The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX GANNING EXHIBIT AT STATE COLLEGE NEXT MONDAY MORNING U. S. Demonstrator Williams Holds Interesting Meeting at Statesboro—Much Progress Reported by Various Canning Clubs—Visitors Invited to Demonstration Monday. A canning demonstration will be held at the Georgia State College, Thunderbolt, on next Monday morning in connection with the farmers' institute. This will be the first demonstration by the Chatham County Canning Club, and much interest is being manifested in the meeting by the various members of the club. The demonstration will be held at ten o'clock in the morning and it is very likely that many persons from the city will go out to view the excellent specimens of canned goods that will be on display. Mrs. R. A. Miller of 1014 Montgomery street is chairman of the club and reports that the girls and young women who have taken an active interest in the work of the club have made an excellent showing in view of this being their first year's work. United States Demonstrator E. A. Williams, whose headquarters are at the Georgia State College, and who has charge of the canning clubs among Negroes in this State, will be present at the meeting and will conduct the various demonstrations. The public is invited to witness the interesting display of canned goods that will be shown. Several persons who are well versed in putting up canned goods will give in short talks, those present the benefit of their experience along this line. Coming at this particular time when every little bit saved is appreciated by every household, it is thought that many a housewife will go out to the college and learn more of this art which is so beneficial and which cuts down household expenses to the minimum. Demonstrator Williams has just returned from various points throughout the state, where he has been holding farmer' meeting. The largest meeting held his week was that of last Tuesday at Statesboro. This, meeting was held in connection with the summer school of Prof. Wm. James. Farmers from Bulloch and the adjoining counties were in attendance at the meeting. Diversification of crops was very interestingly discussed by Demonstrator Williams. His discussions were made very plain by the use of charts and the many farmers present were greatly benefited by what they were told. The farmers present subscribed 200 pounds of oats each to be given the Bullock county farmer who raised the largest yield of oats and wheat on an acre of land. The meeting was a decided success and among the many impressive lessons learned by the farmers was the necessity of diversifying their crops. There were several prominent speakers present, among them being Mrs. Clara Scott, State worker of Jeanne's fund; Prof. M. L. Bethel, of Tuskegee Institute; Mrs. Julia Arm-strong, Jeanne's Fund teacher of Bullock county; Mrs. A. Goodwin, of Paynes College, Augusta; and Dr. J. W. Gilbert of Au IMPORTANT NOTICE TO DELE GATES TO BUSINESS LEAGUE CONVENTION Boston, Mass., August 3—Delegates to the National Negro Business League convention are requested to have their mail directed to Headquarters of the Boston Business League, 121 Kendall street, Boxbury District, Boston, Mass.

What is nicer than, with a mind free from business cares, to take a long draughts of the reviving salt sea breezes and live for a whole afternoon close to the heart of nature's "Great Big Ocean".

FIRST BALE IN TOOMBS Lyons, Ga., Aug. 5—The first bale of cotton of the 1915 crop marketed in Toombs county was received at Lyons today. The bale was grown by John Arnold, an industrious colored farmer on the Dan Odom-plantation near the city. It weighed 410 pounds, was ginned free of charge by the W. C. Oliver ginnery and bought by J. P. Brown for ten cents per pound. The business men of the city gave the grower a premium of $10 for his enterprise in bringing the first bale of cotton to market this season. SOUTHERN UMBRELLA WORKS The Southern Umbrella Works at the corner of State and Drayton streets, of which Mr. Simon Bradley is proprietor, is in position to give to the public perfect satisfaction in recovering umbrellas, fitting keys and repairing locks. He also carries a full line of new locks. His motto is "Polite Attention and Quick Service". You will be benefited by calling on him when in need of anything in his line. DISTRICT GRAND LODGE NO. 18 OF ODD FELLOWS MEETS TUESDAY IN ATHENS SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, Pugent Paragraphs and Plain Talks Coming Home to Roost One of the most dangerous diseases of our country, especially of this section, is the infernal race prejudice. This hydra-headed monster has well nigh blighted our civilization, detrusted reason, and has become the shiboleth of the mighty. In utter disregard of law and the injunction thundered from Mount Sinai wherein man was advised to do unto his brother as he would have his brother do unto him, it has been the cankerous sore, ever eating at the very vitals of its propellers—the people who propagate it and hand it down to their children as a thing to be proud of. In the recent past the United States senator from this state, in the hall of Congress, when a democratic president had nominated a Negro for register of the treasury, declared that the defeat of the Negro was the paramount question before the Congress. The Negro, of course, went down and all Indian was given the office. It has given rise to the question whether the white man's religion is a thing to be believed in or patterned after; whether he can, in the true sense, be regarded as a desirable teacher and leader. But this obstacle should prove an incentive to the Negro people and inspire them with greater effort and energy in combating it. These thoughts were suggested by the reading of an labored editorial in one of the daily papers of this city deploring the rapid progress of prejudice against the Jews of Georgia growing out of the Leo Frank case. The editorial was a strong denunciation of course, and yet I was reminded that the present management of this paper, only a few years ago, gave much of its space to the abuse of the Negro. In other words the editor, figuratively speaking, 'ate' a Negro for breakfast, dinner and supper each day, and, each succeeding day, like Dickens' Oliver Twist, clamored for more. This the Negroes resented and soon the circulation of the aforesaid paper began to shrink. Then followed a modification of the rulous policy, for business reasons only, and the colored brother was invited to draw closer and was urged to come up to the help of the paper. So the chickens are now coming home to roost, and this same paper is appealing for tolerance and deploring the wave of race prejudice that has enveloped our state. Verily, God works in a mysterious way! He still reigns and the country will survive. Germany is playing fast and loose with your Uncle Samuel. Poor Mr. Wilson continues to protest and reiterate while German "subs" continue their deadly work. Nearly 200 Americans have been murdered and many more may meet a like fate. "Watchful waiting" encourages the slaughter. May the good Lord save our country. The feature of the preliminary exercises of the O. E. S. at McGregor hall last Tuesday night was the singing of the Cief Club. This club is composed of many of Augusta's fine musicians and singers, and they rendered only first class selections. Among the prominent Masons attendin- in the annual meeting of the Eastern Star were Dr. Butler of Atlanta, Grand Master; Editor Sol. C. Johnson, Savannah. The good ladies of the O. E. S. send out no "S. O. S." signals, but they certainly can take care of their affairs. An example to the men. The women, bless their souls, have charge of Augusta this week, and we are all on our good behaviour. And their meetings were conducted in business-like, manner. Who said they could not manage big affairs? But you know "Patron Saint" S. C. J. of Savannah, was in their midst. Every fellow here now wants to be a Mason. He was captivated by the lovely women, "me too". Who could resist it? Bishop L. H. Holsey of Atlanta spent several days in the city last week. The Bishop was for a long while a resident of this city, and Augusta will always delight to do him (Continued on last page) SATURDAY AUGUST 7TH 1915 Large Delegation Expected to go From Savannah—Several Candidates for Office of Grand Master—Meeting Opens Tuesday Morning with Public Exercise. Leaves Monday Odd Fellows from all over the state will be leaving Monday morning for Athens, Ga., to attend the Grand Lodge session which meets in that city. From all accounts there will be over 2,000 in attendance, including delegates and visiting members of the order, and a spirited session is anticipated. The recent decision of the Sub-Committee of Management on the affairs connected with the state has aroused practically the entire membership of the Order in Georgia and has caused their attention to be turned toward the approaching grand lodge session, for it is the opinion of many that propositions will be presented touching upon the recent decisions of the S. C. M. and every legal mean will be resorted to to have them passed by the grand lodge, while on the other hand, if such propositions are presented, there is no doubt that a stubborn opposition will be put up against their passage. It is also probable that a lively time will be had over the new $500 certificate in exchange for the present $300 policy. The issuing of these certificates has caused a great deal of dissatisfaction and it is thought that an attempt will be made to remedy it in some way. The Savannah delegation will leave Monday morning, at 7:45, city time, from the Central of Georgia station and will have special coaches attached to the regular train. Quite a number are expected to go and comfortable arrangements have been perfected for the trip. The delegation will arrive at Macon, Ga., at 1 p. m., at which point hundreds of delegates from all over the state will meet, forming one large delegation and going in a special train from there to Athens, arriving at Athens at 5:30 Monday afternoon. Much interest is being centered in the fight for the office of Grand Master. For months the aspirants for this office and their supporters have been working hard to place themselves prominently before the people. Regardless of the fact that it is unlawful for any candidate for office in the District Grand Lodge to announce his candidacy in the newspaper or public print, or cause same to be announced, there have been several articles published and circulars sent out which bore the signatures of certain aspirants for office. There are five mentioned candidates for the office of Grand Master, namely, the present grand master, B. S. Ingram of Macon, Ga., who is seeking re-election; Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, of this city; R. E. Pharrow, of Atlanta; and W. F. Satterwhite, of Albany. Each candidate from their expressions seems confident of winning and it is hoped that each will be given a fair chance. This will be the hottest contested office in the gift of the grand lodge, as it is not known whether there will be any opposition to the District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis. As far as can be ascertained, no one has as yet announced for that position, but there is a likelihood that an opposition will spring up, which probably will happen also with the other officers. Indications, however, point to the re-election of the district grand secretary. W. S. Roundfield of this city is also mentioned as a possible candidate for the mastership. The sessions will be held at Morton's theatre and will open Tuesday morning with public exercises. The parade will take place Tuesday afternoon and is expected to be a creditable representation of the Order. After the conclusion of the program the various committees will be appointed.

Welcome. Address in behalf of the City Government, Hon. W. F.

There was a large crowd on the wharf waiting for the steamer to sail but the management of the club thought it best in the face in such a wet and rainy afternoon to postpone the outing until Thursday Afternoon of next week, August 12th. While those who were on the boat did not relish the idea of having to forego the pleasure of the afternoon's sail, yet when the torrential rains began to fall and the skies in the direction of Daufuskele held out no cheer for them they were perfectly willing that the trip should be defarred. No doubt the large crowd of disappointed pleasure seekers who were ready to go with the "Grill" last Thursday will be greatly augmented next Thursday afternoon. The boat will leave foot of Abercorn street at 4:30 o'clock. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Plans and arrangements for the sixteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League to be held in Boston, August 18, 19, and 20 are rapidly nearing completion. At the opening session, Wednesday morning, August 18th, his Hon. James M. Curley, mayor of Boston, will deliver the address of welcome on behalf of the city. Wednesday evening, His Excellency, David I. Walsh, Governor of Massachusetts, will deliver the address of welcome on behalf of the commonwealth. The leading feature of the opening day of the convention will be the annual address of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the present of the National Negro Business League. Thursday August 19th will be known as "Cambridge Day." In the evening the Cambridge Business League will hold a monster reception in the State Armory across the Harvard bridge, in honor of the officers, delegates and visitors to the national convention, His Hon., Mayor Timothy W. Good, will welcome the convention to Cambridge. The Publicity Committee of the Boston Business League has just issued an attractive, elaborately gotten up picture poster 22x28, advertising the coming of the Business League Convention to Boston in August. Pictures of historic buildings and monuments, such as Faneuil Hall, Crispus Attucks monument and the famous Shaw memorial, by St. Gaudens, adore the poster. Arthur W. Lavalle, a Negro printer of 1973 Tremont street, Boston, printed the picture posters. Among the leading features that will characterize the social side of the big convention will be a trolley trip to historic points in and about Boston, including Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill. The trip will also include a trip to Harvard University, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Public Library, the famous Harvard Bridge expanding the Charles ricer, Longfellow park, and Longfellow home, Faneuil Hall, traditionally known as the Cradle of Liberty, and numerous other places of great historic, educational and artistic value and interest. The Citizens Committee which is in charge of this delightful, educational trolley ride has arranged to have a reception and light, refreshments for officers, delegates and visitors, immediately following the return from the trolley ride and sight-seeing tour.

STATE BARBER EXAMINERS HERE STATE BARBER EXAMINERS HERE SEVERAL SHOPS CLOSED UP Lack of Hot Water, the Charge Against Most Proprietors who Came Before Examiners—Solicitor's Office Too Small to Accommodate the Many Offenders. The arrival in the city this week of the state barbers' examiners has caused a flurry in tonsorial circles and yesterday morning it seemed, around the court house, as if there might have been going on a municipal barbers' election, so large was the crowd of tonsorial artist who, for some reason or other, were summoned before the board of examiners which was sitting in the solicitor's office but which, on account of lack of space to accommodate the various offenders, had to be transferred to the superior court room. All day yesterday the various cases of infraction of the recent barbers' laws by local barbers, which were detected by the state examiners, were tried. Some of them of minor consequence were dismissed with a reprimand while others more serious received a heavy penalty. Most of the barber shop proprietors who were hailed before the board were charged with not having hot water in their shops at all times, this being one of the state requirements. The members of the board were light on those who were guilty of this charge and dismissed the offenders, but those who were found to keep dirty places or who failed to provide their shops with necessary anticeptives met with little mercy. A few of the proprietors whose shops were found to be filthy and unsightly were ordered to close their places of business. Several shops were found to be operated without a license and in each instance the proprietor was turned over to the local authorities to handle. In one instance both the proprietor and his barber were found to have neglected to provide themselves with the necessary state license and were consequently harshly dealt with. Immediately upon reaching the city the members of the board went on a round of inspection and many of the proprietors not expecting a call from such distinguished personages were caught "mapping. A request by the inspectors for a little warm water to wash their hands was time after time met with the reply "The water is not quite hot yet." In all there were about fifty or more cases to be tried and the entire time of the board yesterday was taken up in disposing of them. Both white and colored barbers were among those who were halled before the board, the majority of cases being against the latter. AT THE Y. M. C. A. Sunday at the Y. M. C. A. will be a day long remembered. The principal address delivered by Dr. John E. Ellis of Wesley Monumental Church was pronounced by a large audience presence as one of the most inspiring and highly pitched addresses yet delivered at any of the associations meeting. The Y. M. C. A. quartette recently organized, made a fine impression on its initial appearance. Much improvement was also noticed in the chorus singing under the direction of Messrs John McIntosh, Jr., and Leroy Humbert. The Y. M. C. A. is indeed gratified to note the increasing attendance at each of the Sunday meetings. On Monday night, August 2, at the Y. M. C. A. room's over the Savannah Pharmacy, the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors was held. Much legislation of a constructive motive was effected. On tomorrow the principal feature will be a discussion, subject: "How to hold a job." The discussion will be led by Director and Insurance District Superintendent H. T. Singleton of the Ga., Mutual Insurance Company. Come out and give the men the benefit of your experience. The discussion will be opened to all On tomorrow night the association will present its work to the pastor and members of Mt. Zlon Baptist Church, West Broad and Waldburg lape. The public is cordially invited to be present. Do not forget the Sunday afternoon meeting on tomorrow at 5 p. m., at St. Paul G. M. E. Church, West Broad and Maple streets. All men are invited to be present. ll se ey ae y = “pps ae i eS a po iene : = a ue 6 ee, i ee a ee ae . . 7 : . . - ° .

The skirt was of fine white serze,-a bit scantier in width than the usual run of this, with a strip of broad white Hercules ata at the side seam, With thexe, she wore a broad, strat%ht-brimmed, blue chiffon sailor, with a scarf’ of the chiffon edged with beads for trim- ming, dubbed, for its keen rexemblance, the “Boy Scout.” We hear from Paris that the idea of two materials in one suit will be earriedl out in check and plain, and striped and plain worsteds; already there is a showing of these models by the exclusive shops. Unlike the seres, the coats of these snits are usually helted and are amply supplied with patch pockets, more like the khaki suits worn by soldiers. One model just received from the other side is made in this style, with a plain full skirt, The coat is of dark brown worsted and the skirt, collar, belt and cuffs of a two-toned brown check. - Enter the Hat of Italian Berigliere The suit is given the honor place in the window of one of our great depart- ment stores and with it is shown the hat of the Italfian’bersigiiere. Whether or not this hat will be popular remains to be seen. As it appears in black vel- vet, with highly tilted brim, stiff bigh crown and drooping cock’s plume at the side, it is a bit trying to the aver- age. It takes a daring person to wear it at the necessary forty-five degree slant to give it style, That Paris has taken it up is a fact, We hear from this city: “One of the very smartest little Parisiennes appgared a day or so ago at the Ambassadeurs wearing not only- the bersigiere hat with its flowing cock’s plume at the side, but also a frock of Tyrolian-striped taffeta, with 2 short, plain, surplice corsage in Italian green silk.” Bracelet Handbags The mode has remained somber al- eady too long.

These are usually in the gathered bage, The latest novelty is a black kid bag, with an imitation tortoise-shell frame | and bracelet to hold it by.

Then place under each caster of the bed a piece of rubber or a rubber’ overshoe or,get the caster in a thick glass dish. Taen go to bed, making sure the covers do not touch the wall. Thus the bed and yourself will be cut off from all electric contact with floor or wall. Such absence of electric = tact, it Is claimed, will make you sleep better.

Delaware’s Northern Boundary. ‘Why the northern boundary of Dela- ware sliould have been circular in form is often a source of wonderment. It came about in this way: After William Penn had obtained a grant of Pennsyl- vania he was desirous of owning the land on the west bank of the Delaware to the sea.

C. VIA SOUTHERN RAILWAY PREMIER CARRIER OF THE SOUTH WEDNESDAY AUGUST 11TH, 1915 Why laid in the northeast corner? This question was asked by a young-brother at one of our city lodge meetings a few evenings since, and there was not a brother present who would venture to answer. You have been kind and unkind enough into propound the same interrogatory to me and ask an answer for publication. I must confess that I am unable to give any substantial reason for the custom. It seems, however, to have been handed down from time immemorial, and has been observed by both fraternal organizations and Jews and Christians in the laying of corner-stones of houses of worship and lodge meetings. Masonic traditions tell us that Mount Moriah on which the foundation of the temple was laid, was a lofty hill, situated at the very northeast corner of the city of Jerusalem, having Mount Zion on the southwest, with the city of David and the King's Palace on its summit, and Mount Ara on the West, whereupon the lower city was built. The summit of the mountain on which the temple was built, although not very high, was exceedingly steep, especially that part on which the northeast corner of the temple rested. To secure a firm foundation and bring that part of it up to a level with the other portions of the foundation, required the construction of immense walls composed of mammoth blocks of stone. In consequence of the location of the temple it could not be reached by approaches from the northeast, consequently that locality became known in Masonic parlance, as "a place of darkness." If this tradition be true, no doubt this is isolated or private portion of the temple, as well at its adaptability for the purpose, suggested it as the proper location for the safety deposit of those Masonic relies that were brought to light when the children of Israel returned from their Persian captivity and commenced the erection of the second temple. As every intelligent Mason knows, our forms and ceremonies are of tradition, almost exclusively, and not of history. My opinion is that the custom of laying cornerstones of public buildings in the northeast corner is one, of tradition, and that it has its origin in the construction of King Solomon's Temple at Jerusalem. It was, doubtless, from this custom that the practice of placing the young Entered Apprentice in the north east corner of the temple originated. As the northeast corner of the temple was regarded as a place of darkness, the young Apprentice is therefore placed in that position, while his mind is in Masonic darkness, to receive his first instructions on which to erect his future Ma- Masons are born, not made, says Bro. Frederick Speed; and it is unfortunately true that the more degrees conferred upon some men the further they are from attaining the Masonic ideal; the inspiration is lacking, and no amount of schooling will supply it. Other men grasp Masonry and cling to it, and their whole being seems to be permeated with it. The husk is necessary to the growth of the ear of corn, but is is valueless as food for man. So it is with those who either lack the inclination of mental capacity to pursue the study of Masonry beneat and beyond the elementary instruction which is afforded by the repetition of degrees, however beautiful they may be. The real value which sustains and gives life to Masonry is not to be found in that which covers the ear, but in the ear itself, and unless we search beneath the mere outward shell for the corn which alone gives life and strength we fall to receive the true inspiration. Importance of Master Mason's Degree An Arkansas Grand Orator thus accentuates the truth which cannot be too often nor too forcibly impressed upon the minds of Masons and profanes. "Every truth of Masonry—every principle or precept necessary to make the true and complete Mason and complete in the fullest sense, is found in the three degrees of the blue lodge. In no degree of the Order, be it termed high or low, will the seeker ever find one so impressive, awe inspiring and so stately as that of the Master's degree." It is to be regretted that the idea prevailes, within and without the fraternity that craft standing or dignity depends largely upon the number of degrees taken. The late T. S. Parvin, though he achieved to the highest eminence in all the extraneous branches grafted upon the Ancient Craft, was always consistent in holding that Masonry was burdened rather than benefited by the luxuriant upper growth. The unfortunate feature is that the numerical degrees are thought of as in ascending series, each addition giving continuous development to the fundamental truths. It is considered that these stamp the grade of Masonic learning as would the scholastic degrees. Many good men who are attracted with most sincere motives toward the fraternity, refuse to make application because of this mistaken idea. They lack the means, perhaps, to carry them through the various branches and have formed the opinlon that to be "only a third degree Mason" is not worth the effort. All the degrees of all the Rites have in them features that will appeal to some of their recipients. But in no other than the symbolic degrees will the 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. "It's a far cry" from sentiment to business. This is the age of specialized selling methods and the Colored merchant must "fall in" or "fall out." The difference between the business which is "mighty fine" and "just so-so" is the difference in merchandising methods. We can help you to put your business into the "mighty fine" class.

In these lean and spare times when every household is skimping and cutting in order to make ends meet, the formation of any sort of organization which will help, along home economy should be welcomed with opened arms. Several years ago we were told that household necessities in the line of food would be cheaper, but to day we find these commodities at the highest point for the past fifty years. Mothers have cut down the meal to a minimum and yet the pinch of the lean times is being felt. In many instances they have split in half the meat allowance per week, but still the preserves for the children and for father once and a while are costing too much and must be shaved a little or they will grace the supper table. How is mother to meet this situation? The children crave for the preserved fruit and father when he gets a snack at it, is all smiles. Let mother do as grandmother used to do in years gone by, put up her own fruit and the problem is solved. If she doesn't understand the art of preserving fruit, let her attend the coming demonstration which is to be given at the State College next Monday morning and see how easy it is to furnish her household with her own preserves. It is a very handy art and one which all housewives should know. The many infractions of the state barbers' laws which were unearthed here this week by the members of the state board of barbers and the heavy penalties inflicted in the more serious cases will undoubtedly cause the proprietors of tonsorial parlors to be more careful about the sanitary conditions surrounding their places and will, if the laws are enforced impartially, afford the public that kind of service which it deserves. Many of the cases which came up before the board were very interesting and ranged from the trivial up to those of most serious import to the public. The majority of cases, of course, were of a minor nature but even they were of sufficient importance to the public health to be brought up for correction by the board, for it is the little faults and minor defects in our sanitary surroundings in such public places as barbershops which the average person fails to observe at all, or if he does detect them he feels that they are not of sufficient importance to effect his health. A few of the cases which came up before the board were of such gravity that the offenders will doubtless be harshly dealt with, and rightly so too. In several instance it was shown that the shops in question were filthy and veritable breeding places for disease. The law strikes pointedly at the discontinuation of such hovels and the sooner these places are wiped out the more safe-guarded will be the general life of the community. Prior to the visit of the board here about three months ago unsanitary barbershops were to be found in many sections of the city. Their first inspection closed up most of these dirty joints and it is hoped that this week's tour of inspection will seal up the doors of the remainder for all time to come. --- In this age of proscription and curtailment, when, with each swinging of the pendulum, some effort is seemingly put forth to relegate our people to the rear or to place the badge of inferiority upon us, any utterance savoring of a square deal and fair chance for our people can but be of more than passing notice to us, especially if such an utterance is the product of the mind of one of the opposite race. However when such an utterance comes from the lips of one who is not only a Sutherner, but a young Southerner at that, one of the new school, who too often has been pictured as the genuine and implacable foe to Negro endeavor, we cannot fail to call the attention of our people to the same. In this regard, therefore, we are pleased to call the attention of our readers to the masterly address of Rev. John R. Ellis, delivered on last Sunday at the Young Men's Christian Association Sunday afternoon meeting. Addressing the large audience of men present not as colored men, for whom it is generally supposed a special address is always necessary, but as men whose inner strivings are as lofty as those of any other people, the speaker gave no little inspiration to them in his appeal to them to aspire for the higher and nobler things of life. How true, as was said by him, are the members of our race too prone to be imitators of others rather than creators themselves! In so being, it is a fact that all of the creative genius in us atrophies. The speaker was altogether right in his contention that a race of absolute imitators always occupy a secondary place in the world's great civilization. Imitation of others when indulged in for the sole purpose of evolution of force or idea, is all well and good. But, whenever the same is practiced in ape or monkey fashion, with no other purpose save to do what the other fellow does without a view of improvement upon the other fellow's idea, then the imitator becomes a mere atomaton in life's great civilization. What the Negro race needs to cultivate to day more than any thing else, is individuality of thought and action. This must be had if we are ever to attain unto the standard of the group life of the present great American civilization and citizenship. The world to day is crying for new ideas. Original thinkers and doers are in demand. A fitting compensation awaits the man or woman, it matters not of what race, who can do what the other fellow has not done or been able to do. This applies to the Negro race as well as to any other. Speaking as a young Southerner of experience and observation, so far as Negro life is concerned, Rev. Ellis touched the heart string of each man present at the Y. M. C. A. meeting of last Sunday when he made dramatic appeal to them to launch out for themselves and do more of a constructive nature for the world's greater civilization of which they are a part. The address of Rev. Ellis was indeed both timely and inspiring and there is not a scintilla of doubt that it will go a long way toward making our people the wonderful asset which they must seek to be in the great civilization of the present day. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEK LY LETTER Among the many commendable things which are being so helpfully accomplished by the Negro business element here, is that they seem determined to side tract the man or set of men, if he or they can be found with a search light, who attempt to sow the seed of discord and who may be so thoughtless and careless of the race's best interest as to say or do those things which would prove hurtful rather than helpful. In other words, we have learned that almost any idiot can destroy, but it takes a man with brains, energy, enthusiasm and determination, to lay well a business foundation and successfully build thereon. Opposition is the Great Lever Opposition is the Great Lever Which raises the determined man up and enables him to dis-cover himself, see his short-comings, defects and the leakages in his business and suggests the needed remedies to be applied, as no other agencies have been known to do. Therefore, our advice to the struggling young Negro business man is do not dispair when you are face to face with vexing problems and stubborn oppositions. Opposition has Helped Others Opposition has helped Others The Negro business element in this community is not an exception to this general sweeping rule. The great merchant princes of this country, such as John Wanamäker, Marshall Field and others, met opposition when their businesses were in their swadling clothes, as many, yea, the most of our businesses are today; but these great men engaged in their special lines, made them their life's study. This is exactly what the Negro man engaged in business must do. We must be proud of our enterprises (not haughty), we must give to them our time and our most intelligent attention, realizing at all times that in the same proportion as we take care of our enterprises, in the same proportion will our enterprises take care of us. The Practical Man The practical business man has long since learned that no business can be operated successfully without having at its head a man who is able to plan for its successful operation, together with the co-operation and confidence of the operatives, as well as those whom the business seeks to serve. c An Age of Practicalities This is exactly the age in which we live. The business man of to day is looking for the practical man in all things. That man who can bring things to pass. That man who can make friends for his business; that man who can give him a greater increase in his volume of business done in the good year of our Lord\1915 than he was able to show for 1914. This cold blooded business, man which the world holds, in such high esteem, cares but little where the result getter came from and what school he may have attended or how long he stald in school, but the question with the practical business man is can you deliver the goods? Young Negro Men Must Answer. Young Negro Men Must Answer. It is this question which is giving the Negro Business League of Savannah so much concern. This is the question which confronts us at every turn of the road. This is the question which is being asked by every Negro business man engaged in business in Sayannah. This is the question that the young Negro youth fresh from school must answer, not only must he answer this question as it is being propounded to him by the Negro Business man here in his own home town, but he must answer it wherever he may chance to go seeking employment at the hands of the cold blooded practical business man, in whose code of business ethics is one of his essential rules, the propounding and the satisfactory answering of this all important question, namely: "Can you deliver the goods?" Right Kind Hard to Find.. Right Kind Hard to Find. Is exactly what a certain Negro business man said to another a few days since, when he was asked why he did not expand his business? This man said, that so far as the demand for and his ability to expand his business were concerned, there was no question, but his present and only draw-backs were, the right kind of young men to put in charge of his financial interests. While we are not calamity howlers and in fact, have no patience with them, the truth to tell, is we consider this an awful indictment against many of the young men in Savannah, who depend upon their mothers and sisters to eke out a living for them from the wash tubs, while they are walking around. Here is a man with ample capital and a growing business demanding expansion, and a score or more of young men walking around the streets looking wise and important, brim full of theory, sad to say, tho true, with no practical idea about business and as a result of which, this much of race's business progress must be stopped, all because the right kind of young men can not be found to handle practically a growing and paying business of a hard headed, cold blooded, business man. Young men, be warned, as the business world today is calling for men and not things. At our next meeting which will be Friday evening, August 20th, our delegate to the National Negro Business League, Boston, Mass., will report to us in person, the doings of that great body of Negro business adepts and tell us how it all happened. Be on time to hear him. MISS WRIGHT ENTERTAINED Complimenting Miss Mabel Wright of Atlanta, the attractive guest of Mrs. Ethel Williams, Miss Hattie M.

Handy, chairman Glaciers in Nebraska. Many of the physical features of eastern Nebraska were produced by sheets of ice that invaded the region during and after the earlier stages of the great ice age. At the opening of the glacial epoch the great Keewatin glacier spread southward and covered large parts of the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa and extended thence into eastern Nebraska, where it was probably several hundred feet thick. This first stage of glaciation was brought to a close by the melting of the ice in a warmer interglacial time or stage the Aftonian. WE LOAN MONEY A remarkable assemblage of animals invaded the region after the ice had disappeared, and the bones and teeth of many of these animals have been found in the Aftonian deposits of western Iowa. The late Professor Samuel Calvin identified the remains of horses, camels, stags, elephants, mastodons, mammoths and sloths. When these animals lived in western Iowa the climate there must have been comparatively mild and vegetation very abundant.-Geological Survey Bulletin. Trollope's Cigars. Anthony Trollope prided himself on having reduced the writing of novels—and good novels—to something like a mechanical process, devoting to the work so many hours a day and timing himself to an output of so many words an hour. His advice to the literary aspirant was to glue himself to his seat and write, but he himself had another source of inspiration. SMALL loans are a feature of this bank.

Walpole, Knight of Garter. Walpole, Knight or Garter. When Sir Robert Walpole was installed knight of the garter in 1726 he was the only commoner, with one exception, to whom the honor had been given since the reign of James I. The honor apparently was regarded as so great that Walpole had to apologize for his audacity, which he did in this fashion: "Is ambition imputed to me? Why, then, do I still continue a commoner—I who refuse a white staff and a peerage? I had, indeed, like to have forgotten the little ornament about my shoulders which gentlemen have so repeatedly mentioned in terms of sarcastic obloquy. But, surely, though this may be regarded with envy or indignation in 'another place,' it cannot be supposed to raise any resentment in this house, where many may be pleased to see those honors which their ancestors have worn restored to the commons."—London Chronicle. Poisons In Warfare. There are many substances which may be employed to poison or asphyxiate an enemy, either by tempering the wind or by use in projectiles. Hydrocyanic acid, known as prussic acid, is so poisonous that a mere breath of it means instant death. Sulphuric anhydride when brought in contact with air combines rapidly with moisture absorbed from the air, producing sulphuric acid. Thrown in a bomb with just explosive charge enough to disrupt the bomb and scatter the sulphuric anhydride, the air for a large space about the explosion would be at once converted into a dense fog of sulphuric acid. Liquid ammonia similarly employed would instantly so fill the atmosphere with ammonia as to strangle all persons in the immediate vicinity.—Brooklyn Eagle.

A tiny mouse who lived near the house of a magician begged him to save her from the cat, of whom she lived in deadly terror. So the magician changed the mouse into a cat, and she went away delighted. In a few days, she came back again in terror. "Oh, save me, save me now from the dog," she begged. And the magician changed her to a dog. A few days more and back she came, this time in deadly fear of a tiger. "Nonsense," said the magician. "You have only the heart of a mouse, and afraid you will always be. It is the heart that tells."

Mica mining in the United States started early in the nineteenth century, in New Hampshire, which state supplied all the domestic production until about 1868, when mining was started in North Carolina and subsequently in other states. At present the greater part of the sheet mica is used in the electrical industry, and most of the scrap mica is ground for use in the decorative trade, especially in wall paper. The Helping Hand.

DEATH The many friends of Mrs. Rebecca Brown will regret to learn of her death, which occurred on last Thursday night about 10 o'clock, at her late residence, 427 Guerard street after an illness of some length. She was born at Pooler, Ga., and was 52 years old. She was well known here and enjoyed the confidence of a large number of friends, having spent practical her entire life in this city. She was a christian and an untrifling worker in the First A. B. Church for a number of years, from which place she will be buried on tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. She had been in the employment of the Central railroad for 32 years which position she held until recently when she was forced to give it up on account of sickness. She was a member of Willing Workers Golden Circle which organization will attend the funeral in a body. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Mary Jones and Miss Charles Etta Harden and one son, Mr. Jos White. Miss Susie Lloyd, daughter of Mrs. Charity Lloyd, died last Saturday af- ternoon at 2 o'clock. The funeral took place Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the Rev. W. Bolivar Davis officiating. ST. PHILIP A.M. E. CHURCH Sunday at eleven o'clock Rev. R. H Singleton, pastor, was the Lord's messenger. The attendance was good and the music by the junior choir was excellent. The text was I Sam 18:11, "An it came to pass, when He had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was nift with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul." Much interest was manifested on the part of the congregation. There was one baptized at this service and four given the right hand of fellowship. The Sunday school at 3:00 was well attended, having a short session on account of the communion service which began at 4:00 o'clock. Rev. F. L Lash was the speaker at this service. The evening service beginning at 8:15 Rev. Singleton electrified his audience in the delivery of a sermon which was the first of a series of twelve sermons on the twelve tribes of Israel. The text was Gen 49:27, "Benjamin shall rove as a wolf; in the morning he shall devour the prey and at night he shall divide the spoils. The 46 classes in the church are divided into the 12 tribes and the members composing the various tribes are requested to take front seats on the night of the sermon to their respective tribes. Last Sunday night those composing the tribe of Benjamin took front seats. Tomorrow night those composing the tribe of Joseph will take front seats. All bible students and Sunday school workers should not miss any of the links in the chain. The public is cordially invited to attend all of the services tomorrow. AT THE SAVANNAH GRILL CLUB On last Tuesday evening Miss Reta W. Evans gave a delightful birthday party at the Grill Club and her many friends enjoyed a pleasant evening. Many hand-one presents were received The ladies were becoming attired. Miss Evans will leave on Saturday for Augu- ta to spend a while with Miss G. Giles. CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our thanks to the many friends for their kindness during the illness and death of Miss Susie Lloyd. Charity Lloyd W. H. Lloyd A Roman Dinner. A Roman dinner at the house of a wealthy man consisted chiefly of three courses. All sorts of stimulants to the appetite were first served up, and eggs were indispensable to the first course. Among the various dishes we may instance the guinea hen, peasant, nightingale and the thrush as birds most in repute. The Roman gormands held peacocks in great estimation, especially their tongues. Macrobius states that they were first eaten by Hortensius, the orator, and acquired such repute that a single peacock was sold for 50 denarii, the denarius being equal to about eightpence halfpenny of English money.—Chambers' Journal. Felding Linen In Holland. Folding linen is an accomplishment in which each one of the women in Holland is expected to be proficient before she becomes mistress of a home. In, Holland especially the folding of linen requires considerable skill and training. Much of their fabric is of the finest texture and quality, and they fashion the various pieces in ironing into birds, animals, flowers and all manner of artistic shapes. Their linen closets are often shown to visitors with the same pride that china closets are shown elsewhere. Driving the Fact Home. There are various methods, diplomatic or brusque, of notifying an unsatisfactory employee of his dismissal. The most picturesque and original of methods was that which Uncle Jimmy Gilbert used to use in his printing office. When a new man came Uncle Jimmy drove a nail in the wall for him to hang his hat and coat on. Some morning the man would come to work and find the nail driven in up to the head. He knew that he was through then. Mild Result. The courtroom was crowded. A wife was seeking divorce on the grounds of extreme cruelty and brutally abusive treatment. The husband, was on the stand undergoing a grueling cross examination. The examining attorney said: "You have testified that your wife on one occasion threw cayenne pepper in your face. Now, sir, kindly tell us what you did on that occasion." The witness hesitated and looked confused. Every one expected that he was about to confess to some shocking act of cruelty. But their hopes were shattered when he finally blurted out: "I sneezed!"—Everybody's. Her $ ^{2} $Identity. "She isn't, for I know her, and she's a black, black, Sugars, Exchange."

Browning himself couldn't always explain his meaning at first reading. Dr. Furnivalli, founder of the English Browning society, frequently consulted the poet as to the meaning of some passage in his works. "Bless me," Browning would say, "I really have forgotten what I did mean, and as I haven't got a copy of my works by me I really can't enlighten you. Just lend me the book, there's a good fellow. I'll look it over at my leisure and try to find out what was in my mind at the time." The Human Kind "Father," said little Johnny, "how big do sponges grow?"

An antelope is as curious as a woman. If the hunter will lie down in the grass and wave a red handkerchief a band of antelopes will keep circling around until within reasonable distance for a safe shot. After completing a circle the antelopes halt suddenly and bring down one fore foot with a vigorous stamp on the ground, and at the same instant they make a sort of snort that sounds like a half whistle. That is the propitious moment for peppering them with rige balls.—Exchange. Henty's Young Critic G. A. Henty, the writer for youth, frequently got letters from admirers all over the world asking for his autograph and offering criticisms of his books. In a story of the peninsular war he made two boys disguise themselves by staining their faces with iodine. Shortly after the book was published he received a letter from a boy, who said he was a chemist's assistant, stating that while that special incident was represented as taking place in 1808 iodine was not discovered until 1811, three years later. Hats Off to the Flag. "The greatest tribute I ever saw paid to the stars and stripes," says Colonel Payson Bradley, past commander of the Massachusetts Grand Army, "was not oh American soil. When the Ancient and Honorable Artillery landed at Liverpool on its visit to England in 1896 the line of march was crowded with over 100,000 persons. When we unfolded Old Glory we were struck with surprise at the choirs which went up from those English people. As we marched along every man, from the Prince of Wales to the lowest bootblack, took off his hat while the stars and stripes passed. I would like to see that happen once in Boston or New York before I die."—Boston Record. Her Very Clear Thoughts. "Well, amy, what are your thochts about marryin'?" asked a young woman in Scotland the other day of her aunt, a decent body who had reached the shady side of life without having committed matrimony. "Deed, lassie," frankly replied the old lady. "I've had but three thochts about it a' my days, an' the last is like to be the longest. First, then, when I was young, like yourself', I thocht, 'Wha'll I tak?' Then, as time began to wear by, I thocht, 'Wha'll I get? An' after I got my leg broken wi' that whumel out o' Saunders McDrunthie's cart my thochts syne hae bin, 'Wha'll tak' me?" The Hat. The modern hat can be traced back to the, petnurss worn by the ancient Romans when on a journey, and hats with brims were also used by the earlier Greeks. It was not until after the Roman conquest that the use of hats began in England. A "hatte of blever," about the middle of the twelfth century, was worn by one of the nobles of the land. Froissart describes hats and plumes which were worn at Edward's court in 1340, when the Garter order was instituted. The merchant in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" had on his head a Flanderish beaver hat, and from that period onward there is frequent mention of "felt hattes." Patroness of Music The origin of music is lost in antiquity. Among civilized people it is probably to be traced to the ancient Egyptian priests, who employed this art in their religious rites and ceremonies. From the Egyptians the Greeks and the Romans derived their knowledge of music. The ancient Hebrews probably took with them into Palestine some of the songs they had learned in Egypt. The hymns used in the temple formed the basis of the melodies of the early Christian church, and from these hymns was formulated the first authoritative musical system. St. Cecilia is termed the patroness of music—Exchange. FARM LANDS of an ideal life. Does it a in the quiet country, bro chickens—the next to na existence. It is the life i joyable.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH After ten nights of prayer, which ended on Saturday night, the first ser- mon of our great midsummer revival was preached by Rey. J. W. Jackson, D. b. of Atlanta, Ga, at the eleven o'clock service. It was very powerful and full of the spirit. The service was very largely attended by the members and friends. The Sunday,school met at its usual hour and had 2 great meet- ins, at which the attendance wits very good. The B. ¥, P. U. met at seven oclak. the meeting was led by G. W. Smith, aud the topic for the evening wax discussed by the members and friends at length. At the evening ser- vice Rey. Jackson preached another powerful sermon, after which the pase tor opened the doors of the church for the reeeption of members, many came and knelt for prayer. The special choir of over at hundred yoices sang at both services and the songs were very appropriate for the occasion, ‘The choir will continue to render good se- lections for the rest of the meetings. You are cordially invited to come and lielp us in this battle against sin and the devil.

Ex. 2%, 4, 5a—Commentary Propared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. When we hear Jeroboam saying in his heart, “Now shall the kingdom re- turn to the house of David, * * * they shall kill me and go again to Reho- boam, king of Judah” (verses 26, 27), and remember that God had sald to him if be would walk in His ways and 6 right in His sight, He would be with him and build him a sure house (zi, 37, 89), we cannot see any evidence in Jeroboam of any faith in God or any heart for Him, When he took counsel and made the calyes of gold and set them up at Bethel and Dan for Israel to worship, saying, “Behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt” (verses 28, 29), he proved himself an {dolator and a Mar und a true elilld of the devil. He pre- ferred his own way to God's way, darkness rather than light, the service of the devil rather than that of God. His sacrifices and his teasts, his altar end his incense, were all the device of his own heart (vérse 33), and it is written of him again and again through all the story of the ten tribes, “Jero- Doam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.” He never turned from his evil way, but did worse and worse, and ufter reigning twenty-two years he died and was succeeded by his son Nadab, who followed in his father's footsteps (xiv, 20; xv, 25. 26). Rebo- boam reigned in Judah seventeen Fears, but he also did evil In the sight of the Lord, and led the people Into idolatry“and into all the abominations &f the nations which the Lord cast out | before the children of: Israel (xiv, 21-" 24). | ‘This Is a story of long ago,,but 1s be {ug repeated on all sides before our eses today, and as truly as the tine came When both the ten tribes and the two tribes went into captivity for their sins, so the time will come, Is even now drawing near, when the Lord will spue out of Ills mouth the professing church because of her sins and set up His kingdom of righteousness and peace on this earth (Rev. ili, 14-22). ‘The church, the company of believers, is expected to represent Jesus Christ on this earth, as Isracl was crpected to represent the Lord God of Israel; to walk in His ways and do right In Bis sight. From the beginning God has wrought by His Spirit and His word and His own power. Thus He created all things In the beginning, and thus He restored all things after the catastrophe (Gen. 1, 1; il, 3; Ps. xxxill, 6). In all the history of Israel He re- deemed, He fed, He gulded. He said to His apostles, “It ts not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you” (Sfatt, x, 20). It is written of Stephen, “They were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which be spake” (Acts vi. 10). ‘When we consider the worldly abom- fnations which are found 3n the churches of our day and the false tenching, such as the denial of the vir- gin birth, the deity of Christ, His vicarious atonement (Els suffering for our sing in our stead), His Iteral resur- rection from the dead, present mintstry of Intercession for His peopte, and coming again for His own and later with His oivn to set up His kingdom, does ft not seem as if many ‘of the leaders of our day are, with thelr in- creased Mght, worse in their {dolatry and unbellef than were Jeroboam and Tehoboam? In all ages God has had His own faithful ones, though always only a few comparatively. One day as Jeroboam stood by his altar at Bethel to burn incense there came a man of God out of Judah with a message from the Lord, and he said that one would come from the house David, called Jo siah, who would burn the bones of the false priests upon that altar; and as a sign that it would be so the altar was then rent and the ashes senttered. Jeroboam attempted to lay ‘hold of the man of God, but his hand dried up, and he could not draw it back again until the man of God prayed for | him, Then he asked the man of God to go home with him that he might re- fresh him with food and give him a reward; but he replied that he was, charged by the Lord not to do this. Shortly after this an old prophet of Bethel, who had been told by bis eons of this incident, saddled his ass and found the man of God sitting under, an oak and Invited him home, but the man of God replied as he did to Jero- boam. ‘Then the old prophet said that an angel*had told him to come for him and to bring him home. ut the | old man led.) To this the man of God yielded and went home with the old prophet. [As they sat at table a strange English Military Offenses. ‘There are more than a dozen differ ‘ent offenses for which a soldier may be sentenced to death while on active service. The first on the lst of death offerises applies to a commanding offi- cer and reads, “Sbamefully delivering up a garrison when in command of troops, without due necessity—punish- ment, death.” A soldler can be shot for throwing away his rifle or sword in the presence of the enemy, for cow- ardice or for leaving his commanding officer in order to plunder, If he forces is way past a sentry on active serv- ice he may be sentenced to death or for assaulting any one bringing up pro- vislons for the troops. A soldier 1s éx- pressly forbidden while on active serv- ice to commit any offense against a resident of the country in which be 1s fighting under pain of death, nor may he break into any house in search of plunder or discharge his rifle intention- ally to create a false alarm on the march. A soldier while acting as sen- try who is found sleeping at bis post may be shot. Any man causing or joining in a mutiny fs:liable to be shot. Degertion or attempt at desertion while on active service is naturally a death offense.—London Opinion. ec * ‘What Is the purpose of dreams? Dr. Isador H. Corlat answers the question thus in “The Meaning of Dreams:”" It can be shown through dream anal: ysis that dreams subserve a definite function in our mental life in that they really act as protectors and not ns dls. turbers of sleep. ‘This guardianship of sleep by means of dreams Is due to the persistent dynamic action of the cen- sor. In sleep the censor fs exceeding: ly active, and its function is to protect sleep from the mass of repressed emo tions which threaten to overwhelm the sleeper in the shape of a dream. ‘This 4s done by means of the dream mecha- nisms, in which the dream thoughts are fused and displayed, thus under- going such disguise and symbolization as to be unrecognizable to the sleeper and consequently not disturbing to him. When the censor nods or fs evad- ed,- when the literal dream thoughts bombard and invade consciousness In an ‘undisguiscd form, sleep is disturbed and insvamia results. Benjamin Harrison. “Do you think,” Benjamin Harrison ence asked Louis T. Michener, b: campaign manager, “that I am a col. man?" ‘ “I don't think so," General Michenex answered, empliasizing the pronoun, “because I am acquainted with you, but persons do say that I am the only living man who hasn't been chilled by a Harrison cold blast. I understand your habits and your moods, and when you pass me in the street and don't speak to me I know the reason.” “Well,” Harrison replied, “I do get into a subject when I am thinking about it and at such times may seem a little blind and distant.” “But Benjamin Harrison,” Genera! Uichener told the writer of this arts cle, “was not a cold man, No man is cold whom children and dogs love, and all the children and dogs of Indian. apolls knew Benjamin Harrison. He saw them alfays, and they saw him.” —New York Sun. iii eins Puiacea ‘The distinction between agate and onyx {s not apparent to every one, as 4s indicated by the samples of the two minerals received by the United States geological survey with requests for in: formation.

Trick of the Smugglers. Russla was once overrun with coun- terfelt notes. The police felt certain that the notes were imported, which Proved to be the case. One day an accident solved the mystery.

Phone3031 CO-OPERATION AND EFFICIENCY TO BE KEY NOTE OF NATIONAL MEETING IN BOSTON EVERY SECTION ENTHUSIASTIC Boston Mass.What it was officially announced through the press that the National Negro Business League would celebrate its fifteenth anniversary in conjunction with the Boston meeting which is to be held August 18th, 19th and 20th, it attracted more than ordinary attention. All along the line our business men began a sort of self-searching—inventory as it were—and letters which flooded the offices of the president and secretary indicate to that extent the business interests of the race are "getting off the defensive" and getting unto the progressive. As one writer said to Secretary Scott: "When I read the announcement of the Fifteenth Anniversary it gave me a feeling somewhat similar to that I used to experience when I taught school way back in the early days and looked out and saw the superintendent driving up in his buggy. I'd begin to straighten around and get the scholars in attitude of hard work. That's the way I felt when I read about this Boston meeting. I started to straighten around the store, look over my books and compared notes to see if I had made any substantial progress since joining the league." This writer expressed in a general lay the nation-wide feeling among Negro business men and women as the time approaches for the meeting. And the figures published by the league showing the increase in business establishments since the organization of the league in 1900 has added impetus to this feeling of self-searching and "taking-stock". It is certain that the number of business men who assemble in Boston will leave there with a new new determination to put into active execution the following three-fold idea: more business enterprises to be established; more efficiency in business, and greater co-operation. Reports from the various sections of the country indicate that the attendance this year will surpass all previous meetings. Mr. W. P. Burdell of East Orange, New Jersey, who has charge of the arrangements in New Jersey, writes: "I am working night and day on the various phases of the publicity work in connection with the delegation from my state and we are all pulling for this to be a great meeting in every way. The New Jersey business men's party is being rapidly formed and it looks as if in this special party there will be at least one hundred persons." Similar reports have been received from Washington, D. C., the Carolinas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and the several centers where the delegations are being assembled. COLORED TEACHER GETS $3,000 POSITION IN CHICAGO Dr. A. J. Carey, formerly principal of the colored public schools of Athens, was this last past week appointed by Mayor William* Hale Thompson, of Chicago, to the position of Investigator of Claims. This is one of the best positions in the gift of the mayor and carries a salary of $2,000 per year. Dr. Carey was well known throughout this section of the state and his many friends among both races will be pleased to hear of his success in Chicago where he is now well and favorably known—Athens (Ga.) Banner. Gold In Ancient Rome. William Jacob in his "History of the Precious Metals" estimates from the accounts given by the Roman writers that in the reign of Augustus, the first of the emperors, when Rome was at the height of its power, the amount of gold in the Roman empire was nearly $2,000,000,000. This vast treasure had been gathered chiefly by conquest from various nations of Europe, Asia and Africa. There had been extensive mines in Spain and in the Atlas mountains of north Africa, but their yield in the wealth of kings and of cities in Asia and Egypt had been despoiled and carried away to enrich the conquerors. The Bridal Wreath. The bridal wreath is usually formed of myrtle branches in Germany. It is made of orange blossoms in France as well as in the United States. In Italy and the French cantons of Switzerland it is of white roses. In Spain the flowers of which it is composed are red roses and pinks. In the islands of Greece vine leaves serve the purpose, and in Bohemia rosemary is employed. In German Switzerland a crown of artificial flowers takes the place of the wreath. CONSCIOUS VIRTUE Conscious virtue is the only foundation of all happiness, for riches, power, rank or whatever, in the common acceptance of the world, is supposed to constitute happiness will never quiet, much less cure, the inward pangs of guilt.—Lord Chesterfield. Men with furrowed brows, careworn features, gray hair and stooped form, are living evidences of the truthfulness of the word of the Lord to our first parents that if they violated His holy law they would die. Death is a tax levied upon man by sin, of which the Lord gave him due notice before his transgression. The tax is a debt, and the obligation must be settled. It is said, "Man dieth and wasteth away, yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?" Notice, it is man who dies and wasteth away, and giveth up the ghost, and concerning whom the inquiry is made, "where is he during the period of death?" Satan endeavored to forestall this query by representing himself as the head of the only life insurance company, and induced the happy pair, as it were, to take out a policy. But the company was fraudulent. It had no life to impart. Death came. However, in the face of death on every hand, Satan has pretentiously clung to his theory that men do not die; and many people have come to believe his doctrine true. If men were left to answer the question of man's condition after death, we would most frequently be informed that "the unregenerated are in a place of torture, suffering the vengeance of an angry Diety, and the righteous are in heaven enjoying the bliss of the loyal angels." But man is not in position to answer the question. He cannot recall any occurrence in life prior to his present existence in human form. If one shall arise and request that it be conceded that the real intelligent, appreciative, thinking, understanding man is a separate entity from the man of clay, then perhaps he could inform us what his occupation was, and some of the detail incidents that occurred previous to the time of bodily encumbrance. If this cannot be done, can we reasonably expect, after one has been locked up in the body—the prison house of clay—from twelve to ninety years, that he would be more intelligent at the time of reprieve than he was before having been encumbered there-with? Those who have died without hope in God are the friends of someone, perhaps of you and me. Are such suffering the tortures of the condemned before the judgment? Surely not. Elsewhere it is written, "It is appointed unto men once to die," and the judgment must take place before one can reap his final reward. The Bible can only be relied upon to inform us of the condition of the dead between death and the day of final retribution. The patriarch Job was inspired to ask and reply: "If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come." Job asserts that there will be a time of waiting after death for both righteous and wicked, before the time of reward; and then adds, "If I wait, the grave is mine house", Job 14:14; 17:13. This is God's plan. "The meek will He teach His way", Ps. 25:9. Note the historical record made in the almost world's war zone, of the ravages of death among fathers, husbands, lovers, brothers and sons. Do those unacquainted with God plunge from the world's battle field into the horrors of eternal loss? Sure not, God's way is best. Those worn and weary men who have fallen in battle are unconscious of the suffering of comrades and bereaved loved ones. They sleep, rest, "wait" as said the patriarch, until all things are righted. The physicians, nurses, and other attendants who have been privileged to serve the wounded soldiers who survived the whole-sale slaughter of the armies on the field of battle, have watched over thousands of individuals until the time when, as inspiration records, "His breath goes forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish." Ps. 146:4. The generals who have fallen, plan no more engagements with the enemy, and neither they nor their comrades who have met a similar fate have any further anxiety for the interest of the home land, for their thoughts perished. There could be be no object in assigning, at time of death, a man whose thought has perished, to either heaven or hell. Better "wait", sleep in the grave until the change comes. We read, "The living know that they shall die, but the dead know not anything." Iech. 9:5 The dead rests until Christ, the Lifegiver, sounds the bugle, call, as upon one occasion He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus come forth." And he that was dead came forth. John 11:43-14. Jesus, our divine Lord, said, when referring to death, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth, but I go that I may awake him of sleep". Then said Jesus unto them plainly, "Lazarus is dead". John 11:11, 14. At the divine call of the Master, Lazarus came forth from the grave, his resting place, where he had been for four days. Verse 43, 44. This is a beautiful example, and surely a biblical answer to the question, "Where are the dead?" Inspiration said of David, "He is both dead and buried." Acts. 2:30. He further said of the patriarch, "David is no ascended into the heavens." Verse 34. Of Jesus it is written that He was recurred from the tumb. Verses 24, 27, 31. Paul said 'I have fought, a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith, henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness; which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, and not to to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing". II Tim. 4:17-8. Paul had conquered in Christ—had won the crown. He said Christ would rened him his crown "at that day" when all those who love Christ's coming receive the reward of immortality. Of that glad reunion day it is elsewhere written: "We shall not all sleep (die); but we shall be changed, in a moment, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we (the living) shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." I Cor. 15:51-55. When this mysterious change occurs to all the sleeping saints and living righteous, then death will be forever annihilated; for we hear the Master say, "They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world (the world to come), and the resurrection from the dead, neither can they die any more." Luke 20:33,36. Death is a sleep. But the trump of the Lord will awake every slumbering child of.God, from the time of righteous Abel to the dawn of that glad morning.

For the Lord Himself descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangle, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them, be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord." I Thess. 4:15-17, A. R. V. Of the ancient worthies Paul says, "These all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise, God having provided that they without us should not be made perfect." Heb. 11:39,40. From the moment when Abel fell asleep in death under the murderous stroke of Cane, his brother, until the sounding of the trump of God, will to Able be an unrecognized period, like that between two consecutive thoughts; for the dead are not conscious of the lapse of time. Said Jesus, "I am the resurrection and the life, he that believeth in Me, though he were dead (like Lazarus) yet shall he live; and who-sover liveth (at the resurrection) and believeth in Me shall never die." John 11:25.26. Dollars and Age. "And how does this hat look on me? Does it make me look younger?" asked the woman in the millinery shop. "Ah, madam," replied the modiste, "it makes you look $30 younger."—Yonkers Statesman. Frog Showers. The old idea that frogs are sometimes rained down from the upper regions rests upon a silly superstition. The frogs that are now and then found hopping around after a big rain come up from the earth, not down from the clouds. They are simply having a celebration after (likely enough) a long and trying time of drought—New York American. BROAD STREET e.

In his keenly analytic way, Mr, Fisher has digested these reasons; and they are given in his own words below : ‘There are some emotions whith you canot analyze nor explain. To walk the streets of Boston pays no grocery hills, hegins no bank account, purch- ases neither comforts nor Inxries; and yet I know that I am a different and happier man because I haye, once in my life, not only traveled all over the states of historie old New England, but have walked the streets of Boston and seen in person what I had felt and dreamed of in the spirit, that is, the place where men and women in the mifist of plenty, surrounded by cul- ture and refinement, suddenly awoke one day in thé past to the realization that almost four millions of colored people in the United States were un- happy hecause they wer not free; and that it was the duty of the strong to help the weak. Therefore, to me, the rea-on or rea- ons, which towers high above every- thing is the one which follows and which is given first place: 9 1 To see—and what colored per-; con does not want to sea—the hend- quarters of those who labored to give rrecdom to the American slave? There s no use to pretend that this in not me of the main reasons why every) Negro should visit Boston. ' If a colored person has already vis- ted Boston, he will find the following easons compeHing, nevertheless: 2 Because anyone deeply enough nterested in the Business League to ry to follow it because it’ helps him, $ an individual who has worked faith- ‘ully to deserve such a vacation and Neasure trip as only a journey to Bos- on can give, 3 To see business done by a real yusiness city. Boston is— . (a)The ‘commercial and financial cen- -ter of New Ensland. (b) The American seaport having the largest commerce, excepting New York, : (c) The greatest wool market én the United States and the second” great- est in the world. ae (1) The chief distributing center of the United States for shoes, leather and hides, (e) The home of the Boston and Maine’ railroad—the most remarkable con- solidation of railroads in the world, comprising 125 different roads, (f) The largest city market for fresh and salt fish in the United States. In Boston, one will see business done by men who know all about the subject and will see some of the greatest busi- ness establishments in the world. 4 Because many of the places that poets and history haye made immortal ire found in the beautiful “Hub of the Universe.” Who wants to dle without seelng once and again— Faneuil Hall, the “Cradle of Liberty,” Old Statehouse, Old South Meeting House, King's Chapel, Christ Church, Binker Hill, Robert Gould Shaw Me- morial, ete.? 5 To see once and again the center of education in America. > In Boston, one finds, among other famous literary institutions— (a) The public library with over 800- 000 volumes.

Saving Fish After Floods. “One of the most important liges ot work carried on by the fisheries branch _ of the government,” said an official, “is the rescue of food and game fishes from the overflowed lands in the Mis- sissippi valley. After the floods sub- side shaliow pools are left thrt are wholly disconnected from the sta -ams, and in these the fishes gradually vensh as the drying of thé pools progresses. By sending men to seine these pools the government eacti year saves and re- turns to public waters hundreds of thousunds ‘of valuable fishes.” A Disadvantage. “Truth,” said the ready-made phios- opher, “is stranger than fiction.” “Yes,” replicd the cynic, “but it suf- fers under the disadvantage of seldom being so/well expressed.”—Washington Star.

One was a jolly old Jady, while the other was of a sour ‘dispositign. “Well, well,” said the jolly one, “it's pleasant to be old. We get the best of everything—the easiest chairs, the best places, the tenderest morsels”— “Yos, yes,” sighed the other, forced to admit that her life was an easy one, “that’s all very true, but what's the use? We can't be old but once.”— Youth's Companion. i Easy Ovsters. During a discussion on finance in the United States senate one of the speak- ers traced the history of the various mediums of exchange, their, develop- ment and changes from the days of barter to the days of gold and silver. “I call to the attention of the sen- ate,” he said in the Course pf the speech, “that at one time the medium of éxchange was oyster shells. Oyster shells were used for money.” “Delightful!” broke in the late Sen- ator Hoar of Massachusetts. “If that system only prevailed now we could order half a dozen oysters on the halt shell and pay for them with the shells.” Greetings In China, ‘The Chinese salutation when friends meet consists in clasping the left hand with the right and waving it up and down, at the same time bowing deep- ly, or, if unusual respect is wishedito be evinced, the Chinaman bows as low as possible, swinging his clasped hands between his legs backward and for- ward “2 Earfeited Citicsanshin.

It may ineldentally be pointed out that while St. George was ndopted as the “iilitary protector” of England early in the thirteenth centu- ry the patron of England had for five centuries previously been St Peter, which helps to explain’ why more churches have in England been dedi- cated to that saint than to any other.— London Mirror.
