The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX KNIGHTS OF DAMON HOLD SESSION AT DUFFY STREET HALL DURING THIS WEEK About Fifty were in Attendance—Reports of Officers Show Increase in Order—J. W. Millen Re-elected The Supreme Grand Lodge of the Kingsts of Damon came to a close on last Wednesday night after holding a three days' session at the Duffy street hall. The meeting was presided over by Supreme Grand Commander J. W. Millen and had in attendance of about fifty delegates. There was only one representative from out of town and that was from Charleston, S. C. The Courts of Hermion, the female branch of the order, held their sessions at the same time on the third floor of the building and both of the meetings were interesting. The reports of the officers were very encouraging, showing an increase both financially and numerically. The order has a membership of something like fifteen hundred, including both branches and its finance has increased forty per cent over that of last year. This showing has inspired the members much and it is said by them that strong efforts would be made to bring the order to a higher standard by the next annual session. On Tuesday afternoon a street parade was had, headed by the K. of D. band and four companies of the uniform rank, under command of Major J. M. Suares. The officers and members of the court rode in carriages. The parade passed through the principal streets of the city and terminated at the river front where they boarded the steamer Attaquin and went down to Daufuiskle for an outing. During the three days of the meeting there was much talk of an opposition to the present Supreme Grand Commander which caused the administration forces to sit up and take notice. The opposition grounded H. P. Williams for the position. For the first few minutes after the announcement for election the house became a little noisy, but order was soon restored and the election proceeded. The impartial manner in which Supreme Grand Commander Millen presided at this juncture was very noticeable and it had a tendency of bringing about sat-factory results. Many on the opposing side spoke very commendably of his actions. The election finally ended with the entire administration being put back into office. The officers are: J. W. Millen, supreme grand commander; Henry Jackson, senior grand commander; Edward Ford, junior grand commander; Dr. E. M. Phackney, supreme grand secretary; R. L. West, recorder; William Laster, treasurer; Wm. Jackson, prelate; John Lockheart, inner guard; Matthew Jackson, major general. The uniform board remains the same with J. M. Suares as major and Lleut. Jake Wright as inspector. ANOTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTION It is reported that efforts are being made to organize another financial institution in the city. If this report is true, it means that despite of the present strinkency of finance and of business, that a certain class of our people are prosperous and see where they can make a success of such an organization inaugurated during these piping hard times. ```markdown ``` Savannah enjoys already second to the largest colored banking institution in the country and another one that is doing well. Some months ago a number of enterprising young men got together and had incorporated a flourishing loan and investment company. From reports they are doing well and will be a fixture. These three financial institutions argue much for the progress of our people. Now comes the fourth effort. We have a large population and if a goodly part of our people could be induced to become interested, all of these institutions would pay, especially if conducted along purely business lines, void of anything else. The Tribune will welcome and encourage every business effort among our people. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Martha Jones wishes to thank her many friends for the beautiful floral offerings and the kindness shown in the loss of her sister, Miss Ellen Cook. SPECIAL MEETING FOR BOYS AND YOUNG MEN.AT THE Y. M. C. A Rev. T. J. Goodall, Dr. Thompkins and Others to Speak. What promises to be one of the most interesting and helpful meetings ever held in the city in the interest of our boys and young men, will take place on tomorrow afternoon at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, West Broad and Maple streets, when the Young Men's Christian Association will hold a special meeting for them. At this meeting some very interesting and vital points anent the physical, moral and intellectual man will be stressed. At this age, when so many attractions of an unsatisfactory nature are offered our boys and young men, any effort put forth to offset this tendency to waywardness on the part of our youth should meet the hearty approval of all well meaning and serious minded people of the race. Parents. Sunday school superintendents, pastors and all other persons who have charge of boys and young men should join the Y. M. C. A. in this effort to give them greater development. The Tribune will be pleased to see every seat taken at St. Paul on tomorrow when the meeting begins at 5 p. m. Parents are urged to be present also. NOTES OF THE DISTRICT The District Grand Household convened in the City of Athens, August 10-12. Inclusive. The opening exercises were held in Morton's theatre. The best we have had for some time. Too much praise cannot be given those who participated and helped to make it such a success. The D. G. H. H. convened Tuesday morning at 10 a. m., with Mrs. L P. Fortune, D. M. N. G., presiding, the credential committee having been appointed, and while waiting on them to report, the meeting was turned into an experience meeting, and it would have made anyone glad to be identified with such a noble order, to hear the different expressions of praise and adoration of those who have guided the order thus far. Every one seemed to have the Golden Rule in mind and seemed to think twice before speaking. After the credential committee reported the Household got down to business and those eligible to be seated answered to the roll call. There were representatives from all parts of the state, and each one tried to add something to the meeting that would be helpful. The delegates voted unanimously for the merger and voted to send a representative to Philadelphia to present the same. Those elected were Mrs. L. P. Fortune, Mrs. W. Pecker Johnson, Mrs. M. M. Halley. We were favored with the presence of those composing the committee on fraternal greetings. The following ones were elected: Mrs. L. P. Fortune, D. M. N. G.; Mrs. Wm. D. Johnson, D. R. N. G.; Mrs. Hattle B. Jackson, D. W. T; Mrs. R. Ethel Caln, D. W. R.; Mrs. Susie W. Dasher, District Directress, Bro. B. J. Davis in very appropriate words installed the officers. Dr. Penn also spoke encouragingly of the progress of the order. The business having been completed thus ended a very enthusiastic session. Too much can not be said of our D. M. N. G., who by her untiring efforts has done much to build up the household and we wish for her long life to carry on the good work. The meeting adjourned to meet in Macon. REV. GARNER'S COMING Much interest is being manifested in the coming of Rev. A. G. Garner of Washington, D. C., vice-moderator of the National Council of Congregational Churches, who will speak at the morning and evening services of the First Congregational Church on Sunday August 29. Rev. Garner is a fluent speaker and it will be a real treat to hear him. At the regular conference of the F. A. B. Church, Bolton street, on Monday night last, the pastoral connection of Rev. Wm. Dunn was severed. He is to serve until the third Sunday in September, after which the church will select his successor. Services will be held as usual on Sundays. Tomorrow the Rev. Banks will preach at each service, and the public is invited. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, Savannah Delegates Deny Split in Lodge AT ODD FELLOWS CONVENTION LAST WEEK Article from Savannah Press Reproduced—Signed Statement Condemning Publication of Article Misstating Facts. SPLIT IN LODGE Negro Odd Fellows Bolted at Convention of Order To-day The convention of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which has been in progress at Athens since the 10th of the month, broke up in a quarrel today when an attempt was made to elect officers for the next year. "The incumbents, it seemed, took control of the convention, ordered the legal delegates off the floor, stuffed the hall with "ringers" and proceeded in due manner with their election. The unseated delegates, who claim they were the majority in numbers, immediately bolted the order and organized one of their own and forthwith elected officers. The matter will be settled by the Sub Committee of Management at Philadelphia. Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, colored, of Savannah, was delegate to the convention and was opposing B. S. Ingram for the office of district grand master. When his forces were unseated he led the bolt, and was elected the district grand master of the newly organized lodge.—Savannah Press, Aug. 18, 1915. Savannah, Ga., Aug 16, 1915. To The Savannah Tribune: Kindly allow us space in your columns to contradict the above article which appeared in Friday afternoon's issue of the Savannah Press, August 13th. We attended every session of the Grand Lodge of Old Fellows which met in Athens, Ga. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week and remained until the adjournment on Thursday evening. We hereby state that there was no "split in the lodge" as mentioned in above article and at no time was there even an effort to carry out such plans. We also deny the statement that the convention broke up in a quarrel when an attempt was made to elect officers. There was not a "sign of confusion. The election was orderly conducted and was held according to the established laws of the order. Each candidate for office was given a "square deal". According to the report of the credential committee every delegate whether contested or not, and every delegate whose lodge was recommended for suspension for being in arrears with the bureau of endowment, were reported regular and accorded a seat in the convention. The only delegates not seated were those who did not have the proper degrees and those who were not elected in the month of May as required by law. This number hardly exceeded fifty. Dr. B. W. S. Daniels of Savannah, who was an aspirant for grand master and a delegate from Armenia Lodge No 1930, was reported regular by the committee. Dr. Daniel's name for the mastership was never presented to the convention. We also deny that any legal delegates were ordered off the floor and we have no knowledge of the hall being stuffed with "ringers". As delegates to the recent convention, and taking a part in its deliberations, we feel it our duty as Odd Fellows to give to the brotherhood a true version of the condition of affairs as they existed. We hereby condemn the action of the person or persons who thus misrepresented matters, and do declare that the procedure was just to the opposite as published under the caption, "Split in Lodge." J.

SATURDAY AUGUST 21ST, Pekin to Present Excellent Bill SOME OF COUNTRY'S BEST PERFORMERS HERE Anna Cook Panky, who Starred in the Red Moon, will Head Bill—Manager Stiles Promises some Fine Performers for this Fall. A bill of unusual entertaining features will be seen at the Pekin next week. Some of the country's best performers will be presented by Manager Stiles. Many of them have appeared on the big time circuits in the north and have been stamped "excellent". Heading next week's bill will be Anna Cook Panky who was one of the brilliant stars in the late Red Moon, the production staged by the late Bob Cole and Rosamond Johnson. Miss Panky possesses an exceptional clear voice and her range is nothing short of wonderful. In her rendition of the leading part in the "Bleeding Moon", she was spoken of most highly wherever this famous show of Cole and Johnson was seen and her appearance here will be greeted with much delight by the many patrons of the Pach. Aside from Miss Panky the bill will include such excellent performers as Cri-swell and Avery, Tollvar and Chappell and others in addition to Cross and Bradwell's stock company. Manager Stiles has secured many of the leading stars who will be seen here this season and the local theatre goers will be treated to several of the latest sensations on the northern stage. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS Reported by the National The National Association of Negro Merchants with Robert W. Fearing as president has been organized in New York City. The object of the association is to provide better working conditions for its members. McCarrier Byrd of Lawrence, Kansas, and proprietor of the Lawrence Bug and Fur Company, is doing a large and successful business in the tanning of furs. Hides of many wild and domestic animals are shipped to his tannery from nearby and adjoining states to receive his skilled treatment. H. A. Scott, a colored man, is said to conduct a very successful cleaning and drying establishment in New Haven, Conneticut. Mr. Scott employs from twenty to thirty persons, and his annual business is said to amount to more than $25,000. An excellent opportunity is said to be offered to a well-qualified colored dentist to locafe in a thriving Southern city. Write the Secretary of the National Negro Business League, at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and enclose stamp for reply. The Associated Charities of Cincinnati, Ohio, have employed Miss Martha Fletcher, a young colored woman, as special worker and investigator among the colored people. Since last report, Local Negro Business Leagues have been organized and chartered in the following cities: Thibodaux, Louisiana; Reidsville, North Carolina; Bradentown, Florida; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Montclair, New Jersey. Within the past six weeks, state Negro business Leagues in three states have held their annual meetings. The meetings were well attended and have been followed by a wave of increasing interest, in local league work. Texas, Louisiana, and Virginia are the states where these meetings have been held. FUNERAL NOTICE The relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. Frasler, Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Golden, Mrs. Sarah Nelson are respectfully invited to attend the funeral of Mrs. Lottie Chappel Frasler, Sunday August 22, from First Bryan Baptist Church at 2 o'clock p. m. ROOSTERS DEFEAT EUREKAS IN TWELVE INNING GAME—3 to 2 In a twelve innig game at the ball park yesterday, the Royal Roosters defeater the Eurekas by a score of 3 to2. The game was replete with interesting plays and was one of the best seen at the local park this season. BOYCOTT IS URGED AGAINST GEORGIA Proper Rebuke for Lynching of Frank, Says "The Boston Traveller" Boston, August 17.—The Boston Traveller," which conducted a widespread campaign to save Leo M. Frank from the gallows, urges a boycott on Georgia products in an editorial today, which says: "In this crowning demonstration of her inherent savagery, Georgia stands revealed before the world in her naked, barbarian brutality. She is a shame and a disgrace to the other states of the Union, who are powerless in the matter of human justice to put upon her the corrective punishment her crime deserves. "But the consciences of the American people are not so callous as those of the Georgians, who sanction by silence or take part in such crimes against fellow beings white and black. And to the degree that a humane public can rebuke the state of Georgia by refusing to have any part of her unholy people's products they will do so. Anything made or grown in Georgia will bear a sinister brand and be suggestive of lynchings and burnings, and especially of this brutal murder of Frank, and it ought, to be and doubtless will be left untouched. "The only way in which Georgia can be made to feel the shudder of horror which is sweeping the country and the utter contempt in which she is held by the rest of the nation is by a deliberate boycott of Georgia grown and Georgia made goods—peaches, cotton or whatever else bears the stamp of the so-called 'Empire State of the South.'" EXCELLENT PROGRESS OF STANDARD LIFE OF ATLANTA The Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, an old line legal reserve, straight life company was incorporated in 1911, and began business in March 1913, has issued an attractive booklet, prepared and arranged by Harry H. Pace, secretary, with foreword by H. E. Perry, president, giving something of its history and a short sketch of some of the men who are serving as officers or directors or leading stockholders. They are men who have gained notice in their respective communities because of their thrift and success. Some of them are large tax payers. The company had on June 30 1915, insurance in force amounting to $1,711,750, with admitted assets of $140,930.27 and policy holders' surplus of $108,832.80, including all paid cash capital of $100,000.00. The company is licensed and is writing business in seven states. All of its business is other than industrial, the industrial having been reinsured in other companies. H. H. Perry who started the company and placed most of its stock, at his own expense, and who is now its president, deserves to succeed, as does the company. He worked very hard but with an intelligent and understanding that finally brought success. He has met discouragements and overcome obstacles in a way that would have taken the heart, out of less determined men. There is not a single reason why the company should not meet with great success. It has already overcome the worst difficulties. It has won the respect of state insurance officials. It has gained recognition and standing among banks and financial institutions. It has proven its worth to its own race of people, which is essential to success. Some actuaries will undertake to prove that the mortality among the Negro race is higher than among whites. While this may be true generally, it is hardly true of the class of risks being selected. Furthermore, the cost of operation is much less in this company than in any other and will undoubtedly continue so. The interest earnings are as great and perhaps greater. As a further and powerful incentive there is also the question of rave pride and a desire above all other considerations to have this, the first company of the kind, highly successful. All in all, the outlook of the Standard Life of Atlanta has never been surpassed by any company of equal size and age. Excellence of contract, efficiency of superintendence and economy of management, are among the principal features upon which it is founded, and upon which it hopes and expects to grow and attain the fullest degree of success.—Southeastern Underwriter NUMBER 48 BOSTON HOST TO NEWSPAPER MEN NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION HOLDS MEETING Executive Committee of National Negro Press Association Holds Successful Session in the Hub City. Boston, Mass., August 18th (Recipocal News Service)—From Maine to California there are representatives of newspapers and publishers in this city attending the executive session of the National Negro Press Association. The meetings are being held at the Union Baptist Church in what is known as Cambridge. Newspaper men who have served for a quarter of a century and more are participating in the organization that is holding a strict executive session. They are the guests of Boston and Mr. Jno Thomas Harrison, a newspaper man of wide note, representing the local committee and has direct supervision and care of the representatives of the Press. Among the things that will claim the attention of the Executive Committee the balance of the week will be the outlining of the plans for the ensuing year's work, and the announcement from the Executive Committee of the advertising plan that is now in operation. An attempt will be made to enlarge upon the Recipocal News Service and the Telegraph Service that went into effect more than a year ago, and it is understood that the Committee at large with sub-committees in every section of the United States; but it is understood that the headquarters of the Vigilance Committee will be located in the nation's capital. There is to be no changes in the personnel of the officials of the Association, as the constitution that was adopted at the Muskogee meeting provides for the election of officers at the mid-winter session. As a result, all officers will hold over until the February meeting. The officers at present as reported are Melvin J. Chilum, president, Oklahoma City, Okla.; R. E. Jones, vice-president, New Orleans, La.; H. M. Gillilean, second vice-president, Denison, Texas; H. A. Boyd, corresponding secretary, Nashville, Tenn.; Chas. Sunner Smith, recording secretary, Minneapolis, Minn.; J. A. Hamlett, assistant recording secretary, Jackson, Tenn.; L. G. Jordan, treasurer, Philadelphia, Pa.; C. J. Perry, auditor, Philadelphia, Pa.; Jos. L. Jones, chairman Executive Committee, Cincinnati, Ohio. As early as last night the newspaper men began to arrive, and this morning when the corresponding secretary, who was one of the first on the grounds, was seen he stated that he expected a good attendance. He said that the executive committee consisted of the elective officers the chairman of the executive committee and the committeemen from the various states. While there will be practically no legislation at this executive session, some recommendations will be made and some things will become effective that were passed upon at the regular mid-winter meeting. Two important items are those bearing upon annual dues and the entrance fee. There are also to be found some regulations governing the reciprocal and telegraph news service bearing upon the code service that is to be inaugurated by the newspaper men. In other words, Corresponding Secretary Boyd and the chairman of the executive committee Jos L. Jones, with President Chilum have about completed a code service by which all messages can be transmitted from one newspaper to another of a very few words over wire, but when they are ciphered one word will be equivalent to several sentences. The largest delegation is from the East. The two New York committeemen, J. H. Anderson and N. B. Dodson, with the New Jersey committeemen, J. A. Lightfoot and T. Thomas Fortune, the men from Pennsylvania, R. R. Wright, Jr., and A. P. Caldwell, with Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland and the District of Columbia, are on hand. One of the honorary presidents, Hon. R. W. Thompson, was selected by Chairman Jones to preside. It will be remembered that as president of the association he gained much distinction for practical newspaper work. The sessions will close Thursday evening, as the call only included the 18 and 19th. A number of newspaper men who watched the progress of the association, expressed themselves as being in hearty sympathy with the plans as outlined in the meeting. --- Fashion Decrees that Skirts Shall Dip To Show their Linings THE SWORD CORD LOSES ITS MILITANT MIEM New York Aug., 18-It's never too late for something new, if that something is fashion. It would seem that advanced summer is as opportune a time for launching styles as early spring, if one may judge from this season. Every time society congregates for sports there is something new in the way of fashion. It is one of their pastimes and amusements, this wearing of the new in dress, fast as the couturiere can contrive to produce it. Styles on the Field of Aviation The automobile races and the field of aviation are scenes of smartness this season. Society is there in full force, for society must make the most of the things this land affords, since globetrotting is out of the question. There have been several small meets lately out on Long Island, noteworthy from a view of sports, as well as fashion. Many men of prominence have taken to the air, and their wives and sweet-hearts and con-ins were all, there to see them do their spiral dips, loop-the-loop and deserts. And, incidentally to wear the last word in dresses! Just at the present time this last word happens to be points, and feminine society has taken to it like ducks to water. These points must be in the right place though, and this place is the lower edge of the skirt. Deep points and small points all contrive to show the gorgeous things of the skirts. One of the Misses Post, who is a devotee of aviation, was seen recently at a meet in a dress of this type. Cut extremely short, the skirt showed four shallow points. This was white linen, which matched a jumper of the same material, and was worn over a guippe of transparent white Swiss. The trimming was, of course, cretome, for no dress is quite complete without it this summer, but this time it had for- © MCCALL saken its gay colors and flowers in favor of a black-and-white check. To say that bands and facings of this material on the white were startling is putting it mildly, but, then, the points of the skirt were striking enough to carry off a contrast of this kind. Hats Now Match the Wash Dresses This is a season when every dress has a hat of its own, matching either the material or the trimming; Miss Post's hat followed the rule, being made of the black-and-white cretonne. In its straight-brimmed sailor style, low of crown and tilted fearlessly on the head; it had a swagger style in keeping with the sport of airmen. Stockings Checked Likewise What hats may do, stockings may do likewise. Even if they were not of cretonne, they had its checks and matched the facing, the trimming, and the hat, giving a certain completeness to the costume, which left nothing to be desired by style. Braid a Trimming for Silk Frocks Many of the older women and some of the young girls, too, wore the silk dresses of faille taffeta. These were mostly of the new Princess or coat styles. Braid is much in evidence as trimming. Wide Hercules braid was repeated in several models in graduated rows on the bottom of the skirts. One model of Hickson's had braid as wide as five inches. It is rumored that another tailor has ordered it eighteen inches wide; but, then, this is rumor and time will tell whether we will wear it or not. The sword-cord was the feature of one of the non-militant taffeta dresses worn by a woman prominent in New York society. So modest was the dress, with its tight basque and full skirt of blue taffeta, that the cord without the sword lost its military aspect. Mme. Lanvin is responsible for the sword-cord on silk dresses, having shown it earlier in the season on several taffetas. Now it takes on various forms and has been made in a frog-like ornament for the side of the new coats. Turbans Gain in Smartiness It is interesting to note that wherever this glint of military is seen the hat is small. The particular moled worn with the costume mentioned above was small and close fitting to the extreme, topped with a fan-tailed pigeon. Bows and plant wings are also employed on the tops of these turbans, for the turban must have something high to give it chic. But, when it has of bow, its wing, or its bird, properly perched, there is something in its style unexcelled by the large-brimmed hats. NOGU Small Boy's Suits from Marine Sources The children play an important role at these daytime fetes. Boys are especially smart in their suits, taken, as they are, from the army and the navy uniforms—trimmings, brass buttons and all. One little chap who was keenly interested in watching his father manouver a big biplane, wore a white fuck suit cut on the lines of the sailor uniform, with long, flare trousers, sailor blouse, and wide collar. It is surprising how popular these suits have suddenly become for the younger children. Many of the shops are featuring the suit this little chap wore, cleverly naming it the "submarine". Whether the name catches the mother or the child is hard to tell. Both mother and child seem to have gone in for the extreme just at present now that aviation and like sports are uppermost in mind. When they again return to their charities in the fall we may expect a reverse swing in the pendulum of fashion. The Chinese La-pa. The Chinese in-pa in shape is almost identical with the ancient Roman tuba. It gives four notes—C, G, D and E. A Fearful Punishment. Compulsory sleeplessness, once a Chinese punishment for murder, is fatal in nine or ten days. Ambition. Ambition causes a fool to jump at the moon and fall in the mud.—Chicago News. A Sure Thing. "What is your idea of a cinch?" "Betting that the long hand of a watch will get around the first." Reversible. "Snug & raw was I ere I saw war & guns" spells the same both backward and forward.

If the latter figure be regarded two phantoms of the nearest finger will be observed mounting guard, one on either side.

Masonry a School for Formation of Chtracter Freemasonry (says the Hon. Justice Beaman, Grand Master of all Scottish Freemasonry in India) was intended in the whole of its scheme and outward presentation to typify the right development of human mentality. It teaches the need of grounding youth in moral truth and virtue, of expanding maturity by the acquisition of all useful knowledge, of utilizing old age for the application of all experience so gathered, to the contemplation, if possible, of the solution of the great profound problems. Thus conceived, thus practiced, Masonry should be a school for the formation of character; having for its ultimate object the direction of man's thoughts to the reason of life, the way and conduct of life, and the large destiny for which it may be but the disciplinary preparation. At the last annual communication of the Grand Lodge of Arizona, the following resolution was adopted: "Every brother who has been raised to the degree of Master Mason shall within six months after being raised be required to pass a satisfactory examination in the lecture of the Third Degree, either in open lodge or before the regular examining committee, and it shall be the duty of the Master to see that this regulation is strictly enforced." Freemasonry should not accommodate itself to the caprices of individuals who wish to attain the honors and preferments by short cuts. It is not honored by the accession of a man who, in some way, has become noted, nor by one who waits until he is ready for a voyage, or a change of residence. Better never to accept such men as candidates than to lower the institution by making it subservient to their convenience and caprices.—The Mallet. When speaking of other people, every word we think should pass through three sieves before it gets to our lips. Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?—Anon. Do a Good Turn When you Can We wish every brother who reads the above lines would commit them to memory, and call them into activity whenever occasion offers. Go out into the world with these lines nestling in and warming your hearts, and they will bring sunshine not only on your own path, but on the paths and homes and hearts of others. "Do a good turn when you can," and you will thus exemplify the true, the genuine, the heaven-descended spirit of our grand Help One Another This little sentence should be written on every heart—stamped on every memory. It should be the golden rule practiced, not only in every household, but throughout the world. By helping one another, we not only remove thorns from the pathway and anxiety from the mind, but we feel a sense of pleasure in our hearts, knowing we are doing a duty to a fellow creature. A helping hand or an encouraging word is no less to us, yet it is a benefit to others. Who has not felt the the power of a little sentence? Who has not needed the encouragement and aid of a kind friend? How soothing when perplexed with some task that is both difficult and burdensome, to feel a gentle hand on the shoulder, and to hear a kind voice whispering "Do not be discouraged; I see your troubles, let me help you." What strength is inspired, hope created, what sweet gratitude is felt and the great difficult dissolves as dew before the sunshine. Yes, let us help one another, by endeavoring to strengthen and encourage the weak, and lifting the burden of care from the weary and oppressed, that life may glide smoothly on, and the fount of bitterness yield sweet waters; and He, whose willing hand is ever ready to aid us, will reward our humble endeavors, and every good deed will be as "bread upon the waters, to return after many days," if not to us, at least to those we love.—Missouri Freemason. If some of the time spent in crying over unhappy people in novels were spent in trying to relieve the miseries of people who actually exist, the world would be far better than it is. Is Masonry of Divine Origin? How could Masonry have been carried into every country and the Isles of the sea, without the burning of one pound of powder or shedding one drop of blood. Preserved its ancient landmarks unsullied amid the changing of dynasties and the wrecking of kingdoms, unless Divinely protected? Which all other creeds to honor God has cost millions and many rivers of blood to introduce them into any countries.

This preservation of the Jew as a distinct race of people and the evident Divine protection of Masonry for five thousand years are two of the strongest proofs of the truth and Diving origin of the Bible. The creeds of the world are indebted to Masonry for the Holy Bible. Even the Jewish nation was at one time without the Bible. The Masons preserved the only copy in existence for 70 years. Did this just happen so, or was it by Divine direction? If by Divine direction, Masonry came into existence, then its precepts and principles must be divine. These precepts are taught in the great light of Masonry, the Holy Bible and Masonry teaches nothing but what is taught in the Bible. Every true Mason depends alone on the strong grip of the lion of the tribe of Judah for resurrection to life eternal.

Saturday August 21st, 1915 Ex-Governor Slaton of Georgia, who is sojourning in San Fanci-co, in order to justify his actions in commuting the sentence of Frank, is trying to induce the public to believe that Frank was innocent and that the real murderer is a Negro. Mr. Slaton will have a hard time convincing the people of Georgia as to the innocence of Frank. It is pleasing to note the attitude of all leading newspapers of the country in condemning lynch law occasioned by the Frank incident. This awakening conscience after years of lynching of colored men and women, is truly a hopeful sign. In its very able editorial condemnatory of the law breakers in lynching Frank, the New York World very erroneously stated that Frank's throat was cut in the prison by a Negro convict. The Negro has too much to bear already, do not credit him with this crime. It is now time for the customary annual efforts to induce Negro men who are killing in the cities to return to the country and pick cotton. There is likely to be a good demand for them at fair wages and there is no reason except their laziness why any of them should loaf around the cities during cotton picking season. The cities would be better off without them and the rural sections better off with them. Hence it won't be surprising if in most of the cities there is a crusade against killers. If there is petty thefts will decrease in number, the police will likely have less trouble and there will be hands aplenty to get the cotton out of the fields. The above is taken from the Morning News. In part we concur with the article, but why single out the colored brother? Why not make this as applicable to the white loafers? There are just as many of them. Make a crusade against all loafers regardless of race. The lynching of Leo. M. Frank at Marietta last Tuesday morning by a mob which secured him by invading the state penitentiary at Milledgeville the night before, has attracted the attention of the entire country to the wide spreading manifestations of lawlessness which have become so rampant in this state for the past several years. Frank was serving his term at the state prison as a "life timer" for the murder of Mary Phagun. He would have gone to his death some time ago had not the governor of the state exercised his prerogative by commuting his sentence to life imprisonment, an act which so inflamed thousands of citizens of the state that threats were made against the condemned man's life and even the home of the governor was besieged by the ugly mobs which jeered him and made it necessary to throw the protecting arm of the state militia around him. This was the first time in the history of the union that the chief executive of a state was so treated and showed the unmistakable lust for lawlessness which has been exhibited so freely in the southland, and especially in Georgia, here of late. But it did not stop there nor will it stop with the swinging of Frank's body from a tree near Marietta unless drastic, measures are put forth by the state authorities to curb the deadly law breakers. The country, of course, was shocked at the lynching of Frank. Why should it be? Are there not scores of Negroes and a few white men in the Southland treated to a similar fate every year? Had not mob violence reached such a stage that it was practically impossible to tell where it would strike next? Have not the "brave and fearless heroes" who compose these midnight assassinating parties wreaked their vengeance not only upon harmless Negro men but upon defenseless Negro women and children? Truly, the lynching of Frank is no new pastime and differs from other such crimes only because the sanctity of the confining walls of the penitentiary were invaded and this fact demonstrates with what ease a mob may get its prey from the custodians of the law in Georgia. The lynching of Frank has done what scores-of of others such deeds in the state have failed to do and unless the heavy arm of the law is, quickly brought down upon the ever-increasing lawless element there, is no telling where their deeds will end and how much more disgrace will be heaped upon the fair name of our state. EDITORIAL NOTES Will there be a reaction in the lynching business in Georgia? The Frank case, has left a stench that requires years to eradicate. Until recently it was an unusual thing to hear of a white man being lynched. The white mobbers have become so embolden and bloodthirsty until they have no regard whatever for race or color. For years, the lawless element in Georgia has been sowing dragons' teeth. The entire state is now reaping a full harvest. The result will be the lessening, of capital and the holding up of homeseekers who will seek more law-abiding communities. It is surprising to note the awakening conscience of a large number of our prominent white men and officers in this state as against lynch law. For years Negroes have been lynched, burned at the stake, or their bodies otherwise mutilated, yet not a protest from them. Their cowardice is the cause of the present lawless spirit in Georgia. Every qualified voter should register for both the city and county bond elections. All of us are interested in the question effecting both of these elections., and should be qualified, in order to vote accordingly. Whenever it comes to the upbuild, ing of any Negro enterprise there should be a unanimity of feeling and action. Any man or set of men who would do aught to prevent same, should be branded as race traitors. Feeling and a spirit to "get back" should not actuate any man who has the interest of the whole people at heart, or who desires to be a potent factor in the affairs of any community. In this county we have about fifty thousand colored people for this reason there is plenty of room for the expansion along business lines. This number, if they would, could easily support another newspaper, another bank, another insurance company, another dry goods store, an increased number of grocery and other stores, also lines in which we are not now engaged. Savannah is extending a very cordial invitation to the Baptists of this country to hold its 1916 session in this city. They could meet tin no fairer city than Savannah. A place void of the lawless element and where the relations between the races are very cordial. It was about a quarter of a century ago when the convention met here, and everybody was loud in praising Savannah for its excellent care of the delegates. What was done then can be more than duplicated now. This invitation is endorsed by the State Baptists, the leading Baptist organizations and churches, the Business League, the white trade bodies, etc. The Baptist brethren at their meeting in Chicago next month will make no mistake whatever in deciding to meet in Savannah in 1916. The officers of the Odd Fellows Grand Lodge of Georgia are being commended on all sides for the high-class session held at Athens last week. Every delegate had his full say and the election was fairly held. One of the worst localities in the city it that of Prendegast street, near the Union station. It is honeycombed with near beer saloons and alleged gambling joints. Those of us who care for the well-being of our race should join in breaking up these dives, or at least prevent the young girls from frequenting them and also living lives of shame. This is the kind of uplift work which all of our churches and charitable institutions should join. Savannah can boast of the sweetest vocalist, and the best performers on the several instruments as may be found elsewhere. The greatest criticism that can be heaped upon them is that they are not organized in such a way as to make apparent their good talent. A well-organized choral club and orchestra would mean much for our city, and the enjoyment of music lovers. The Tribune would commend the thorough organization of such a choral club and orchestra. MUSICAL RECITAL There will be a musical recital at the Second Baptist Church, Friday evening August 27th. "Ye Scribe" found himself in the red hills of Clark county last week is why you missed the valuable information with reference to the doings of the most progressive Negro business men who are striving with might and main to keep prominently on the map and before the people, the good name of the fatest and best city for Negroes to in to be found any where. Made a Good Record The fine record made by a member of the local branch of the National Negro Business League of this city last week in giving the doings of the two conventions held in Athens, as he saw it, is a reportorial fete accomplished by him of which all loyal Savannahians are proud. One of these conventions came to a close on Wednesday afternoon, August 11th and the other was brought to a close Thursday afternoon August 12th. This local reporter who is a member of our staff, of the Savannah Tribune, the most progressive Negro newspaper in the South, which has its own facilities for doing its own work, such as operating its own big linotype machine, etc by the skillful hands of its own Negro employees, tho, quite three hundred miles away from the scene of the convention, he gave in detail the doings of the convention to his many appreciative readers, Saturday morning, August 14th, the whole story. The comparison made between our local paper, the Savannah Tribune, and other Negro newspapers in the state which had representatives at these two conventions, reveals the fact, which stands out prominently, that the Savannah Tribune, when it comes to giving the people the news in a general way, and leaving the partisan feelings of its editors absolutely out of it, is simply in a class by itself. All fair-minded men everywhere love and respect as fair and impartial newspaper which is published in the interest of the people and not for the purpose of boosting the game of some individual or some clique or clan. In short, the local branch of the Negro Business League of Savannah, is not an exception of the general sweeping rule. Discriminating Customers Discriminating customers are to be found among Negro men and women nowadays in as great numbers as will be found among the other races. What fact does this thought bring to our minds? What thought should this suggestion bring to the minds of the Negro merchants? We have all about come to the conclusion, if there was ever a day, it has nowgast, when Negroes would trade with Negroes because they are Negroes. This is a strong competitive age and the Negro man who would make good on the job as a merchant must be on the alert, aggressive and progressive. He must keep his stock up to the standard and be ready at all times to meet his most formidable competitor at every turn of the road. Not Sentiment But business Is the prevailing idea among our people these days. Our people are learning to patronize the concerns operated by our own people which are conducted on business basis, whether they be insurance companies, stores banks tailor shops, or what not. These are exactly the ideas entertained by the other fellow and the Negro is learning not to allow himself to be an exception to this general sweeping rule. In this age of commercialism where is constantly stressed the survival of the fittest, the Negro in business realizes fully that, to make good in his particular line, he must meet his competitor on the field of human endeavor and look him squarely in the face and give him to understand unm-takably that there is a man on the job. The Age of Specialized Selling Is the one in which we live to-day. The age of "jack of all trades and good at none", sleeps in the silent past and the progressive, up-to-date, twentieth century business man is proud to know that it has passed. The man who would make good as a merchant, bricklayer, lawyer, carpenter insurance man, editor, real estate dealer, type-setter or what not, must stick to his bush and master his job. It is indeed a deplorable sight to see a young Negro man who poses as a business factor in the community attempting to do everything in general and, in fact, aiming at nothing in particular. Our last word upon this thought is, young Negro man, know thy self, discover thyself, choose thy lifework and get on the job and perform your duty like a man, by doing all the good you can to as many people as you can. Sentiments like these are the ones cherished by the Negro Business League of Savannah, which meets in the Wage Earners Savings Bank building, corner West Broad and Alice streets, the first Wednesday and third Friday evenings of each month. Come early to the next meeting and join in the business discussions. Mrs. Mary Holmes went to Savannah on Sunday. She returned Monday. AT THE Y. M. C. A. Those present at the "Y" on last Sunday enjoyed one of the best programs of its history. Among the special features were the address of Prin. W. E. Thompson of Chatham school No I, Chatham Academy, and the singing of the newly organized Y. M. C. A. quartette. The address of Principal Thompson will long be remembered as one of the best yet delivered at the "Y". The Y. M. C. A. quartette composed of Messrs Robert Davis, Leroy Humbert, W. A. Clarke, and Fred M. Taylor, elicited much favorable comment by the renditions which it made. It is believed that the Sunday meetings will grow in interest with the aid of the quartette. On to-morrow at 5 p. m. at St. Paul C. M. B. Church, an unusual program for the boys and men is planned. The moral physical, and intellectual man will be stressed by such speakers as Rev. T. J. Goodall, Dr. Archibald Tompkins and others. All boys and young men from ten years old are invited to be present. Parents, Sunday school superintendents and others who have charge of boys are urged to see to it that their boys are present at this meeting. Fathers are invited to come with their sons. The promoters of the "Y" would like to see the church taxed to its capacity with boys and young men on tomorrow. Let each one be in his seat at 5 p. m. Good music. On tomorrow night, the representatives of the "Y" will present its work to the pastor and members of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church, East Broad and Henry streets. All are invited to be present at this meeting. SOCIAL HAPPENING Messrs Jas E. Maynor, Sam Parker and others entertained Monday evening in honor of Miss Helen Sullivan of Atlantic City, N.

CENTRAL PARK SAVANNAH, GEORGIA Firstclass JOB PRINTING The Artichoke. The artichoke, which originally came from Barbary, is not a botanical species, but a variety of the thistle, which grows spontaneously all along the African coast of the Mediterranean from Morocco to Palestine. It is now cultivated extensively in France, where those which come from Brittany and Algeria are the species most highly esteemed. Even of these there are many varieties, such as the Camus artichoke of Brittany, the bronzed artichoke of Roscoff, the big green artichoke of Leon and the violet artichoke of Provence. There are also varieties which come from Italy, Spain, India and Canada, to say nothing of the Jerusalem artichoke, famous for the enormous size of its leaves. In the south of France when the crop is abundant the heads are carefully picked of all their leaves and the hearts dried in the sun, put up in sacks and stored away for winter use. These hearts when boiled in water or in a rich beef broth become soft and recover their form, color and flavor. They are then taken from the pot, the water and broth strained away, the center is filled with force meat, and they are then either fried or baked. Americana. A native of any part of North or South America is literally an American since he is a native of one of the American continents. Usage, however, has narrowed the term so that "an American" is generally understood to be a citizen or native of the United States of America, while a native of Canada, Mexico, Central or South America is known as a "Canadian," "Mexican," "Brazilian," "Guatemalan" or the like. The reason for the usage does not lie in any feeling that the United States pre-empts, stands for or overshadows the other parts of the western hemisphere, but simply in the fact that, while Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the United States of Colombia, etc., are words which admit of adjective formation, "American" is the only adjective which can be formed from the name of our country to denote its citizens or to apply to its interests, industries, cities, etc.-New York Times. To the Swift. While the morning rush was on one day a young woman followed a troller car down Broadway, running two blocks before she caught it. This she was able to do because of the jam of the traffic which retarded the car. Her efforts attracted attention on both sides of the street, and hurrying shop hands stopped to cheer her on. At Houston street, where she came panting up to the side of the car, she gasped to the conductor that she had left her pocketbook on the seat and wanted to get it. He obligingly held the car while she made a search. No pocketbook was found, but as she stepped off into the street again, her eyes filled with tears, there came a shout from behind. It was the motorman of the succeeding car, and in his hand as he leaned over his brake he held the pocketbook. "Here it is, lady," he said. "Don't cry. You only caught the car ahead." —New York I lost. Meat In Middle Ages. Much of the medieval meat, which Cobbett says was plentiful and cheap, must have been poor stuff. Until the introduction of root crops in the eighteenth century cattle and sheep did not become even moderately plump till the end of summer, while lack of fodder made it impossible to keep much live stock during the winter. On St. Martin's day (Nov. 11) arrangements were usually made for slaughtering on a large scale, and for the next six months fresh meat worth eating was practically unobtainable. Until the spring grass was again ready there was a run on salted beef and salted mutton. Salted beef is excellent—for a change. But have you ever tried salted mutton?—London Graphic. Futility of Flattery. Nothing is ever gained by flattery. To the serious man flattery in the form of sincere praise makes him more responsible and only sadder because he knows how much he falls below what is expected of him and what he expects of himself. Lip flattery makes a real man feel as though his sex had been mistaken. He feels as though he had been given curling tongs instead of a razor for his morning toilet.—New York Telegram. His Name Was In It. Lender—I've been told that Rivers' name is in old Rocksworthy's will. Friend—Yes, his name is in it. He signed it as a witness, that's all. And—good gracious! What's the matter?

Lesson VIII.—Third Quarter, For Aug.22,1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Chron. xv, 1-15. Memory Verses, 1, 2—Golden Text, Jas. iv, 8—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In the story of Jeroboam we had a sample of all the kings of the ten tribes, for there was not a good king among them. They all walked in the ways of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. There were a few—just eight. I think—among the kings of Judah who did right in the eyes of the Lord, and Asa of today's lesson was one of them (verses 1, 2). His father, Abjah, son of Rehoboam, reigned only three years (xill, 1, 2). The Lord gave him and his army a victory over the army of Jeroboam because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers (xill, 12, 18). His words in xill, 12, are always helpful—"Behold, God Himself is with us for our captain." While the story of Asa is told in part of a chapter in the book of Kings (I Kings xv, 8-24), it occupies three chapters in Chronicles (xiv, xv, xvI), the first two telling of his thirty-five years of faithfulness and blessing and the last telling of five years of disobedience. What a pity that such a good king with such a long reign should waste his later years in wandering from God! But such always is man when he turns away from God. We cannot think of Asa as a lost man, though he acted, badly at the last, but he lost part of the full reward which might have been his (II John 8; I Cor. ill, 11-15). Quietness and rest on every side and a whole hearted seeking, the Lord God marked the first ten years or more of his reign (xiv, 1-7; xv, 12-15). Such rest and peace and quietness is the privilege of every true believer, and when He giveth quietness who then can make trouble whether in the case of a nation or a man only (Job xxxiv, 29). It is our privilege thus to foraste the kingdom when the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect or service of righteousness quietness and assurance forever (Isa. xxxii, 1, 17). The same Lord is ever saying to all, "Come unto me, * * * and I will give you rest" (Matt. xi, 28-30), and it is written, "We who have believed do enter into rest" (Heb. iv, 3). The great adversary hates peace always, and so he stirred up the Ethiopians with an army of over a million to go against Asa, who had only about half as many men, but Asa cried unto the Lord his God in the words of that ever memorable prayer of chapter xiv, 11, so brief yet so comprehensive, which has helped me many a time, and will prove a comfort and strength to all who appropriate it. Every day and hour we should say, "We rest on Thee, and in Thy name we go." Compare part of the prayer of Jehoshaphat in chapter xx, 12, which we may also continually appropriate. Although the Ethiopians were such a huge host, yet because Asa relied on the Lord He delivered them into his hand, for the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in the behalf of or as in the margin, strongly to hold with) them whose heart is perfect (or whole) toward Him (chapter xv1, 8, 9). This ninth verse is and has been for long years a continual strength and comfort to me and is working in me an increasing desire to have a whole heart for Him, and to see no one save Jesus only. The Spirit of God brought a message of encouragement to Asa by Aziah, whose name means the strength of Jehovah, which is found in lesson verses 1-7, and the exhortation in verse 7 is for us also who believe, "Be ye strong, therefore, and let not your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded." Salvation is never of works, but always to him that worketh not but believeth (Rom. iv, 5); but we are thus saved by grace in order to serve the Living and True God, and all true service unto Him shall be rewarded (Luke xlv, 14; Rev. xxll, 12; II John 8). We need always the exhortation of Eph. vl, 10. "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." Asa, being thus encouraged, cleansed the land of idols, even destroying that of his own mother, but this cleansing was chiefly, in Judah and Benjamin, many of the high places still remaining in Israel, over which he had no control; and yet many out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and Simeon, and other tribes fell to him in abundance when they saw that the Lord his God was with him; all because he was seeking the Lord with all his heart and soul (verses S-15). They also renewed the altar and offered sacrifices, and there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of his reign. But the next year the king of Israel came against him, and, instead of relying upon the Lord, he made a league with the king of Syria. This brought a reproof from the Lord by Hanani the seer, who reminded Asa how the Lord had wrought marvelously for him against the Ethiopians because he relied upon Him and how foolishly he had now acted by relying upon the king of Syria (xvl, 7-9). Asa, being out of fellowship with the Lord, gave place to the devil, became angry with the seer, and put him in prison and oppressed some of the people (xvi, 10). Near the close of his reign he became greatly diseased in his feet, but in this also he turned away from the Lord to purely human help. Languages. The verse found in Genesis ii, "And the whole earth was of one language and of one people," has given rise to much speculation as to the language spoken on the earth previous to the "confusion of tongues." According to many authorities, Hebrew was the language spoken by Adam, while others state that Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldee are simply dialects of the original tongue. The Persians assert that there were three primitive languages. The Arabic, being the most persuasive, was used by the serpent in addressing Eve; the Persian, being the most poetic, was spoken by Adam and Eve, and the Turkish, being the most menacing, was employed by the angel when driving the guilty pair from the garden of Eden. Herodotus says that Psammetichus, king of Egypt, wishing to learn the language that would naturally be spoken by a person, caused two infants to be carefully guarded and kept from all verbal intercourse. When brought before him the first word the children uttered was bekos, the Phrygian for bread, whereupon it was once asserted the. Phrygian was the primeval or oldest tongue.-Philadelphin Press. For the Ultra Precise. Professor Thomas R. Lounsbury said at Cambridge in a talk on English: "But precision can be carried too far. The ultra precise, even when logically right, are really wrong. "An ultra precise professor went into a hardware shop and said: "Show me a shears, please." "You mean a pair of shears, don't you?" said the dealer. "No,' said the professor. 'I mean what I say. I mean a shears.' "The dealer took down a box of shears. "Look here, professor," he said. 'Aren't there two blades here? And don't two make a pair? "Well, you've got two legs. Does that make you a pair of men? And the professor smiled at the dealer triumphantly through his spectacles. "He was logically right, but, really, he was wrong."—Philadelphia Bulletin. What It Is Like to Fly. In "Air Craft In the Great War," by Claude Grahame-White and Harry Harper, an answer to the question "What is it like to fly?" is brief: The question has lost novelty, yet it has never been answered—never, that is to say, in a manner wholly convincing. The reason is that the sensation is indescribable—"like nothing else on earth," has a passenger has said. If you can imagine yourself gliding over a smooth surface of ice on skates you cannot feel and which make no noise, that may convey some faint idea perhaps of the feelings you experience after leaving ground. You are supported on something, yet you are not supported. You look down, and there is nothing below you but an empty void. Yet the machine rides firmly and securely, as though you were in a motorcar on the smoothest road. What is a Placer? A placer is an unconsolidated deposit accumulated by mechanical processes, carrying one or more minerals in commercial quantities. All placers are secondary deposits—that is, the material of which they are composed was originally derived by erosion of bedrock. Although it is undoubtedly true that under certain conditions nuggets of placer gold have been enlarged through chemical precipitation, yet this action is a negligible quantity in placers. Placers may be derived solely by rock weathering without water sorting, but more commonly, are the result of water transportation, sorting and deposition. Many of the richest placers are those formed by the erosion of older placers and the reconcentration of their gold. George's Father. Augustine Washington, the father of George Washington, was engaged in 1732 in making pig iron at Acockeek furnace, in Stafford county, Va., about fifteen miles from Fredericksburg, when his famous son was born. This furnace had been built by the Principio company, composed of English capitalists, as early as 1726 on land owned by Augustine Washington, aggregating about 1,600 acres and containing iron ore, Mr. Washington becoming the owner of one-sixth of the furnace property in consideration of the transfer of his land to the company. A Chinese Gutenberg. There is pretty good evidence of a Chinese Gutenberg, one Pi Ching, who in 1041 carved cubes of porcelain paste with Chinese characters, afterward baked them and "set" the porcelain type by help of parallel wires on a plate of iron in a cement bed. It is certain that the art of printing was known in the Celestial empire for centuries before it came to light in Europe. Feminine "Short and Ugly."

"Yes, and some folks persist in acting as though they were married to it." —Detroit Free Press. Saving In the Home. In systematic saving lies the secret of a successful housekeeper. Not stinting or denying, but practical, regular saving. Five or 10 cents put carefully away regularly soon means $3 or $4 with which to buy some household necessity, perhaps luxury, and money saved in this way is never missed. Money saving is a habit, once formed hard to break, and means comfort and contentment to the housekeeper who will acquire it.—San Francisco Chronicle.

W. H. Prince, pastor. On last Sunday the Sunday school convened at the usual hour. The remainder of the morning was spent in the Sunday school work. The pastor being absent, he was called to Zion Baptist Church at White Bluff. He was called upon to commune the church which is, at present, without a pastor. The pastor reports a lovely time. He states that there was a large crowd in attendance and the services were inspiring. He arrived in the city Sunday evening and preached a noble sermon Sunday night. The program for the first anniversary is now being got out. The exercises will begin Monday night August 23rd and will end on the following Monday night when the anniversary sermon will be preached. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH After a great and successful mid-summer revival meeting which closed on last Sunday night, the pastor, Rev. W. Bolivar Davis, preached a very strong sermon from the subject "The Moral Dignity of Bapti-m", which was enjoined by all present. The attendance that witnessed the baptism on last Sunday morning was very large. The Sunday school met at the usual hour and its meeting was very interesting. The B. Y. P. V. met at seven o'clock and had a splendid service. At the evening service, the pastor made a very interesting talk to the new members of the church, after which the right hand of fellowship was given to the new members of the church. A musical concert will be given on Friday night August the 27th, under the direction of Mr. John J. Hart for the pastor's convention trip to Chicago. You are earnestly requested to come and help make it a success. ST. PAUL C. M. E. CHURCH St. Paul and her people are having a good time of it in their 50th anniversary. The speakers, Rev. T. J. Goodall, D. H. Quo and W. H. Davis, took care of their parts nicely, also Mrs. M. P. Stiles of Milledgeville. Sunday is winding up day with two special sermons by Rev. J. A. Martin, pastor, and reports will be made by the two generals, Mrs. Kate Pinckney and Mrs. Dora Bruce, assisted by G. W. Johnson, and Wm. Goldwire. One interesting feature is the giving away of prizes. Mrs. Moody and Mrs. Wm. Goldwire are in the race for a beautiful center table. It goes to the one getting most funds. A beautiful rocker is given to the member who raises the highest amount. The Liberty Tailors made-to-order suit goes to the one bidding the highest amount for it over $5.00. This suit is a $15.00 suit made to order. All friends are invited to be present Sunday. ASBURY NOTES The Sunday services were elifying to the worshipers. Rev. Gordon brought the message at 11, emphasizing the need of large faith and impliceit tr-t in God, which was enjoyed by all. The pastor preached to an appreciative audience at 8:30 p. m. Services tomorrow, 11 a. m. and 8:30 p. m. preaching. Sunday school 4 p. m., special talk to men at 5:30 by the pastor under an apples of the Brotherhood, subject of 8:30 "The Elements of true leadership." EVANGELICAL MINISTERS' UNION The Evangelical Ministers' Union met in its usual weekly meeting with Rev. J. S. Stripling, presiding. By his request Rev. J. S. Jenkins conducted devotional services. The 22 Palter was then read. P. D., Rev. J. A. Halley of Atlanta, one of the union's charter members, dropped in to see us and made a very excellent talk, we were pleased to hear him. Rev. J. A. Martin responded. Rev. J. S. Stripling read a paper subject "The Millennium Age." The paper was rich with thoughts and was commended by the union. A rising vote of thanks was tendered the writer. Remember the subject for next Tuesday, "The Lord's Supper" by Rev. Wm. Daniels. All visiting ministers are invited. ST. PHILIP A. M. E. CHURCH The attendance at the morning service was good. Dr. Singleton spoke on the perfect and imperfect character. The sermon furnished food for thought. Dr. Hadley of Atlanta was present and made encouraging remarks pertaining to Dr. Singleton chances for election. The review of the lesson in Sunday school by Mr. E. J. Bruce of Tuskegee Institute was indeed an inspiration to the school. The union League meeting at St. Philip Memorial was well attended, beginning at 5 o'clock. The subject, "Be true to your ideals" was well discussed. Sunday night Dr. Singleton preached to a full house on the tribe of Ephraim and Manassah. On tomorrow night the sermon will be on the tribes of Issa- char and Zebulum. classes to take front seats are Nos. 8, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24, 30 and 48. Members on these classes are to take front seats in the middle aisle. The delegation for the District Sunday School convention left in a special car over the Central of Georgia railway Wednesday morning, August 18. The pastor and a few of the delegates are expected to return today, the remainder will return Monday. Bishop Flipper is expected to be in attendance this week and will speak Sunday. The public is cordially invited to hear the remaining of the twelve tribes sermons. F. B. B. CHURCH On Sunday night after reading the lesson Rev. Wright preached a very impressive and instructive sermon from I John 1:41-42. The subject was "The History of Peter". The meaning of the word "Peter", and the beautiful lessons shown were eloquently drawn. A most earnest and pointed prayer was offered by Den. Willie Middleton of Central Baptist Church. The B. Y. P. U. and Sunday school under their respective leaders are shaving much success. You are welcome at any of our services. BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH On Sunday morning last Rev. J. H. Rogers preached an interesting sermon subject, "Be Faithful until Death and I will give thee a crown of life". At the evening service Rev. S. J. Ross, D. D. preached from Prov. 2:29:30. A very instructive sermon on temperance and the evils thereof. The order of service, Sunday school 10 a. m. Y. P. C. B. 7:30 p. m. Preaching 8:30 p. m. mid-week service Wednesday evenings S o'clock. SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS Next Sunday night there will be delivered an interesting sermon at the East-side Tabernacle, corner Harmon and Joe streets. The public is invited. The subject is, "What Think Ye of Christ?" Good singing by the choir services begin at 8:30 p. m. THE CONDITIONS OF THE PRESENT WAR By Elder J. W. Mauns of Seventh-day Adventist Church The present war is the outgrowth of a condition similar to conditions which existed in the days of Noah. The restraining influence of the spirit of God had been resisted by the antediluvians until men were left to follow out their evil impulses. Crime, violence, immorality, blood-hol, and war were the result. Here we leave a true picture of what will be, for, "as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the son of man", Luke 17:23. John the Revelator, in speaking of the last days, says: "I saw three unclean spirit—they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, to gather them to battle of that great day of god almighty. Rehold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keep his garments, less he walk naked, and they see his shame." Rev 16: 13-15. In referring to the final outcome, he says: "The nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that should be judged, and that Thon shouldest give reward unto Thy servants the prophets, and the saints, and them that fear Thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth". Rev. 11:18. He comes in mercy to cut short the cruel work of destruction. In reply to the inquiry, "What shall be the sign of Thy coming, and the end of the world?" Jesus said to his disciples: "As the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the son of man be. For in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the days of Noah entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so also the son of man be." Matt. 24:3. 37:39. While the power from beneath is taking possession of those who have cast aside the restraining influence of the Spirit of God, a power from above will take possession of God's loyal subjects. While "evil men and seducers" are waxing "worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived," the good will be developing characters that will get a right to eternal life. The line of demarcation between the two-classes necessarily will become more distinct as time advances. Wars, earthquakes, famine, and pestilences are unmistakable forerunners of Christ's coming. Matt. 24:7-14. BETH EDEN BAPTIST CHURCH Beth Eden Baptist Church, Rev. X. M. Clarke pastor. The subject for Sunday morning was "Godly Exercise", Tim. 4:7, and for night "Appealing to God" Laun. 3:41. Both of these sermons were strong. The Sunday school showed an increase in attendance. It is hoped that a large number will be out to B. X. P. U. tomorrow. Services tomorrow as follows: preaching 11 a. m. Sunday school 4 p. m., B. Y. P. U. 7 p. m., preaching 8:30 p. m. Don't forget the picnic at the G. S. I. College, Monday August 23rd from 10:30 a. m. to 10:30 p. m., by Alexander Ellis Circle. We ask our friends to patronize us. Delight of Camel Riding. Dalights of Camel Riding: It was my first experience of camel riding and therefore interesting if not altogether charming. The saddles used on this journey were formed of large pads, one in front and one behind the hump. The driver climbs into place in front, with a huge peaked pad to keep him from falling off when the camel rises. Then the passenger mounts behind the hump, and the camel is with difficulty persuaded to rise. This he does hind quarters first, and the passenger finds himself thrust up in midair as if on a tower. The huge pad offers no possible support, and he can scarcely overcome his desire to prevent a fall by putting his feet on the driver's shoulders. That worthy, however, soon comes up to join him, and the expedition starts. The first sensation is of being astride a table, and as the miles go by the table increases alarmingly in width, and the tyro on the back seat begins to despair of ever getting his legs acquainted again. Wide World Magazine. Discontent. Success is a disease, if the reasoning of those who give the identical definition for poverty is to be followed. An excellent preventive is idleness or inertia; another is satisfaction. Find the man who is satisfied and you need look no further for human putty. Content breeds Indias and Chinas. Discontent sends Mayflowers across oceans—not the sullen discontent that does nothing, but the discontent that manifests itself in striving to better conditions, the discontent that means hard work and plenty of it. Some firms are so contented with the volume of business they have that they do nothing to increase it. But the discontented competitor is doing something, as the first firm generally finds out before going into bankruptcy. You go ahead or you go back in this world. You cannot stand still. Satisfaction too often means just that—doing nothing.—Philadelphia Ledger. June and Matrimony. The first people to adopt the month of June as sacred to Hymen, the god of marriage, were the ancient Romans, who considered June the most propitious season of the year for entering upon matrimonial relations. The Romans held that June weddings were likely to be happier than alliances contracted in any other month of the year, especially if the day chosen were that of the full moon or the conjunction of the sun and moon. They also held that of all months May was to be most avoided, as in that month newlyweds would come under the influence of spirits adverse to happy households. These ancient marriage superstitions were retained by the Christians in the middle ages, and even today June is considered by many to be pre-eminently the month of marriages. — Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Pretty Thin Milk. Old Captain Joshua Ketcham of Amityville, N. Y., was very much beloved by the summer residents who used to sail with him on the bay and catch bluefish. There was always a refreshing flavor of the sea in his talk. One day, when a party of city men were sailing with him, the conversation turned on the difficulty of getting good milk in Amityville, and they appealed to the captain to know why that was the case. "Well," said Captain Joshua, "it's been that way as long as I can remember. My wife made me buy a cow once. I bought her from Elbert Haff, up on the north turnpike, and gave him $40 for her. Elbert said she'd give twenty quarts of milk a day, and I guess she did, but you could see bottom in skir fathoms."—Youth's Companion. * It Didn't Work. The crowded car was overflowing. "Get off the step," the conductor cried. "I've got to close the door." "Don't mind me," replied the man on the step. "Close it if you like. It's true that I have a couple of sample packages of dynamite in my overcoat pockets and the windows might be broken and the roof blown off, but don't hesitate on my account. I haven't many friends, anyway, and I don't think many would sorrow over my early demise. Go ahead and close your door." Then the conductor closed it—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Her Reply.

Lesson IX.—Third Quarter, For Aug.29,1915. Text of the Lesson, I Kings xvii, 1-16. Memory Verse, 14-16-Golden Text, I Peter v, 7-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We have had a sample the kings bad and good and are not asked by the committee to consider the life of another king until the end of October. We have heard the Lord's message through several prophets, and now we are to have seven lessons on Ellijah and Elisha, two of the greatest of the prophets, both of whom, as well as Jonah, are mentioned by name by the Lord Jesus (Luke iv, 25-27; Matt. xil, 30-41). He spoke of Daniel also by name and said of all the true prophets that it was foolish not to believe all they said (Matt. xxiv, 15; Luke xxiv, 25, 27, 44; Acts lil, 21). There were false prophets who God never sent, as well as bad kings (Jer. xxil, 16, 21, 25, 26), but a true prophet was the Lord's messenger with the Lord's message (Hag. 1, 13). This is our first introduction to Ellijah, whose name signifies "Jehovah is my God," and his watchword is "The Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand" (verse 1 and chapter xxvil, 15). We are reminded of the angel's reply to Zacharia's "How shall I know?" in Luke 1, 18, 19, "I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God," and also of Paul's words in Acts xxvil, 23, "There stood by me the angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve." A true man of God has to do only with God—take orders from Him only and look to Him alone for supplies. Our Lord mentions the three and a half years without rain, and James says that it was in answer to the earnest prayer of Elijah, although he was a man subject to like passions as we are (Luke iv, 25; Jas. v, 17, 18). The reason of his prayer is found in the fact that Israel had become desperately wicked, and as to Ahab it is written of him that he did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him (I Kings xvi, 30-33). Then in the law of Moses it was written that if Israel sinned God would, among other things, make the heaven as iron or brass (Lev. xxvi, 19; Deut. xxvili, 23). Elijah therefore, in his jealousy for the honor of Jehovah, asked God to fulfill His threat in this matter that Israel might be brought to repentance. That Elijah might be out of the way of the wrath of Ahab the Lord sent him for a time to hide himself by the brook Cherith. Contrast "Get the hece and hide thyself" with "Go shew thyself" (xvii, 3; xviii, 1). The man of God has no say, no choice; but simply to obey. If God is to be seen and glorified self must be out of sight. It must be "Not I, but Christ;" "Not I, but the grace of God" (Gal. ii, 20; I Cor. xv, 10). When the Lord sends us He will provide all that we need in His own way, and when He shall ask us at the end of the journey, "Lacked ye anything?" we shall, no doubt, be able to answer as did the disciples, "Nothing" (Luke xxii, 35). In this case Elijah's food was to be water from the brook and bread and flesh brought to him every morning and evening by ravens, real, literal blackbirds, as the one Noah sent out of the ark. No other interpretation of ravens will stand. Notice that the Lord told Elijah where to go and then said, "I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there." To know the Lord's care we must be where the Lord wants us. "Strength and gladness are in His place" (I Chron. xvi, 27), but if we are not in His place for us we may miss the strength and gladness. Both Elijah and the ravens were obedient to the word of the Lord, and this is all that is required of us. After awhile the brook dried up (verse 7), and some day Elijah may tell us if he had any anxiety as he saw the brook growing less and less—probably not. If any who read this see their brook drying up, let them, remember the Lord God of Elijah and Deut. xxxl, 8. Phil. iv. 19. By the word of the Lord he is now commanded to go to the home of a widow in Zaraphath or Sarepta, who has been commanded to sustain him, and on his arrival there he finds the widow gathering sticks with which to prepare her last meal for her son and herself, for she assured Elijah that she had no provisions in the house, but a handful of meal and a little oil. Now make this as literally real as you can and say how you would feel with such a prospect. But Elijah had the word of the Lord to rest upon and he boldly assured her that there was no cause to fear, and that there would always be meal in the barrel and oil in the cruse, and so it came to pass according to the word of the Lord, which He spake by Elijah, and she and he and her house did eat many days, or as in the margin, a full year (verses 13-16). It was simple and somewhat monotonous fare—meal and oil, oil and meal—but we do not hear of any one complaining. The story of the death and resurrection of the widow's son in the rest of our lesson chapter is the first of the kind in the Bible, and has many suggestive and practical lessons. Let us lay it to heart and note verse 24 and trust the Lord to use us to give life to many. Note a similar event in II Kings iv. 32-37, by the hands of Ellsha and consider the three resurrections by the Lord Jesus and see Phil. iii. 10.

Philadelphia, Aug 8—It was not Adam and Eve who brought about the fall of man, but Noah, according to a translation of a tablet now in the University of Pennsylvania Museum. A statement to this effect was made to-day by a representative of the university. According to Sumerian theology found on the tablet, which is said to have been written before the days of Abraham and translated by Dr. Steven Langdon of Oxford University, Noah was ordered not to eat of the cassia tree in the Garden of Paradise, and when he disobeyed the curse fell on him. The curse was that he should have ill health and an early death instead of living to be 50,000 years old like his ancestors. Dr. Langdon says that the tablet is at least a thousand years older than the Genesis account of the fall of man. The tablet was written possibly 5,000 years ago, and evidently records a tradition which goes back to the early history of man. The Bablonian and Sumerian accounts place the flood at something like 35,000 B. C. The lapse of time between the creation and the flood is filled by ten Kings who reigned altogether 432,000 years. Was Secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society. Dr. M.C. Mason, 56 years old, of Cincinnati, O., the only Negro to be elected to the position of corresponding secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and one of the most noted Negro educators in America, died yesterday at John Hopkins hospital, where he had been for more than four weeks. Death was due to acute kidney trouble. Born in Houma, La., the son of a slave, Dr. Mason received his early education in the public schools after arriving at the age of 12. At a later period in life, by perseverance and pluck, he managed to go to Syracuse University, New York, from which he graduated with honors. Shortly after his graduation from the institution he became associated with the Methodist Episcopal Church and was later elected to the position of corresponding secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society, the highest position ever held by a Negro. He was the secretary of the association for 30 years. Dr. Mason has traveled on three continents, studying human conditions and relations and was regarded as an authority on questions relative to political economy. He was a member of the London Society of Arts, the American Academy of Political and Social science, the Academy of Political Science, National Geographic Society, Medico-Legal Society, Phi Kappa Beta and a number of other associations. During his life he took great pleasure in contributing articles to magazines and was well known in this country and abroad as an author of books on political economy and applied psychology which had a wide circulation. He was also a member of the Chantanqua Bureau. He was well known in this city having given a number of lectures for the benefit of his race here. Dr. Mason is survived by his widow, Mrs. M. E. Mason; one son, M. C. B. Mason, Jr.; and three daughters, Mrs. Dr. E. N. Brown, Mrs. Noblesse Boyd and Miss Mame Mason, all of Cincinnati. The body was shtpped to Cincinnati, where the funeral services were held.—Baltimore American. Editorial Pleasantries. Two editors quarreled, and one referred to the other's early career in his paper. "As for our contemporary," he wrote, "what can we expect from a man who was five years ago hawking from door to door with a donkey, and an ill conditioned beast at that?" His rival did not deny it, but in his next issue appeared the following: "Our contemporary says that five years ago we were hawking from door to door with a donkey, and an ill conditioned beast at that." He is quite right. We were so occupied. But we are surprised to find the donkey has such a good memory." A rural educational mass meeting was recently held in Millen, Georgia. Some three hundred or more representatives from adjoining states and counties were present to participate in the discussion for better educational conditions. T. M. Campbell, farm demonstration agent, with headquarters at Tuskegee Institute, gave a stereopticon lecture on farming. 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. 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. One wall of his library was devoted to rows of little cupboards or bins, each with a separate glass door and filled with cigars stacked across and across like timber to allow free circulation of air. A pointed stud in the wood above the door indicated the bin in use, and as soon as any one bin was emptled the stud was removed to above the next door and the empty receptacle refilled from the big chests which Trollope obtained straight from Havana.—London Saturday Review. * Walpole, Knight of Garter. When Sir Robert Walpole was installed knight of the garter in 1720 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 repentedly 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 asphylate 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. The Heart of a Mouse. 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." Our Mica Mines Mica mining in the United States started early in the nineteenth century. In New Hampshire, which state supplied all the domestic production until about 1888, 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.

During a discussion on finance in the United States senate one of the speakers traced the history of the various mediums of exchange, their development and changes from the days of barter to the days of gold and silver. "I call to the attention of the senate," he said in the course of the speech, "that at one time the medium of exchange was oyster shells. Oyster shells were used for money." "Dellightful" broke in the late Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. "If that system only prevailed now we could order half a dozen oysters on the half shell and pay for them with the shells." Wood Alcohol Wood alcohol is used largely as a solvent and for various chemical purposes. Beech, birch and maple are the best woods for the production of wood distillation products. Elm, chestnut and cherry are not desirable woods for the wood distillation industry, because they contain too much tannin, gums, etc. 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. 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: The Bridal Wreath. The bridal wreath is usually formed of myrtle branches in Germany. It is made of orange blossoms in France as 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. Delaware's Northern Boundary. Delaware's Northern boundary. Why the northern boundary of Delaware should 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 Pennsylvania he was desirous of owning the land on the west bank of the Delaware to the sea. He procured from the Duke of York in 1682 a release of all his title and claim to New Castle and twelve miles around it and to the land between this tract and the sea. A line that was the arc of a circle of a twelve mile radius was then run, with New Castle as a center. When the three "lower counties" on the Delaware became a state they retained this boundary.—Chicago Journal. 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. POVERTY. Poverty, my dear friend, is so great an evil and pregnant with so much temptation and so much misery that I cannot but earnestly enjoin you to avoid it. Live on what you have; live if you can on less. Do not borrow either for vanity or pleasure. The vanity will end in shame and the pleasure in regret.—Samuel Johnson.

OR AND EMBALMER FIRE AT REASONABLE RATES ROAD STREET SAVANNAH, GA. COMMONWEALTH The Plain Truth Vouched for by one hundred and five stockholders, that every body who has heard the plans of the Commonwealth Loan and Realty Co., agrees, that they formed one of the most practical business propositions that they have ever heard of. The rules governing stock buying, loans and real estate are so perfect and yet so simple that a person must wonder why some one did not think of it before now. No such inducements have ever been offered men and women of ordinary means as are now being offered by this Company. Now remember, that if you have only a small amount to invest, no matter how small, bring it to the Commonwealth. By-the-way, we are still getting some real bargains in the real estate line. one is a house on west Gwinnett street, its a "beaut". Are you a share-holder?
