The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX ODD FELLOWS GRAND LODGE TO BE HELD AT ATHENS, GA. AUGUST 10TH Large Delegation Expected—Much Interest Being Manifested—Several Aspirants for Office—Official Rout Not Yet Selected. The fraternal men of the state are now turning their attention towards Athens, Ga., where the Odd Fellows grand lodge session will be held in a little more than two weeks. The convention will convene on the tenth of next month and is expected to be the largest session in the history of the order. Much interest is being manifested and ere the time arrives the entire state will be alive with enthusiasm. It was first thought that many propositions would be brought up and a hard fight made for their passage, but judging from the number of aspirants that have sprung up for various offices in the grand lodge, the election will be the center of attraction, and the main business of the grand lodge forgotten in their effort to reach their ambition. Such though should not be the case. The rank and file should be the first consideration along with the enactment of such laws that will prove to be beneficial and helpful, and the delegates should see to it that this is done. There are hundreds of men in this state who have the order at heart and who are willing to make sacrifices for its maintenance and success, while on the other hand, there are some whose greed for office has blinded them as to the welfare and general good of the order. There will be men of the latter class at Athens next month and the delegates should not be so near sighted as to allow themselves to be taken over by them. Think first of the order and the legislating of such business that will tend to bring good results. Let the offices be your last consideration and when the time rolls around for election, cast your ballot for men of quality who carry with them an unlimited amount of respectability. It is time that the Savannah delegation should get together and decide over what route they will go and the time of leaving. The delegates in the rural districts are anxious for this information and it would be well if the delegation would proceed at once to attend to it. There are two roads that can be taken, the Southern and the Central and over either there will be delegates to be taken on along the route, but mostly so over the Central. The fare to Athens from this point will be $7.65 round trip. DR. CARGILL PASSED AWAY Baltimore, Md., July 19—The funeral of Dr. J.

Washington Says Tuskegee, Ala July 18—There were thirty-four lynchings in the United States in the first six months of 1915, as compared with twenty-one in the same period in 1914, according to reports kept by Prof. Monroe N. Worke of the Tuskegee Institute. The statement was made clear to-day by Booker T. Washington' head of the institution. Of those lynched this year twenty-four were Negroes and ten were whites, as against twenty Negroes and one white in 1914. Eight of the lynchings took place in Georgia. Six of the Negroes and one of the whites, among the thirty-four, were accused of attacking women. Most of the lynchings were due to thiefts of cotton, hogs, meat or cows. DEATH Mr. Wm. A. Jaudon of 515 Minis street, died at Charity hospital on Saturday of last week. He had been ill for only a short time and his sudden death was quite a shock to his many friends. Mr. Jaudon who was twenty-three years old, was born here and was the son of Mrs. Susie and Mr. Walter Jaudon. He was a young man of retiring disposition, industrious and well liked by all who knew him. He was a barber by trade. His funeral took place Monday afternoon. Besides his parents the deceased is survived by a wife, Mrs. Frankie Jaudon, and a brother. WAYNESVILLE SCHOOL WATNESVILLE SCHOOL WAS WELL ATTENDED The Waynesville school of which Prof. P. H. Hurst is principal, began its eighth year on the 28th of last month with a large enrollment. The school is one of the best equipped in that section of the state and its value to the community is Inestimable. The school ranges from the first to the seventh grades and is well attended throughout the entire school year. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, Delightful Outing To Daufuskie BY THE MUTUAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY Annual Picnic Afforded Genuine Pleasure to About Five Hundred Guests—Rain Fails to Mar Spirit of Picnickers. The Mutual Benevolent Society, one of the oldest organizations In the city, treated its friends to its annual all day outing to Daufuske Island on Thursday. Guests to the number of about five hundred took in the trip and enjoyed a day which was indeed one of genuine pleasure. Among the guests were twenty strangers and these were allowed the privilege of seeing the entire harbor, by the short trip which was taken up the river to a point beyond the Ocean Steamship company' wharfs before the run was made down to Daufuske. About seven hours were given the crowd to enjoy themselves on the island and all forms of amusements were indulge in. Dancing, of course, was the main source of enjoyment for the younger set and the manner in which they interpreted the new dances was indeed a particularly pleasing sight to the older ones. Fishing attracted many of the older men while the little folks took to the swings, see-saws and improvised "flying" horses. A very interesting feature of the afternoon's entertainment was a ball game between the younger members of the Mutuals and a picked team from among the guests. It resulted, of course, in a victory for the Mutuals. The intermittent rains caused a little inconvenience to the mothers and their babies but the ardor of the crowd suffered not in the least from them. The picnickers returned to the city about 9 p. m. SEA SIDE NEWS, BLUFFTON, S. C. J. Charles Mardenborough Mrs. Henrietta Godsend returned to Savannah on Sunday after spending several days, here. Mr. William Rhyan was called suddenly to Adams Run this week on account of the death of his brother. He has our deepest sympathy in his bereavement. Mr. Howard Stiles of Savannah made a business trip here this week. We were all glad to see him. Mrs. C. A. Riley attended the funeral of her nepheu at Adams Run this week. Mr. Edward Green of Savannah spent several hours with his wife on Sunday. Mrs. Green will be here thru the summer. Mrs. Lillie Hayward of Savannah spent Sunday with Mrs. Daisy Mitchel Riley. She looks the picture of health. Mrs. S. Polite of Pritchardville, S. C., has resumed her work as trained nurse in Tampa, Fl., but she arrived here on Friday where, she will spend several weeks. Miss Sylvia Moultrie spent several days here last week. She expresses herself as having enjoyed her stay. Were all glad to see her. Mr. W. J. Chalmers, for many years a citizen here but now of Savannah, has been here several days. He looks the picture of health. Mrs. Julia Ward of Savannah spent several days with her brother, Mr. P. A. Riley, last week. The B. Y. P. U. met at Zion Baptist Church on Sunday, a very interesting program was had. It is our wish that more would attend Sunday school. The grown-up-folks should attend; but beyond all doubt they should force their children to attend. It seems to be forgotten that the Sunday school is the future church. In order that the future church may be able to meet the needs of the time, the children will have to be brought up in some sort of Sunday school. The nickel Club met at the home of Mrs. Hager Gadsden on Sunday. SATURDAY JULY 24TH, 1915 Farm Demonstration During Next Week WILL BE HELD AT MILLEN, GA.

Mason, for a number of years one of the two secretaries of the Freedmen's Aid Societies of the M. E. Church and at present, pastor of a Methodist Episcopal Church in Jacksonville, Fla., is seriously ill at John's Hospital. He is said to be suffering from an affection of the kidneys. Dr. Mason is a native of South Carolina and received his education at Clarke University, Atlanta, and at Gammon Theological Seminary. Baltimore is to have another race weekly. Those behind the venture include the Revs. Earnest Lyons, A. L. Gaines, W. E. Edward Williams, M. J. Nayler, Levi Miller, George F. Bragg and S. A. Virgil. BIGGEST EXCURSION OF THE SEASON The scene at the wharf of the Benu-fort-Savannah Line on last Monday afternoon was worth witnessing when about 1,500 people gathered there to take in the outing of the Savannah Home Association to Daufuskie. The two boats that were chartered for the occasion could not accommodate the large crowd and several hundred were turned away much disappointed. It was really the largest excursion of the season and it is not probable that it will be surpassed. The only means of surpassing it will be the chartering of three boats and that will hardly be done. The trip down to the island and back was very pleasant and enjoyable. Not a sign of confusion was to be seen among the thousand or more who made the trip. The committee deserves credit for the manner in which they handled the crowd. The advertised hour for leaving was 3:30 and promptly at the appointed time the last boat moved away from the wharf, the first boat leaving eight minutes before, and for as half hour or more the people continued to come down but the merry plenckers were on their way to the pleasure ground. From all accounts, the affair was a financial success, the association realizing between four and five hundred dollars. ZION MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION The Zion Missionary Baptist Association met at the Mt. Tabor Baptist Church, Henry and East Broad streets last week. The session lasted four days, closing on last Sunday night. It was largely attended, and much affective work was transacted. The meeting was presided over by the moderator, Rev. J. W. Thompson of Brunswick, Ga., The reports of the committees showed the association to be progressing nicely and several resolutions were adopted which will have a tendency to further the good wook. The officers of the association are, Rev. J. W. Thompson, Brunswick, moderator; Rev. N. H. Whitmire, Savannah, vice-moderator; F. C. Daniels, Savannah, clerk; H. R. Grant, Savannah, treasurer. Rev. J. B. Phillips, Rev. I. J. Yancy and L. W. Beasley were appointed auditors. AMONG THE MASONS IN ATLANTA, GA. Atlanta, Ga., July 9—Last night was a great night with the members and friends and visiting masters and past masters of Rising Sun Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. Past master and his craft had a most enjoyable feast. Bro. Williams made his written report of the acts of the grand lodge and it was full and complete in every detail. It was received with applause and a rising vote of thanks to Bro. Williams for his close attention to the sessions of the grand lodge. He paid the grand master many compliments. There were present some ten or fifteen past masters all of whom made short addresses. Followed the feast. In the center of the table was a cake representing the bible which, when opened, showed in blue letters the XII chapter of Ecclesiastes. At each plate was a square cake on which were, in blue, the G., compass and square. It was a great occasion and other lodges should get their members together once and a while and get better acquainted and they would love each other more. TEACHER WANTED A teacher is wanted to teach a public school at Roding, Ga., one who holds state or county license. Write H. H. Mullino, Roding, Ga. NUMBER 44 RESCUES COUSIN FROM DROWNING JOHN ROBERTS, JR., TRIES TO SAVE BROTHER Alston Roberts While Swimming With Chums at Cattle Park was Drowned Last Saturday—Family Outing Ends With Tragie Results. Last Saturday the members of the family of Mr. J. W. Roberts went to Cattle Park to spend the day. An enjoyable time was being had. The boys finally decided to go in swimming. They were having a jolly time as boys generally do, until Alston Roberts and his cousin were seen to be struggling in the 'water. Mr. John Roberts, Jr., who is quite an athlete, went heroically to their rescue. He succeeded in bringing his cousin to safety, but before he could reach his brother he was drowned. Everything possible was done to resuscitate him, but to no avail. The funeral took place Monday afternoon from the Second Baptist Church, the services being conducted by Rev. W B. Davis. The pall bearers were selected from among some of the playmates of the deceased and consisted of Masters James Steele, Lawrence Perry, Willie Whiteman, Robert Sneed, Crahles Rogers, Cornellus Stripling and Clarence Ellison. Young Roberts was thirteen years of age and gave every indication of a promising man. The parents have the sympathy of all of their friends.

A., were given a rare treat in the address of Secretary Thos. Johnson of the white association. In addition to giving the men inspiration by his address, Secretary Johnson gave much encouragement to the promoters of the Colored Y. M. C. A. by his proffered friendship and support of the movement which is now being so well established among us. At night representatives of the association appeared at the Second Baptist church, Rev. W. Bollver Davis, pastor, where a cordial reception awaited them. Pastor Davis referred very complimentary to the movement in the course of his sermon. At the conclusion of the sermon, several members of the association spoke in representation of its work after which a substantial collection was given the association by the church. The association takes this opportunity of expressing its thanks to Dr. Davis and his good people for their cordiality to its members. On tomorrow, the main address will be given by Rev. Robt. Kerr, pastor of Grace Methodist church. All men are invited to be out and on time. The meeting will begin promptly at 5 p. m., at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, West Broad and Maple streets. Fads and Fancies of the Sporting Season The Tennis Costume Takes on Trousers and the Smock Turns into a Sports Coat New York July 21—Many novelties in sports clothes have been introduced in the past few weeks. With the coming of warm weather, the minds of both young and old naturally turn to the great out-of-doors, and Fashion is not slow to take up the cue of the golf ball and tennis racket. Stores have caught the spirit, and sweaters and other sports paraphernalia have taken up their stand. It would seem each store is striving to outdo its neighbor in featuring something distinctly new and surprising in the way of sports apparel. A Trousered Costume for Tennis One house offers a novelty for tennis costume with trousers. Already a number of these have been sold and the suit bids fair to be one of the fads of the summer. The blouse is cut in one, with the trousers like portion of a JO McCALL A Trousesed Cretonne Dress for Tennis bathing suit, with the bloomers longer and left free. The skirt is attached to a wide belt and buttons on separate. The advantage of the suit is obvious. With the trousers made of the same material as the skirt, they are almost invisible when the skirt blows out in the wind, and, aside from this fact, they have a freedom of action which is impossible with petticoats wrapping around the feet. One woman said she was buying a dress to wear around the house. It is easy to understand the comfort of such a costume, especially for house cleaning times, when climbing step-ladders and like occupations are the order of the day. Another woman, who is outfitting girls for camp-life, has offered the costume for every member of the party. She explained that when they were around the camp she intended letting them wear the trousers, like overalls, without the skirts. Bright wall-paper cretomes, also oriental black-and-white patterns are used for these dresses, with collar and cuffs of white Swiss or organly. In the least expensive models, linen and chambray are substituted. It is really surprising how charming the effect is in these materials, with a touch of white in the collar and cuffs. Calico Follows the Craze of Cretonne In many instances, calco takes the place of the cretonnes, which have been so extensively favored for outing apparel. The very oldest of the old-time patterns are revived. The qualit, figured reds our great-grand-mothers wore, the bright daffodil yellow, the crisp blues are all there, as light in weight and cool as ever. These qualities in the calco are an advantage over the cretonnes. In fact, some of the prettiest of the cretonne patterns have been duplicated in the calco that the effect may be gained without the weight. One of the old-time reds is made up in a middy style for a tennis costume. What a contrast the frock will make among the white dresses! A specialty shop is showing a dainty afternoon dress of yellow in peplum style, with parasol to match; and there is an old blue crinoline frock with waist gathered below a yoke, skirt full and white crochet ball-buttons for trimming. Simple as these dresses sound, they are not what would be called inexpensive, unless, perchance, you make them yourself. They are few and far between. At the pretentious homes up the Hudson, at the Casino at Newport—these are places where the calicos are found. Smocked Sports Coats The woman to whom the unusual appeals will welcome these latest novelties. They offer a relief from the ordinary cut-and-dry sweaters; are far more becoming to the average woman, smart and more swagger than their predecessors. A light-weight silk Jersey material is used in the making. This comes in all the brilliant shades, the emerald green, the popular rose shades, the soldat blues, and in black-and-white checker-board and diamond checks. Hand-smocking, in effectively blended coloring, adds a decidedly new touch at the waist and below the voke at the shoulder. There were some charming new models shown on the Avenue the other day, quite eclipsing the cretonne coats, the blazer-triped flannels and the beach coat of tan toweling. One was a soldat blue, bordered in old gold at the front, with cuffs and collar to match; with the smocking done in the same shado of wool. One of rose-red had a Grecian border in blue at the lower edge and was smocked in dark blue, while a brilliant green was combined with white. To all outward appearances, they are the garden smocks, a trifle shorter and belted it is true; but, nevertheless, wit the same qualit air that goes so charmingly with the cretonnes, callcoes and novelty printed pique skirts. Bryn Mawr College Blouses We have the Bryn Mawr College to thank for the sweater-blouses. It was here that the fad originated; the blouses are a cross between a waist and a sweater. They are cut on the lines of the regulation sailor and are made of soft Italian silk. This silk has a high sheen and is somewhat similar in appearance to light weight silk Jersey material. The blouses are about the length of a middy, made with coat closing, at the front and a loose belt or straight sash of the material. They can be worn inside or outside of the skirt, according to fancy, and are finding favor for riding, tennis, golf, and all outdoor sports of the summer. Emerald green is a popular shade. There are also awning stripes, checks and pastel shades shown. ... Rodier's Barred Piques Rodier, the French manufacturer of fabrics, has gone in strong this season for novelty piques. One of the prettiest is a barred effect in bright canary yellow on white, wide wale pique. He has also introduced a trad- McCALL The Sports Smock of Jersey ing stamp design printed in queer green checks, which call to mind the stickers of the stamp book. These materials the American manufacturers are using for sports coats. They fit in well with other fabric fads of the season, giving a sort of futuristic air to the fashions. The designs in which they are made are usually plain, save for an odd-shaped pocket or lap-closing at the front. The Fad of Woolen Stockings First Showings of Felts Already the felt hat is strong in favor for sports wear. The newest models have wide brims and medium high crowns, usually with the brim and crown in contrasting color. Some of the smartest have woolen flowers embroidered on net and appliqued on, others are painted and a few have woolen pompons or silk cords. They are all decidedly smart and brilliant enough in color to complete the gayest of the sports costumes. COMMENCEMENT ECHOES The Commencement Orator By Edgar H. Webster, principal Nor...mal Dept., Atlanta University... I said that I considered the Conference on Race Problems, held in connection with the Southern Sociological Congress in Atlanta, in April 1913, the most significant event in Georgia if not in the south since Lee's surrender at Appomattox. For the first time, perhaps, in all history, representative men of both races sat upon the same floor and spoke from the same platform, in presentation and discussion of the condition in which the two races find themselves here in the South. Perhaps the trend of the conference was expressed by Dr. E. R. Carter, who spoke briefly at the close, somewhat as follows: "I thank God that I have lived to hear Southern white men make admissions that have been made at this conference." Prominent at the conference attending every session, and acting as the secretary of the conference, was Dr. W. D. Weatherford, of Nashville, whose more recent address upon the topic, "Is the Negro Dying Out", at the Fourth Southern Sociological Congress at Houston, Texas. It is well to keep in mind that the members of the conference and the speakers were either clergymen or students, the students being professors in Southern universities and in the department of Sociology. Dr. Weatherford is one of these students. Just how he became interested in Race problems or when his interest began, I do not know. I am going to surmise that he took up the question in his graduate-work at Vanderbilt University, and that the result of his study was preserved in a published volume upon the Negro and his conditions. This volume was used four years ago and perhaps is still used as a text in the Y. M. C. A's of every Southern state university; and of other colleges as well. It is likely that 20,000 students in white colleges and universities, got an insight into the situation of the Negro if the South from the sympathetic and fair statement in the book published by Dr. Weatherford. Recently, because of Dr. Weatherford's published work and his platform utterances, the Atlanta University honored itself and honored him by inviting him upon its board of trustees; and more recently invited him to, be the orator at the last commencement. Personally I dislike to be "tagged". To the last man who called me "Captain" I said, "The previous' fellow called me "Major". If you cannot do as well or perhaps better and call me "General, I will be satisfied with the simple title 'Mister'". One glorious summer I found that I was passing among the uninitiated, not as a teacher but as a drummer, and I rejoiced that with the neciligee of summer the professional tag had somehow dropped off. An so I think that the students of our Atlanta colored schools and for that matter of all the colored schools in the sunny South like to be thought of and addressed as "students" without any tag. And our commencement orator paid us that compliment. Whether Dr. Weatherford did this from intent, or whether he is so accustomed to student audiences, that he recognizes the student upon approach does not matter. Either point of view is creditable to him. Possibly the theme, "The growing recognition of the intrinsic value of the individual" was drawn from the circumstances under which the speaker and his audience found themselves. Yet the oration might have been delivered before any audience, students or other. I listened once to a sermon on the text: "He knoweth the number of the stars. He calleth them all by their names." The thought was, that for each one of the myriads of points of light that bestud the heavens the Divine Mind has a name. The finite mind names a few, Arcturus, Vega; Polaris, grasps other few into contellations, Great Bear, Orion, Pleiades, and then, weary with the effort, dumps all the others into a mental receptacle and calls them all "stars"; and in this act recognizes its own limitation. So of the two and a half or three billions of human beins that makes up the great brotherhood of man, we name a few and group all the rest as Caucasian, Etheoplan, of as Scray, Teuton, Latin, or as English, French, Turkish. Not so with the Infinite. To Him there in neither race, nation, or class. Each is an individual with an individual value. And the purpose of the Divine is, that His point of view shall become the human point of view. I am discussing an orator, and not an oration. Two illustrations, however, from the oration will indicate its movement. First, a certain French nobleman was observed enjoying himself by shooting at his peasants. And whence someone demurred he said: "They are mine. Why shouldn't I shoot them?" The world has not entirely lost that point of view, as witness the six million who last August were men, but now are either dead or permanently mained, or captive. Second, a manufacture in New York is burning on the upper floor, the one stair case and the one elevator are inadequate for safety, and before the fire in quenched fifteen young girls are sacrificed; and the great city rises in its wrath to punish those responsible for the tragedy, and a great state legislates to prevent its repitation. And those girls were not Americans but immigrants, who could not speak English. The significance of Dr. Weatherford's Houston, Texas address, not in what was said—we know the facts—but in the speaker and in the audience. It was Rudy and Kipling who gave us the phrase "The White Man's Burden." The phrase has pleased the South. But Dr. Weatherford says, the Negro is not a burden in the South, but because the southern white controls largely the Negro's activity, he has become "The White Man's Burden."

Brutality at the Bar Cross examination by lawyers is much less severe today than it used to be. Sergeant Ballantine once cross examined the defendant in a civil action in England so fiercely that after a quarter of an hour of the ordeal she fell down flat in the witness box and could not be further questioned. Chief Justice Erle, summing up, described Ballantine's cross examination as "an exhibition of brute force which I have never seen before in a court of justice and hope never to see again."

The Gordian-Knot When one of Uncle Sam's sailors, a man named Gordon, formerly serving on one of the vessels in a West Indian squadron, was taken to the Naval hospital in Washington he described with grewsome vividness to his companions there his adventure with a shark off one of the islands in the West Indies. "I had jest fell over the bulwarks," said the able seaman, "when along comes a big shark an' grabs me by the leg." "What did ye do then, matey?" asked one of the patients. "I never disputes none with sharks," said the sailor. "I let him have the leg." * Most Wonderful Clock. Most, wonderful clock. The most wonderful clock in the world is in St. Petersburg.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Matter. Saturday July 24,th 1915 The recent attack upon the life of Leo Frank, who is a life time inmate at the state prison at Milledgeville, by a fellow prisoner who also is confined there for the remaining days of his life, was a most dastardly deed and should call for a very rigid investigation by the state authorities. Just what prompted Green to attempt to take the life of Frank and how he was allowed, after working hours, possession of the instrument with which he is said to have been killing hogs are not yet satisfactorily explained. The assailant was from the evidence given by a fellow prisoner who has since been, released, a bad man and held human life at a very low price. That Frank escaped with his life is a miracle and the sympathies of all law-abiding citizens are with him. He was a charge of the state and as such, regardless of the heinous crime which he committed and the opposition which thousands of the citizens of the state may have had toward ex-governor Slaton's commutation of his sentence from death to life imprisonment, was entitled to all the protection which the prison authorities could give him. Whether Green of his own volition perpetrated the cowardly deed in which he cut Frank's throat while asleep on his cot, or whether there were others with whom the assailant was working and for whom he acted as an agent of death is unknown, but should be determined by the prison commission as speedily as possible. If the act was committed through the neglect of those whose duty it was to guard the prisoners from harm or from such fights between them as the one which occurred there yesterday in which another prisoner almost lost his life by receiving serious knife stabs, then those guilty of neglect of duty should be disposed of and men put in their places who will see to it that the state prison is at least a reasonably safe place for the abode of prisoners. Of unusual interest was the news item in both of the local daily papers last week in which it was threatened that warrants would be taken out for certain ones of the Negro members of the uniform rank Knights of Pythias, because they wore uniforms similar to those of the national guards. The article also stated that several of the wearers of these uniforms among the Knights were seen to be intoxicated on the streets. We do not know exactly how near similar the uniforms as worn by the Knights are to those worn by the national guards, but we do know that the objection to the wearing of these uniforms was the result of a little, petty mind and was made with no good intent to the great bulk of Negroes who are members of this branch of the Knights of Pythias. To say that there was fear of Negroes disgracing the uniform worn by the national guard, even if one or two men were seen intoxicated in them, is certainly showing a prejudiced mind for the sight of a man in uniform, who is under the influence of liquor, is by no means an unusual sight. The great surprise is when so many men of all walks of life are assembled together for two or three days such as were the Negro Knights during their stay here last week, that more of them do not forget themselves in indulging too freely in intoxicating beverages. But to the credit of the Knights it may be said without fear of contradiction by anyone who was around them for any length of time or saw them much while here, that they were an extremely orderly set of men and commanded the respect and commendation of all fair-minded persons. They made an exceptionally fine military showing and it may that the excellence of their appearance, the unusually big demonstration to which they treated the city ruffled the feelings of some of our citizens and the only point of criticism they could think of was the similarity of their uniform to those of the national guards. The state senate seems to have reversed its record for conservatism. The bill rushed thru that body prohibiting white teachers teaching Negroes, and against Negro teachers for whites, is the most silly bit of legislation ever passed by that body. Just to think of Negroes teaching white folks in Georgia! the measure is a reflection upon the white people as well as the Negro people of our state. That the bill, if passed by the lower house and approved by the governor, would be finally declared unconstitutional does not admit of the slightest doubt. However, the very fact that such a pernicious measure could pass the senate is indicative of the fact that the state still has some white citizens who live in the past and are not all jealous of the good name and good sense of our citizens. But, after all, we must continue to develop statesmen and stateman. I, immediately following the emancipation of the Negroes, the white people of the South had listened to reason and had treated their former slaves with some consideration and fairness, many of the problems that have confronted this section and which still confront us, may have been solved. There was at that time, notwithstanding the infernal ravage of slavery; notwithstanding we were so much chattel and, in most instances, subjected to harder treatment than were the animals, brutes, if you please, yet, when the bond that made the one master, the other slave was broken, the Negro showed himself the superior in the disposition to be on friendly relations with his former masters and remained among them and served them, while at the same time exercising his rights as an American citizen. Instead of meeting him in this spirit, a certain element, the controlling element in the Southland, subjected him to every conceivable inconvenience and persecution, even unto death at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan and kindred organizations. In this extremity a helping hand from other and more conservative sections of the country was extended the Negro, and, being human, he grasped it. Thus began the breach which was exploited to the disadvantage of the Negro and the shame of our country. These things are being gradually overcome and the relations between the peoples have grown better. Already the best white people of the South are active in opposition to the bill, and here in this city they are recording their protest in a mammoth petition which will be presented to the legislature. Georgia has only recently been held up to the ridicule and scorn of the outside world, and it is hoped that her good name may not be further disgraced by the passage of this mischievous measure. Not the Assistant Some time ago it was stated in this correspondence that it had been learned that Prof. Tutt, teacher of mathematics in the Haines Institute of this city, had been made assistant principal. There has been handed me a letter addressed to another, wao, it was supposed conducts this correspondence, from Miss Lucy C. Laney, the principal, in which she stated Prof. Tutt has not been made assistant. For cause, it must be stated that the information relative to our first note did not come to us from Miss Laney. It was a matter of common talk in public and private places, by school children and school teachers as well. The note was harmless and complimentary, both to Prof. Tutt and the school, and we cannot understand why any person of ordinary common sense should have annoyed the principal about it. Prof. Tutt is already a member of the faculty and reflects credit upon the school. Selfishness is a great evil. Better fight the school bill in a straightforward way and not lug in the thought of white teachers for Negro public schools. Georgia Crackers need no such suggestion. See the point? The bishops of the C. M. E. Church are in a wordy war with some of their presiding elders who took vigorous exceptions to the strictures contained in a deliverance made by the bishops. One of these bishops threatened his presiding elder and lectured the editor of the Christian Index for permitting said presiding elder to talk back through his columns. Whereupon Editor Hamlett informed the bishop that he was elected by the general conference and that he would not discriminate against people simply because they held and expressed views different to those held by the bishop. Our hat is off to Editor Hamlett! The balance carried by the Knights of Pythlans in round figures equals $71,000.00. The best record in the history of the Order in Georgia. Grand Chancellor Hutto has exceeded the most sanguine expectation of his friends and supporters. He "beat the record." Miss Bertha E. Gilbert, one of our public school teachers who suffered serious injuries from a fall several weeks ago, is rapidly recovering to the delight of her many friends. - The "Deestrick Skulé" The "Deestrick Skule", one of the most popular of our charitable organizations, will enjoy their annual picnic on the Ross plantation near Westover, about 5 miles from the city, on the 28th inst. Among the features will be an old fashion barbecue, and those who have been so fortunate as to receive an invitation anticipate the most enjoyable day of the season. The membership of this club is limited to twenty members and six associate members. This Club has in the past done a great deal of charity work including helping the aged and infirmed. They have materially aided the Shiloh Orphanage and have recently had a fine wire fence placed around the premises. Mrs. A. W. Wimberly is now and has been its president since its organization, covering a period of several years. Mr. Jerome Trotty is vice-president, Mrs. Carrie Ryans, secretary; Mrs. Ella Wray, treasurer; and Mr. Thomas D. Ryans, general manager. Among the other prominent members may be mentioned, Mesdames Mary Hudson, Annie Williams, Emma Lou Battey, Georgia Tolbert, Mary Belle Wilborn, Carrie Battle, Marie Wallice, Maria Berren, Jennie Bennett, Susie Trotty, Mrs. J. T. Norflett; Miss Essie Morrison, Dr. and Mrs. C. S. Carr; Messrs W. C. Pritchard, Byron Ryans, A. O. Bennett, A. B. Berrien. The club has collected and distributed several hundred dollars in charity. In prosecution of its work the club has rendered successfully several plays, and I learn they contemplate putting on another one in the near future. To this Augustans will look forward with happy anticipations, as the plays given by this club are high class and get the audiences. Mrs. Georgia Brooks, of Atlanta, was in the city last week to attend the funeral of her mother, Mrs Maria Lewis, which took place at Thankful Baptist Church on Thursday of last week. Rev. D. J. Flyn, field secretary of the American Missionary Association covering the Carolinas and Georgia, spent last week in the city assisting Rev. E. E. Lightner, pastor, and the Congregational church people. He left Tuesday for Columbia and points in South Carolina. Rev. Bonner and his people are to pull off a big financial rally at Old Trinity C. M. E. Church Sunday. The entire membership has been divided into conferences, general and district, with presiding elders and pastors. Rev. Chenning H. Tobias is the bishop for the occasion, and great results are looked for. We are in the midst of the usual picnic epidemic, and as usual, the full roads and steamers are reaping a financial harvest out of our people. It is said that Dr. G. N. Stoney is the oldest pythian in point of membership in Georgia, and now the "boys" refer to him as "father Stoney". The doctor is also the oldest Ngro physician in the city. We don't mean, in age, but in length of practice. An Elopement There was an elopement pulled off in this city last Sunday, and Rev. G. W. Harrison, at his home on 12th street, tied the nuptial knot. The contracting parties were the pretty Miss Annie Lee West, sister of Mrs. J. A. Nabrit, and Mr. J. A. Woodson. Both are popular and their wide circle of admiring friends are extending congratulations. A mammoth petition has been signed by our people protesting against the passage in the legislature of the bill already passed by the Georgia State senate against white people teaching Negroes and Negroes teaching white people. "Where are we at?" Last Sunday was a big day at Spirit Creek Baptist Church, seven miles from Augusta. The occasion was the church's anniversary, and the crowds went down by train and in every kind of vehicle. Nearly all the members of this church live in and about Augusta but retain their membership at the old spot where they "first saw the light". Rev. Sciplo Johnson, father of Dr. S. S. Johnson, with several others, were ordained to the ministry. Miss Hattle Harper, the talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James S. Harper, a recent graduate of Howard University, Washington, D. C., has returned home, to the delight of her parents and friends. Recently Miss Hattle was one of the mails at the Mayer-Cook nuptials at Washington. Friends of the family deeply sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Battey in the serious illness of their son, Rogers, who is ill with typhoid fever, and hope for the manly little fellow's restoration to health. The State Baptist Sunday School convention is in annual session at Thank- MONEY TALKS CURRENCY ONE DOLLAR UNITED STATES Mr. Tom Williams is seriously ill at his home on Gwinnett street, and his relatives and friends as well as his immediate family are anxious about his condition.

He has practiced in this city for a long period of years and thru ability and attention to his patients has earned a fortune. He has a plenty of this world's goods and is as unpretentious as a school boy. As a surgeon he has performed many difficult operations successfully Years ago, seeing the need of a hospital where our sick and injured could be carried and looked after by our own physicians, he erected at 9th and Gwinnett streets an up-to-date sanitarium thoroughly equipped with the latest improved devices. In addition there is a nurse training department which has graduated some of the most successful nurses the city has had. The undertaking has succeeded beyond the doctor's expectations, and now I learn 8 or 10 additional rooms are to be added, these being made necessary by the increase of business. This sanitarium is made doubly necessary by reason of the fact the Lamar (Negro) hospital has been merged in the University hospital, where Negro physicians and surgeons are not allowed to operate. As a matter of fact our physicians were not permitted to operate at this hospital prior to its removal. But for the foresight and progressiveness of Dr. Burruss our people would to-day be virtuously without proper hospital accommodations, and the Negroes of the city owe him a debt of gratitude.

AUGUSTA IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance, of our dear husband and father, HARRY H. AIKEN, Who departed this life July 19th, 1914. It is hard to break the tender chords, Where love has bound the heart; It is hard, so hard, to speak the word, "We must forever part." To-day my troubled heart is sad, My eyes are dimmed with tears; For God has taken my husband, I thought was mine for years. Dear Harry, thou art gone but not forgotten, Nor ever wilt thou be; For as long as life, lasts, I shall always remember thee. His devoted wife and children, Mrs. F. E. Aiken, wife Mrs. Maggie Heyward, daughter, Alonzo Aiken, Homer Aiken, sons JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER started business with $1,000 and has made tens of millions of dollars. The great opportunity knocks but once at every man's door. Are you ready to seize your opportunity if it comes to-day? Have you a $1,000 that you can use! RESOLUTION Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our ranks our esteemed co-laborer, Sister Rosa Charlton whose sweet voice in song our choir was thoroughly appreciated and Whereas, her devotion to duty and the excellence of the service, she has rendered the choir of the Second Baptist Church make a gap hard to fill and whereas her early demise is greatly felt by us, therefore, Be it Resolved, That we bow in humble submission to the will of Him whose knowledge passeth human understanding, consoling ourselves with the fact that as she has gone from the comradeship of this earthly choir to the enchanting angelic chorus. Her life of service we shall strive to emulate and be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, a copy be spread upon our minutes and a copy be printed in The Savannah Tribune. Respectfully, James A. Monroe, Director Miss Romenia Gaillard, Sect'y Brother W. H. Burgess, Pres. The grim Monster among our midst has made his usual call. And by his sythe—Rosa Charlton has been made to fall. His work requires Him to call at each and every door. He has no choice we all must pay the debt both high and low. Chorus Rosa dear, we'll meet you there, and dwell with you on high. There'll be no parting of us by and by; We'll follow your example so to reach our future home.

WE DO JOB PRINTING Oysters. When in their natural condition oysters contain from one-eighth to one-fifth more nutritive material than when fattened. Speaking roughly, a quart of oysters contains on an average about the same quantity of actual nutritive substance as a quart of milk, or three-fourths of a pound of beef, or two pounds of fresh codfish, or a pound of bread. Oysters come nearer to milk than almost any other common food material as regards both the amounts and the relative proportions of nutrients. - An Unconscious Toast. Lord Clyde one day after dinner asked a chaplain to one of the regiments in India for a toast, who, after considering some time, at length exclaimed with great simplicity: "Alas and alack a day! What can I give?" "Nothing better," replied his lordship. "Come, gentlemen; we'll give a bumper to the parson's toast, 'A lace and a lac a day.'" A lac means 100,000 rupees, or $25,000, which is certainly an income to make one happy.—London Chronicle. How They Laughed Travelers have noticed how the laughter of the different nations varies. The Italian laugh is languid, but musical; the Germans laugh in a deliberate fashion, the French are spasmodic and uncertain, the upper class English guarded and not always genuine, the lower class English explosive, the Scottish of all classes hearty and the Irish rolllicking. The Chinese laugh is not so expressive as the European. It is usually a titter rather than a genuine outburst of merriment. West minister Gazette. Making R Last. A young man was lately leaving his uncle's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was nugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall! I've had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it shouldn't be wetted now!"—London Press. Double Punishment Punishment for giving short weight is far from new, and the Turks long ago took drastic measures to check this tendency on the part of tradesmen. The Sultan Achmet IL, walking through the streets of Stamboul, saw at the door of a baker's shop the owner, his hands tied behind him, with one ear nailed to a post. Upon inquiry he was told the cause of the poor fellow's predicament. "Who is he?" asked the sultan. "May it please your highness," was the reply, "he supplies the bread for the imperial seraglio." "Ah, my baker? Then set up another post and nail his other ear to it. The sultan's baker should have a double reason for honesty." Dancing on Telsum Powder: Dancing on Talcum Powder. It has been found by experiment that the best dancing floor is made as follows: Upon the ordinary floor a sheet of rubber half an-inch thick is spread; a certain smooth surfaced linoleum is held ever this, and talcum powder is sprinkled upon it every day. The highly polished waxed wood floors of a few years ago are too slippery for the modern dances. The shoemakers soon learned this and introduced pumps with pads of rubber inserted in the sores—New York World. TAKE PAINS-IT PAYS. If there is one rule above another which I wish to impress on those who are starting out in life, it is this—take pains. Whatever you do, do thoroughly. Whatever you begin, finish. It may not seem worth your while at the moment to be so very painstaking and exact. In after years you find it was worth your while, that it has paid you by giving you success in life, by giving you the trust and respect of others.—Charles Kingsley.

W: Manns During the closing days of his earthly ministry, the Saviour gathered the disciples about Him and spoke to them words of comfort that they might not be discouraged after He was taken from them. He said "If I go, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also." John 14:13. He spent thirty-three years on earth as a man among men, finished His work; and ascended into heaven. Since He has gone to heaven we have the authority of His word that He will return. This is called His second coming in Heb., 9:28. We have not only the statement of the Saviour himself while on earth, but also evidence that the prophets of old looked forward to this event, Jude 14, and that He will come Himself in person. I Thess. 4:16. How will He come? Is it at death? Is it at conversation? What does the Bible teach us on this point? In the last interview with the disciples on the mount, while conversing with them, He was taken from their mist and a cloud received Him out of their sight. While they stood gazing heavenward two men (angels) in white apparel stood by them, which said, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing into heaven? This same Jesus which is taken from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven" Acts 1:9-11. God revealed the scene of His second coming to the prophet John as recorded in Rev. 1:7: "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him." From this it is clear that is is no secret thing, but takes place openly, publicly, and will be seen by men throut out the world. The Saviour Himself in speaking of this event said, "As the lightning comets out of the east and shineth unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be." Hence, it is plain that if any say He is in the secret place, or in any particular locality, we may know from these words of the Saviour that it is not true. Now, in regard to the clouds, it said: "Behold. He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him." These clouds are not mere vapory clouds as seen in the sky, but clouds of angels, for Jesus said that at that time He would come in His holy glory, and in His Father's glory, and in the glory of all the holy angels. This will be a scene unparalleled in the pageant of kings in this world. The triumphs of earthly kings, their magnificence and grandeur pale into insignificance before this scene of heavenly glory. Titus, in the second chapter, the thirteenth, verse, calls it the glorious appearing, the blessed hope, and it is the Christian's hope, the grand consummation of the hopes and desires of all nations. The splendor of a single angel is recorded in Matt 27:14. It was so great that it caused the earth to quake and the rocks to rend and the Roman guards to fall to the earth as dead men. What then must be the glory of the Son, and of the Father? Jesus, the Saviour, does not make this grand display merely to impress men of His grandure, for outward show but He comes for a definite purpose. The bible teaches that this purpose is to give regard to His servants and to those who fear His name, small and great, and to punish the wicked. This is the harvest of the earth. Matthew 13: Rev. 14. That is the time when the Lord Himself descends from the heavens, with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ rise from the grave and are caught up together with the living righteous to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Thus He comes in splendor to garner, the wheat and burn the fares. When the Lord shall be revealed from heaven, with His angels, then it is, that He, in flaming fire, takes vengeance on them that know not God and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; then it is that the wicked are consumed with the spirit of His Mouth and destroyed by the brightness of His coming. Isaiah speaks of the righteous in that day as looking toward the cloud as it approaches, their voice in solemn joy as they exclaim: "Le, this is our God. We have waited for Him, and He will save us. We have waited for Him, and we will rejoice and be glad in His salvation." This is the culmination of fruition of their hopes and desires. He comes as one altogether lovely, as the king of all kings. On the other hand, wicked men, whose hearts never have been softened by the gospel, who have neglected the invitation of mercy, and lived godless lives here on the earth beneath, experience a sense of awful gloom, and cry out to the rocks and mountains to fall on them and hide them from the face of Him who sitteth on the clouds. To them that is one of darkness and gloom, according to Zephaniah 1:14—a day when the rich man will throw his riches to the moles and the bats, and when the mighty men will cry very bitterly. From these scriptures it is clearly seen that Jesus is coming in person to the earth the second time; that all the inhabitants of the earth will see Him as clearly as the sun at noon on a clear day; that He will come with all the angels to reward the righteous and punish the wicked; that it will be a scene of rejoicing to the former and one of inexpressible sadness and horror to the latter. It then will be too late for any one to make a change in his life. Character is the thing that is to stand the test of His appearing: Now is our time to build a character that will endure the searching gaze of the King when He comes in His glory So it is of utmost importance that men thoroly seek Him while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near, and thus make full provision to meet Him with joy and peace. To-day is the day of salvation. Harden not your hearts as in the days of provocation. This is the heavenly message to the city of Savannah, Ga., to-day. The bible plainly indicates that the generation now living, the generation that is already far spent, will witness this glorious scene. How essential that every one be prepared to meet Him in peace, that he may receive eternal life. Momentary delay, to prepare for His coming, may involve eternal ruin. Prompt attention to your personal salvation will insure eternal life in Eden restored. --- All the Bank's Fault. Mrs. Barrows was worried. That fact was evident to her husband, although she endeavored to maintain a cheerful manner. Before the evening meal was over, however, he discovered the cause of her anxiety. "Will," said she, "I am very much afraid that my bank is in a bad way." "How foolish, Mabel! Don't let that cause you a moment's worry. Why, it's one of the strongest financial institutions in the state. Whatever got that idea into your head?" "Well, it's very strange," replied Mrs. Barrows, still unconvinced. "They've just returned a check of mine for $40 marked 'No funds.'"—Harper's Magazine. An Ornament to Paris The Place de la Concorde in Paris is one of the most beautiful places of its kind in the world. It was not until 1783 that the grounds were first adorned by the erection of an equestrian statue of Louis XV, and Gabriel, the architect, constructed the balustrades and pavilions that are seen today. The present design, however, was made by Hittorff in 1854. In 1792 the statue of the king was removed by the populace, and the square became known as the Place de la Revolution. During the bloody period the guillotine was placed here, and Louis XVI was executed on Jan. 21, 1793, and in the following October the unfortunate Marie Antoinette shared a like fate. DEFEAT. Defeat is sometimes a really valuable experience. To win all the time does not make for development of character. The real test comes in defeat. Then if a man can come back he shows his true worth.—William Howard Taft. DOING ONE THING WELL There is a great deal in being able to do one thing thoroughly well. Thoroughness in one line of work usually gives that training and power of initiative which enable one to do "almost anything" else that may be required of him. It is to the busy men we go for the extra task which is everybody's business and nobody's. But be sure that the people who can really do "almost anything" are those who first learned to do one thing thoroughly well—Louis Stickney. Foxy Fox. Mrs. Fox—Great news, John.

Lesson IV.—Third Quarter, For July 25, 1915. 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 xxil, 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, 20). 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 build 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. xxv, 2; xxxv, 20; I Chron. xxix, 3, 9, 17). Christ gave Himself willingly for us (Heb. x, 5-9; John vi, 38). We must be willing offerings, keeping nothing back. Remember the only foundation (I 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 tibernacle 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. ill. 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 vi. 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 vii. 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" (xxiiii). He also praised God for fulfilling His word to David and asked Him to continue to do so (verses 24, 20). Then he asked the Lord that His eyes might be open night and day toward the house he had builted 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, 36, 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. xv1, 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 Hezeklah (Josh. iv, 24; I Sam. xv1, 46; II Kings xix, 19), 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 world of all His good promise, which He promised by the hand of Moses, His servant" (verse 56). So also is it written in Josh. xxl, 45; xxlli, 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. Well Acquainted. Maurice and Mildred were visiting their grandmother when they became 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?"

We saw in a previous Iésson that Solomon's wisdom escgtled all the wis: dom of tne east and 6f Egypt und that people came from alb theearth to hear his‘wisdom (1 Kings {y,29(30,34; IL Chron, ix, 23). Mis writings are men- tioned in I Kings iv, 32, 23. The. Song of Solomon was probably written in the joy of his first love to the Lord in his younger days whén he first became King. Proverbs reads like fils more mature experience, while Ecclesiastés is the sad fetrospect of his great folly and sin after he had turned away, from the Lord, for his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God (1 Kings si, 4, 6). Although he was beloved of his God and among many nations there was no king like him, uevertheless even him did strange women cause to sin (Neb. Stil, 26), Aft- er the dedication of the temple the Lord appeared to him the second time and assured him that His eyes and His heart would be perpetually upon that house because His name was there @ Kings is, 1-14)? What 2 precious as- Surance for all the redeemed to ap- propriate, for what was true of a building is surely true of those who thre temples of the Holy Spirit. He and his people were warned, bawever, that if they forsook the Lord He would make them a proverb and a byword among all people (1 Kings ix, 6, 7). So We are warned that if the salt loses its savor it is good for nothing but to be trampled under foot of man. The les. son of today, with the parallel. record in 11 Chron. tx, shows how it might have been if Solomon had continued faithfal and how it will be when a greater than Solomon shall sit on Da- vid’s throne and the glory of the Lord upon Israel shall draw all nations. ‘They shall come frum Sheba, bringing gold and incense, and shall shew forth the praises of the Lord, and the wealth of the nations shall be brought to Is- rael when the Mighty One of Jacob shalt be their Lord and Saviour (Isa, ks, 1-3, 6, 11. 16). 7 The queen of Sheba heard of tlie ‘tame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord; therefore some one must hare told, We know of a grenter than Solomon and of a greater glory than he ever had, which our Lord and Sariour wants to share With all who are willing to receive Him and follow Hin, bat so few think it worth while to tell these gobd news that two-thirds of the people on the earth never heard yet. When the queen heard she came to see for herself if the report was true. She came with a great retinue and with camels, bearing spices and gold and precious stones. Suth an abundance ef spices never came to Jerusalem before. and she gave to Sol- omon 120 talents of gold, which, at $25,000 a, talent, Would be about $3,- 000,000. See verses 2 and 10. According to verse 14, Solomon was in the habit of receiving G6 talents of gold yearly. That would be over $16,000.000 in gold alone. So we do not wonder that silver was as stones and nothing accounted of (verses 21, 27), The queen had many hard ques- tions to ask Solomon, but he told her all. There was nothing hid from him that he could not tell her. And when she heard his wisdom and saw his buifiings and bis home and bis serv- ants there was no more spirit in ber, and she had to acknowledge that. while before she came shv.did not be- lieve all that she heard, now she bad to confess that bis wisdom and pros- perity exceeded all that she had heard and the half’ had not been told her (verses 4-7. It reminds us of Isa Ixiv, 4; I Cor, if, 9, where we read that the things which God bath prepared for His redeemed exceed all. The-Spirit has indeed told us some- what, but we are slow to receive it. nnd we are not like the apostles, who said. “We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard (Acts iv, 20). If the queen of Sheba carried back to Arabia with her a saving cnowledge of the Lord God of Israel then her visit was to some purpose. but if it was only to see und admire ind Wonder and gire and receive gifts verses $10, 13) then it was a mere vassing affair and great only to hu- nan sight. From yerse 10 we might onclude that she had learned to know he true God and can only hope that t was eren so. From Isa. xxxix we earn that the Rieter from Babylon lid not learn fronl Hezekiah of the tue God, the God of Israel, but only aw Hezekiah’s greatness and his pre- fous things.

A SPECIAL FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE GENERAL MISSIONARY BAPTIST CONVEN-TION OF GEORGIA To the Baptist Family of Georgia, Greetings: Through the kindness of the Négro papers of this state whose kindness I hereby acknowledge with thanks, I am addressing you this, my first message. In our convention in Macon last June, we proved to the world that we are able to accomplish a really great thing—the uniting of two great Baptist conventions. This accomplishment places quarterly, upon our shoulders, the burden of providing, that we can so organize, systematize and re-adjust our forces that our convention will be one of the greatest powers for good in this country. This is our next task, and we are going to accomplish it with credit. To insure success, I most earnestly appeal to the Baptist ministers to follow the direction of and work in harmony with those who have been placed at the head of the denomination's work. Numbering the Baptist Family Numbering the Baptist Family As Moses numbered the Children of Israel, so must we number the Baptist family of Georgia. We must have the names of all the Baptists in Georgia, on record at the Baptist Headquarters, 204 Odd Fellows Building, Atlanta, Ga. Rev. D. D. Crawford, D. D., our corresponding Secretary, will send each church in the state, blanks on which these names should be written, and returned to him at the headquarters. And we want every Baptist who loves his denomination to send twenty-five cents along with his name to Dr. Crawford. This money will be used to promote our educational, missionary, and reformatory work. If, however, any Baptist is not able to send twenty-five cents, let him be sure to send his name without the amount. But surely there are few who will fail to go on record as having not sent in the desired amount. Our Ten Thousand Dollar Rally In November In our first meeting which will be held with the Wheat Street Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga., Rev. P. James Bryant, D. D., pastor, next November, we must raise ten thousand dollars. How shall we raise this amount? Let the pastors send in the names of their members as above requested with 25 cents. Second, let each association of fifty churches and above send up one hundred dollars and upward; let each association of thirty churches to fifty send thirty dollars; and let all having less than twenty churches send up from ten to twenty-five dollars, according to their strength. Third, let each member of the denomination whom the Lord has blessed above the average member of the church volunteer to help bear the burdens of his weaker brother by making a contribution to the fund according as the Lord has prophesed him. All who make such contributions will be given personal credit for his gift and his name will be enrolled in the list of Loyal Burden Bearers. The Corresponding Secretary will give further instructions upon the subject. If this course is followed, we shall have every cent of the ten thousand dollars wanted. Our Baptist Headquarters Credit to Whom Credit is Due Credit to Whom Credit is Due It shall be the policy of this administration to give due credit to every member of the denomination for what that member does. Merit alone counts with us. A man will be counted big or little according as he shall do big or little things for the Master with the means at his disposal. As far as possible, we shall keep a fair record of every minister in our denomination and the denomination shall be able to tell by the records who are bearing the burdens of the Baptist family of Georgia. I am sure that when the brethren know that they will get due credit for what they accomplish, they will more readily put their shoulders to the wheel and do their duty. To Our Auxiliaries We are expecting that every organized band of the Baptists, of whatever nature, that has for its object the spread of the kingdom to join in this movement to re-establish the work of our beloved denomination and bring back to it the prestige and self respect that it deserves. And more especially do we look to our women to stand hard by us in our effort to take our rightful place among the denominations of the country. Again urging the unstinted support of every Baptist in the state, and urging that any Baptist feel free to offer any suggestion he wishes, with assurance that if such suggestions are not always acted upon, they will have careful consideration by me. I am for God, and the Baptists of Georgia M. W. REDDICK. Pres., G. M. C. of Ga. Americus Institute, Americus, Ga. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER By J. C. Lindsay As will be seen form the weekly letter of the local branch of the National Negro Business League, no attempt has ever been made at any time to inflict upon the reading public any ideas entertained by its members which relate in any respect to social, religious or political affiliations, be they fraternal or otherwise. The aim of its letter has been to appeal to the highest racial sentiment of our people and to help see the importance of cooperating with the other in making this community the very best for Negroes to live in to be found anywhere. In other words, it has striven to keep before the reading public the business side of the Negro Savannahans and urge on and to encourage those men and women who are striving with might and main to bring the Negroes in this community into their own. Negroes Have Large Accounts In this city, it is said by those who are in a position to know, that Negroes have more money hoarded away in white banks than in any other city in the South. A certain official of one of the largest white banks south of Baltimore said, to an aggregation of Negro Business men, that he (the white official) had taken the time to go thrue he records of a certain bank to-day, and found, to his great surprise, that twenty-two hundred of our people had on deposit in the Savings department, sums of money ranging all the way from small amounts to amounts ranging into the thousands. Mind you, he did not speak of the open accounts carried in this one white bank by our people, but he referred only to the deposits carried by our people in the savings department. But, this proposition does not stop here, it goes further. In this city there are more than a dozen high class white banks which do not refuse Negro deposits, notwithstanding the fact at some of them the black man may be somewhat Jim-crowed. Now, if one white bank alone can boast of twenty-two hundred Negro depositors in the savings department, does it not stand to reason that all the others combined have that many or more? The attention of the reading public is not called to those conditions with a desire to appear pessimistic or have it understood that the Negro Business League desires to go on record as having a quarrel for non-support to Negro enterprises, but on the other hand, it desires to impress the people in this community with the importance of giving every Negro business enterprise an opportunity to prove to the world that it is worthy of existence. Come, Lets Reason Together No Kick'.Coming The Negro business men in this community are not kickers neither do they give time or space to the chronic growler and calamity howler. The two pests are shunned and evaded by the men in this community who bring things to pass just the same as the good house wife would keep the doors and windows screened against the pestiferous mosquito or the germ and disease carrying house-fly. Men who are buoy with mind and matter haven't the time to stand on the corner and listened to some long tale of woe about what John Smith's grand daddy did to "calamity howler's" grand dady seventy-three years ago.

Alice and West Broad streets, Wage Earners bank building, and bring a friend with you and hear a fine business subject discussed.

Now that New York's four law schools are graduating hundreds of pupils annually, it is interesting to recall the time when New York had no law school and a local newspaper could say, "It is strange if a series of law lectures in so large a city as New York would not, pay." This, was printed in June, 1853, in an item which began, "Mr. George H. Moore stated at the late alumni dinner of New York university that a law department of that institution was really created, and its professors really delivered their inaugural addresses." Benjamin F.

"The little crab found in the oyster," said a dealer, "is not, as supposed by two-thirds of the oyster eaten, the young of the blue crab, but is a distinct species. It is a mesmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being, therefore, a benefit instead of a detriment to the latter. In return for the oyster's kindness in protecting it against its enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which in its entire state could not be taken by the oyster. A singular thing in connection with them is that all found inside of the oyster are females. The male of the same variety has a hard shell."-Exchange. THE ADVANCE Foolacap.
