DOCTORS MOODY AND FONVIELLE NEW PROPRIETORS Only Negro Pharmacy One of Most Attractive Negro Drug Stores in the State—New Owners Assure Public Most Efficient Service A deal that will prove of much interest is that of this week in which the Savannah Pharmacy, corner Maple lane and West Broad street, changel hands. The deal has been pending for some time and was consummated Wednesday. The new owners are Dr. W. E. Moody, who has been managing the business for the past two years, and Dr. J Earl-Pouvielle, who, until his arrival here last week, was in charge of a drug store at Camilla, Ga. Just what consideration was made to the Lee Chemical Company of Allentown, Ga. former owners of the Savannah Pharmacy, is not known, but as the business of the store is among the best done by any of the West Broad street pharmacies it is thought that a pretty stiff price was paid for it. The Savannah Pharmacy is one of the most attractive Negro drug stores in the state and the only colored pharmacy. In this city. Its situation is admirable for a business of its kind and among the patrons of the store are most of the substantial Negroes of the city. The new owners are both young men and very efficient pharmacists. Dr. Moody, who is a native of New Paltz, N. Y., is a graduate of the New York school of pharmacy and before coming to Savannah was manager of the Nyanza Drug Store, New York City. Dr. Fonvielle is a native of Gold-boro, N. C., and is a graduate from the pharmaceutical department of Howard University. Efficient service, courteous treatment and polite attention are assured the patrons of this popular pharmacy and their continued patronage is solicited by the new owners. T. GILLIS NUTTER ELECTED GRAND EXALTED RULER The election of T. Gillis Nutter, of Charleston, W. Va., for the third time as Grand Exalted Ruler of the Order of Elks was a victory for those who held the good of the order above personal ambition. Mr. Nutter has served well and was entitled to a continuance in office, regardless of the number of terms he had held. If the order could again draw on his services. It takes time to develop constructive policies and Mr. Nutter has many things in mind for the upbuilding of the order and he is willing to make sacrifices to crystallize them into action. His election was in accord with the fitness of things, and the unanimous vote of the Elks indicates that the organization was with him to a man. Mr. A. W. Scott was withdrawn after being named, as his friends saw he had no show for even a complimentary vote. GEORGIA HOME BOYS HOLD INSTALLATION EXERCISES The Georgia Home Boys Association, one of the leading social and benevolent clubs of the city, held their annual installation exercises at their rooms, St. Gaul and Orange streets, on Wednesday night. The officers were installed by Mr. Joseph Washington. The affair was a very delightful one, Chairman Frank Gillins of the arrangement committee, having everything in excellent order for the perfect prosecution of the evening's festivities. The club has a membership of 98. The officers installed are R. C. Simmons, president; Henry Shellman, vice president; Wm. Pearson, financial secretary; B. J. Mattis, recording secretary; Allen Johnson, treasurer; Samuel Rhett, chairman of finance; Joseph Bryan, chaplain; W. H. Hollis, chairman of health committee; E. M. Simmons, judge advocate; Richard Hamilton, chairman of Inv. committee; London Holmes, sergeant at arms; Henry Robinson, chief governor; Mose Johnson, marshal. TREATMENT OF NEGROES IN FLOOD AN OUTRAGE President Dogan Protests Against Treatment by U. S. Soldiers. We are publishing on page five of this issue an account of the outrageous treatment of President M.-W. Dogan of Wiley University by the soldiers of Texas City, Tex. This account stirs one with indignation. At the bottom there was not only rank race hatred but the total absence of the discriminating sense which ought to possess every officer charged with preserving law and order. This incident shows how some men utterly disregard the rights of the Negro, regardless of the standing of the Negro. Any Negro faces the presumption that he is worthless, and therefore his word counts for nothing. This treatment of Dr. Dogan in nothing less than an outrage, and the commanding officer should see to it that the soldiers who thus roughly treated Dr. Dogan should be properly punished and dismissed from the service. If the officer in charge of the camp at Texas City does not take steps to punish the assailant of Dr. Dogan, then we must take this incident to the city of Washington and lay it before the President of the Nation. Think of it, a peaceful, cultured, useful citizen was outrageously treated, simply on account of his color, when there were other men who proceeded to Galveston without molestation simply because they were white. We sympathize with Dr. Dogan, but his fate on that occasion could easily become the fate of any other, Negro, and the country would believe the dispatch that went abroad or would not be disturbed, perhaps, if no dispatch was sent. Since writing the above we have received a statement, signed by the Colored Relief Committee—Rev. E. C. Branch, chairman; Rev. S. H. McNell, H. N. Watts, and R. P. Breed, secretary. This statement gives further evidence of the mistreatment of the colored people at Texas City after the recent storm. Read what happened in a civilized country under men who have taken an oath to protect American citizens: "Texas City, Texas., August 24, 1915 "The undersigned committee represents five hundred (500) colored people, who have just emerged from one of the greatest storms in the history of this town; many are without shelter or household goods. In the face of all this, our people alone were made prisoners and forced to work on the streets five days under United States soldiers at the point of a gun. Men were separated from their families. About two hundred were guarded at night in one room, and were compelled to sleep on a wet floor without anything to sleep on. Many were slick. The men were forced to work in the rain, and oft times the guards forced them to get in ditches waist deep. "Conditions of 300 women: Our women were treated most shamefully; they were also kept under guard by the United States soldiers; many were very sick and were not allowed medical attention. If a woman left the guard house she was pushed back and threatened to be whipped if she repeated it. "One old lady was carried to this condemned building on a cot, unable to walk. Her son was not allowed to see her night or day. She was refused medical attention. "One woman who had a baby two weeks old was forced to stay there also; she may not live. "During this time there was no one (Continued on page 2. column 3) DAILY AUTO-BUS SERVICE FOR C. P. N. and I. INSTITUTE It will be gratifying news to the friends and patrons of the Central Normal and Industrial Institute to know that through the efforts of members of the trustee board of that school, a deal has just been closed, whereby a regular auto bus service has been arranged for daily, except Saturday and Sunday, to begin next Wednesday, September 15th.

Seabrooks. Dr. T. H. B. Walker preached a rousing sermon to the vast audience on Thursday night. On Thursday night also was a hot time in the election of five supreme delegates for the meeting at Houston, Tex. After the smoke had cleared away the successful ones were Rev. F. Seabrooks, W. O. P. Sherman, Jr. H. Bryant, Mrs. Bell Davis and Rev. R. L. Heard; Rev Hannah being a member by virtue of his being a member of the supreme board. The society is in a healthy condition, having several hundred dollars ahead, with a membership of more than 3,000. During the past year some 12 or more of the members died, and appropriate services were held in their memory. The society is composed of females as well as males. This meeting made a lasting impression, as a new lodge was ready to be instituted before the meeting closed. The people of this progressive city made special arrangements for the pleasure of the delegates from all parts of the state. Drs. McMillen and White. Tom Clark and L. C. Willlams assisted by Bro. A. W. Maulsby, the deputy, made things grand in every way possible. The showing made at this conclave was the best ever made. The next session will be held at Alapahia, Ga. The officers elected are Rev. B. S. Haumah, grand chief; A. W. Maulsby, grand chief; Rev. B. F. Seabrooks, financial secretary; Mr. E. W. Pope, G. R. secretary; Dr. E. M. Pluckney, medical examiner; Dr R. L.

Quite a number of delegates from all over the state is expected to be present. Y. M. C. A. CONCERT DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR The musical festival given at St. Philip Church, West Broad Street, by the Y. M. C. A. was a delightful affair and afforded Savannahians an opportunity of listening to a program which was rich, classy and entertaining. The solo work was very good as were also the two choruses. The performers who appeared on the program were the city's best and their renditions were very heartily recieved by the small but appreciative audience. CENTRAL PARK INSTI- Central Park Institute, situated several miles from the city on the White Bluff road, will begin its second year next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. An interesting program has been arranged for the opening exercises and a large crowd is expected to be on hand. Central Park Institute is operated under the auspices of the A. M. E Church and gives promise of being one of the leading educational institutions in this section. Rev. J. W. Maxwell is principal of the school. The following will appear on the program: Revs. R. H. Singleton, L. A. Townsley, P. F Curry, J A Stripling, C C Cargille, J A Martlin, A. L. Sampson, B. S. Hannah, J Brown and G. P Prescott EUREKA TEAM TAKES BOTH · GAME FROM IMPERIALS The Eureka base ball team took both the morning and afternoon games from the Imperials on Labor day at Athletic park. The games were loosely played and lacked interest. The Imperial boys were not in any shape and proved an easy mark for the Eurekas. Jackson and Warner of the Eurekas led in the batting while Heyward pitched and also caught in the morning game. In the first game the Eurekas scored ten runs, got twelve hits and had one error marked against them, while the Imperials scored five runs, got eight hits and made three errors. The batteries in this game were Heyward and Rickes and Glinn and Heyward for the Eurekas and Green and Taylor for the Imperials. In the afternoon there was a fairly good crowd out, the attendance for both games being four hundred. The score in the second game was Eurekas 14 and Imperials 8, the termer getting nine hits with seven errors and the latter, eleven hits and eight errors. The batteries were, for the Eurekas Heyward and Glinn, and for the Imperials Thomas and Howell, and Howell and Taylor, Umpires Howell and Johnson. LAWYER W. B. STUBBS AT THE Y. M. C. A. TOMORROW The Y. M. C. A is pleased to announce that the Hon. W. B. Stubbs, the well-known lawyer and churchman will be the principal speaker at the meeting tomorrow at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, West Broad street. The meeting will begin promptly at 5 p.m. There will be special selections by the Y. M. C. A. quartette. Come out and hear the boys-in their new songs. All men are invited. What the Politicians are doing and Other Events By·R. W. Thompson. The politicians are showing signs of renewed activity, as the months pass and "next year" approaches. The various elements are giving plenies, barbecues and holding mass meetings under one pretext or another, striving to get into position to be invited to take part later in some of the ceremonies, incidental to the election of delegates to the national convention and mayhap to catch a stray office that may lie around loose. Hon. Richard W. Austin, of Tennessee, was the principal speaker Wednesday night at a neighboring park, and the campaign of W. Calvin Chase for delegate to the republican national convention was launched. Dr. E. D. Williston, regarded as the most likely of the aspirants for the job of representing the colored citizens of the District at Chicago next June, is "sawing wood," but is said to be in real close touch with the real authorities of the party, and is losing no point in the game. At a recent "to do" of the Oldest Inhabitants' Association, a boom was sent aloft for Dr. Summer Wornley, who, it is intimated, would run like a sacred horse. If he consents to the use of his name, Lawyer L. Melendez King is in the race and is backed by a large section of the legal fraternity. Some "dark horses" are expected to be in at the finish. It is any body's race as the matter stands, with lots of time for the preliminary "try-outs." Somebody has come forward with a rumor that Mr. Oswald Garris-on Villard, whose activity in the interest of the colored people has made him a popular factor all over the land, has been discussing the race issue with administration leaders from a new angle, and that out of his negotiations several valuable official plums for competent colored men may drop. The rumor carried the idea that a program may be adopted whereby colored men may be named for Recorder of Deeds, Minister to Haiti, Minister to Liberia, and a consulship or so to a commercial port abroad. It is said that several prominent Wilsonites are under consideration, and that if the program does not yield all that the most sanguine expects, there will be "pay dirt" for enough to make the situation interesting to the last degree. N. B. Marshal, of New York, A. E. Manning, of Indiana, A. H. Grimke, of Massachusetts, R. T. Greener, of Illinois, and others are mentioned as favorites in the list of aspirants for official honors. It is intimated that the school question may be bound up in the political ball somewhat in which cases the friends of N. B. Marshall, who has had experience as an educator, and Hugh M. Brown, a teacher of the old regime, may "sit up and take notice". with reference to their chances for assistant superintendent to succeed Mr. Bruce. One rumor is as good as another, plausible stories are made and unmade over night. Among the notable marriages of the month was that of Miss Clara E兰达 Cardoza, of Baltimore, and Mr. Mr. Frederick J. Hamilton, of this city, Mr. Robert H. Rutherford, vice-president of the National Benefit Society, was best man, and the bride was given away by her brother, F. J. Cardoza, of Baltimore. The wedding took place in this city at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Rutherford, 1241 12th street, N.W. Rev D. F. Rivers, of Berean Baptist church, officiating. After a honey moon spent in Philadelphia and Atlantic City, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton will be at home at 1338 V street N. W. W. J. Yerhy, of Tennessee, has been transferred from the consulate at Sierre Leone, West Africa, to Dakar, further up the African coast, a consulate recently established to take the place of Ghoree-Dakar, discontinued as a consular post. The change is said to be in the nature of a promotion. Word comes that Mrs. M. J. Bundy, formerly Miss Nellie Tate, died a few days ago at her home in Zanesville, Ohio. Mrs. Bundy had been in poor health for several years. She came to Washington in the early '90's, as a mem her of the staff of the Colored American, then published by the late Edward E. Cooper. She was associated with the Indianapolis Freeman prior to coming here.

Church Largest Number of Delegates in History of Order Expected—Hon. G. P. R. John Walthour Will Preside At the Meetings. Beginning Wednesday morning, at 10:30 o'clock the supreme grand lodge of the Grand United Order of the Golden Circle will convene in this city at the First African Baptist Church, Franklin, square, in a three days' session. Much interest is being manifested in the convention by the members of the order in this city and one of the largest and most profitable sessions in the history of the order is looked for. There will be a large delegation of out of town representatives in attendance upon the sessions, in fact, arrangements have been made by the entertainment committee for the largest number of delegates ever present at a grand lodge session of this new but excellent order. Honorable Grand Past Ruler John Walthour will preside at most of the sessions. The reports which will be rendered by the grand lodge officers will probably show the order to have made more progress during the past year than any previous twelve months during its existence. A complete program of the the three day's sessions will be found on page three of this issue of The Tribune. UNION DEVELOPMENT COMPANY HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING Affairs of Company shown to be in Excellent Condition The first annual meeting of the directors of the Union Development Company was held at the headquarters, 428 West Broad street, last Tuesday night, at 9 o'clock. Mr. G. H. Bowen, president and organizer of the company, presided. The meeting which was attended by a large number of the stockholders, was one of much interest to those present and the report of the president showed the affairs of the company to be in excellent condition. Since its organization last year, the company has made rapid strides and its realty holdings are among the best owned in this city by a Negro company. The stock of the company has been meeting ready sales during the past several months regardless of the stringency of the times. Shares have been selling at $10 and will continue at this figure until the 15th of next month when their price will be raised to $12. The secretary' report showed the following: Liabilities, real estate $20,000, investments $1,291, cash on hand $234.81, total $21,525.81; resources, capitol paid in $3,802.90, bills payable $17,500, undivided profits $222.82, total $21,525.81. The old board of officers was re-elected with the exception of the secretary, who resigned, Mr. C. A. Lewis taking his place. One new member was elected to the board of directors, he being Mr. Frank Moore of Beaufort, S. C. The officers and directors are G. H. Bowen, president; J W. Jamerson, treasurer, C. A. Lewis, secretary; J G Lemon, attorney Directors: Mrs. R. L. Barnes, G. H Bowen, C C Deveaux, R. A. Harper, Mrs. W. G. Hill, J. W Jamerson, J G Lemon, C A Lewis, Henry Mears, Daniel Simmons, A B. Singfield, H. T. Slingleton, R. H Slingleton, T. F. Smalls, Sr. Frank Moore. KNIGHTS OF DAMON HEADQUARTERS The headquarters and club rooms of the Knights of Damons at 1303 East Broad street are being conducted very successfully under the management of Mr. Edward Ford. They occupy a two-story building and the first floor is used as a lunch room and the second floor, which consist of five rooms is used for meetings and social purposes. All the lodges of the order and the court of Hermion hold their meetings there. The offices of the supreme grand commander, the official and recording secretaries and the treasurer are in the building and are very conveniently arranged. Fashions for the School Girl Her Suit for Morning and Afternoon on Norfolk Lines in Tweede or Serge AND A WORD ON SPORT CLOTHES New York September 8.—Vacation's over! The Pattys and Julias and Sallys are coming from everywhere—mountains, shore and far away homes, with pretty frocks and bright, alert brains ready to absorb all the learning possible between now and next summer. The time has come for Latin, Greek, geometry and incidental fudge parties, candy pulls and midnight lunches, not included in the regular curriculum, therefore far more fascinating and, of course, basket ball and the various other gymnasium stunts to help out the physical and mental machinery. The Morning Walk Our streets are gay with them in the early morning; the bright faced happy schoolgirls. They stride by in smart, straight-heeled shoes, Norfolk suits of tweed or serge, set off by chic velvet tums, hats of velour or a softly colored felt. As the days are still bright and warm, one often sees a trim serge frock with bretelles, worn with a blouse of contrasting crepe de chine, or one of the brightly striped or dotted © MCCALL Bretelle Frock of Serge voiles. Our exclusive schools frown on an elaborate wardrobe no matter how prosperous papa may be; many of them give out a list of clothing required, with one thing uppermost—simplicity. This does not necessarily mean that the clothing must be ugly. The smart little suits and dresses of serge, tweed, or the attractive checks and novelty fabrics with contrasting collars and cuffs, are smart and becoming to a degree. One particularly smart little dress, worn the other morning was a dark blue gabardine, that practical sister of serge, which wears so well and sheds dust and dirt so effectively. It had bretelles and a wide stitched belt of the material of the skirt and was worn with an underblouse of herringbone striped crepe de Chine, cuffed with the material of the skirt and collared with sheer, crisp organdy. The wearer, who was a smart New York day-school girl, carried her bundle of books nonchalantly over one shoulder, and wore her velvet tam on the back of her bright hair so carelessly that more than I turned for a second look. The Second Suit On matinee days and Sundays the suit is a little more dressy, of French serge, gabardine, broadcloth, or one of the new satin finished materials, and is trimmed with a line or two of braid or a band of fur. An attractive hat of velvet, or satin and velvet with asoft, drooping brim, now modish, and just a suggestion of trimming, is most becoming to young girls. The soft, graceful tilt to the brim this season is particularly pretty and youthful. An attractive little Miss from the Southland, whose eyes are as dark as the oft quoted Spanish malden's, wore a suit of midnight blue velours de laine with high military collar of black silk braid, inset, between the rows of the braid, with scarlet and gold; the scarlet and gold was repeated in the carved buttons which closed the coat, Russian fashion, on the left shoulder, in the braided girdle, and again heading the hem of the short, full skirt. With this suit, which was worn one afternoon at a concert, she wore a simple blouse of baby-flesh pink Georgette crepe. The costume was simplicity itself, but chic, Top Coat, Sweaters and Gym Clothes A warm top coat of one of the soft, light-weight coating brought out this fall, will not come amiss in any school girl's wardrobe; it is the handiest thing in the world to slip on over the one-piece frock of serge, or over the suit for a cross-country walk or a motor trip. Our shops are showing some charmingly colored sweaters too, for the out-of-door girl, in stripes, checks and plain materials; for the girl who likes something "different" attractive materials come by the yard, to be made up, sweater coat fashion, with any color collar and cuffs she may desire. No school outfit is complete without a suit of bloomers of serge or light-weight flannel for the basketball, bar vaulting and all the other gymnastics demanded for the healthy, athletic school girl of today. To wear with these sweaters and top coats there are round hats in woolen mixtures, with a short quill or stick-up by way of trimming, which defy snow, hain and all kinds of weather most satisfyingly. Demand for the One-Piece Frrock It stands to reason that if the suit skirt is worn in the classroom, it will soon become shiny and shabby while the coat remains perfectly good; here is where the one piece dress of serge or gabardine is most practical aside from its convenience and becomingness. There is nothing more suitable or comfortable than one of these simple frocks in some dark shade, with one of the new sahes or belts in a contrasting fabric, and collar and cuffs, or perheps a guimpe or chemisette of organdy, voile or crepe de chene. The wash- © MCCALL Comfortable Gym Suit able gulmpe, which may be removed and laudried, appeals to many because of the possibilities it offers of freshening up the dress with a variety of gulmpes. A Word or Two on Evening Wear One of the daintiest, most becoming frocks seen for many a season, was developed in maize colored crepe Georgette with a double skirt, a simple V-neck bodice, short sleeves and a wide sash of taffeta with hand colored ends, repeating in the large conventionalized rose design, the color of the frock combined with soft pink, and just a touch here and there of African brown by way of contrast. This frock was designed for a pretty New York girl to wear at an evening party. It was perfectly suited to the occasion and was suited also to dinners and the other social demands of the young girl who has not yet made her debut. The girl who prefers the top coat with one piece frocks for afternoons, and more dressy occasions, will find a simple frock of dark blue taffeta smart and convenient. PRESENT WAR A FULFILLMENT OF PROPHETIC WORD Says Elder Manns, of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. A very remarkable idea obtains in the minds of many and that is that the war in Europe is the last great war, and that it is a war for peace. "All that is now necessary is to break Prussian militarism, and then the millenium is assured," many say. So while the war is raging, men are proclaiming for the future, "peace and safety." How few know that the prophetic word is being fulfilled in this awful conflict. Our great boasted civilization has broken down; for while man has undoubtedly been refined and educated and "cultured," it is scarcely more than vencer, for in battle he oftentimes seems as barbarous as in the days or Atina or Alaric. In a cartoon that appeared in one of the late magazines, the savage's view of this great war was well and truly presented. In his native wild site the savage, reading a "war special" under a tree, against which leans his spear. And as he reads the terrible records of distruction barbarity, he exclaims in disgust: "Och! the heathen." It is undoubtedly true that this war between so called "christian nations" must strike the pon-christian onlooker very strangely. I am reminded of an experience which an American missionary in the Fiji Islands had shortly after the war broke out between Great Britain and the Boers. He was editing a little paper at the time, in the Fijan language, and some articles concerning the war were presented to our Fiji readers. One day a Fijian christian sought and obtained an interview. He was exercised over the war. His statement of the case from a native standpoint was pointed and convincing. It was much as follows: English and the Boers are both christian people. They both employ chaplains to accompany and encourage their soldiers. These chaplains on both sides pray to the same God for the success of their respective armies. How can God answer both? When the English missionaries taught the Fijians the message of peace, we listened to it. Would it not be a good thing for some Fijian missionaries to go to Egland and preach a similar message? What could be said in answer to such a searching argument? How could the missionary explain that there is a good reason for war? What a severe stricture on our advanced civilization and reputed Christian teaching. The nations are not christian. Many individuals in all of them are; but the narrow way to life is not, and can never be broad. The Bible teaches us that in the last days men will prepare for war and not for peace. They are doing what God said we may expect. See Joel 3:9-12. There may come a hull in the storm, but peace cannot be assured. "There is no peace to the wicked," God has said. The end is near. The nations are angry; and the coming of Christ, which ends the reign of sin, is the only hope for peace. His coming is the "blessed hope," and He is the "Prince of Peace." TREATMENT OF NEGROES IN FLOOD AN OUTRAGE Continued from first page) to care for our belongings, and as they had been submerged in the storm, naturally, clothing, mildewed (some rotted). Furniture fell to pieces. (It is to be remembered that water stood from three to four feet inside most of our houses.)" This utter disregard of the rights of men and women makes one's blood boil. We need not mince words in condemning it; it is an outrage; it is a reflection upon the army of the Republic, and if the government does not frown upon such a wanton disregard of the rights of others, it is a reflection upon the Republic. We call upon our friends everywhere to help us in our efforts to punish the men who are guilty of this outrage. They are unworthy to be soldiers of our common country.—Southwestern Christian Advocate. Pesident M. W. Dogan Mistreated Dr. Dogan's letter to Major Bell explains the case carefully: "August 24, 1915. "Major General J. Franklin Bell, United States Army, Texas City, Texas: "Dear Sir—I left Houston Wednesday morning, August 18th, in an automobile driven by H. Y. Pott, of Houston, in company with T. M. Fairchild, a colored real estate dealer of Houston, with the view of reaching Galveston to find my wife and children, who had just passed through the storm. When we left Houston we intended to make it to Virginia Point, and then into Galveston over the causeway. On reaching La Marque we met scores of people directly from Galveston via Texas City, who gave us the first news we had, receiver from Galveston since Monday night; so we changed our plans, and decided to go to Texas City and then to Galveston by boat. Several white gentlemen with whom we talked told us we would experience very little trouble in reaching Galveston by that route. We motored hurriedly to Texas City, and then to the wharf to secure passage. As we left our car, we saw a long line of colored people whom we thought to be flood sufferers from near-by overflowed districts. We started around this line en route to the wharf, but an order came from a soldier near-by to fall in line. It then dawned upon me for the first time that the city was under martial law, and that these colored people, men and women, herded like cattle, were being driven they knew not where nor for what purpose, for they said they were not allowed to ask questions. I told the commanding officer that I was on my way to Galveston to see about my wife and children. His reply was, "Fall in line." When I again asked to be allowed to proceed to the wharf to take passage to Galveston, he rushed upon me and struck me viciously with a gun, which I kept from hitting my head by dodging and throwing up my arm. He then leveled his gun at me and said he would drop me if I did not fall in line. I got in the march with many another dejected, bewildered man and woman, puzzled as to what all this meant-and where it would end. Mr. Fairchild, my companion and affliction, asked several in line what they had done and where they going. Their whispered replies were they were not allowed to talk. There was another automobile in the party, driven by a Mr. Conway and occupied by William Nickerson and F. G. Perkins, of the American Mutual Benefit Association, a colored organization of Houston, who were en route to Galveston to find J. B. Gibson, one of the officials of the company. These men were also made to get in line. Mr. Conway was even ordered out of his car and told to strike the mud. "At this point H. Y. Potts, the chauffeur of my car, a colored man, who could pass for white, and who had not been disturbed evidently because he was thought to be white, approached the officer and said he had brought our party down and was responsible for us. For the first time the officer allowed a statement as to who we were, the same coming from a supposed white man. After this official had talked with another official—presumably one higher up—we were allowed to get out of line, provided we would at once leave Texas City for Houston. Although in sight of Galveston, with the boat ready to leave the wharf for Galveston, I could only look in the direction of my loved ones while thoughts of their probable distress crowded in upon me. But for the fact that Mr. Potts was with us—a colored man who could pass for white—there is every reason to believe that we would have been detained in Texas City as vagrants or looters and put to work cleaning away the wreckage from the storm. It might here be stated that in the line of march were men and women, many of whom appeared as innocent of mis-doing as we, but no white face was present to speak for them, so the last we saw of them they were trudging up the muddy street. A singular thing is that not a white man appeared to be molested, notwithstanding many white strangers were in the city to our certain knowledge. That none but colored were arrested would also appear from the fact that Mr. Potts, the colored man in our party, who could be easily taken for a white man, was not questioned, the chauffeur of the other car whose race identity admitted no question, was ordered out of his car and made to join the march. "Now, Major General Bell, I appeal to you for a thorough investigation of the highly unjust treatment that I and my friends received at the hands of your soldiers, and of the mistreatment shown colored people generally as indicated above. I have been taught from a boy up to expect from the United States soldier fair play and protection; as a loyal citizen of this commonwealth I cannot be satisfied with less. "Yours truly, "M. W. DOGAN." Southwestern Christian Advocate A Roman Dinner. A Roman dinner at the house of a wealthy man consisted chiefly of three courses. All sorts of stimulants to the appetite were first served up, and eggs were indispensable to the first course. Among the varulous dishes we may instance the guinea hen, pheasant, nightingale and the thrush as birds most in repute. The Roman gormands held peacocks in great estimation, especially their tongues. Macrobius states that they were first eaten by Hortensius, the orator, and acquired such repute that a single peacock was sold for 50 denarii, the denarius being equal to about eightpence halfpenny of English money.—Chambers' Journal. Only Once. Two old ladies, both of whom were well cared for, were once conversing about their affairs. One was a jolly old lady, while the other was of a sour disposition. "Well, well," said the jolly one, "it's pleasant to be old. We get the best of everything—the easiest chairs, the best places, the tenderest morsels"— "Yes, yes," sighed the other, forced to admit that her life was an easy one. "that's all very true, but what's the use? We can't be old but once."—Youth's Companion. CONSCIOUS VIRTUE Conscious virtue is the only foundation of all happiness, for riches, power, rank or whatever, in the common acceptance of the world, is supposed to constitute happiness will never quiet, much less cure, the inward pangs of guilt—Lord Chesterfield.

The use of the term "athletic heart has led to more misunderstandings than probably any other one expression. Laymen or parents, provided they are not of the medical profession, get a picture from this expression which is anything but correct. If they were told that their boy's thigh had increased half an inch in girth under the exercise that he had been doing in the gymnasium they would be pleased, but when they are told that the size of his heart is increased they are at once very much alarmed. Active participation in almost any sport which causes the heart to beat more rapidly will produce an increase of size of that muscle as in any other muscle, and a certain amount of this is unquestionably nature's normal and proper way of taking care of her economy. Some people, it is true, believe that any enlargement is abnormal, but Dr. Meylan and most of the physicians who have followed the athlete closely would not agree with this. Outing. Erratic Record In Golf. The world's record for unsteadiness probably goes to a certain California golfer. There was a team match scheduled between two clubs, each club picking its five best men. When the match started it was discovered that only four men had reported for one of the teams. The captain of the team that had a missing man saw standing by a club member with a handicap somewhere around sixteen or eighteen strokes. His average game was about 98. As a rule he could be counted upon to go out in 50 and come back in 48. That day, to his own amazement and to the confusion of his opponent, he was out in 34, eleven strokes better than he had ever played the course before for the first nine holes. This was an upset, but no worse than the upset that followed, for, after being out in 34, he was back in 63. He got his 97, but as no 97 was ever got before. Jerome D. Travers in American Magazine. Turtle and Farina. Turtle and farina taken together represent to those who live on the Amazon, be they white, negro or Indian or one of the numerous crossbreeds, what the salmon does to the Alaska Indian, the cocoanut to the south-sea islander and rice to the Mongolian. A short run of salmon in the Alaska rivers, a crop failure in the paddy fields of China, a hurricane in the south sea islands, all reduce to the same thing—famine. On the Amazon a shortage of turtles may be tided over by a plenitude of farina, or vice versa. A failure of both turtles and farina in the same year brings great and widespread distress. Farina is a crude, locally made product of the root of the manioc, a further refinement of which results in the tapioca of commerce. Farina under a number of different names is more or less of a staple with the natives in all of tropical America from the West Indies to Paraguay. Colors and Heat. In an attempt to illustrate graphically the relative values for summer and winter wear of different colors in dress materials an interesting experiment was recently conducted, says Popular Mechanics. Four strips of cloth made of the same material and weight, but of different colors, were placed on a cake of ice and exposed to the sun. The fabrics were white, yellow, red and black. The result showed in a striking way how white reflects the sun's rays, while black absorbs them. The ice covered by the piece of white cloth was not melted to any appreciable degree during the test, that under the yellow strip was slightly depressed, a deep cut was formed beneath the red cloth and a groove approximately twice as deep as that covered by the latter was melted under the black fabric. Pinched. Perhaps the origin of our slang term "pinched," meaning, arrested, is in Defoe's poem "Hymn to the Pillory." Immured in 1703 in Newgate, Defoe soled himself with the reflection that, having meant well, he suffered unjustly. This is the passage: The first intent of laws. The Earliest Lens. The earliest known lens is one made of rock crystal unearthed by Layard at Nineveh. This lens, the age of which is to be measured by thousands of years, now lies in the British museum with its surface as bright as when it left the maker's hands. By the side of it are very recent specimens of lenses which have been ruined by exposure to London's fogs and smoke. Following Principles. "Did you see Bibbles disappear as soon as he saw his wife coming without even waiting to see what she wanted?" "He wasn't taking any chances on that. You see, he belongs to a 'safety first' society."—Baltimore American. Real Reason. Friend—I suppose the bank examiner comes around to find out what is on hand? Banker (grimly)—No; more often to find out what's on foot!—Boston Journal. It is difficult to persuade mankind that the love.of virtue is the love of themselves.—Cicero. 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 Laon 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. Americans. 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 trolley 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 obliquely 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 Post. 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? Lender—Nothing. only I've lent him £50 on the strength of it—London Express. Not Necessary. "When you are at a loss for a suitable word do you ever apply to' your wife?" "No." replied the writer; "I don't have to. Her entire vocabulary is coming my way most of the time."—Chicago Post. Safety First The discovery that freckles are caused by too much iron in the system may explain why some girls won't go within a mile of the kitchen range.—Washington Post. Holding Back. "Me a tramp? No, sir. I'm a member of de army of toil." "I never see you toil." "I belong to de reserves."—Kansas City Journal. His is a trifling character who seeks for fame through silly reports.—Cicero.

Editor and Manager Published Every Saturday 1009 WEST BROAD STREET Phone 2171 Subscription Rates One Year.....$1.25 Six Months.....75c Remittance must be made by Express or Post Office Money Order, or Registered Letter. Advertising Rates given on Application. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah. Georgia, as Second class Mail Matter. Saturday September 11th, 1915 "With its issue of July 31, 1915, The Gazette entered upon its thirty-third year of continuous publication, every week on time. Having been in the editorial "harness" so long we feel like the dean of the Afro-American press." The Cleveland Gazette is among the oldest and most consistent race journal published. It is two years the senior of The Tribune. Hon. Harry C. Smith belongs to class of editors who have kept on the firing line. Possibly Editor W. H. Steward of the American Baptist is his only senior, else we would justly hall him the master of the colored press.' A few weeks more and the schools of the city will all throw open their doors. It will be well for parents to begin now to prepare their children for the opening day of school so that they may get a good start in the year's work. Let them see, so far as possible, that their children will have the necessary clothing to begin school right and also let them lay aside a few pennies now in order that the children may be able to purchase all the necessary books and other paraphernalia in order that they may begin their school work unhampered. The unusually classy and entertaining program which was rendered at the concert given under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association last Monday night, was deserving of by far a larger audience than that to which the many excellent performers who took part in the musical sang. It is true that the concert was got up rather suddenly and for that reason sufficient publicity may not have been given the affair or, perhaps, previous engagements might have had the call over this excellent entertainment. However, the fact remains that the vast number of music lovers of the city missed one of the best and highest class musical entertainments that has been given here in many years. It was ecellent performers on this occasion and the Young Men's Christian Association should be highly commended for giving such a high class and finished concert. We need more such events in Savannah. Our people have had far too few opportunities to attend entertainments of this callibre and our young artists too few chances of showing their talent. The Y. M. C. A. not only in this last venture of theirs but also in previous public affairs which have been given under their auspices, has offered the public a class of entertainment which will go a long way toward sharpening our appetite for high class affairs. Their work alone this line is indeed well worth the praise of all who wish to see the race develop along the highest lines, both literary and musical. Some criticism was made as to the price of admission charged at the last affair. Those who have given heed to this kind of attack must bear in mind that a concert as all other forms of entertainment, is not judged by the admission price charged but by the character of the performance rendered. Last Monday night's concert presented the best Negro talent in the city, and their work was not only commendable but excellent and was well worth the admission price charged. Savannah Negroes must learn that high class entertainment is a thing much to be desired and that a price, commensurate with the performance given will have to be charged. EDITOR OF THE MORNING NEWS DEAD Mr. E. N. Hancock, editor of the Savannah Morning News died on Thursday last, suddenly. He was at the office as usual on Wednesday night, though leaving somewhat earlier. Mr. Hancock served as managing editor of the News for about thirty-two years. We admire him especially for being outspoken against lynch law and lawlessness. For a time the Morning News was the only state journal that condemned lynching. His remains were taken to New Jersey for interment yesterday. Hon. J. I. Washington spent a few days in Charleston this week on legal business. Mr. Sam Warring, an old Beaufort citizen, is in the city this week shaking hands with his many friends. While here Mr. Warring is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Singleton, Scott street. Misses Margaret Wright and Pinky Haynes are spending some time at Aiken, S. C., en route to Asheville, N. C. Mrs. Florence Sanders and little John Powell, left for Charleston, S. C., this week to spend two weeks as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Brown. School days, dear old school days, make the little and big children's hearts leap for joy. Beaufort high school opens its fall term Monday, the enrollment this year will be the largest in the history of the school. Mr. Thomas Upright died while going to his home last Monday evening. Mr. Upright has been ill for some time, but was not confined to his bed. For a long time he was in the service of the state, as pilot on the fish commissioner's boat. His funeral took place Wednesday September 8th, from the F. A. B. Church, of which he was a member. He was also a prominent Odd Fellow, which order paid their last respects to his memory. Labor day passed off very quietly here with an excursion to Sayannah and St. Helena Island. The city was almost deserted. More than 700 people left the city Sunday night and Monday for various places. Mrs. Blanch Jackson left the city this week for New York City, where she will spend two months before returning to her home in Charleston. While here Mrs Jackson was the guest of her sister, Mrs. Rosalee Dickson, Bay street. Mrs. Lizzie Allen left the city this week for Estelle, S. C. Before returnhome she will visit friends at Hellendale and Alkcn, S. C. Beaufort to vote on recall. This is the first time that the Negro has held the balance of power since the primary system went into effect. From the outlook the Negro will vote almost solidly. Prohibition is the issue in Beaufort on Tuesday of next week. The entire state will vote for state wide prohibition. From the outlook the entire state will go into the dry column.

PROEESSIONAL BOXING CONTEST MONDAY NIGHT SEPT., 20TH The lovers of the fistic arena will be given a rear treat on Monday night, September 20th, when a professional ten round boxing contest will be pulled off at the Air Dome theatre. The contestants will be Bob Armstrong of California, one of the best known characters in the game and a famous trainer, and Andrew Johnson of New York, who has attracted much attention by his wonderful boxing ability.

Armstrong is already in the city and is working out every day at Lincoln Park. Beide the main bout there will be a semi-windup between Young Blackburn and Black Stanley Ketchel, and a four round go between Young George Dixon and the Chatham Bear Cat, also a five hand battle royal. The promoter of this bout is laboring hard to give the public an opportunity of witnessing a real first class contest and there is no reason why the Air Dome, the place where the bout will be pulled off, should not be packed to its capacity on that night.

THE SOUTHERN SR SERVES THE SOUTH SOUTHERN RAILWAY NEW TRADE MARK The Southern Railway Company has adopted a new and attractive trade mark as shown above. The sign "SR" is symbolic to the name of the road and the wording "The Southern Serves the South" is suggestive of the many lines operated by the Southern Railway throughout all of the states south of the Ohio and Potomac and east of the Mississippi rivers. There is hardly a city or town of importance throughout the entire South that is not connected with the balance of the south, either directly by the Southern Railway's own trains or by sleeping car lines over other roads in connection with Southern Railway, via some adjacent junction point. On this account the title "The Southern Serves the South" was adopted as being appropriate. Southern Railway spends about $200,000.00 a year in advertising and a great deal of this advertising is done in the Northern, Eastern and Western sections of the country so as to attract people into the South, and on all of this advertising matter this trade mark will appear hereafter.

Miss Gaston of the Forest City Club and Miss Tyson of the Gobert Club played brilliantly, each winning their own service. The execution of a ravishing stroke to the service court in a crisis by Mr. Bonnett, won the deciding game. Score 5 to 4. Miss Tyson showed great skill as striker-out, returning several difficult serves. She and Mr. Hudley played an excellent game, as can be readily seen by the narrow margin which the contest went against them. Men's doubles: entered for the Forest City Club Messrs R. W. Gadsden and Chas Bonnett; for the Gobert Club, Messrs Milton Roberson and Modron Hadley. The Goberts in men's doubles. The effective net work and difficult service of the Gobert Club proved too much for the Forest City players, who went down in defeat by a score of 5 to 2. CARD OF THANKS Mr. and Mrs. S. M.

The order is not meant to take the place of the church, but nevertheless it combines the different faiths in a unit, where no contention exists; it encourages education in all its branches; it broadens its members and is indeed the brotherhood of man, of good men, of trusty friends, of those who delight in doing good to their fellowmen and assisting and upbuilding of the communities in which they live. We do not claim to be saints nor so much better than the profane, but we do aim to be a society of human intelligence of those who show consideration to the rights of others, and who believe that happiness to others is happiness to us. I often wish I had been born a Masonic student and writer, because I have seen so much of the beasties of Masonry that I know that such a life would be an ideal, but I am thankful for what I have learned, and shall delight in reading what the real students of our Order produce." Before an elaborate capstone can be shaped, it is taken in the rough from the quarry by common labor. So it is in Masonry; before a brother is fit to adorn a prominent place he must have passed through the several preparatory stages.—Texas Freemason. A true Mason speaks of his brother behind his back just as he would speak to his face. Masonic Epigrams If you show no interest in your lodge it is not bound to show an interest in you. Masonry does not require of its members a single duty which they are not capable of performing, and which is not compatible with honor and justice. Fly from the gossiper and slanderer as from a viper; their place is in politics, not in Masonry. Do not be simply good; but be good in some particular thing. Happiness does not consist in doing that which we like, but in liking that which we do. Certain men are very busy to make friends; others are very lazy to make enemies. Think of your present blessings and you have them surely; not of your past misfortunes. Let us be what we are and say what we think, and in everything faithfully sustain the truth. Many lodges have too many members and not enough Masons. Many Masons will do better to complain less of not being understood, and to endeavor more to understand others. Freemasonry has frequently softened the horrors of war, but it was never responsible for a single war in the history of the world.—Tyler Keystone The lodge is judged by its members. This may not be fair nor logical, but it is the case nevertheless. We must accept things as they are, not as they ought to be, and govern ourselves accordingly.—Chronicleer. There is a proposition pending in the Grand Lodge of Nebraska to abolish the office of Grand Treasurer, the Grand Secretary to perform the duty of the office. Be Reconciled "Agree with thine adversary quickly." Such is the injunction, and it should be especially applicable to Masons. If your brother wrongs you, go to him in the proper Masonic spirit, and he reconciled, if possible. If you have wronged your brother, or have done him an injury, go to him swiftly and make the proper amends. That is the manly thing to do. It requires moral courage of the highest order to apologize to one you have wronged. It is only the bully, braggart, the one who lacks real principle, who refuses to apologize when he is clearly in the wrong. Such a man does not possess the true Masonic spirit. Anger, hatred, revenge have no place in the heart of a Mason. Therefore—Be reconciled to your brother. The brotherhood of man is no idle dream. And Masonry will aid in bringing it to pass. Should Practice What we Teach Masonry insists upon not only a recognition of its etachings, but that the daily life of its disciples shall conform thereto. Ritualism is the form, but it becomes a thing of life and influence only when it is incarnated. The line of demarcation may be sharply drawn. The Mason who subscribes to the doctrine but fails in its practice is not beyond the death line, but the Mason who practices its teachings is not only a disciple but a doer, and he is always helped in the doing. The object in the way of the dissemination of the doctrine of Masonry is embodied in the persons of those men who are constantly violating the obligations which were solemnly taken at her altar. The doctrine of Masonry discloses exalted moral ideals, but these ideals will never be enjoyed by the man who does not exert himself according to her teachings. Every member of the craft should seriously consider this matter and ask himself the question: Am I living up to my obligations as a Mason? If not, why? The practice is too general, that Masonry is Masonry and business is business. But Masonry is honest business, good citizenship and correct living. What Masonry has joined together, let no man put asunder. God and true Masonry recognize this union and by precept and example enforce it. Therefore every conscientious Mason adornes every relation of life by a just and consistent practice.—Orphan Friend. Says an eminent educator: "Wherever Masonry is strong, there you will find good public schools, and growing better year by year." In your lodge content to make Masons according to the methods of the older Craftsmen—the real and enduring kind—or have you been bliten with commercialism—desiring speed, great output and large revenues—and have you installed the Mason-making machine?—American Freemason. Hats Off to the Flag. "The greatest tribute I ever saw paid to the stars and stripes," says Colonel Payson Bradley, past commander of the Massachusetts Grand Army, "was not on American soil. When the Ancient and Honorable Artillery landed at Liverpool on its visit to England in 1859 the line of march was crowded with over 100,000 persons. When we unfolded Old Glory we were struck with surprise at the cheers which went up from those English people. As we marched along every man, from the Prince of Wales to the lowest bootblack, took off his hat while the stars and stripes passed. I would like to see that happen once in Boston or New York before I die." -Boston Record. The Inquisitive Antelope. An antelope is as curious as a woman. If the hunter will lie down in the grass and wave a red handkerchief a band of antelopes will keep circling around until within reasonable distance for a safe shot. After completing a circle the antelopes halt suddenly and bring down one fore foot with a vigorous stamp on the ground, and at the same instant they make a sort of snort that sounds like a half whistle. That is the propitious moment for peppering them with rifle balls.—Exchange. Henty's Young Critic G. A. Henty, the writer for youth, frequently got letters from admirers all over the world asking for his autograph and offering criticisms of his books. In a story of the peninsular war he made two boys disguise themselves by staining their faces with iodine. Shortly after the book was published he received a letter from a boy, who said he was a chemist's assistant, stating that while that special incident was represented as taking place in 1808 iodine was not discovered until 1811, three years later. A. Perfect Example The paper speaks of a certain argument as being tactfully yet forcefully phrased," said the young student, "What would be a good example of that?" "My son," returned the father, "can it be you have never lent ear to your mother's able representations on the periodical occasions when I return home on pay day?" By Experience. "Have you learned anything in the way of business during your four years' loaf at college?" demanded the pater. "Sure!" said Reginald. "I can write the dandiest line of dunning letters you ever saw." "Humph!" ejaculated the pater. "Who taught you that?" "My creditors," said Reginald.-Life. A Story of Browning. Browning himself couldn't always explain his meaning at first reading. Dr. Furnivall, founder of the English Browning society, frequently consulted the poet as to the meaning of some passage in his works. "Bless me," Browning would say, "I really have forgotten what I did mean, and as I haven't got a copy of my works by me I really can't enlighten you. Just lend me the book, there's a good fellow. I'll look it over at my leisure and try to find out what was in my mind at the time." Greetings In China. The Chinese salutation when friends meet consists in clasping the left hand with the right and waving it up and down, at the same time bowing deeply, or, if unusual respect is wished to be evinced, the Chinaman bows as low as possible, swinging his clasped hands between his legs backward and forward. Knows His Business. "You may have to play many parts in life, my son, but you don't have to play the devil," says a Georgia philosopher. "He's equal to performing that task himself without a flaw in the work."—Atlanta Constitution. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XI.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 12, 1915. Text of the Lesson, I Kings xix, 8-18. Memory Verses$_{2}$, 9, 10—Golden Text, Ps. xlvi, 10—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. "And Ahab told Jezebel all' that Elijah had done." She was the ruling spirit in the house of Ahab, the leader in the worship of Baal, and had 400 prophets cat at her own table (xvl, 31; xvli, 19), and was one of the most devil controlled women that ever lived. Now she was indeed angry and swore to have the life of Elijah within twenty-four hours xix, 1, 2), and he fled for his life from this angry woman and came to Beersheba, which means the well of the oath and should have made him think of the faithfulness of the everlasting God (Gen. xxl, 31-34). This does not look like the same Elijah who stood so grandly-with and for God on Mount Carmel, but it is another evidence of the utter failure of man apart from God, as the Lord Jesus said, "Severed from me ye can do nothing" (John xv, 5, margin). It is truly pitiful to see this man of God in the wilderness, under this tree, wanting to die; but the secret of it seems to be that he had begun to think himself of some importance and necessary to God. Notice his thrice repeated, "I, even I only, am left; remain a prophet of the Lord" xvii. 22; xix. 10, 14). He evidently thought that the hundred whom Obadiah saved were not worth mentioning, and he did not know that the Lord had 7,000 who would not worship Baal xix. 18). Self in any form, even religious self, is very bad and a great hindrance. The only safe way is, "Not I, but Christ," "Not I, but the grace of God" (Gal. it. 20; I Cor. xv, 10). Even the apostles failed by seeking greatness for themselves, so we all need Jer. xix. 5, As for God, he is always gracious and full of compassion, for he knoweth our frame, he remembereth that we are dust (Ps. cili. 8, 13, 14). Elijah had been through a great strain, physical and mental, and was simply worn out. The Lord pitted him and gave him sleep and sent an angel to prepare food for him and let him sleep and eat twice, and in the strength of that food he went forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the Mount of God (raises 5-8). How wonderful is the food which God provides, either for soul or body. We think of the bread and fish by the sea of Galilee for the men who had toiled all night and caught nothing (John xxl, 9) and of the way He fed Israel for forty years in the wilderness. We shall see that this discouraged man who wanted to die never did die, and after some 900 years we see him alive and well, with the only other two forty day fasters in the Bible story, on the mount of transfiguration. Let all faint and discouraged ones look up and see Him who so tenderly careth for us, and pitheth us, and notices whether the way is long or short, and just how much strength we have, for He said to Elijah by the angel, "the journey is too great for thee" (verse 7). There are many thing too heavy and too painful for us, but there is nothing too hard for the Lord (Ex. xviii, 18; Numb xi, 14; Ps. xxiii, 16; Jer. xxxvl, 17. 27). It may not be easy for us to understand why Elijah took that long journey to Horeh, but when he reached the word of the Lord came to him, saying, "What doesent thou here, Elijah?" (Verses 9, 13). Twice the question was asked him, and twice he answered in the same way, that he was jealous for the Lord God of hosts, that Israel had forsaken His, convenient, that he was the only prophet left, and that his life was being sought (verses 10, 14). That he was the only prophet, if it had been true, would seem to be a good reason why he should have remained, and not run away. Fear for his life does not sound well from Elijah. The poor man was evidently quite out of fellowship with God, and much occupied with himself. The God who could rend the mountains with a mighty wind, make the earth to quake and send fire from heaven (verses 11, 12), was certainly capable of caring for His servant, and it seems to us as if Ellijah might have relied upon Him. It is not always His way to do great and mighty things, and what Ellijah needed now was quietness to hear the still small voice. The golden text for this lesson has been well chosen. Instead of special zeal and energy, which is often of the flesh, how often we need to be still, stand still, sit still, rest in the Lord and wait pattently for Him. The Lord's instructions to Ellijah must have been very humiliating to him: "Go, return on thy way, * * * anolant Elisha to be prophet in thy room, * * * I have left me 7,000 in Israel who have not bowed unto Baal" (verses 15-18). That looks like a setting aside of the man who had been so grand for God. There are certain people whom God cannot use—the fearful or the self indulgent, as in the case of Glideon's army, or the self important, as in this lesson. He looks for the weak and empty ones, the things that are nought with which to bring to nought the things that are. When he wants a man He knows where to find him, as when he found Saul and David, and Moses, and Amos, and now Ellisha. And he called each from their ordinary occupations, as he did also some of the apostles. Gabriel probably found Mary busy in household duties. 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.

Four new members were given the right hand of fellowship and two babies were baptised at the eleven o'clock service Rev. C. P. Perry led the services Sunday at the communion. The sermon on Sunday night to the various tribes by Rev. Singleton was very interesting. The following classes composing the tribe of Rubin will have their special sermon by Rev. Singleton on Sunday night. The classes are Nos. 17, 21, 25. On Sunday afternoon there will be a sacred concert given at St. Philip Church under the onspices of the Tribe of Juda.—An entertainment, an evening with Dunbar at a poor man's party, will be given on Wednesday evening September 22. Every class leader in the various tribes must see every member on their class before next Tuesday night, and tell them what is expected of each member and what their class is assessed.—We have quite a number of members on the sick list, Mrs. Gertrude Anderson and Mrs. Daisy F. Allen are improving. The following services will be held on tomorrow: prayer meeting 5:30 a. m., preaching 11 a. m., Sunday school 2:45 p. m., preaching S:15 p. m. FIRST A. B. CHURCH The Sunday services were edifying to those present. The pastor preached at 11 a.m., subject, "Little Things." At night a special sermon was preached to the Friendly Sisters Society. In his discourse he urged them to discuss the moral and physical welfare of their members at least once a month. The church wishes to extend a welcome to this society and to all other societies to come and worship with us. There will be services all day Sunday and every member is asked to do his duty by being present to one of these services. On Sunday morning Miss Charlotte Junus will sing a solo. The Sunday school meets at 3:30 and B. X. P. Y. at 6:30. On last Sunday at both services the pastor was remembered by the choir and members and an appreciative purse was given him, and on Monday night by a large delegation from the church he was presented with another present given by the Metoka and Galeda classes of the Sunday school. BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Butler Presbyterian Church, East Broad and McBromough streets, Rev. S. T. Reed, pastor. The services Sunday were very interesting. At the morning hour the text was, "But. Grow in Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ", at the evening hour, "So Jonah was Exceedingly Glad of the Gourd". Sunday school was largely attended. Mr. Joseph Trotty led the discussion at Christian Endeavor meeting. The musical and literary part of the program was exceptionally enjoyed. Services for Sunday: 11:30 a.m. preaching, Sunday school 10 a.m. Christian Endeavor 7:30 p. m., preaching 8:30 p. m., prayer meeting every Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. You are welcome to worship with us. GOOD WILL BAPTIST CHURCH Good Will Baptist Church, Rev. W. H. Prince, pastor. On last Sunday the Sunday school met at the usual hour. On Sunday night the services were conducted by the pastor. He spoke from Mark 1:30, subject, "Jesus as a Matchless Physician." The communion services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. SECOND BAPTIST CHERCH On last Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service the pastor, Rev. W. Bolivar Davis, preached an impressive sermon from the subject, "The Keys of the Kingdom." The message was full of truths and facts, and was enjoyed by all present. The B. Y. P. U. met at the usual hour and had a very lively meeting. The meeting on tomorrow evening will be led by Miss Etta Camick. You are cordially invited to be out with us. At the evening service the pastor preached a soul stirring sermon from the subject, "Peace". The attendance for the day was good. On Monday evening the pastor left with the Savannah delegates to attend the National Baptist Convention which meets in Chicago. Ill. The pastor will also take his vacation on this trip. The chances are that the convention will accept the invitation of the Savannah delegates to hold its 1916 session with the Baptist churches of this city. Services tomorrow as follows: prayer meeting 5:30 a. m., preaching 11 a. m., Sunday school 2:30 p. m., the Lord's supper 3:30 p. m., B. Y. P. U. at 7 p. m., preaching 8:30 p. m. F. A. B. CHURCH, BOLTON STREET B. Y. P. U. every Sunday evening at 7 o'clock sharp. Good music and good discussions every Sunday. Visitors are always welcome. CAMPING WITH 19,000 SPIRITS CAMPING WITH 19,000 SPIRITS A veritable "spookland" is Lily Dale, New York State, when its hundred cottages and innumerable tents are occupied during a six weeks' encampment by professional spiritualistic mediums, clairvoyants, "psychometrists" astrologers and "healers," who assemble each year and practice their weird acts for believers and unbelievers alike. A two page illustrated article in next Sunday's New York World Magazine Section, will explain what happened on this most interesting occasion. Order from your news dealer in advance. THE FIRST LESSON AN EDUCATED MAN MUST MASTER The first lesson the educated man must master is that of learning how to learn. Set a dance down with a book, and he makes dog's ears on the corners of its leaves. Turn an uneducated man loose in a library and he is like an ant in a treasure house of jewels. You begin to be educated when you are first taught how to learn. A lifetime is all too short for training, and there are "finished schools" neither for young ladies nor old gentlemen. From all we can guess, the life beyond is also a school where wisdom speaks to every teachable spirit in the words of the angel. "Behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it." A man may be content in some present ignorance. If he knows how to find out what he needs as each necessity arises. Another quality which marks the educated man is that of order and proportion. The wheels of his mind go forward; they do not merely go round and round. He knows how to get at his tools. A mind full of disorderly and unrelated information is like a workshop full of tools whose owner is never able to lay his hand upon the one he wants. What is the use of a walking encyclopedia with no index? The educated man knows how to relate himself to companies and circumstances. He is adaptable. Education is a matter of right adjustment to life. It makes good sons and brothers, fathers, neighbors, citizens. He who, with slight opportunities in schools or libraries has learned to fit with efficiency and without friction into all companion-ships and conditions, has high claims upon the title of an educated man. A blight which often falls upon the souls of men who have studied long and perhaps bear learned titles is the blight of a narrow and ungeneral view of life. They end at a barred window, and not at an open door. Sympathy puts the crown upon the head of the educated man. He has a fellow-feeling for all man, because his wide experience of life has enabled him to understand them. Mingled in this sympathetic attitude of the educated man is humanity that grows out of knowledge. He stands with Newton on the shore, aware of the wide, unattempted sea. He knows that the corner of knowledge where he works, though but a corner, is yet related to all learning and all places where others are at work. He has seen theories and opinions pass in the dawn of better knowledge, and is not too insistent that his own scheme of thought shall suffice for other men and ages. He keeps his mind sweet with humanity and faith, open to all the genial airs of kindly fellowship that blow. The educated man grows to that high quality and wisdom which can only come through the experience of life with others. "Wisdom is the principal thing," without which "knowledge puffeth up." But love buildeth up," the apostle hastens to add to that hard saying. Man exists for personal relations, in which his best powers have play and his best joys are born. The educated man is supremely practiced in high personal transactions with God and with his fellowmen. In these relations his individuality is not sacrificed, but heightened. He becomes more himself as he gives more to others. In the thought of Christ—the man of no school but that school of sympathy and thought from which he graduated with the title of "The Son of Man"—in the thought of Christ the completely educated man is he who is most successful in obedience to the great commandments of love of God and man.—The Congregationalist, Boston. Thanksgiving. The first national Thanskgiving proclamations were issued by congress during the Revolutionary war. When You Can't Sleep. There is an odd theory, which many people believe and which is certainly harmless, that sleeplessness may often be cured in the following odd way: Move your bed out into the room so that no part, of bed or covers will touch the wall. Then place under each caster of the bed a piece of rubber or a rubber overshoe or set the caster in a thick glass dish. Then go to bed, making sure the covers db not touch the wall. Thus the bed and yourself will be cut off from all electric contact with floor or wall. Such absence of electric contact, it is claimed, will make you sleep better. It is said to have cured stubborn cases of insomnia. 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—Philadelphia Press. For the Ultra Precise Professor Thomas R. Lounsbury sald 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. "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?

In "Air Craft In the Great War," by Claude Graham-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 Accokeek 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 P1 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. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XII.—Third Quarfèr, For Sept. 19, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Kings xx, 10-21. Memory Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text, Hos. iv, 11—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This is chosen as $\alpha$ lesson against intemperance because of the drunkenness of Ben-hadad and the thirty-two kings who are said to have helped him, all of whom were drinking themselves drunk in the pavilions (verses 12, 16), and were thus more easily overcome by the small army of Israel. In our own day railroad and other corporations are learning that men who are given to strong drink cannot be relied upon and that it is not the part of wisdom to employ them, no matter how efficient they may be. Not only does such sin and folly take away the heart or understanding, as in the golden text, but it is apt to become most filthy and beastly and has been known to affect even priests and prophets (Isa. xxvill, 7, S). It is utterly selfish and sensual and turns the heart away from the Lord (Isa. v, 11, 12, 20-23). Neither drunkards nor any other unrighteous people can inherit the kingdom of God, but there is forgiveness and salvation for all sinners who truly turn to the Lord and honestly receive the Lord Jesus Christ (I Cor. vi, 9-11). The contrast to being drunk with wine is to be filled with the Split (Eph. v, 18), and this is the privilege of all believers. The insanity of drunkenness, with its insatiable selfishness and cruel appropriation of the prosperity of others, is seen in the demands of Ben-hadad upon Ahab for his silver and gold, wives and children and everything pleasant in his home and the homes of his servants (verses 1-6), and yet strong drink has done and is doing just that in numberless homes today. When the Lord is rejected and any other ruler installed it is always a matter of take, take, take all that one has (I Sam. vili, 10-18). How great the contrast to God, who giveth life and health and all things, who gave His only begotten Son, and in Him life eternal and glory and all things freely (Acts xvil, 25; John ill, 16; x, 28; xvil, 22; Rom. vili, 32). How desperately wicked and cruel the devil must be to blind people to the love of God, who giveth all things, that he may take all they have for time and eternity (II Cor. iv, 3.4). There is something more and deeper and farreaching in this lesson chapter than the story of drunken Ben-bhadad, whom God had appointed to utter destruction (verse 42) because of his sins. Ahab, king of Israel, was about as bad as a man could be, under the influence of his wicked wife, Jezebel, and yet for Israel's sake, but chiefly for His own great name's sake, for Israel was His people, though in rebellion against Him. He gave Ahab victory over Ben-bhadad and his associates twice, although Israel's forces were like two little flocks of kids, while the Syrians filled the country (verse 27). He did this that Ahab might know Him as the true God instead of Baad, whom he worshiped to please his wife (verses 13, 28). By this great goodness He would if possible lead Ahab to repentance, for He is not willing that any should perish (Rom. 11, 4; II Pet. 11, 9). Three times in this lesson the Lord sent special messengers to Ahab, twice to encourage him and once to reprove him (verses 13, 28, 38). At the first victory Israel slew the Syrians with a great slaughter, but they came again, saying. We were defeated because the gods of Israel gre the gods of the hills; therefore we will fight against them in the plain and surely overcome them. Because they talked thus the Lord said by His second messenger that He would deliver this great multitude of Syrians into Ahab's hands, and so Israel slew 100,000 footmen of the Syrians in one day, and a wall fell upon 27,000 more and killed them, but Ben-hadad made his escape and hid in an inner chamber (verses 28-30). The king of Syria's servants planned a scheme by which they might learn if Ahab was inclined to be merciful to him and spare him. Ahab called him "my brother" and said, "Go ye, bring him," so they met and made a covenant one with the other (verses 31-34). This led to the Lord's sending a third messenger with a reproof for Ahab because he had spared Ben-hadad, and "the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased (verse 43). We are reminded of Saul sparing Agag and also the best of the sheep and oxen, and also of the Lord's message by Samuel, "Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice" (1 Sat., xv, 9, 22). In last week's lesson we saw Jezebel possessed by the devil, and now we see two men with the same trouble, Ben-hadad and Ahab, and yet the Lord would have used Ahab had he been willing, but he preferred a compromise with the king of Syria rather than faithfulness to the God of Israel who had given him two such wonderful ricories. So it is still; the mighty God, the God of Jacob, is ready to hold strongly with all whose hearts are whole toward Him (II Chron. xvI, 9, margin), but many professed servants of the Lord prefer to be friendly with some Ben-hadad rather than be faithful to God and rebuke their sin. "Busy here and there" (verse 40) with many things that are not of God describes the life of many a preacher, and rather compromising with certain wrong things because of the standing of the persons who do them than rebuke the wrong. -WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST.

John W. F. Smith, for years a capable clerk in the office of the public schools, and closely in touch with the details of the colored divisions, is very favorably mentioned in connection with the the temporary assignment. In the meantime Superintendent E. L. Thurston is looking after the duties usually performed by Mr. Bruce.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEK LY LETTER (By J. C. Lindsay) In May of 1913, the local branch of the National Negro Business League was organized. During the life of this organization, many commendable things have been accomplished by it. Notable among the big things accomplished we mentioned in our letter of last week, which tells in no uncertain way of the usefulness of such an organization and the part it is playing in combining the Negro's financial strength and putting him on record as a business factor in this community in a way, as nothing else heretofore has done. We were only a few months old when the National Negro Business League met in 1913 and because of our recent organization at that time, we did not have a representative at that national meeting. Represented Regularly Since At each of the subsequent national meetings we have had a representative on hand to inform the other Negro business men coming from every section of this our common country, that Savannah, yea, fair Savannah is still on the map with the finest climate and best people who are learning, as the days go and come, to forget all past differences and injuries, whether they be real or imaginary. Co-operation the Slogan Not only are Negro business men crying aloud for co-operation in Negro financial affairs, but many of the Negro ministers whose clothes and food, and indeed everything they possess, come from members of the race, are giving side talks and lectures from time to time on the importance of Negroes spending their money with Negroes, as far as possible. This is as it should be. Many of these great men, (preachers) not only feel that they should preach of the blessings and beauty of the paradisiical region over in the sweet beyond, but they should join in with the practical Negro business man and assist in the preaching of the gospel of Negro co-operation, which will aid the Negro business man in turning the many thousands of Negro dollars in to the Negro trade channels, which are now wild and finding their way into the coffers of the foreigners and others from whence no Negro dollar has ever been known to return. An Opportunity for Service. This is exactly where the Negro ministers who are the recognized leaders of the Negro people and will be for the next fifty or hundred years to come, should shine. These good men have the ears of the people from two to five times each week. Some of these good men are making use of the opportunity to serve the people in their racial uplift work, while many others do not. With reference to the real good which one may do for the material benefit of his fellow man, we can think of none of which the race stands more in need of than that which helps one to actually make good on the job. There is no charity equal to that of showing people how to help themselves. Proud of His State and City. This is the impression that our representative, A. B. Singfield, made upon the other delegates of the National Negro Business League held in the city of Boston, a few days ago. Because of the newspaper account of the disgraceful affair of the lynching of a certain life time convict near Marietta, in Colb County, this State, many of the delegates from northern and eastern cities were disposed to use sarcastic remarks concerning (not in the meeting place of course) the danger of Negroes using free speech and acting as men in the southern portion of this, our common country. At his first opportunity to gain the floor our representative was on his feet. Now listen to what the daily Boston Evening Globe (white) says with reference to our repre-entative: "The most enthusiastic boomer of the Southland was A. B. Singfield of Savannah, who said he wasn't afraid to declare himself from the South, 'and from Georgia at that.' Mr. Singfield is prominent in the insurance business, and a director in several banks and business institutions of his city. He declared the colored, people of Georgia were living on the best of terms with the whites. 'Conditions in the South are not so bad as they are pictured," he declared, emphatically. "We are enjoying a free atmosphere. There is no segregation. In fact, the white people are like jalk—they never disturb you unless you first disturb them." These manly words of defence coming from our representative, tho a thousand miles from home and in an atmosphere entirely out of harmony with that from which he came, causes not only the members of the Negro Business League to feel that their interests were intelligently looked after and safe guarded by their representative but the community as a whole feels that the Negro business league is entitled to a claim on their support, if for no other reason than to have some manly man like our representative to stand up in open meeting and say that every Negro man in the South is given an opportunity to do business with members of his own race, if he elects so to do. A Chance to Make Money Every member of the race has a chance in the south and especially in in Savannah to turn everything into money that he touches, provided, he only knows how. There is no laws enacted in this state nor any state in the south prohibiting Negroes from trading with each other. Members of the race in the South may have banks, insurance companies, real estate corporations, stores shops play houses or what not, and there is no one, nor is there any law to prevent it. Therefore it is absolutely up to the Negro himself as to whether he will succeed or fail. The question uppermost in the minds of the members of the Negro Business League, is, which will it be? Our next meeting will be on this coming Friday night, September 17th, and it is hoped that all members will ig present and let's begin for a great revival of interest in Negro enterprises for the fall and winter season. Come early and bring a friend and discuss the plans for our fall and winter business campaign and hear the report from the National Negro Business League. BUSINESS LEAGUE ASKS FOR STRONG SUPPORT Heretofore, the Business League has not made much effort to put itself on a strong financial basis. We believe the time has come for it to adopt the method of similar business organizations in this and other cities. We find that they appoint financial committees which provide for their expense several years in advance. With the question of revenue settled, we could then plan our work and work our plan. It would require $25 per month to run the league in keeping with its reputation at home and abroad. We think we are asking the Negroes of this city for a very modest sum when we know there are certain enterprises among us which alone profit almost that much as a result of its influence. The Income is pitilably small compared with the amount of work it is expected to accomplish. Some of our members, either for them-selves or the institution they represent, could well afford to pay a half dozen or more memberships, 25 cents each per month, or at least pay a dollar monthly for a work of this kind. It is to be hoped that the proprietors and managers of the larger institutions will see to it that these funds are provided in advance and thus relieve the executive officers so they may apply their energy to business getting for all the members. No other organization exactly fills the place of the Business League. That it is a useful institution is generally conceded. That its scope of work can be largely broadened and its general usefulness greatly increased is as willingly conceded by its present officers as by the most critical member. But to accomplish the aim of the League, which is to advance the interests of Savannah and Chatham county general, and the wedfare of every Negro man, woman and child in particular, requires the hearty support of all our citizens. This support must now take the form of financial assistance. We hope to have a committee visit all of the present members and those who should be members. Meet them in a cordial and liberal spirit. The task is not a pleasant one and the only reason for undertaking it is that we want to do our part in advancing the interest of the race in Savannah. The business league has payed an important part in the advancement of the business interests of the race in this city, and its future spheres of usefulness depends largely upon the results of our efforts along this line. New enterprises are being launched and our duties and opportunities for good are correspondingly increasing. Let us all, therefore, take off our coats, roll up our sleeves and work with might and main to place on a firmer foundation the Business League who e-purpose is to serve the whole people "With malice toward none and charity for all." A. B. Singfield, president W. W. Hill, secretary. LOUISVILLE HAPPENINGS Mr. Edward, Jordan has just returned from a trip to Indian Springs and other north Georgia points.
