses and waisths harp back to the portrait or Shelley. Nor is the mode without humor; "Chin-Chin" collars, aimed at a giddy masquerade costume, have gone far off the mark and appear on coats. Past modes are drawn on for hats, too. In an exclusive shop, just off the Avenue, one of the girls of the younger set ordered a garden hat the other day of white chip, with a pyramid of pink roses—the exact duplicate of the hat her great-grand-mother wore whe she tripped across the lawns at the Capitol. All these garden hats of leghorn and Milan recall Colonial days. Even the "riskisha", imported in spirit from Japan, smacks of this style when trimmed with roses, the black varnished cord of which it is made contrasting with the light frocks. Broadly speaking, the hats of the season are divided into four classes; these portrait-fashion garden hats, stiff-brimmed sailors that bespeaks the past or the present, according to the materials and trimmings; the sports hats, borrowed from the four corriers of the globe, and last, but not least, the cocky turbans, which show the material note in millinery. The stiff-brimmed sailors are a chapter in themselves. Already, the straws are on the wane. Chiffon brims we have tired of, and so the attention naturally turns to sailors of blue taffeta, black velvet and cretonne. "America", the white leather-faced, blue taffeta, is a worthy emblem of the country from which it takes its name. White beaded wings for trimming bring to mind the speed of Mercury; and the glory of the ancient Rome lies in other bead trimmings for other taffeta hats. Black velvets, shiny and plushy as cat's fur, are embroidered with fleecy white wool as wintry as possible to shock the sun of summer. Birds and animals in the wool crawl over the crowns, and the brims are invariably fini-hed in old-fashioned quilt-stitch, varied in length to make a design. With white linen and cretonne costumes, "Mistress Mary" cretonne hats make a smart finish. These need no trimming, the bright collors being gay enough for any summer landscape, whether mountains, country or shore. Sports hats come from old nooks and corners. The latest a dark blue taffeta, is decidedly Chinese in aspect. It has a sloping brim, with a soft edge an inch wide that flaps down and shades the face, dented on one side with heavy balls suspended from the ends of a cord tied around the crown. Scotland contributed the tam, and there is a soft hat made completely of narrow bias stripes of silk that is finding favor under a "Made-in-America" label. © McCALL A Garden Hat of White Chip, the Military Turban and Sports Hats of Bias Silk Strips, with the Flaring, the Standing and the Quaker Collars. Those of the turbans that are smart are military; tipped farlessly to one side, with sides of velvit and crowns of silk. Indeed, so simple and so smart are these hats, they baffle description. At the present time hats come under these four classes, black and white prevailing, dark blue being the exception that proves the rule. Later, when suits grow darker, no doubt, hats will gain in brilliance. Already in Paris there is a tend in this direction. From the "City of Modes" we receive such messages as: "Occasionally, a very brilliant spot of color will be noticed in the hat, currant-colored hats or hats of the new blue de l'etoule being worn with the tailored suits of beige, white, dark navy or brown" that "The Italian military 'bersigliere' plumes at the side"; and again, "The suits of tan are usually trimmed with wide shawl collars of white wool or falle silk, and are topped with tiny white hats or by broad-brimmed sails made of soft white crepe de Chine". THE SENIOR CLASS, '15 By Edgar II. Webster, principal Nor- ..mal Dept., Atlanta. University..., In a recent issue of The Tribune I made the prophecy that the college-graduates among colored people for the decade 1910-20, would be 2,400. The prophecy was based upon reports of previous decades. I am very glad to find in the educational number of the Crisis, the July number, further warrant for the number, 2,400 with, on my part, expectation that the number is too small. If there are to be 2,400 colored college graduates in the decade thru which we are passing, there must be an average of 240 each year. The Crisis calls attention that the number for the year '15 was 250, and for the present year is 281. If one were to construct a graph of the graduate numbers from year to year, with the ordinates as the yearly census, and the abscissae as the advancing years, the resulting line would be an as- cending curve of increasing steepness. The Crisis disclaims presenting complete figures, and states that when the full returns are in, the number will exceed that stated above. Of this number (281), 243 are graduates of colored schools, leaving 38 or about 14 percent as graduates from northern colleges and universities. To these figures may be added 247 graduates from courses in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law and theology from colored professional schools; with 42 who received either professional degrees or higher-academic degrees from northern universities. The grand total is 570 names of the college and professional graduates. "Omissious will easily raise this to 650." The Crisis also tries to find the number of graduates from the high schools of the colored colleges and the high schools of the north, and finds approximately 1,800 from the South, and estimates the total number for the country at 3,000. An interesting feature of this number of the Crisis is the eighty photographs of the college graduates, including apparently about all of the graduates from the northern colleges and the "honor" students among the colored colleges of the south. Among these, eighty pictures are several whose faces are familiar in Atlanta. These are, J. W. E. Bowen, Jr., A. M. Harvard, who will continue historical studies at Harvard for a doctorate of philosophy; L. T. Wright, M. D., Harvard, referred to in a recent number of The Post; L. C. Crogman, Temple University, dentistry; Harry Butler Peters, A. B. Atlanta, "Highest Honor"; and among the honored students of high schools, the daughter of Professor and Mrs. W. B. Matthews, so well known in this city. Perhaps Atlanta carries off the largest number among these photographs of any city. The additions to the graduate fraternity among colored people are the 281 graduates who have received the degrees A. B. or B. S. The higher and professional degrees have in the main been earned by those already in this fraternit. This number (281) is the largest number of graduates the colored people have ever had in any one year. The number should be larger in '16. On an absolute basis the number is satisfactory. How does it look on a relative basis? If ten million of our citizens graduate 281 Bachelors of Arts or Science, one hundred million should graduate 2810 Bachelors of Arts or of Science. As a fact, one northern university gave 200 degrees at the June commencement. One college in Ohio gave 150 degrees to Bachelors and 89 higher degrees, none of these professional. These figures are not given to discourage. They should encourage. But they do emphasize the fact that "if the standards of a people are to be set by its educated class, then, not too many but too few colored students are in college. Of the 570 colored graduates 80 received the bachelor's degree, or a higher degree or a professional degree from some northern college or university. It is probable that the larger part of these reside in the north. Atlanta, however, furnished three of these and probably a fair fraction of the entire number is from the south. I rejoice in the fact that—I will not say a picked few—but a fortunate few are privileged to carry on their studies in northern universities. There is no southern university, in the modern meaning of the word, open to them. And there is a need that there shall be a small body of advanced students among the larger student body. Then I welcome the comparison of the colored mind with the white mind. It is either not so good as equal, or is better than that of the white student, and whichever way the fact points, the fact will be helpful. I welcome the being in the freer atmosphere of the north, where, on a whole, a man is a man. If the colored students of a northern college or university are not too channish they will find friendliness and social in course with the student body, if not with all, and, in a school of 2,000 students this is possible, at least with dormitory-mates and classmates. In conclusion, I wish that a copy of the J—uly Crisis could be in every home where there are children. CHRIST'S KINGDOM By Elder J. W. Manus There will never be another world empire until Christ comes and sets up His everlasting and universal kingdom. The crash of all empires is coming soon. In proof of this strong assertion I ask you to turn with me to the second chapter of Daniel. Here is portrayed the course of empires from Babylon, down thru the hides, closing with the downfall of all nations, and the setting of God's worldwide and eternal kingdom. A magnificent image, of gigantic form, is seen. This image's head was of fine gold, his breasts and arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, his legs of iron, and his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sayest till that a stone—smote the image upon the feet that were of iron and clay, and break them in peaces—and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

Proprietors The prophet Daniel interprets it thus, as he addressed the Babylonian monarch: "Thou art this head of gold; and after thee shall arise another kingdom of brass and shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes part of potter's clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided. They shall mingle themselves with the seed of men, but they shall not cleave one to another even as iron is not mixed with miry clay. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed". Dan 2:37-44. THE BEST PLACE In Savannah FOR MEN'S GOOD SHOES Prices $3.50 up B. H. Levy Bro. & Co. I call you to witness the fulfillment to the very letter. Beginning with Babylon, four world-kingdoms arose consecutively to rule the world, namely: Babylon; Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. Babylon has gone, and all her glory. Medo-Persia has long since passed away. Greece is almost forgotten. Rome, once "proud mistress of the world", is utterly and forever divided. Though strong as iron, Rome has remained divided for fourteen hundred years. These divisions are now known as the modern nations of Western Europe, the great nations of to-day. In five short verses the living God fretold what the human historian takes volumes to tell. The word of God cannot be broken. Iron and clay will not mix. Mighty men have tried and planned and plotted to unite the divided kingdom of Europe into one world-embrasing empire. But earth's mightiest armies, headed by her greatest generals, were not sufficient to break the power of a few simple words of scripture. Napoleon attempted to accomplish what God said could never be done, but his dream of world-empire was shattered at Waterloo. The scripture cannot be broken.

Seven short words-spoken by the living God will prove stronger than earth's greatest war lords and their hosts. Force failed to unite the divided kingdoms, so men tried another scheme. This, too, the prophet foretold: "they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men, but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." Witness how the reigning houses of Europe have intermarried with the fond hope of thus consolidating their power in order to unite these divided kingdoms. The history of Europe is one continuous testimony to the unerring accuracy of these words. It is interesting to note the blood relationship of the rulers of Europe engaged in the present war. King George and Kaiser William are first cousins. King George and Czar Nicholas are first cousins by marriage. The failure of these intermarriages to preserve peace between the royal houses is aptly expressed in the words of the prophecy, "They shall not cleave together".

"In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed".

AMONG THE MASONS The following beautiful expressions of our esteemed Past Grand Master, Charles F. Buck, is making the rounds of the Masonic Press: The newly raised Master Mason stands before us, the embodiment of spiritual perfection, from which the vices and superficialities of common life have been extracted and cleansed away. He grasps the hand, not of a man but of mankind—he becomes one with and part of the suffering mass as the pledges of fellowship are unfolded to him, and his footsteps, his prayers, and the 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 in the revelation that has come to him—in the beauties of the 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 his sovereignty; his mortality and his divine hope. He bows in a sense of humility before the grandure 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 brought home to his soul—like a new inspiration—the world should not be better and happier than he is. He is suddenly impressed with the sublime truth that the best part of our lives is that which we live for and in others. Masonry, successor of the mysteries, still follows the ancient manner of teaching. Her ceremonies are like the ancient mystic shows—not the reading of an essay, but the opening of a problem, requiring research, and constituting philosophy, the arch-exponder. Her symbols are the instructions she gives. The lectures are endeavors, often partial and one-sided, to interpret these symbols. He who would become an accomplished Mason must not be content merely to hear, or even to understand, the lectures: he must, aided by them, and they having, as it were, marked out the way for him, study, interpret, and develop these symbols for himself.—Albert Pike. Among all the institutions known to man at the present day Freemasonry and the power behind it are the only ones with clear intelligence to define man's duty to him-self and to his fellow-men, and to point out the line of self protection, liberation, and higher evolution by an exact ethical formula, free from all dogmatism, superstition, fear, or any ulterior motive whatever. Freemasonry thus stands as the epitome of human wisdom, and of man's highest achievement to the present time—Queensland Freemason. Fraternity is more than a mere word; it means the building of hearts and souls, as brothers and kinsfolk are found.—Globe. It is a fallacy to believe that the Mason with high titles or numerals or the various grand officers are of necessity the best and ablest. Some are mere accidents, often a governing body has a small head. The ablest and best Masons are often humble tollers in the quarries.—Los Angeles Trie-mason. It is the prerogative of a Master "to determine all questions of order, and what business shall be brought before the lodge." That is why a motion to "lay on the table," which is generally recognized in parliamentary bodies, is out of order in a Masonic Lodge. THE SPIRIT OF LOVE You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love. As memory scans the past, above and beyond all the transitory pleasures of life there leap forward these supreme hours when you have been enabled to do unnoticed kindnesses to those round about you, things too trifling to speak about, but which you feel have entered into your eternal life. —Henry Drummond.

Scott, President, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama "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.

Coming to London subsequently, he made the concession to my respectability of donning the coat and hat and thus we walked down Piccadilly.

Saturday July 17th, 1915 The Knights of Pythias convention which adjourned here last Thursday night was indeed a credit to the excellent order which they represented, and this city should feel itself highly honored in having had such a large and well behaved crowd of men here as composed this convention. The excellent demeanor of the crowd of visitors who came here with the convention was indeed marked and the men in the convention sessions and before the meeting place conducted themselves in a most becoming manner. In fact, there seemed to have been during the the days the convention was in session a decrease even in the usual amount of disorder which we are accustomed to witness on our streets. Perhaps the citizenry here in general was on its good behaviour or perhaps it absorbed some of the good habits from the strangers. Be this as it may, let it suffice to say that the Knights' convention was indeed a credit to the splendid order they represented and we would that all such bodies would conduct their conventions as orderly and as respectfully. The Negro citizens in general feel highly elated over the excellent meeting and demonstration which the Knights had. Their session, to all outward appearances, was conducted on a high basis, their followers carried themselves on the streets in a most commendable manner and the result of their having met here cannot but be beneficial to the Negroes of this city. Considerable uneasiness will no doubt be caused by the passage yesterday in the state senate of a bill which prohibits white teachers from teaching in colored schools. The successful passage of this bill in the House and the touch of the governor's hand to the bill making it a law in this state that white teachers should not teach in colored schools will cause a situation which will be very detrimental to the education of the Negro. There are many secondary schools and colleges among our people whose faculties are composed of both colored and white teachers and in case this bit of cast legislation is carried thru successfully a condition in Negro education in the state will result which will be very trying to deal with. In some of our leading educational institutions mixed faculties are found and it will be impossible to supply immediately the places made vacant by the white teachers forced out by this bill. In many of these schools these white teachers have been serving for many years and their value to the educational development of the Negro is inestimable. Having studied our conditions and toiled for years to remedy them in the school room as best they could, their services have been an invaluable asset in Negro education. To be bereft of their assistance at this time would be a blow which cannot be measured in a material way. They have given to the Negro the best guidance which they were capable of, they have endeavored to teach him that kind of useful education which will make him a well rounded, well balanced and valuable citizen and they have tried to instill into him those principles which will bring out his best qualities. Thus teaching the Negroes, they have benefited the whole south as well as the race by developing those qualities which make good citizens. The Negro has now reached that stage of development where he most needs safe and sane guidance along educational as well as moral lines and to shut the door of hope at this critical time in his progress would be to undo the work of the many years of sacrifice so assiduously put forth by the noble missionaries who are still working among us. It is hoped that our representatives in the legislature will be governed entirely by reason and not by feeling in dealing with this important matter. --- The city is wellnigh depopulated this week, the Negro portion of it, many having gone to Savannah to attend the session of the grand lodge. Past Grand Chancellor Dr. G. N. Stoney went down in the doctor's touring car. Mr. Paul Davis and his daughter, Miss Sadle B., and her friend, Miss Helen Lee of Boston, also made the trip by automobile. The two companies of the Uniform Rank, accompanied by the K. of P. band, the direct representative; past chancellors, representatives of Courts of Calanthe and many others left Monday morning in special cars of the Central of Georgia. It is safe to say that no section of the state sent down a finer representation than did Augusta. The picnic of the First Congregational Sunday school at Riverside Park last Wednesday was one of the most enjoyable of the season. The Odd Fellows of this city are watching Philadelphia this week. The S. C. of M., is in session there, and it is thought there may be actions taken on vital questions touching the workings of the Order in Georgia. I learn that there is present quite a delegation from Georgia, including Messrs A. Graves and R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta and Dr. B. W. S. Daniels of Savannah. Fraternal Suits There have been several suits filed against several fraternal orders here recently, all with an eye-single to depleting their treasuries This ought not to be so, but, I guess we must have them as long as these fraternal societies can show a cash balance. It is a great pity our people refuse to settle their affairs without resorting to the courts. In some cases open violation of their own laws which these very people obligated themselves to uphold and defend. Greater care should be had-in admitting people to membersrip in these fraternities. Mr. Hacket, the travelling passenger agent of the Central of Georgia Railway here, is the most popular agent that the company has ever had here. He is at all times obliging in handling our people and takes care to see that they are provided with every comfort while traveling on his line. In case of special parties he is personally in charge and takes care of every detail. In consequence, whenever there is a party leaving Augusta for any point the Central reaches directly or thru connections, Mr. Hacket gets the business. New Business I have given a tip. It is that Augusta is soon to have a small manufacturing enterprise to be owned and controlled by Negroes and the Tribune hopes to see other such enterprises inaugurated by our people. The way to get the people's trade and money, is to produce the article that they need. Business knows no color or race. The white merchant and manufacturer goes after the dollars of all the people without regard to race or color, and we must do likewise. We must create demands and then support them. Inventive genius, too, is at work among the Negroes here, I learn, and soon The Tribune may be able to announce progress along the丝 line. The K. of P. Grand Lodge. Information from Savannah is to the effect that Grand Chancellor Hutto and his entire official family were re-elected, and that the annual address of the G. C. was one of the best ever made to that body, the collections for the past year exceeding by nearly ten thousand dollars that of any previous year. The actual balance being in the neighborhood of $75,000.00 with every death claim presented, paid. That is a remarkable record, when you take into consideration the financial panic in which we are still enveloped. The city is now surrounded by a levee that cost several million dollars, and we are now supposed to be flood proof. AUGUSTA NEWS FROM BLACKSHEAR, GA. Fannie Grey, Correspondent On Wednesday night, June 30, Mr. and Mrs. Owens Robinson gave a grand reception in Blackshear in honor of Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Judkins whose marriage took place Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's father at Savannah. A host of friends met them at the train and escorted them to the beautiful home of the bride's cousin. They were met at the gate by Misses Mamie Midgette and Ora B. Fisher, and while the march was being played by Miss M. Richardson they entered the dining hall where the wedding cake was presented by Mr. S. L. Allen. The cake was given by Mrs. Fannie Grey. They then enu- tered the parlor which was beautifully decorated with ferns and crepe myrtle, Miss Mamle Midgett sang "Because" and Miss Ora Fisher sang "You Promised Me". Mr. J. C. Fisher, a schoolmate of the groom, made the welcome address. Mr. Judkins sang "As true as the stars above", to the delight of all and especially to the bride. Every body was of tlirl best. The writer hasn't adequate words to tell about the refreshments but we did have one grand time. Miss R. Marshall and Messrs J. E. Fisher and J. Deakle served. Mr. J. C. Fisher left Friday for Columbus, Ga., to spend the summer months. Miss R. Marshall has returned home to spend the summer. Mr. I. J. White, Sr., made a lecture to the B. Y. P. U. Sunday. Mr. Melvin Williams visited parents Sunday. Mr. S. P. Pettle of Jacksonville, Fla., was the quest of Miss Minnie Fisher Sunday. Miss Mamie Midgette has returned from school to spend the summer. The colored cooks will have a two, weeks demonstration at the Old Home school, beginning on the 19th. Prof. Fisher said he had secured two of the best experts he could. SEA ISLAND NEWS, BLUFFTON, SOUTH CAROLINA J. Mardenborough, correspondent The Endowment day exercise of the Seven Stars of Consolidation was held at Zion Baptist Church on Sunday. The programme was carried out with a deal of interest. In fact, it seemed as tho it is only a matter of time before the Seven Stars of Consolidation will be one of the leaders in this state. May God attend the cause. Mr. Benjamin Brown of Jacksonville, Fla., spent several hours with his father on Sunday. He looks the picture of health. Mr. P. S. Garvin made a business trip here this week. Mrs. S. A. Solomons left on the steamer Louise on another of her bi-monthly trips. We hope her an enjoyable time. Mrs. Irene Campbell of Savannah is spending several days here with her relatives. Mrs. Amanda Green of Savannah is summering it here. She expresses herself as having enjoyed it thus far. Capt Albert Petterson made a business trip to Daufuskie this week. It is very likely that the captain will go in business there. The Citizen Committee is working on some matters relative to the public school. The co-operation of the people is desired in as much as it is of their interest. Capt. Jno Haynes spent several days at Georgia State Industrial College. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER By J. C. Lindsay A choice place always awaits the faithful worker who works unselfishly for the benefit of the people in the community in which he lives. To such a worker or workers, the people look for guidance and help along many lines. In verification of this fact, it will only be necessary to call attention briefly to the words of commendation and praise which have been lavished so freely by our visiting friends, the Pythian brethren, for the racial uplift work which is being done so systematically by the Negro Business League headed by A. B. Singfield and the splendid work of better housing conditions and better living conditions among Negroes in this community, which is being done by the Urban League, headed by Editor Sol. C. Johnson, of the Savannah Tribune. Prof. John Hope, president of the great Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., was kind enough to say on last Monday night in the presence of more than fifteen hundred people, that the National Secretary, Eugene Kinkle Jones had said to him and to others that the Savannah branch of the National Urban League, under the management of Sol. C. Johnson was in the best and most prosperous condition of any in the United States, out side of New York. Savannahians, as a whole, are grateful indeed to Mr. E. K. Jones and to Prof. Jno Hope for their kind words of the meritorious work which is being so unselfishly done by Editor Sol. C. Johnson, and those of his followers who believe in the constructive leadership. Not by Pulling Others Down But by carefully walking over them when they just fall down and lie there and will not make any effort to get up and move forward, is the doctrine taught by the Negro Business League of this city. The Negro business element in this community has long since come to the conclusion to pass up the man or set of men, who attempts to rise in the world of business, politics, fraternal or otherwise, by putting his feet upon the neck of his contemporary who is struggling with might and main and who is putting forth the best honorable endeavors in him to worthily leave his footprints on the sands of time. SHOW YOUR WIFE HOW BANK BOOK IN ACCOUNT WITH Pulling Together Is only another word meaning success, which the Negro Business League in this weekly letter has been trying to stress with all the power at its command for nearly two full years. In its effort in this regard, the Negro Business League, in its weekly letter, has striven at all times, as much as possible, to encourage optimism and good feelings which essentials the American Negro-can ill afford to be without. In the mean time, it has done what it could in the way of trying to discourage mud-throwing, muck-raking and slime-slinging among members of the race, whether they be engaged directly in business or not, as we do not feel that such methods adopted to bring recognition and notoriety, are worth what it costs the race to get them. She can save TIME and MONEY by paying her bills in CHECKS instead of in CURRENCY. She will enjoy both the learning and the results and take pride in keeping her accounts up to date and her balance as big as possible. We are Proud of our Record Why should we not be? Do we not live in the fairest and best city in Georgia? Here in this city, where every man is given an opportunity to make for himself and family an honest living and serve his God under his own vine and fig tree, unmolested and unafraid. Here the Negro is making progress, here he is learning the lessons of co-operation, here he is learning to solve the intricate business problems which confront him from time to time, here he is learning to trust his own race, here he is learning to do business with his own people. Then why should we not feel proud when we, as a business organization, feel that we, in a limited sense, had a little something to do with bringing about these glorious results which mean so much to our racial betterment, as well as our business progress. A SEPARATE WINDOW is devoted to women patrons, in charge of a teller who gives polite attention to all their requirements. Principles like these are those for which the Negro Business League stands, which meets again at its headquarters, Wage Earners Bank building, Alice and West Broad streets, Friday evening July 16th 1915. Come early and bring a friend with you. PETITION FOR CHANGE OF NAME State of Georgia, Chatham County. To the Superior Court of said county. The petition of William Durden, E. N. P.

IN MEMORIAM In memory of my adopted son, COURTLAND EUGENE THOMAS, Who was graduated at West Broad street school, June 30th, 1914 and departed this life July 10th, 1914 age 19 years. This life's a dream, an empty show, But that bright world to which I go; Hath joys substantial and sincere, When shall I wake and find me there? My fresh shall slumber in the ground, Till the last trumpet-joyful sound; Then burst the chains with sweet sur- prise; And in my Savior's image rise. Angels get my palace ready for I am coming home.

The meeting will be held in Convention Hall, Garrison and St. Botolph streets, Boston's newest and most commodious hall, erected especially for the accommodation of such organizations as the League is hard at work perfecting ar-Friday, August 18th, 19th and 20th, 1915. The Boston Local Negro Business League is hard at work profecting arrangements for the reception and entertainment of the delegates who are planning to be present. Aside from the regular business sessions of the league, the social side of the convention will not be neglected. A guarantee fund has already been secured for the purpose of financing every feature of the reception and entertainment of the delegates. Affiliated Organizations The officers of the affiliated organizations of The National Negro Business League including the National Negr Press Association, The National Negro Bankers' Association, The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association, The National Negro Bar Association, The National Association of Negro Insurance Men and the National Negro Refail Merchants' Association are each individually planning their several programs so as to add interest to the coming meeting and to make them constructively worth while to their several individual members. Arrangements have been made with the Southern Railway whereby a National Negro Business League Special train will leave Atlanta, Sunday night, August 15. between 11 and 12 o'clock, midnight. The special summer tourist rate to Boston and the east which apply in connection with this meeting are much more favorable and satisfactory than any rates which may be secured at four (4) cents per mile for the round trip. Delegates and intending visitors are earnestly urged to get in touch at once with their railroad passenger agents who will acquaint them with the summer tourist rates from their respective places of residence. The arrangement at present is that delegates living in the Southeastern territory shall assemble at Atlanta, Georgia, from which point the National Negro Business League Special train will start. Delegates from Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina are especially urged to arrange to join this special train which will be provided with separate engine, baggage car, dining car and all Pullman cars. Delegates living in Florida are especially urged to communicate at once with Mr. Charles H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, 132 Broad street, Jacksonville, Florida. Alabama delegates are asked to communicate at once with Mr. E. T. Attwell, president of the Alabama State Negro Business League, Tuskegee, Institute, Alabama. West Tennessee delegates with Mr. T. H.

Hall, a member of the Executive Committee of the National organization, 3208 South Park avenue, Chicago. Illinois, and William D. Neighbors, a member of the national organization, 3241 Vernon avenue are formulating plans for a Negro Business League special train to start from Chicago for the convenience of the delegates living in the vicinity of St. Louis, Chicago and gill of the western territory, including points in Kentucky and Illinois. Arrangements will be made for delegates to stop off at Buffalo and Niagara Falls for a sight seeing tour. Delegates intending to be pres ent from that section of the country are_requested to write Dr. Hall or Mr. Neighbors. It is especially desired that the delegates should notify the gentlemen in the states above named as early as possible as to their intentions so that reservations may be made for them in the Pullman cars which are being provided for the accommodation of the several state delegations. The City of Inspiration Every person should visit Boston at least in his life. It is the City of Inspiration. From within her gates have gone out, with the flow of the years, currents of thought that have vitally affected the life of the nation. There are yet standing some of the buildings like Faneuil Hall, Old South Meeting house, the old State House, King Chapel, Christ Church, etc., in which the sparks of national independence were fanned; and on her commons and streets are to be seen many memorials of those who labored that the colored people of America might be free. Not only this, but all around her, within almost a stone's throw, are numbers of other small cities which are rich with historical associations. The League delegates should not fail to visit these places nor overlook the many splendid business establishments of Boston, the Hub of New England and the great north. Business enterprises have been brought to a very high degree of efficiency in Boston, and delegates can learn much through the opportunities which will be offered them to visit some of the larger and more important business houses. The colored citizens of Boston, always hospitable, are sparing no pains to make the coming and stay of the delegates a pleasant one. On Friday evening, August 20th, a banquet in honor of the delegates, their wives and families, etc., will be tendered by the officers and members of the Boston Negro Business League and by the citizens of Boston and vicinity. This banquet, as at present projected, will prove to be one of the most satisfactory affair ever given in honor of the National Negro Business League. Delegates are requested to have their mall directed to the headquarters of the Boston Negro Business League, 121 Campbell street, Rosbury District, Boston, Mass. Further information as to detailed plans for the coming meeting, etc. may be secured from BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, President, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama J. C. NAPIER, Chairman Executive Committee, Napier Court, Nashville, Tennessee EMMETT J. SCOTT TO CHECK THE MIGRATION OF NEGROES TO CITIES 39 Cities Have More than 2,000 and 12 More Than 40,000. Tuskegee, Ala., July 4.—The third week of the sixth annual session of the Tuskegee Institute summer school for colored teachers with an enrollment of 422 from fourteen states, ended with an address on "Methods to Check Migration of Negroes to Cities" by Prof. George Edmund Haynes of Nashville Prof Haynes declared among other things that the most vital problem that concerns the American Negro is fundamentally social and economic that the serious question is where the mass of Negroes of the South should live; that the migration of more than 27 per cent of the Negro population to the cities has resulted in a large and increasing urban population; that 33 cities had more than 2,000 Negroes each; that 12 cities had more than 20,000; that five of these were Northern cities and seven Southern; that in every city where the Negro population had reached a considerable proportion it is largely congested into congested district neighborhoods, thus making more acute the problems growing out of their change from rural to urban life, and that the efforts of his organization are directed to help in counteracting this migration to cities and seek to improve the serious social conditions growing up among Negroes in the cities and the rural districts. The two fundamental principles that animate the National League on Urban Conditions, the speaker declared, are to seek the co-operation of Negroes and white friends and the co-ordination of existing agencies and organizations to check the great migration to cities, and to help those who migrate to town to learn how to live and survive there and become like other citizens. The National League seeks to check this flow of the Negro population to the cities and towns by pointing out to them the sharp competition between skilled and unskilled labor, by showing the alarming death rate among Negroes living in congested districts, by calling attention to the bad housing and foul sanitary conditions of the masses of Negroes in the cities and by showing them the advantages of owning homes in the country and of living on the soil. In carrying out this program of so- clal service, several social workers are being trained for the special work in Negro colleges and universities and much good has been accomplished in Savannah, Atlanta, St. Louis, Richmond, Vn. Philadelphia and New York. The Biggest Cracker. The "kasabi" torta (we get our word "tart" from torta) of Hispanic-America is the biggest regularly made cracker on earth. It is made from the kasabi root and lightly fired in cakes about the size of a small parasol. A cracker for a hat—such indeed is sometimes the use made by the Latin peons of the kasabi torta when needing a temporary sunshade (sombrero). The torta is always made bowl shaped so it can be balanced on the head without any particular effort—and provided no wind interferes. Rain, however, quickly soaks and collapses this remarkable and useful edible headgear—London Express. 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. Prescally, as she reached "Juanita," one heard coming in her birdlike little voice from the depths of the big armchair: "In the dark, I slammed her." A startled parent found that the line really read: "In 'thy dark eyes' splendor."—New York Post. "I understand that she does a good deal of vocal work." "Yes. Her singing is labored."—Judge. Turning Lead Into Gold. Professor F. Soddy, F. R. S., declares that it is only a question of application to change lead into gold. He says that while now we can only work with electricity at 100,000 volts, it is only a matter of perfecting the method to be able to work at ten times that voltage, when the baser metals can be changed into the more precious. In other words, electricity, when brought to its highest efficiency and application, is the real philosopher's stone for which the alchemists of the middle ages searched so long. -London Spectator: Early Football Players Football was for many years the national game of Florence. The season was from January to March, and the ladies and gentlemen of Florence and the populace as well were wont to assemble on the Plazza Santa Gloce to witness the game, which was called "calcio," from the word meaning "to kick." The last game was played in 1739. More Push: Less Push. The primal cause of America breakdown has been attributed by a famous physician to those absurd feelings of hurry and care, to that breathlessness and tension, that anxiety of feature and solicitude of results, revealing the lack of inner harmony and ease, without which good work cannot be accomplished. The man who gives us the impression of the old Scriptural motto, "In quietness and confidence shall be your strength," is none too common in these days.—Christian Harald. Progress. "My wife knew nothing of house keeping to begin with, but she's learning fast." "That's encouraging." "Oh, she's a bright little woman, if I do say it! It has taken only two cooks to teach her to keep away from the kitchen, and I suppose that's at least half the battle." - Puck Compulsory Change of Nama. A notable instance of compulsory change of name occurred in Scotland in the seventeenth century, when the clan Macgregor was ordered to abandon and forget its ancient patronymic. The English government thought by this means to stamp out the spirit of Rob Roy's redoubtable kinsmen, and so sternly was the decree enforced that the use of the old name was treated as a capital offense. For the time the clansmen submitted and took other names; but so far from forgetting the old designation, later generations proudly reverted to it, and today there are more Macgregors in the world—to the world's gain—than ever before—London Standard. As It Looked to Him. "Who is that remarkable looking man?" "Himmel! That's the magician who yesterday turned beer into water. And they let a man like that go around loose!"—Meggendorfer Blaetter. Logical Result. "She has such a dogged expression" "No wonder, with that pug nose."—Baltimore American. Caught Both Way. "I saw Tommy stealing the jam." "And I saw him jamming the steal." —Baltimore American. AFFECTION The strength of affection is a proof, not of the worthiness of the object, but of the largeness of the soul that loves. Love descends, not ascends. The might of a river depends not on the quality of the soil through which it passes, but on the inexhaustibleness and depth of the spring from which it proceeds.—F. W. Robertson. Well Acquainted. Maurice and Mildred were visiting their grandmother when they became so mischievous that she made the old time threat, "If you don't behave the bad man will get you." The children had never heard the threat before and did not understand the "bad man" part of it. The following conversation between them was overheard some time later: "Mildred, who is the bad man?" "I don't know. You will have to ask grandma. She is well acquainted with him."-Indianapolis News. FOR ONE For Firstclass Shoe Repairing. T.A.

Mountain Lakes. The Uinta mountains of Utah, included within the Wasatch, Uinta and Ashley national forests, should become a favorite recreation region because of the many small lakes within depressions scooped out by glacial drifts. Seventy such lakes can be counted from Reld's peak, and one particular township, thirty-six miles square, contains more than 100.-Argonaut. "You are charged," said a magistrate, "with talking back at an officer. Have you anything to say?" "Dayvii a word, your honor," replied the culprit. "Olve said too much already."—Philadelphia Ledger. What They Thought. The carter brought a heavy load of coal to the doors of an English county innatic asylum and, getting no answer to his ring, entered and strolled along the corridors. No one was about, and, seeing a door, he opened it and stepped inside. No one was there. Then the door closed, and he found himself in a padded cell. Presently some visitors entered and peered pityingly through an aperture in the door. "Please open the door," he pleaded. "I've brought a load of coal." "Ah," said one of the party, "that's his delusion. Some think they are the king or the mikado or Napoleon Bonaparte. This poor fellow thinks he's a coal porter. Come along." Then they went on and left him. LIFE IS A SERVICE There is one wish ruling over all mankind, and that is a wish which is never in any single instance granted—each man wishes to be his own master. It is a boy's beatific vision, and it remains the grownup man's ruling passion to the last. But the fact is life is a service. The only question is, Whom will we serve?—F. W. Faber. Proof of It. "The Eskimos live on a light diet"— "Hold on there; you're wrong. They live on the fattest kind of food." "Well, I'm very sure our teacher told us they eat candles."—Baltimore American. Wall Paper.

SINGFIELD, General Supt VN SHOPPING SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson IV.—Third Quarter, For July 25, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Kings viii, 22-30. Memory Verses, 23, 24—Golden Text, Isa. Ivi, 7—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In some respects the ark of Noah the tabernacle of Moses and the temple of Solomon were the three most remarkable buildings in the history of the world, for God Himself was the sole designer of each, and each was intensely typical of things to come concerning the Saviour, salvation and the kingdom. The great truths of our redemption have been made more plain to me by tabernacle studies than in any other way, and I most earnestly commend to all readers a little book, costing only 25 cents, entitled "The Tabernacle" or "The Gospel According to Moses," by George Rodgers. (Am. S. S. Union, 1816 Chestnut, Philadelphia.) The spiritual lessons from the temple are very similar, but with more of the kingdom outlook. Solomon began to build the temple 480 years after the Exodus (I Kings vi, 1). If you add up the figures in Acts xill, covering this period, you will make it 573, but if you subtract the 93 years of the oppressions of all Israel in the days of the Judges, the accounts will agree perfectly. Out of fellowship, with God means lost time, whether with a nation or an individual (Num. vi, 12; Job xxxiv, 29). Solomon's temple was finished in the eleventh year of his reign, and it was plundered just thirty-four years after, in the fifth year of Rehoboam (I Kings vi, 37, 38; xiv, 25, 26). This was just the time between the birth of the Messiah, the true temple, and His death. Zerubbabel built the second temple after the return from Babylon. At the time of Christ's ministry Herod had been rebuilding that temple forty-six years (John ii, 20). The last eight chapters of Ezekiel tell of a temple yet to be built when Israel shall be restored. Both tabernacle and temple were dwelling places for God in the midst of Israel. God was in Christ. Every true believer is now His temple (I Cor. vi, 19, 20). The church. His body, now being built, is the temple in which we are for the present most interested (Eph. ii, 19-22). All the materials for tabernacle and temple were willing offerings (Ex. xv. 2; xxxv. 29; I Chron. xix. 3, 9, 17). Christ gave Himself willingly for us (Heb. x, 5-9; John vi, 3S). We must be willing offerings, keeping nothing back. Remember the only foundation (II Chron. ill. 1) spoken of in a previous lesson, the great atonement suggested by Moriah and Ornan's threshing floor and the silver sockets of the tabernacle boards and see I Cor. ill. 11. If we are truly, in Christ we are living stones in the temple now being builted (I Pet. ii. 5), but as in the temple of our lesson every stone was made ready in the quarry or somewhere for its particular place in the building (I Kings vii. 7), so, while the believer is a stone by the precious blood of Christ, we are being made fit for our places in the building by the daily training here. When the temple was finished and the ark set in its place in the holy of holies the glory of the Lord filled the house, so that the priests could not stand to minister (I Kings viii. 4-11). It is our privilege thus to be Spirit filled, so that self may find no place. Our special lesson verses are a little part of Solomon's great prayer at the dedication of the temple, in which he glorified God, saying, "Lord God of Israel, there is no God like Thee, * * * who keepest covenant and mercy with Thy servants that walk before Thee with all their heart" (xxiii). He also praised God for fulfilling His word to David and asked Him to continue to do so (verses 21, 26). Then he asked the Lord that His eyes might be open night and day toward the house he had builded for His name (verses 27-30). He presented seven separate petitions concerning different matters, saying each time "Hear Thou in Heaven" or "Hear Thou in Heaven Thy dwelling place" (verses 30, 32, 34, 30, 39, 43, 45, 49). He pleaded that He would do this for Israel, as His inheritance, whom He had separated from among all the people of the earth, and that He would maintain their cause at all times, as the matter might require, or, as in the margin, the thing of a day in his day (verses 51, 53, 59). This expression is found also in the story of the manna (Ex. xvi, 4, margin) and elsewhere, reminding us that His care is sure day by day as He has taught us to pray. His desire was "that all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there is none else" (verse 60). So it was also with Joshua and David and Hezekiah (Josh. iv, 21: 1 Sam. xvii, 46: II Kings xix, 10), and nothing less should be our desire. Before he began to build he said, "The Lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence" (chapter v. 4), and now he says, "Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto His people Israel; * * * there hath not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised by the hand of Moses. His servant" (verse 50). So also is it written in Josh. xxl. 45; xxill. 14, and so it will be until the kingdom comes and we shall find that not one word has failed of all that God has spoken. He shall not fall nor be discouraged, and He shall see of the travail of His soul and be satisfied. The Secret of a Good Figure often lies in the brassiere.

Band, the three other bands and the drum corps kept things unusually lively from early Monday morning until Friday morning when the last of the visiting companies got out of town. At the camp and on the streets martial airs could be heard at almost all hours of the night and until the wee hours of the morning, the principal offenders being the band from Augusta. Dressed in summer uniform on the parade and at the park and twenty men strong, this aggregation was easily the "class" among the bands and wherever they appeared they received a big hand from the spectators. Several concerts were given by them, Patt's Place, West Broad and Gaston, and the Wage Earners bank being among the business places they complimented. At the latter place their rendition of the "Memphis Blues" "Tipperary" and the "Down Home Rag" and the overture "Elves" attracted wide attention. Both the lodges and the courts held interesting sessions, the former being attended by 325 representatives and the latter by 350. Since last June there have been added 16 lodges and 23 courts, the lodges receiving an increased of 1,000 members and the courts 1,305. The reports of the secretaries showed the number of lodges to be 460 with an approximate membership of 16,000 and the number of courts 350 with about 12,000 members. The treasurer's report of the lodges shows a balance on hand of $40,529.84 while the courts now have on hand a balance of $33,022.99. The sessions of the lodges were presided over by Grand Chancellor Hutto of Bainbridge and Mrs. R. L. Barnes was the presiding officer at the meeting of the courts. Among the important measures passed by the lodge was the abolition of the Pythian Temple commission, that to consolidate the offices of the grand keeper of records and seal and the secretary-treasurer of the endowment bureau was lost. There were no changes in the official roster of officers of the lodge and but few among the grand court officers. Both the old presiding officers were re-elected without opposition, as was true of several of the other officers. The only fight for officers was for the position of grand vice chancellor and grand attorney. Col. A. B. Singfield of this city made a bid for, the former position and lost to the encumebent by a vote of 73 against 185. F. B. Pettle sought the grand attorneyship losing out to P. A. Allen by a vote of 60 to 152. Dr. Stevens of Darien who was a candidate for grand medical register withdrew from the race. Mrs. Barnes received much praise from the members of the courts and the manner in which she is idolized by them in general showed with what love and respect they regard her. Two cities made a bid for the next convention, Albany and Atlanta, the former being elected by a large majority. The Music The Sessions Grand Lodge P. G. C., Dr. G. N. Stoney.....Augusta G. C., G. R.

It means that part of the family income which is used for the necessities and luxuries of life. It is quite apart from and apart from the more serious, substantial part of the income, which is the saved part. In America, the entire income is "liquid," and the man who attempts to make part of it solid is called a "tightwad." A "tightwad" is really a man who creates a principal—a capital, in other words—and he is the living example of what every private business must be and of how the country's resources should be handled. Argonaut. Poetry and Patriotism Zakris Topellus, "the most popular poet Finland has ever known," was a lover of his native land above all else. Once, says Paul Wainman in "A-Summer Tour In Finland," he wrote as follows to a little Finnish boy who was at the time residing in England for his schooling: "You are in a great and rich country, but never forget that you are only an exile. If Queen Victoria herself should write and offer you a post in her kingdom remember that you must answer: I cannot, because I have a cottage waiting for me when I am grown up. It has a roof higher than the loftiest hall in Windsor castle. That roof is the blue sky of my own land." Falmouth. Falmouth is probably the oldest port in England. It was used by the Phoenicians at least 2,500 years ago. Dr. Johnson's Resolutions. Dr. Johnson compiled this list of good resolutions on his fifty-first birthday in 1760: "Resolved, Deo juvente, to combat notions of obligations; to apply to study; to reclaim imaginations; to consult the resolves on Tetty's coffin; to rise early; to study religion; to go to church; to drink less strong liquors; to keep a journal; to oppose laziness by doing what is to be done tomorrow; rise as early as I can; send for books of history of war; put books in order; scheme of life." A Polished Villain "He is very popular with his wife of late." "And him such a flirt. How does he do it?" "She called him up the other day and said, 'Hello, darling,' and he recognized her voice and replied: 'You have evidently made a mistake. I am not your darling. I have the dearest, sweetest, most beautiful wife in the world, and she is the only woman I permit to call me darling.'"—Houston Post. Matching the Furniture. The head stenographer was a blond again. "She had to do it," explained the office boy. "Dark hair looks flat against this new mahogany office furniture."—Philadelphia Ledger. >21 Circumstantial Evidence. >What makes you think his wife is not a good cook? >Well, instead of carrying a lunch when he goes to work he visits a restaurant and carries a lunch when he goes home." -Houston Post. Not Garrulous. Client—What! You expect me to pay you 253 francs for tiking possession of such a small inheritance! You should have warned me it would cost so much. Lawyer—My motto, sir, is "Deeds, not words."—Paris Pelo Mele. Penitenca. "I suppose you're sorry now?" asked the prison visitor, according to the Philadelphia Ledger. The young man who had stolen $17,000 and spent it in sixteen weeks sighed through the bars. "Oh, yes!" he answered. "I tried to cut too much of a splurge. The money ought to have lasted me a week longer." Dishes of Tea. The Tavistock, the bachelors' hotel in Covent Garden, is probably the only place in London where a man must drink his "dish" of tea after the fashion of a century and more ago. These dishes are cups without handles. They are larger than those used by our great-great-grandmothers, which would hardly suit the modern masculine demand. The Tavistock dishes are of uniform pattern—white china with a broad blue band—Pall Mall Gazette. Qualities of Courage "There are different kinds of courage." "I know that is a theory. But is it true?" "Undoubtedly. A girl, for instance, will have the courage to wear an outlandish bathing suit and yet not have the courage to go into the water!"—Seattle Post-Intelligencer; Lincoln's Companion When Abraham Lincoln in 1808 sought solitude that he might write his inaugural address, he asked his friend Herndon for a copy of the constitution, for Webster's reply to Hayne, for Jackson's proclamation against nullification and for Henry Gay's speech on the compromise in 1850. Just a Man. "Are you afraid of burglars?" "I used to be, but I got a look at one not long ago, and I'm not afraid any more. I found out that he was only a man, just like my husband."—Exchange After the Movies "Whit's wrang noo? Did ye no' like The Battle o' Waterloo?" "Waterloo! Dye no' ken my grand father fought in the battle, and I never seen him in a' the picture!" -Glasgow News. Badly Named. There is a man in a midland town whose name is Barst. It is a misfortune that would not have attracted much attention if he had not called his two children Anna May and Ernest Will—London Mall. Her Housekeeping. Growells—Smith's wife must be poor housekeeper. Mrs. Growells—Why do you think so? Growells—He declares he's perfectly comfortable at home every day in the year.—Chicago News. RELIABILITY. Try to be reliable. Reliability is far more important than genius, so far as the comfort of the people with whom you live is concerned. PEKIN THEATRE 6 REELS DAILY OPEN 7:00 P. M. W. J.
