The DECISION OF SUB-COMMITTEE OF ODD FELLOWS ON GEORGIA AFFAIRS THREE DAYS TAKEN UP WITH GEORGIA AFFAIRS Households Separated Industrial Farm Must Be Discontinued —Deputies and Supervisors Go— Cannot Send Representative to Hold Grand Lodge. More than three days' time was consumed in the consideration of causes coming up from the jurisdiction of District Grand Lodge No. 18 (Georgii). Georgia Cases Many complaints were filed from various parts of the jurisdiction, principally against certain acts of alleged malfeasance and misfeasance on the part of the district grand secretary and the district executive committee. Brother A, Graves, of Atlanta Lodge No. 5465, presented arguments against the defendant and former Deputy Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson appeared as attorney for them. Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, of Savannah, and Brother L. L. Edwards, of Three Links Lodge No. 5674, Waycross, Ga.,ably supported Bro. Graves in his content against what they termed "tyrannical mismanagement" by the officials of District Grand Lodge No. 18. Former Grand Treasurer B. J. Davis was the constant advisor of Attorney Johnson in his contentions in favor of the defendants. Bro. Graves set forth in detail the organization and operation of the so-called "Industrial Commission project". The opinion and judgment of the Sub-Committee of Management in the matter are as follows: matter. " (In re the petition of various lodges and members of the Order in Georgia. Onlinen by the Board.) "At the monthly Board meeting of the Sub-Committee of Management a rule was entered upon the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 1S and all parties concerned to show cause why it and they should not be directed and ordered by the Sub-Committee of Management to desist and refrain from further paying out or using the funds of the district grand lodge or the bureau of endowment thereof in support of an Industrial Commission or project as it might deem meet, and the occasion require. To this rule an answer was filed and the matter is now before this board for determination. for determination. "In a district grand lodge 'is vested the power of government and superintendence of the subordinate lodges within its jurisdiction in accordance with the Grand Laws, etc.' (Section 5, District Grand Lodge Laws and Constitution). "A district grand lodge is a creature of the District Grand Lodge Laws and Constitution, 'having no inherent powers or authority.' (Lattimore against Armstrong, Vol 1, page 2S0, Sub-Committee of Management Decision). "When one desires to ascertain the rights and powers of a district grand lodge he must look to its grant of authority from the Sub-Committee of Management. "District lodges were created, originally solely for the purpose of superintending subordinate lodges. It had no sick to care for and no dead to bury. In a way it was the hand through which the Sub-Committee of Management sought to regulate and control lodges of the Order and there was no occasion for a fund or the raising of revenue, save to defray the expenses to superintending the lodges and exceeding the Order. spreading the "By an amendment to the General Law, district lodges were authorized under certain conditions and regulations to inaugurate and operate an endowment department, when its plans for so doing were duly adopted by two-thirds vote of the lodges and approved by the Sub-Committee of Management. Before the passage of this General Law, no one would have suggested that there was power in a district grand lodge to operate an endowment. "The above quoted amendment is the only addition to the powers of a district grand lodge originally granted. "It would be folly to contend that the power to operate an endowment system carries with it the power to run a farm, embark in general business or an industrial enterprise. It matters not that it is laudable to seek in all the affairs of life to aid mankind.

She was one of the original members of the Household of Ruth in the state and served the order with much distinction. She is still one of its most prominent members.

NUMBER 45 HIS BODY WAS DRAGGED THRU STREETS BY CROWD 160 Prisoners Killed Mob Composed Mainly of Relatives of Those who Had Been Executed President was Taken from French Legation. Part au Prince, July 2S—A mob of infuriated Haltens today removed Vitbrum Gulliume, President of Haiti, from the French legation, where he took refuge yesterday, and shot him to death in front of the building Massacred in Prison The shooting occurred immediately after the burial of the 160 political prisoners who were massacred in prison yesterday morning at the time of the revolutionary outbreak against President Gulillume. The mob was composed in a very large part of relatives of the victims. M. Girard, the French minister to Haliti, protested vigorously, but was powerless. Is Shot to Death Guilliume was dragged from the protection of the legation. Once in the street the crowd surged around him with imprecations and he was promptly shot to death. · Even then the anger of the people was not appeased. The body of the president was mutilated and dragged through the streets at the end of a rope. Fear More Violence Arrival of the American cruiser Washington with Rear Admiral Caperton is expected at any moment, M. Girard was counting on the coming of a cruiser to afford protection to the legation.

Several members were received by the league. Wash Frocks Have Their Day Plainer in Design and More Elaborate In material with Accessories an Accomplished Fact in Smartness VOILE OF ALL POPULAR FABRIC New York, July 2S—Wash frocks are not what they used to be. Indeed, you have to rub your eyes twice to believe such altogether smart garments were ever intended to touch the water The nets, the volles, the Swisses, and even the linens, have that mysterious something called chile in their make up that gives them entree wherever the one piece silk dress may go. Skirts Overlap Waists and Vice Versa The treatment of the waistline is one of the most important features of the frocks that the big stores are showing us. Invariably, the skirt comes up and finishes with a heading at the girdle, or the waist extends into a peplum and covers the skirt. This overlapping of waist and skirt offers a welcome relief from more pronounced joinings and is in itself a trimming for the dress. © MCCALL One of the New Figured Voiles in an Afternoon Dress with a Smart Satin Hat and Japanese Parasol There are skirts with slightly raised waistlines and plain inch-and-a-half headings; others with wide girdles be low the heading, and, again, the skirt is shirred or corded, with the heading extending above. The peplums, too, are treated in different ways. Many are made with the new normal waistlines, but there are still a few with the raised waistlines. Usually, with the peplum idea, the waist has a vest, leaving an open space in the peplum in front. At the waistline, there are double lines of shirring, a crushed girdle, a belt of the material, or one of the new fancy belts of patent leather and white kid. It has been said with truth, that this is a voile season. As in silk, tuffeta is the favored weave, so in wash material voil predominates. The loose, cross-mesh lends itself readily to the quant styles of the 1915 season. Whole windows of the large stores are given up to frocks of voile; the Avenue throngs with people who wear it, and the lesser stores on the side streets contribute their share to its popularity in exclusive modes for a chosen few of New York's select society. One model of unusual merit is a symphony in pink and white, standing on the spacious third floor of an Avenue store. The pink is a delicate salmon shade, printed in bars and embroidered in big coin dots in every fourth square. This material is used for the waist cut surplice fashion, and for the skirt that comes up over the waist with a heading, while the collar and cuffs are white volle, edged with a pleating of pink and white. Pockets a Feature in Misses' Skirts If misses' skirts are properly pocketed, they are smart this season. Indeed, pockets in their newly-found popularity have outgrown skirts and extend into straps on the belts and even into suspenders on the blouse. They are real pockets, conveniently placed squarely over the hip, that a girl can put her hands into and swagger down the street like her big brother—pockets that are big enough to hold the knickknacks of the handbag, and last, but not least important, pretty enough in shape to trim the skirt. They appear on the rough-and-ready skirt of linen, washable corduroy and cotton gabardine. There are some charming models in soft blue and rose linens; with suspender pockets; sports skirts of corduroy have pockets that button over the belt—big, roomy affairs—at the sides that will be the pride and joy of some girl's life. Pipings for Linens One of the smartest ways of finishing the linen skirts is with pipings. A store that makes a specialty of junior dresses is featuring a rose linen piped in white. The skirt is made with the large patch pockets at the side that extends into suspenders, on the waist. The skirt, suspenders, pockets, and cuffs are of the rose linen, while the waist is white Swiss. The pocket is outlined with a piping of white that accentuates its shape and adds to the style. Midsummer Hats of Satin Satin hats are an innovation of the mid-season. Large shapes are favored in these, and trimmings are unique and original. A broad-brimmed white satin has a flat bow inserted in slits in the front of the crown; a black satin has white velvet birds pasted flat on the crown, and still another white satin has a crown of wool made in four sections, each section embroidered in a different color. The last suggests the cap of the jockey set down on the top of a satin hat, with coloring even more brilliant. Velvet Combines with Hemp and Chip Velvet is one of the fads in summer hats. However, it is seldom used alone. This season, it combines with hemp and chip. One particularly attractive hat has a wide soft brim of white hemp, with the low, close-fitting, crown of black velvet finished at the front with a swirl of black velvet. This is held at the center with a pin stuck through diagonally. The head of the pin is a flower cut out of a flat piece of wood and painted in color. And so it goes, 1 © MCCALL Suspender Pockets on a Linen Skirt Shown with the New Gainsborough Hat and Tapestry Bag each hat is a story in itself, absolutely different from its neighbor. Parasols are the one Oriental note in the fashions. While there are some long-handled, fluffy models shown, the Japanese parasol is by far the favorite These are made of silk, cotton crepe and paper-blunt at the end with many ribs and flat when opened. They come in broad awning stripes, plain colors and flowered. The very latest is the "Garden of Eden." This is a curious affair with black ebony handle, with white ivory ribs and a white crepe top printed in black to represent Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, with all the trees and animals present. Tapestried Handbags Gate-top handbags are still popular. Rare bits of tapestry are now used for the bottom, with gorgeous tassels to finish them off. The rich tones of the material oddly contrast with the light dresses. There is one bag in charming Oriental effect, with peacock coloring of gold and purple combined with dark red This is finished with a gold tassel and heavy gold cord at the top. Other bags have bracelets at the top in place of the cord; and, for those who do not care for the deep tones of the tapestry, there are beaded effects and silver mesh bags in the same gae-top style.

THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU- Mr. Work's Lecture to Teachers of the Tuskegee Summer School. Tuskegee, Ala., July, 23rd—Among the special lectures delivered to the 488 teachers from fourteen states attending the sixth annual meeting which closed to-day following an inspiring address by Mrs. B. T. Washington none created a deeper interest in the study of Negro history than the lecture delivered by Professor Monroe N. Work of the department of research and compiler of the Negro Year Book, Tuskegee institute. The address was delivered Wednesday in the assembly room of the academic building and was heard by a large and appreciative audience. The subject discussed was "Africa in Ancient and Medieval History." Pointing out that races were defined according to certain physical characteristics and that these physical characteristics, it was claimed, determined the superlorty or inferiority of races, and that the current geographies per se, and that the Negro, through these descriptions, has come largely to believe in his inherent inferiority and that to attain superiority he must become like the white man in color and achievements, in fact, along all lines, Mr. Work took the position that this view is detrimental to the progress of the Negro and that the Negro must make his own special contribution to world progress. That is, instead of simply pattern in g after what the white man has done, why cannot the Negro through music, art, history, science, etc., make his own special contributions to world progress? This question, the speaker declared, has arisen because in the field of science and in the field of history a number of facts have been brought forward which justify this possibility. Leading scientists in the field of anthropology are telling us, said Mr. Work, that while there are differences of races, there are no differences which, per se, indicate that one race is inferior or superior to another. The differences are in kind, not in value. On the other hand, the speaker declared, whatever supercolority one race has attained over the other has been largely due to environment. A German writer in a discussion, some time ago, of the origin of African civilizations said, "What bold investigators, great ploneers, still find to tell us of in civilizations nearer home, proves more and more clearly that we are ignorant, of hoary Africa. Somewhat of its present, perhaps we know, but of its past little. Open an illustrated geography and compare the "Type of the African Negro." the bluish-back fellow of the protuberant lips, the flattened nose, the stupid expression and the short curly hair, with the tall bronze figures from dark Africa with which we have of late become familiar, their almost fine-cut features, slightly arched nose, longhair, and you have an example of the problems pressing for solution. In other respects, too, the genuine African of the interior bears no resemblance to the accepted Negro type as it figures on drug and cigar store signs, wearing a shabby stove-pipe hat, plaid trousers and a varicolored coat. A stroll thru the corridors of the Berlin Museum of Ethnology teaches", continues this German author, "that the real African need by no means resort to the rags and tatters of by-gone European splendor. He has precious ornaments of his own, of ivory and plumes, fine plaited willow ware, weapons of superior workmanship. Justly can it be demanded," 'closes that Teutonic scholar, "what sort of civilization is this? Whence does it come?" Mr. Work pointed out that one of the most important contributions to civilization, the smeltering iron, was probably made by the Negro race. In support of his views, he said that apparently no iron was smelted in Europe before 900 B. C.; that about 3000 B. C. there began to appear on the Egyptian monuments pictures of Africans bringing iron from the South to Egypt; that at the time considerably later than this iron implements began to appear in Asia; and that there is no iron ore in Egypt, and that in Negro Africa, on the other hand, iron ore is abundant. Mr. Work called attention to the fact that "during ancient and medival times there were in Negro Africa civilizations of importance enough to be included in the writings of historians and poets of those periods. The importance to which some of the Negro kingjoms of the Western Sudan attained during the middle ages, he said, is not generally known. In size and with the etaoinnepe.toecanswas,That permanency they compared favorably with the contemporary nations of Europe. Mr. Work pointed out that the Negro nation to attain the greatest fame was Ethiopia; that it was by the help of an Ethiopian army that Palestine was able to hold out against Assyria and the attempt of Seunacherib to carry the Jews into captivity was frustrated. In other words, the Negro soldiers of the Sudan saved the Jewish religion. Closing his interesting lecture, Mr. Work said, "And when the faint gleam of tradition and fable gives way to the clear light of history, the lustre of the Ethiopians is not diminished. They still continue the object of curiosity and admiration; and the pen of cautions, clearsighted historians often places in the highest rank of knowledge and civilization. "From this brief sketch which I have given of the African and Medieval times it is seen that we should not despise the rock from whence we were hewn. As a race we have a past which is full of interest. It is worthy of our serious study. From it we can draw inspiration; for it appears that not all black men everywhere throughout the ages have been hewrs of wood and drawrs of water. On the contrary, through long periods of time there were black nations who have left the records of their achievements and of which we are just now beginning to learn a little. This little, however, which we have learned teaches us that the Negroes of to-day should work and strive. Along their own peculia lines in their own peculia ways they should endeavor to make contributions to civilizations and to world progress.

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, Mabell 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.

The Word "Intended" The word "intended" is too often used to imply "betrothed." It may have come to that misuse as an abbreviation of "intended bride" or "intended bridegroom."

VIA SOUTHERN RAILWAY PREMIER CARRIER OF THE SOUTH WEDNESDAY AUGUST 11TH, 1915 AMONG THE MASONS There is no railroading of candidates in New Zealand. An application for degrees must lie over two months before it can be ballotted on, and the brethren must be twice individually officially notified of such petition, and he cannot be initiated until one month after he has been elected. Rudyard Kipling was only twenty years and six monts old when made a Mason in 1886, in Hope and Perseverance Lodge at Lahore, Pruyah, India. Robert Burns was only twenty-three years of age when the degrees were conferred on him in St. David's Lodge Tarbolton, Scotland. Don't wear a Masonic emblem unless your heart approves of it. If unworthily worn, you admit your shame. Either live up to Masonry or tear the pin off. Don't forget you are the Master's stewards, and you must account to him for their use. A few short years and some other steward will take your place. Keep just accounts with God and man. Don't fall to take the Masonic Herald and read it. Then get some other brother to read it. Don't fail to visit your lodge and keep in touch with all your brethren. Make every brother feel that he has gained in being there. Don't fail to help your brethren in every effort to make this old world better. Now abideth Faith, Hope, Charity or Love, but the greatest of these is charity or Love. A Sacred Hour "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men". Yes—and I am pointing my finger directly at you, and you—but there is a time and a place for that nonsense. Levity and facetiousness have their sphere but, brothers, that sphere is not in the lodge room. The impressive, important solemnity of the occasion in the exemplification of the degrees should not be levened with aught, but the seriousness with which it is fraught. I do not desire to lead, to teach nor to dictate, but I humbly offer to you a suggestion. A brother's birth into his Master Masonship, so sacred, so holy, should teem with beauty and love, that that glorious hour shall ring in his future years, on to the very end of his earthly being. Philosophy of Masonic Work According to an old Jewish tradition, little angels are born every morning by the brook which rolls over the flowers of Paradise. These spirits do not work all day. There whole life is like a song. When evening comes they cease their warblings and return, without regret, into nothingness. Thus it is with many institutions to which the present age gives birth; thus it has been with countless, nameless societies which have existed in the past. Not so, however, with Freemasonry. It stands to-day looking back on centuries of work whose monuments are national; it sees, on every hand, fields broadening and purpose deepening; it beholds a future vast and ever progressive. It is pre-eminently the educator of our age; its works are the lessons of life. As defined by the Iter, Dr. Norval. "A Mason's Lodge is a school of plenty; the principal emblems are the teachers;" or, in the impressive language of Albert Pike, "There are great truths at the foundation of Freemasonry—truths which it is its mission to teach, and which, as constituting—the very essence of that sublime system which gives to the venerable institution its peculiar identity as a science of morality, it behooves every disciple to ponder and inwardly digest." The preparation of the candidate is in itself a lesson, and the ceremonies of initiation are beautiful and imposing exemplifications of profound truths of the Order. The Mason is taught to perfect his nature according to the Divine plan, to subjugate his passions to the dominion of the soul; to enjoy his faculties in the noble mission of life, to cultivate generous affections, holy thoughts, and heavenly aspirations; to labor for truth, wisdom and virtue. He is shown that riches, glory, and fame and all the world's crowns and kingdoms are but vanity, and will vanish as a wreath of smoke; but that the soul will live through all time, with its treasures of holiness, wisdom, hope, virtue, love, pure thoughts and devout affections. Masonry teaches the exalted principles of our existence, upon which rest the well-being and progress of society, the purity and sacredness of the family relations, and the duties which are due to the Creator of all. Masonry teaches the equality of man. It acknowledges no earthly aristocrat or monarch. It knows no worldly distinction of rank or position. Kings, princes, and subjects, commanders of armies, and private soldiers, statesmen and peasants, all "meet upon the level."—Northern Freemason. F. A. B. CHURCH The services at the First African Baptist Church were largely attended on last Sunday. The pastor, Rev. T. Jefferson Goodall extended a special welcome to a number of visitors at each service, several persons connected themselves with the church by letter and watch-care relationship. Dr. H. Wordsworth Reed preached an interesting sermon at the 11 o'clock service from the subject, "Faith". Text Heb. gospel minister, is a specialist on The truth of the matter is that many Colored business men have neither kept pace with the broadening and discriminating tastes of the Colored customer nor with the specialized efforts of their white competitors. This is the age of specialized selling methods and the Colored merchant must "fall in" or "fall out."

The pastor sang a very touching solo. Dr. Reed, aside from being a chronic diseases, and in a brief way he was permitted to make mention of his work after his sermon, Mrs. Ida A. Hines, representing a reformatory school movement in Jacksonville, Fla., was introduced and intelligently presented her work. The church gave her a donation. The pastor and deacons automobiled to the Sabine Field prayer house at Telfair Sunday afternoon and held a rousing meeting. This is one of the ten prayer houses connected with the church. The pastor is making a four of them to acquaint himself and be come acquainted. He has visited three to this date, with profitable results in every particular. The pastor preached at the night service to Ga. Company No 1, Kinghts of Damon and an auxiliary body of ladies from the subject, "Christ as a Friend; or an Example of Friendship". John 15:13. The sermon was the product of a careful bible research and was delivered with much force and convincing argument to the fraternity of Damons and the congregation. Rev. Chas. Roberson read the scripture from the 13th Psalms and Rev. F. T. Black offered prayer. The order donated liberally to the pastor, church and choir. The pastor thanked them and extended them a welcome as a body or as individuals at each service of the church. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are flourishing. Each Sunday shows an increase in attendance. Read the church's weekly, edited by the pastor and keep up with the doings of your church and, too, drop a nickel or a dime in the collection basket each Sunday to pay for the printing of them. The Church's excursion to St. Cathering Island on last Monday was a success. The chairman and committee are thanked by the church for their assiduous work. Each member that did not attend owes for a ticket. The pastor and officers ask that you pay for one tomorrow at the communion service, that your conscience may not dictate adversely to your duty as a loyal christian. THE NEW YORK TIMES The Sister States. A curious inquirer wanted to know: "What are the sister states?" and the brilliant country editor answered: "We are not quite sure, but we should judge that they are Miss Ourl, Ida Ho, Mary Land, Callie Fornia, Allie Bama, Louisa Anna, Della Ware, Minnie Sota and Mrs. Sippl."—Ladies' Home Journal "There were seven of the twins said one of the discharged jurors speaking of the matter next morning "who didn't want to sleep themselves and, wouldn't let the rest of us sleep.

The assassination this week of the president of Haiti and the execution of almost a hundred other persons in the little island republic betray the un-ettled internal condition of affairs which exist there and emphasize the woeful lack of harmony which surrounds the conduct of the government. The week's happenings at Port au Prince have received much space in the papers and have been read with much interest. It is not the first time in the history of the world that such wholesale executions have taken place and it will not likely be the last time, but for the good of the little island republic, for its future welfare and progress, it will be well if the warring factions can settle their differences in a more amicable manner. Until there is more harmony on the island and better government the republic will never reach that state of development which all Negroes would like to see it attain. It is becoming more and more evident every day that there must be better and more systematic organization among us for the care and support of the indigent among the race. Cases are being brought to our attention daily which need the assistance and careful supervision of an organized body among us whose duty it is to look after them. Our men of means, and by this is not only meant those men whose monthly and weekly salaries are quite sufficient to support their households and have a nice margin for other use, must realize the sore necessity of including in their yearly budgets, or better, expenditures, a small amount for charity. There are but few of us who cannot afford to give something to organizations for alleviation of human suffering, such as the local Urban League, and we must support them. We have either not given this matter sufficient thought or we have been indifferent as to our responsibility for no adequate amount has yet been raised among us which could carry on this work, but the time is now at hand when we shall have to do our whole duty along this line. As men fully cognizant of the great responsibilities resting upon our shoulders we should become conscious of our duty and seek in an organized, systematic way to do all in our power to help those who are less fortunate than we and who are dependent upon us. The horrifying steam boat disaster in Chicago last week in which a thousand or more excursionists lost their lives in the Chicago river when the steamship Eastland turned turtle at her dock just before she was about to leave with her complement of passengers, has cast a gloom over the entire country. To read of the wanton loss of life, the drowning of hundreds of women and children, the self-sacrificing and heroic efforts of scores of men who attempted to rescue the perishing, made us shudder as we read the various news items which told of the great disaster. The incident, as sad and shocking as it is, should serve to prevent a similar reoccurrence. It should forcibly impress those whose office it is to safe guard the public with the necessity of doing well their duty in every instance and allowing none to transgress the law thereby making possible such a sad and horrifying incident as that of last week. That the authorities, both city and national, should and will investigate the cause of this awful disaster is shown by the several commissioners which have already been appointed and are looking into the awful loss of life. A thorough and exhaustive investigation into the cause of the disaster and the punishment of those responsible for it is imperative and should be pressed forward with all dispatch. --- OVERHOME NEWS, BEAUFORT S. C. By J. S. Blocker take this occasion to say that I am sure that Savannah will never see such a demonstration again by the Negro as the Sir Knights of Georgia held in your city on Tuesday July 13th I am sure I was proud of the honor of having Pluto Co. E, of this city, in that parade. We were congratulated at the camp by so many of the overhomers for the part that we took. The parade will inspire the young boys of your city. Savannah is indeed a great city. I believe the Negro citizens of Savannah have taken their real place in the front rank. They go after things and they get them. That convention was a great boom for your city and the Negro citizens. Too much credit cannot be given The Tribune for the space that was given over to boost one of the biggest conventions in Savannah. We want to congratulate the whole office force from the editor down to the printer's devil. We leave for Spartanburg to-day to attend our grand lodge session of the K. of P. We hope to bring the next grand lodge session to Beaufort 1916, our city manager and chamber of commerce are aiding us to get them here. Again wishing for your continued success. Capt W. I. Allen left the city this week for Richmond, Va., where he will take in the Negro exposition, after which he will attend the grand lodge K. of P., which convenes in Spartanburg, July 27 to 30. Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Cummings of Atlanta, Ga., are spending some time in the city with their aunt, Mrs. Rosa Simmons, Congress street. Mr. Cummings is one of the undertakers and embalmers of Atlanta. He was for a number of years with Mr. Seabrooks of Savannah. Miss Jennie Wright left the city this week to spend some time with friends in Savannah. Miss Flemming of 533 Huntingdon street, Savannah, is in the city spending some time with Mrs. Middleton King street. Among the delegates leaving Beaufort for Spartanburg to attend the K. of P. Grand Lodge session and Grand Court of Calanthe were Capt. W. I. Allen, Hon. J. I. Washington, Major P. A. Roper, Grand W. Counsellor, Mrs. Carrie Blocker, Mrs. B. H. Fisher, Capt. J. S. Blocker, Grand Inner Guard. Mrs. Selena Flounoy left the city for Savannah this week where she will spend some time with her old friends. Mrs. Esta Rainey spent a few days in the city last week, much to the delight of her many friends. Mrs. E. M. Pinckney of Augusta, Ga., a representative of Mme Walker's hair grower, has returned to the city after spending some time with Mrs. L. E. Moore of Scott street, who was also appointed a local representative of Mme. Walker. Pluto Co., E, carried a large crowd to Savannah during the K. of P. grand lodge session of Georgia. The boys were royally received by the overhomers all along the line of march, during the big parade. Messrs W. H. Seabrooks, Charles Brown and James Hudson of Savannah spent a few days in the city last week as the guests of Miss Frances Washington and Miss Ida White. Many compliments were paid to the young ladies. Mrs. Eugene Dickson, after spending two weeks with her mother, Mrs. Mary Brown, Charles street, has returned to Augusta. The July term of court convened Monday July 19th, Judge Earnest Moore, presiding. The docket was very light, only three days. One of the most important cases to come was State vs Mr. Dock Parks, Hon. J. I. Washington represented Mr. Parks. It resulted in a mistrial. The case created a great deal of interest. Mr. Parker runs an automobile for public service between Port Royal. On May 29th he was hired to transport a few dozen bottles of beer from Port Royal to Beaufort. The rural policeman stopped his car and confiscated the beer as contraband, claiming the same to be for illegal purposes, which the state failed to prove. The state Sunday school and B. X. P. U., convention held its 9th annual session at the First A. B. Church last week, commencing on Thursday morning and closing Sunday night. There were about 150 young men and women present from every part of the state. This convention is composed of some of the most representative young people of South Carolina and their bearing and appearance were commended upon by both white and colored citizens. Many of the leading men and women of the race are members of the convention, preachers, educators and students from the Baptist colleges. Dr. H. M. Moore of Anderson, S. C., is president with an able corps of officers. Dr. J. J. Durham, president of the State Missionary and Educational Convention, and Mrs. Boykin, president of the Women's Missionary Convention, were both present and took active parts in the deliberation of the convention. The introductory sermon was preached Thursday morning to a packed house by Dr. Durham, who delivered one of his strongest sermons. Thursday afternoon welcome addresses were delivered by Mr. W. F. Marscher, mayor pro-tem; Rev. D. W. Bythewood, pastor Tabernacle Baptist Church and Hon. J. I. Washington. These were responded to by Rev. Rafford, the pulpit orator of Aiken, S. C. Friday afternoon the local committee took the entire convention and a number of friends down the harbor for a sail on board the Steamer Islander. Saturday afternoon Mrs. B. H. Fisher, representing the Mather school, took the convention out to that school in a body, two large auto trucks and several automobiles being used for that purpose. Saturday night a musical and literary concert was given by some of the young ladies and gentlemen of the convention, assisted by local talent. This was in deed an intellectual treat. Sunday morning a model school was conducted by Prof. Ducket of Benedict College. In the selection, the president made no mistake, for Prof. Ducket was equal to the occasion. The pullpit was occupied at the morning session, Sunday, by Dr. H. M. Moore, president of the convention, who preached one of the ablest and strongest missionary sermons that has ever been our good fortune to listen to. The closing sermon was ably preached at 8 o'clock by Rev. Phillips, of Union, to a packed house. This ended one of the best and most successful sessions ever held by this body. Over $1,000.00 was raised during the session. One of the several features of the convention was the excellent music furnished by the local choir, under the leadership of Mrs. C. G. Bascomb, church organist. This was commented upon by nearly every member of the convention and by many of the citizens of the town, white and colored. We are informed that many of our white friends were attracted to the church by the music. The convention will hold its next session at Chester, S. C. Prof. Edgar H. Webster, principal of the normal department of Atlanta University, has written the following strong letter opposing the bill which recently passed the Georgia senate to to prohibit white teachers in this state from teaching in Negro schools. Professor Webster is one of the best known and oldest white teacher in Negro schools in the state and the letter to the Constitution, a copy of which was mailed The Tribune, will be read with much interest by the Negroes throughout the state. The letter is as follows: "Editor Constitution: "As a teacher of colored youth, I wish to express my appreciation of the editorial of July 9th, "An Unjust Measure." If ever words were fitly spoken those were the words. It is always unfortunate when a law mixes up in the public mind morality and legality; which makes the immoral legal, and the moral illegal and criminal. "Of all the names that have survived us out of the past next to that of the Great Teacher stands the name of Socrates. His crime was, that he taught youth, taught them to think. For this he drank the hemlock. Surely twenty-five centuries later we are not going to label a man 'criminal' who teaches youth to think even tho the youth be the grand children of the freedmen." "I wonder if the white South knows the value to itself that the missionary schools established after the war have been. Standing on the steps of the main building of Atlanta University, a southern business man said to me: "This school must mean a good deal to the colored people of this city." I replied, "It means a million dollars a year to the white people of this city." And this is true too all the items cannot be put in terms of money. There is the cost of running the school which means business for Atlanta merchants. There is the money spent by students from abroad for their personal supplies, money spent in Atlanta stores. There are the graduates teaching in the city schools, all of whose salaries are sooner or later returned to Atlanta business. There are the men educated here now in the government employment who spend their incomes and make their investments here. There are the women, graduates and non-graduates who have married and are making homes and not abiding them, not merely parents, but mothers. "But more than these I should emphasize that civic morale among the educated Negroes of the Southern states, a morale so marked that courts and congresses, students of sociology north and south reach one common conclusion: 'The Negro criminal class is not fed from the educated Negroes.' "It was natural the first work in Negro education was begun by the north. Historically, as the south organized its public schools any education above the grammar grades was still left to the north. It was also natural to expect, that the sores caused by the war healed as the new question pushed the old issue out of sight, that a more sympathetic attitude toward Negro education would show itself in the south. One welcomes, therefore, every strong church that establishes a mission Sunday school among its colored neighbors; every southern man or woman who enters upon settlement work among the colored; especially do we welcome two great denominations of the christian church in the south that have established professional schools for Negroes, schools to prepare the students for teaching and preaching. And all this is to be called 'crime' and all of us who follow the example of Socrates and teach youth to think and to apply, are criminal if the youth be colored. "The trouble with the Negro problem is, that it is never left alone. No sooner does the Negro accustom himself to one restriction and under it accomplish results that all agree are phenomenal, than a new restriction is placed to which a new adjustment must be made. What is needed in the south to-day is that some man in position and authority should say and say emphatically: 'Toward any movement that tends to enlarge the freedom of the Negro I am sympathetic and will lend my influence and my vote. I will even be quiet if the Negro is left under present conditions to work out his career. But to any movement to further restrict the sphere within which he can operate I am unalterably opposed, and against such I will give my voice and my vote.' For such a man I will not venture to predict his political career, but he will achieve the affection of ten million of his fellow-citizens and become the marked man of the decade if not the generation." SEA SIDE NEWS, BLUFFTON, S. C. Mr. B. F. Jones, agent for the North Carolina Mutual, was in town this week. He is the picture of health. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Alston were in town this week.

Mr. James Whynn left here last week for Lake Placid, N. Y., where he will be about four months. The balmy breezes of Bluffton are being enjoyed by Mrs. A. B.

Mrs. Victoria Gadsden was taken to a sanitarium at Savannah last week. We hope her an early recovery. Tide is suitable for fishing in the mornings next week. Revival meeting began at Zion, Church last Sunday night. It is the hope of the pastor that many will attend. Perhaps those already members will be reinvigorated to do more work, others will no doubt renew in the memory their state of neglect and the result thereof. Mexican Hats.

U. B. of A. HQLDS SIXTH ANNUAL SESSION Order Makes Excellent Progress Along All Lines The Supreme Grand Temple of the U. B. of A, held its sixth annual session and first biennial session at its headquarters, July 26-28 Inclusive. A great numerical and financial growth was shown. The session was the greatest both in point of attendance and interest, in the history of this flourishing order, under the leadership of its founder and supreme grand architect, W. D. comedy, Jr. Representatives from many parts of this state and South Carolina were present and expressed themselves as being delighted and encouraged with the remarkable showing made in the reports of the supreme officers. The reports of the various district officers also showed that the entire membership of the order is filled with enthusiasm and a determination to go forward for the development of the order's object, "the uniting of our people into a greater brotherhood". The session adjourned to meet with the members of Aiken district of South Carolina in 1917. The following officers constitute the official board, W. D. Kennedy, S. G. A.; C. L. Davis, 1st vice S, G. A.; J. A. Mills, 2 vice S, G. A; J S Perry, S. G. S.; J. H. Johnson, S. G. R. of F.; Phoebe Morgan, S. G. M. Att.; S. S. Singfield, S. G. A. Att.; J H Butler, S G. Messenger; Rev. J. H. Stephens, S. G. H. Priest; E. George, S. G. A. W. C. H. McIntosh, S G D. DEATH The death of Mrs. Katie Perry was not a surprise to most of the people of Savannah because of the long duration of her illness before leaving here for her home in Marion, S. C., where she died July 15th. She was in Marion for some weeks before she died. She was a faithful wife and had a loving disposition. She lived in this city only a year and five months. She was a member of St. Philip A. M. E. Church, Charles and West Broad streets, and had become one of the assistant teachers of the Sunday school. She was devoted to her husband, Mr. C. P. Perry. Her greatest desire after she went to her home in Marion was to be with her husband. Mrs. Perry is survived by her husband, Mr. C. P. Perry of this city; sister, Mrs. Sallie Evans and Mrs. Muggie Freson both of Marion, S. C., and Miss Hattle Williams of Hartsville, S. C., Mr. Lawrence Rogers of Marion ad Mrs. Mamie Brooks of Philadelphia, Pa. The funeral was conducted by the Rev. Romons, W. O., Pastor of Bethel M. E. Church, of which she was a member before coming to Savannah. Thanks to her many friends that have been so kind to us in our trouble. The life she lived will only entitle us to meet her again. Yours in Christ HUSBAND DEATH Mr. Arthur J. Simmons, son of Mr. and Mrs. Renty C. Simmons who died last Wednesday, July 14, at his home, 100 East Boundary street after an illness of four months, was buried the following day from the Second African Baptist Church with the pastor, Rev. W. Bolivar Davis officiating. He was widely known and left many friends to glorify his death. He is survived by a mother, Mrs. Dillen Simmons; a father, Mr. Renty C. Simmons; a wife Mrs. Arthur J. Simmons; a sister, Miss Lillian Simmons; three brothers, Messrs Edward, Freddy and Herman Simmons; an nunt, Mrs. Mary Pearson of New York, and two uncles, Dr. J. M. Grayson of Chicago, Ill., and Mr. Stephen S. Grayson, and a grandmother, Mrs. Diana Grayson, both of Beaufort, S. C. Until the shadows from the earth are cast, Until He gathers in His sheaves at last, Until the twilight gloom be over. Good night. Only "good night" beloved not farewell. A little while and all His saints shall dwell In hallowed union indivisible. Until we meet again before His throne. Clothed in the spotless robe He gives His own, Until we know even as we are known. Good Night. A Soldier's Ammunition. The United States soldier goes into battle with 100 rounds of ammunition, the German with 120, the French with 120, the British with 100, the Russian with 120, the Italian with 162 and the Japanese with 150. The ammunition carts are, of course, always in the near rear to keep up the supplies—New York American. Coming Events in the Social World.

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 nearest 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 made a chaplain to one of the regiments in India for a toast, who, after considering some time, at long end 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 Kar Tip. "Mine at last! I could face ogres for you." "Well, while you are feeling so spunky it would be a good time for you to interview papa, George."—Washington Herald. How They Laugh. 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 rollicking. 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. Boys and Girls Wake Up! Dr. Booker T.

"On one side the rich, on the other side the poor. On one side the laughing optimists, on the other side the walling pessimists. Here the gilded youth who won't do any work, there the ragged youth who can't get any work to do." -He paused, then ended: "Yes, a world of opposites. On the one hand we see an army of young fellows saving up to get married, and on the other hand an army of old fellows saving up to get divorced."—Exchange. Restaurant Affiliation: The waiter in the light lunch cafe looked expectantly at the first of five men who had just entered. "Bring me a coffee cake and a cup of coffee," ordered the first man. "Till take some milk biscuit and a glass of milk," said the second. "Tea buns and a cup of tea, please," remarked the third. "A piece of coconut pie and a cup of cocoa," said the fourth. The waiter went to the fifth man. "I know what you want," he said. "You want a slice of chocolate cake and a cup of chocolate." "No; I do not," protested the fifth man. "I want a plate of ice cream and a glass of ice water."-Judge. Chinese children are endowed with strange Christian names. Their girls, for instance, are not called Mabel, Jenny or Matilda, but Cloudy Moon, Celestial Happiness, Spring Peach or Casket of Perfumes. Their boys get less attractive names, being made for work and wisdom rather than pleasure and dancing. Thus we find a little two-year-old Practical Industry, three-year-old Ancestral Knowledge, four-year-old Complete Virtue, five-year-old Discreet Valor. To their slaves they give still another set of names. Not For Me, Joy to Serve, Your Happiness and Humble Devotion may be taken as typical examples. A Skip and Jump Age. Carelessness costs many a life, it sacrifices many a fortune and ruins many a promising prospect. A crusade for efficiency may be carried too far, but it is sadly needed. We live in a "skip and jump" age. Somebody tells some one else of "a good thing," and some one else proceeds to buy it because "somebody" did. We ape all kinds of queer fashions—in dress, in modes of living and in everything else—doing it thoughtlessly, carelessly and indifferently. Then we wonder why some succeed and so many fail. Perhaps the "some" are not so careless. Perhaps the "some" do a little more thinking than the others—Jasper in Leslie's. Could Do For Herself. She was a very delightful but a very aged lady—over ninety—and her friends and relatives and even chance acquaintances, drawn by her exquisite personality, all did her homage and, as the saying is, "waited on her hand and foot." She accepted it all very graciously, but with some inward rebellion, for to a very old and close mouthed friend she once said, with a quant pucker of lips and brows: "I am reminded sometimes of the old lines:— "Iwa were blowin' at her nose, And three were bucklin at her ahoon." —Youth's Companion. Fate Pursued Him More than one year ago a city official lent $4 to a man, and as the months passed by and the loan was not pala the city official gave up all hope of ever collecting the money. A day or two ago the official met the borrower. "Have you got $17?" inquired the borrower. "No." replied the official, anticipating another "touch." "That is too bad," replied the borrower, holding out a five dollar bill. "I borrowed $4 from you, and I wanted to pay you back. But it doesn't matter. I can give it to you some other time."—Indianapolis News. East Indian Infantry A captain in an Indian infantry regiment is known to his men as a "subadar," and the next man below him is called a "jemadar." Most of the officers and noncommissioned officers have names that finish with "dar," for a sergeant is a "havildar." A corporal, however, is called a "naik" while the private is a "sepoy." The only infantry regiments in which private soldiers are not known as "sepoys" are the Ghurka regiments. A Ghurka private is distinguished as a rifleman. In the cavalry a trooper or private is called a "sowar," a sergeant is a "duffadar" and a captain a "risaldar." Other ranks are similar to those in the infantry—London Answers. The Oyster Shell. Every one who has handled an oyster shell must have noticed the successive layers overlapping each other. These are technically named shots, and each one marks a year's growth, so that by counting them the age of the oyster can be determined. Up to the time of its maturity—that is, when four years of age—the shots are regular and successive, but after that time they become irregular and are piled one upon another so that the shell becomes bulky and thickened. Fossil oysters have been seen of which each shell was nine inches thick, whence they may be-guessed to be more than 900 years old. --- VACANT PROPERTY FOR SALE for sale or for rent, you will or a notice on the proper it for granted that it is about it it's hardly ing into.

"It is now here directed by the Sub Committee of Management that the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18 be and it is hereby ordered to pay no further money toward the support of said Industrial Commission or farm, save such as may be necessary to prevent waste and conserve the effects of said farm, and that said executive committee on or before January 1, 1916, close up its affairs with said Industrial Commission and cease in every way its said connection with said Commission and cease in every way to have any concern with said Commission, or any project in relation thereto." In the matter of "division meetings in Georgia" the opinion and judgment of the Sub-Committee of Management are as follows: "(In re Division Meetings: Opinion by Board.) "The question of division meetings has been before this body more than once. "It is now here directed by the SubCommittee of Management that District Grand Lodge No. 18, its executive committee, each and every official thereof, and as well each and every Household of Ruth and inmate thereof in the State of Georgia, be and it and they and each one of them, whether acting officially or as individuals are hereby ordered to forthwith and without delay cease from holding division meetings, and cease from acting or claiming or pretending to act as deputies or supervisors or attempting in any wise to exercise any rights or powers as deputies or supervisors, and to cease from communicating with lodges or households in relation to division meetings, deputies, or supervisors." In the matter of the petition of J. D. Powell, W. S. Daniels and others, in which prayer was made that the Sub-Committee of Management delegate some one other than the present district grand master and executive committee to conduct the forth coming meeting of the District Grand Lodge No. 18, it being alleged that petitioners fear that bona fide delegates would be deprived of participating in the meeting and also deprived of other rights, the opinion and judgment of the Sub-Committee of Management are as follows: "(In re Petition J. D. Powell, B. W. S. Daniels, et al, that the Sub-Committee of Management delegate person to conduct District Grand Lodge No. 18 meeting.)" "Under the present showing the Sub- Committee of Management declines to designate any member to open the distri- tict grand lodge, but leaves that to proper official, and trusts that such official will in every instance be guided solely by the law. "The right of appeal furnishes every delegate, member, and lodge a complete remedy. "The petition will therefore be den- led." With respect of the consolidation of the bureau of endowment of District Grand Household of Ruth No. 8 with that of District Grand Lodge No. 18, the opinion and judgment of the Sub- Committee of Management are as follows: "(In re Households of Ruth of Georgia and the so called 'Merger with Bureau of Endowment of District Grand Lodge No. 18, of Georgia.' Opinion by the Sub-Committee of Management.)" "By charge and admission before this Sub-Committee of Management, there is no question but what the taking over of the endowment department of District Grand Household of Ruth No. 8 was not brought about in the way and manner contemplated by the laws of the Order." "It is therefore adjudged that the 'merger' so-called, of District Grand Household of Ruth No 8 endowment system with that of District Grand Lodge No. 18 was and is of no force and effect. "Inmates of Ruth are not under the jurisdiction of District Grand Lodge No. 18 in relation to endowment. Households must not and cannot declare inmates nonfinancial for failure to pay dues in endowment conducted by District Grand Lodge No. 18." --- "(In re Graves.) "It is now here ordered and directed by the Sub-Committee of Management that the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18 and all others having in any wise to do with the matter, forthwith and without delay, restore to full membership in the Order, without conditions, restrictions or qualifications the said Bro. A. Graves; and that it and they revive the said policy held by said Bro. Graves at the time of his expulsion, and that it and they receive from said Bro. Graves, or from Atlanta Lodge No. 5465 for him endowment or policy dues. "It is further ordered that said executive committee and those in charge of the endowment or insurance department of District Grand Lodge No 18 certify to this Sub-Committee of Management within 20 days from this date (July 15, 1915) how it has obeyed and carried out this order." Bro. A. Graves petitioned the Sub-Committee of Management to reopen, reviewed, and give rehearsing to the cause terminating in his expulsion from the Order in 1911. The opinion and judgment of the Sub-Committee of Management with respect to said petition of Bro. Graves are as follows: (In re Petition of Bro. A. Graves.) "At the January 1915 meeting of the Sub-Committee of Management, by its order and on petition of said Bro. Graves, he was restored to membership in the Order. "Many of the witnesses since the trial of the original cause have dled. "Petitioner is now in the Order. To retry the cause if reopened, might entail hardships on many. In life some must bear burdens, justly and unjustly, put up with them. "Having been restored to membership on his own petition, we now deem it proper to deny petitioner's petition for a further review of this cause. Petition of Mrs. Driskell and Others Mrs. Mabel Driskell, Hattle L. Green, and others petitioned the Sub-Committee of Management for the relief from certain acts of District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis and the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18. Among other and diverse complaints the petition set forth that petitioners had been charged with consplacy; that the charges had ostensibly been made by Mrs. Mamie Hallery, and came about because the petitioners' opposition to the candidacy of Miss Lucie Dennis (assistant secretary in the office of District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis) for the office of district grand treasurer of District Grand Household of Ruth No S, and that the charges were made solely for the purpose of "getting rid of plaintiffs." The petition further stated that petitioners, believing that District Grand Lodge No. 18 had no jurisdiction over them, and for that reason had refused to appear before the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18 to be tried for the same charge of conspiracy, that upon such refusal they were suspended by the District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis and ordered to pay fines aggregating $24. The petition also stated that they paid this fine upon promise of William Driskell (B. J. Davis' agent) that petitioners would be allowed to form a new household of Ruth, but such promis was never kept. The petitioners alleged further that they surrendered, charter, etc., of Annie Jarrett Household of Ruth No 4197, and that after having paid the fines,"they found out that it was only a scheme of District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis to get their books and charter." Petitioners were never allowed to form the new household of Ruth. The injuries complained of date from 1011. The action of the Sub-Committee of Management in this case is as follows: "Ordered:That the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No.18 and each and every member theroot, and all parties concerned restore petitioners to their original standing in the Order and that the books, etc., of House-of Ruth No 4179 be returned to the Sub-Committee of Management." Under previous order of the Sub-Committee of Management that B. J. Davis, district grand secretary of District Grand Lodge No. 18, appear before the Sub-Committee of Management and show cause why a rule should not be issued against him to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt in relation to certain orders of the Sub-Committee of Management with respect to matters in District Grand Lodge No. 18, Bro. Davis and his counsel, Henry Lincoln Johnson, were heard in answer. The order citing District Grand Secretary Davis to thus appear before the Sub-Committee of Management was predicated on the petition of Morgan Williams, of Ben Williams Lodge No. 8243; A. O. Simpson, of West View Lodge No. 7785; A. G. Arnold and W. H. Chlvers, of Battle Hill Lodge No. 8104; M. J. Smith, of Pride of Georgia Lodge No. 1556; E. L. Collier and W. H. Ballard, of Atlanta Lodge No. 5405; J. M. Smith, of Capital City Lodge No. 7811; William T. Morton, of Cosmopolitan Lodge No. 7934; T. H. Holcomb; and others, who allege divers unlawful and tyrannical acts of District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis, and the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18. Among the causes and complaints related in the petition were the "Sinking Fund Commission," the "Industrial Commission," the "Eighteenth B. M. C. Movement," the "unlawful raising of salaries of district grand lodge officers," "violation of endowment policy contracts," "unlawful and ruinous investment of district grand lodge funds," "loaning endowment funds to members of the executive committee and the sinking fund commissioners, or their wives, and to the schemes to which they are interested," and "unlawful taxation." The Sub-Committee of Management in the face of all the evidence and testimony before it, deemed the answer of Davis and his counsel insufficient, obscure, and unsatisfactory, and unanimously ruled— "That District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis show cause why he should not be adjudged in contempt. Answer to be made within 90 days; rule returnable at January, 1916, meeting of the Sub-Committee of Management. In the matter of the claim of Dr. B. W. S. Daniels against Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18 for salary as district grand medical examiner, the Sub-Committee of Management ruled: "That the executive committee pay Dr. Daniels for the time for which he had not already been paid." The claim of Henry Lincoln Johnson, former deputy Grand Master, for a balance due him on account of attending meetings of the last Sub-Committee of Management was not allowed, it appearing that even if the claim were a valid one it was fully offset by the excess in the railroad fare charged from Atlanta, Ga., to Philadelphia, Pa., over that between Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., at which place claimant resided when attending the meetings. In the case of L. L. Edwards, of Three links Lodge No. 5674, Waycross, Ga., against the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18, it was decided that, "the finding of the Executive Committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18 were a nullity and that Edwards has right of appeal to District Grand Lodge No. 18.-Odd Fellows' Journal.3 How We Fall Asleep.

Memory Verse, 16—Golden Text, Prov. xvi, 18—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In this record of the division of the kingdom and its cause we still see God over all controlling and in all working, for He has foreseen everything from the beginning and 'provided' for every so called emergency and always tells the final outcome. This division of the kingdom has never been healed till this day, but it will be in His time, according to Ezek. xxxvii, 21, 22, "I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all, and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all." The immediate cause of this division is found in chapter xl, 9, 10, "The Lord was angry with Solomon because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice and had commanded him concerning this thing that he should not go after other gods." Therefore was the kingdom rent in twain. Departure from God and disobedience to Him is back of all trouble, as a rule, and the devil is back of that, but the time will come when on this earth there shall be no more trouble, and from this earth and this atmosphere the devil shall have gone forever (Rev. xx, 10; xxi, 1-4; xxii, 3-5). Whether it be providing a king for Israel, as we have seen in the case of Saul, and David, and Solomon, or dividing the kingdom, as we are about to see, the Lord generally works by ordinary human instrumentality. In our lesson story today we "see Hadad Rezon and Jeroboam and Rehoboam and old men and young men all doing seemingly as they saw fit, but behind the scenes is an unseen hand controlling. "The Lord stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad, the Edomite." "God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon, the son of Elladah." "Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to thee." "The cause was from the Lord, That He might perform His saying, which the Lord spoke by Ahijah, the Shillonite, unto Jeroboam, the son of Nebat." "Thus saith the Lord, Ye-shall not go up nor fight against your brethren, the children of Israel: return-every man to his house, for this thing is from Me." (I Kings xi, 14, 23, 31; xii, 15, 24). Even the devil cannot touch a child of God without God's permission, as we see in the case of Job and of Simon Peter. The believer who aims to walk with God in humility and obedience may live in continual peace and quietness, assured that all things are God's best for him and that no real evil can ever befall him. But if there is disobedience or wilfulness God will in love and wisdom chasten for our good. Solomon belong dead, Rehoboam, his son, reigned in his stead, all Israel having made him king at Shechem (xii, 1; II Chron. x, 1). When Jeroboam heard in Egypt that Solomon was dead he returned, and with a deputation, waited upon Rehoboam with a request that he would lighten the burdens which his father's magnificent reign had caused to be placed upon them. He asked for three days to consider their request, and meantime he consulted first with the old men and then with his young men. The former advised moderation and that he speak kindly to the people, but the latter advised increased severity. So when the third day came and Jeroboam and the people came again for his reply he spake to them as the young men had advised, for the Lord was by their evil counsel working out His purpose (verse 15), as He also wrought by the counsel of Hushai, which was evil toward Absalom, to overthrow him. "The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations," but all other counsel or device He bringeth to nought (Ps. xxxiii, 10). "Whatsoever the Lord pleased that did He in heaven and in earth, in the seas and all deep places" (Ps. cxxxx, 6). However people may associate themselves against Him or take counsel together against His people, all shall be broken to pieces and come to nought. (Isa. vili, 9, 10). For "the Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand." (Isa. xiv, 24). He maketh the wrath of man to praise Him, and the remainder He restrains. He saith to the sea, "Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; and here shall thy proud be stayed." (Ps. lxxiv, 10; Job xxxvili, 11). If our hearts are whole toward Him He will hold strongly with us and cause others to see and know that He is with us; but if we are self willked and rely on human wisdom He will work against us and overthrow us, though He may bear long with us. He has a purpose for every individual life of His redeemed, as well as for the church., which is His body, and for His people Israel and for all nations; and He will accomplish His purpose through His willing people individually and collectively. We never heard of anything so great as the love of God. AT ALLGOOD DEALERS. 50¢ UP The Secret of a Good Figure often lies in the brassiere.

The effort of members of the legislature to drive white teachers out of all Negro schools, and to prevent (?) Negroes teaching white folks caused a getting together of the Negroes and conservative white folks for the common good of all. The efforts were prompt and effective, and it is believed the measure has been put to sleep for keeps. It is generally understood that that the bill was aimed at the catholic Negro schools where white Catholic teachers are in charge. It seems that there is an element of white folks in this statetat keeps up a constant fire upon the Catholic church people, but why should we, for policy sake, be kicked about too? Twould be a blessing—a God-send, if there was not another session of the Georgia legislature for the next twenty-five years. We believe old Georgia is making some progress, however slow, in the right direction. Compulsory Education There is pending in the Georgia legislature a bill which, if enacted into law, would force all parents to send their children to school at least three months of each year. There are many defects and loop-holes in the bill, but, all in all, it would mark the beginning. Ignorance-illiteracy is the greatest affliction under which our state staggers, and it is a pity that, with the comparative records of states which have compulsory education laws and those which have not, men who go to Atlanta to enact laws cannot see the awful plight of the state, and, instead of nursing the smouldering embers of race hatred, or religious hatred, set themselves about the task of redeeming the state superintendent. Lawton B. Evans of this city, in an address before the Rotarians a few days ago, took strong grounds in favor of compulsory education. He delved into details and by statistics showed that compulsory education wipes out illiteracy and enhances the worth to the state of each laborer, or, to be exact, I quote from the address: "An illiterate laborer is worth $1.00 per day; a skilled laborer doing the same work in a better way is worth twice the money. The earning capacity of the illiterate in America is estimated at $150 a year; of the partially educated $30 a year; of the grammar school $600 a year; of the high school graduates $1,000 a year; of the college graduates $1,500 a year. Per capita wealth increases in the exact proportion as education becomes widespread. The per capita wealth of Massachusetts among the native born whites, is about $2,400. The per capita wealth of Georgia is around $300. Massachusetts has less than one percent of illiterates, and Georgia has 8 per cent. Massachusetts has compulsory education of all children between 7 and 14 years for eight months in the year, a total of sixty-four months, Georgia requires nothing." Logically, Mr. Evans and those of the school he represents must admit that the above would apply also to the Negro people; therefore the policy of cutting the curriculum of the Negro schools down to the lower grades, which has been done in this city and county, forces the lowering of the earning capacity of the Negro youth; and this, in the sum total, must effect the percentage record of the state. We believe that one of the most valuable assets of a state is an educated citizenry, and this should be given without regard to race, and it is to be hoped that the movement may carry, and that in a few years the disgraceful illiteracy rate of 8 may be reduced to 0. As a whole, Mr. Evans's address is a good one and will help the cause. Those of us who know Superintendent Evans, and who know what he has had to carry in building one of the finest school systems in the country; how hard and difficult his task has been in efforts to help the poor Negro teachers and schools, sympathizes with him in many of his expressions made before the "other folks" which would otherwise appear as "knocks" aimed at us. Knowing the man we take him at his real worth, I quote below the concluding paragraph in his address: "Why hesitate, gentlemen, on this question. Why let the old argument of the Negro question, our poverty, the hard times and other subterfuges stand between us and that prosperity that other nations and states enjoy? Let us start over and start right, and give every child, white and black, of every race, color and creed, without prejudice or stint, his inallenable right to an opportunity in this land of liberty to make of himself all that his Creator intended, all that the state and community need, and all that our christian consciences dictate that he should have. Will Not. Pass in which he gives it as his opinion that the bill aimed at white teachers' in Negro schools will not pass. This confirms my expressed opinion that Georgia is making progress. A further evidence of this is found in the refusal by the same body to exempt school endowments from taxation. The proposition came, in fact, from the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and had it succeeded would have been an open flagrant violation of the State Constitution. It was an attempt to raid the state treasury and "the complete separation of church and state" preachment would have vanished. Tribune Man Here The Savannah Tribune is striving to supply the need for a first class weekly newspaper for our people in this city. As an illustration of the demand for The Tribune the people were clamoring for it last week. A minister, pastor of one of the city churches, while visiting at the home of one of his members remarked that he would pay $5 for a copy, if need be, rather than not have last week's issue. Let the friends who wish to read the paper regularly send $1.25 directly and they will get it. But I started out to tell how I put one over the Destrek Skule people last Wednesday. I managed to get an invitation to their picnic. I did not get there until the afternoon, but, thanks to Mesdames Susie Trotty, Carrie Ryans, Dr. Carr and Mr. T. D. Ryans we received our share of good things, including the barbecue. I circulated among the members and their guests. Heard them say many good things for The Savannah Tribune and the Augusta correspondent in all of which we jobbed and yet my identity remained as mysterious as ever. I was a sort of "slenth" in the midst of as lovely set of women and many men as ever made up such a gathering. "And-Sambo waxed fat and kicked? Ask Charlie Stewart, he knows. Mr. Dave Williams was buried from Trinity Church last Sunday afternoon. He was a Knight, a member of the rank. He leaves a wife, three children, mother and brother with a large circle of friends to mourn his death: Rev. C. L. Bonner's "baby" rally at Trinity last Sunday netted $350. Good! Mr. Cornellus King, an old and respected citizen, died last week and was buried from Trinity Church of which he had been a member for a long period of years. Mr. Chas Turner, a former resident of this city, but who resided in Minneapolis, Minn. for the past 20 or more years, was buried from Harmony Church in this city last Tuesday afternoon, the remains having been brought here from his late home. Only a few months ago Mr. Turned journeyed to this city with the remains of his wife for interment. Mr. Turner was a Mason and was given a Masonic burial. Nearly every day records cutting or stabbing scraps among the Negroes. Hot weather and over-ripe watermelons seem to be getting in their work. The Vagrants The vagabons seem to have things their own way in these "dizzlings." They neither toil nor spin, yet they "dress up", shoot craps even on the public streets and fill the air with vulgar epithets, even in the very face of good women. Many of these loafers are youngsters still in their teens who would not accept employment at any wage. In many instances these idlers are provided food by their poor mothers, in many cases washer women who love (?) their sons into crime, and who deny themselves the ordinary comforts in order to feed and cloth these foul mouths, loafing rascals who not only are a disgrace to their families and to the race, but breed crime and disgrace and menace to the community. This class of young Negroes do not attend school or church, and for the good of the community and themselves as well, should be taken in hand by the proper authorities and put to work as the law provides. The man or woman who encourages his or her boy in idleness, becomes party to his crimes and must accept the stigma. The idea of the man or woman tolling hard daily feeding and clothing a sixteen or seventeen year old chap whose chief occupation is vagrancy and gambling. Compulsory education would not reach this class of youth, but the chain gang may. The Negroes are entitled, and so is the city, to relief from such deadly incubus. Such vagrants are dangerous; as a rule they steal even through burglary, and the Negro race is given full credit for their acts. Let our people quit shielding these criminals, but instead aid the proper officers of the law in their efforts to rid the community of them. Mr. James Pritchard, who has been confined to his home ill from a slight paralytic stroke, is able to be out Baptist Convention Last week, as noted, in these columns, the State Baptist Sunday School Convention and B. Y. P. U., met at Thankful Church herb. As is the case with all large gatherings of our people now a-days, whether church or fraternal, much is politics. Rev. P. James Bryant, pastor of the Wheat Street Church of Atlanta, had been president for 16 years and had built a powerful organization. He was defeated for re-election. Among the nominating speeches was one by a lad from Atlanta in favor of Rev. Bryant. In it he openly referred to the preachers as "whiskey drinkers" who wanted to get in position to steal the people's money. Instantly there was bedlam, and the preachers and their sympathizers pressed forward to get hold of the boy speaker, and there were all sorts of threats and menaces. Later it was by vote determined that the young speaker might remain in the meeting, but should have no further voice in the proceedings. To this he assented and the incident closed. Rev. Pinckney was re-elected president of the convention which meets in Savannah next July. Professor and Mrs. Washington of Voorhees academy, Denmark, S. C., are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Thos. D. Ryan, Gwinnett-street. Mrs. Washington is a cousin of Mrs. Ryan. She is a graduate of Atlanta University and has taught several years at the academy. Mrs. A. B. Berrien is spending the summer at Asheville, N. C. Mr. Thomas Williams, whose secreious illness was reported last week, died at his residence on Gwinnett St. last Wednesday.

Lindsay The resourceful mind of the founder of the National Negro Business League saw in it the future business possibilities of the race in this country and began the great work of organizing the Negro business men into small groups in every progressive community with the hope that these men and women thus organized might keep up an eternal warfare on indulence, thriftlessness, or any other such thing, as would cause men and women of the race to be careless and indifferent to the progress and enterprise brought into existence by brain and money furnished by members of the race. If Dr. Washington had done nothing else for the race other than organize the National Negro Business League, which inspired and encouraged the greater portion of the states in the union to fall in line and they in turn formed local community organizations, which, when properly followed up, and intelligently cared for have been, and are still now, so much to the community in which they are serving. I say, if he had done nothing else but this alone, this one act of his is indeed sufficient, in its self to crown him the constructive leader of the race. A Proof of the Statement Here in Savannah where the Negroes are forcing their way into the business arena as never before during all of the one hundred and eighty years or more they have lived here, much of their activity in this regard, is due, and can be traced to the inspiration gathered from the one man, yea, the wizard of Tuskegee, that optimistic man who made the race, as well as himself, famous in the good year of our Lord 1892, in the City of Atlanta when he turned to his Negro hearers and uttered these encouraging words: "Black men of the Southland, let down your buckets where they are". Admonition Heeded The black man of Savannah, which indeed is a historic portion of the Southland, has long since decided to let down his bucket right here and the, the surface of the deep blue business sea may be tears and brine, and because of these unfavorable conditions, the business coward would give up in despair, fainish and die for the want of business initiative, while the optimistic, yet determine business Negro in Savannah has decided to let down his bucket right here and draw fresh and sweet waters which come rushing down from the hills of the mighty Andes, which waters flow as an under current and can only be reached by the man, who possesses the long line of patience, securely fastened to the bucket of hope and drawn by the steady hand of determination. Negro Enterprises must Succeed When we think of what our enterprises are to the race in the way of furnishing employment to the deserving young men and women who are coming in great numbers each and every year from our various schools and colleges, and when we think of what Negro banks are to the community in the way of saving their homes and lifting mortgages, plus the prestige they give the race in the commercial world, and the tone and dignity they add to the race in a general way, then, we repeat that Negro enterprises in Savannah must succeed. What is true with regard to the enterprises mentioned above is true also of the insurance companies, drug stores, real estate dealers, or what not, yea, our businesses in this community must succeed. Negro Business League in Boston The local branch will hold only one more meeting which will be Wednesday evening, August 4th, before the National Negro Business League will hold its fifteenth, annual session in the City of Boston, where the organization was founded by Dr. Booker T. Washington, who has been unanimously elected as its president without a desenting vote for all of these years. Remarkable Record During the fourteen sessions which closed with the Muskogee meeting of 1914, it is said that there has never been a point of order raised by any one member on that of any other matter. Thus you can see, that the Negro Business League stands for what its name emplies. Come early next Wednesday evening and bid our delegate a hearty good luck. SOCIAL HAPPENING Mr. and Mrs. F. D.

COMMONWEALTH CIRCULAR NUMBER FOUR Sticking to Our Point We believe that the only way to organize and operate a gigantic business enterprise is to co-operate. This to us, seems the most reasonable argument in the world. Ninety of us with just a little business determination, within the past few months, have paid in $975.00. All of us are men and women of ordinary standing, who have chosen a few ambitious, honest, and experienced business men as our officers and leaders, and with them, we are making a strenuous effort to sell our remaining $00 shares at $5.00 each by Jan 1st, 1916. A good many of our share-holders have already been benefited thru our loan department, which is as simple and profitable as things ever get to be. We have several small-size but good real estate bargains which we do not care to publish. Among them a nice house in Springfield near Water works. Better come quick.
