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 A. W. Scott was withdrawn after being named, as his friends saw he had no show for even a complimentary vote.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)

Old Board Re-elected.
Fitzgerald, Ga., Sep. 4.—Wednesday morning, September 1st, promptly at 10 o'clock, Grand Chief Dr. B. S. Hannah, opened the fifteenth session of the grand lodge of the St. Joseph Society.

At 8 p. m. the society formed a large procession and marched to the A.M. E. Church over which Dr. Williams is the pastor and there they held a rousing public demonstration meeting. Welcome addresses were delivered by Revs. H. Smart and C. L. Wesley, and able responses were made by Dr. E. M. Pinckney, Rev. B. F. Seabrooks and W. O. P. Sherman, Jr. Dr. R. L. Heard, grand chaplain and E. W. Pope, grand recording secretary, also delivered inspiring addresses. Chief R. S. Hannah read his twelfth annual report, the best in years, as well as Rev. B. F. 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. Heard, chapain, directors: John Byrd, J. H. Spencer; W. O. P. Sherman, Jr. F J Fleming.

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.

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.

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. After the death of Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Bundy and Mr. Cooper's

NUMBER 51
GRAND LODGE OF GOLDEN CIRCLE
WILL CONVENE IN THIS CITY ON NEXT WEDNESDAY
At F. A. B. 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.

of them give out a list of clothing re-

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 be-
coming to a degree, Oue particularly

a@ smart New York day-school girl, car-
ried her Iundle of books nonchalantly
over one shoulder, and wore her velvét
tam on the back of her bright hair so
carelessly that more than L turned for

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 asoff,
drooping brim, now, modish, and just
a suggestion of trimming, is most be-
coming to young girls, The soft, grace-
ful tilt to the brim this season is par-
ticnlarly pretty and youthful. An at-
tractive little Miss from the Southland,
“whose eves are as dark as the oft quot-
ed Spanish matden’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 searlet and
gold was repeated in the carved but-
tons ‘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 siniple blouse of
baby-fiewh pink Georgette crepe. The
costume was simplicity itself, but chic,
well theusht out simplicity.
Top Coat, Sweaters and Gym .Clothes
‘A warm top coat of oné of the soft,
lightareight coating brought out this
fall, will not come amiss in any school-
girl's wargrobe; it is the handiest thing
in the world to slip on over the one-
piece frock of serge, or over the suit
for 2 cross-country walk of a motor

charmingly colored sweaters too, for

soon become shiny and shabby while

is where the one piece dress of serge

from its convenience and becomingness.

bined with soft pink, and just a touch

PRESENT WAR A FULFILLMENT
OF PROPHETIC WORD
Says Elder Manns, of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
A vey remarkable idea obtains in
the minds of many and that is, that the
war in Europe is the Jast greats 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.
Xo while the war is raging, men are
proclaiming for the future, “peace and
safety.” me a
How few know that the prophetic
word is heing fulfilled in this awful
conflict. Our great boasted civilization
hes broken down; for while nian has
undoubtedly been refined and educated
and “cultured,” it is scarcely more
than vencer, for In battle he often-

In a cartoon that appeared in one
of the late magazines, the savage’s
view of this great war was well and

j Tecords of distruction barbarity, he
exclaims in disgust: “Och! the hea-

| It is undoubtedly true that this war
between so called “christian nations”

very strangely. I am reminded of an
experience which an American mission-
Jar in the Fiji Islands had shortly
after the war broke out between Great
I itritain and the Boers, He was editing
a little paper at the time. in the Fijan
language, and some articles concern-
ing the war were, prevented to onr
Fiji readers. |
One day a Fijan christian sought
and obtained an interview. He was
exercised over the war. His state-
ment of the case from 2 native stand-
point was pointed and convincing. It

severe stricture on our advanced ef-
vilization and reputed Christian teach-
ing. .
The, nations are not ehristian.
Many individuals in all of them are;
but the narrow way to life ts not, and
can never be broad. The Bible teaches
us that in the Jast days men at pre-
pare for war and not for peace) They
are doing what God sald we may ex-
peet. Nee Joel 3:9-12.
‘There may come a Jull 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 ix the
“blessed hope,” and He is the “Prince
of, Peace.”
TREATMENT OF NEGROES
IN FLOOD AN OUTRAGE
Conthmed from first pagey
to care for,pur belongings, and ay ther
had been submerged in the storm,
naturally, clothing milewed (some
rotted). Furniture felt to pleces. (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 {n con-
demning it; it Is an outrage; it Is a
reflection upon “the army of the Re-
public, and if the government does not
frown upon such a wanton disregard
of the rights of others, it is a reflee-
tion upon the Republic.
We call upon our friends everywhere
to help us in our efforts to punish the
men who are gullty of this outrage.
They are unworthy to be soldiers of
our common — country.—Southwestern

Pesident M. W. Dogan Mistreated
Dr. Dozgan’s letter to Major Bell ex-
plains the case carefully: ‘
i © “August 24, 1915.
“Major General J, Franklin Bell,
United States Army, Texas City,
‘Texas:
“Dear Sir=I left Houston Wednes-
day morning, August 18th, in an auto-
mobile driven by H. Y. Pott, of Hous-
ton, in company ‘with T. M. Fairchild,
a colored real estate dealer of Hous-
ton, with the view of reaching Galves-
ton 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
eesen City, who gave us the first news
Wwe 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. Sev-
eral white gentlemen with whom, we
talked told us we would experience
very little trouble in reaching Gal-
yeston by that route. Wé motored
hurriedly to Texas City, and then to
the wharf to secure passage. As we
Idfe our car, wé 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 colorci
people, men and women, herded like
eattle, 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 of-
ficer‘that I was ch my way to Gal-
vestor to see.about my wife and child-
ren. His reply was, “Fall in lune”
‘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 dodg?
ing and throwing up my arm. He
then leyeled 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
qyeant-and where it would end. Mr.
Fairchild, my companion dnd affiiétion,
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 .2
‘Mr. Conway anu occupied by William
Nickerson and F. G. Perkius, of the
American Mutual Benefit Association,
a colored organization of Houston, who
were en route to Galveston to find
J. B. Gibson, oue 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 chauf-
feur of my car, 2 colored man, who
could pass for white, and who had not
been disturbed evidently becanse he
was thought to be white, approached
the ofticer and said he bad 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 ofticial—presumably one
higher up—we were allowed to get out
of line, provided we would at once
leave “Texas City for Houston. Al-
though in sight of Galveston, with the
boat ready to leave the wharf for Gal-
veston, I could only lok in the direc-
tion of my loved /ones jwhile 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 helieve that we would
‘have been detained in Texas City as
vagrants or Jeoters aud put to work
cleaning away the wreckage from the
storm. It might here be stated that in
the line of march were meu and wo-
men, many of whom appeared as in-
nocent of misdoing as we, but no white
face waS present to speak: for them,
so the last we saw of them they were |
truding up the tuuddy street. A sin;
gular thing is that not a white mann
appeared to be molested, notwitbstand-
ing many white strangers were in the
city to our certain knowledge. That
none but colored were arrested would
ale appear from the fact that Mr.
Potts, the colored man in our party,
es could be easily taken for a white
man, was not questioned, the chauf
feur of the uther car whose race ideti-
tity 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 investigution
of the highly unjust treatment that I
and my friends received at the hands
of your soldiers, and of the mistreat-
ment shown colored people generally
ax indicated above. I have been
taught from a boy up to expect from
the United States soldier fair play and
protection; ax a Joyal citizen of this
commonwealth I cannot be sxatistied
with less.

“M. W. DOGAN.”

A Roman Dinner. .
A Roman dinner at the holise of 2
‘wealthy man consisted chiefly of thret
courses. All sorts of stimulants to the
‘appetite were first seryed up, and eggs
were indispensable to the first course.
Among the various dishes we map Sn.
stance the guinea hen, pheasant, night.
ingale and the thrush as birds most in
repute. Lhe Roman gormands heid
peacocks in grent estimation, especially
their tongues. Macrobius states that
they were first eaten by Hortenslus,
the orator, and acauired such repute
‘that a single peacock was sold fer 50
denarii, the denarius being equal to
about eightpence halfpenny of English
pioney.—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
dispositign.
“Well, tell,” said the jolly one, “it’s
Pleasant to be old. We get the best
of everything—the easiest chairs, the
best places, the tenderest morgels”—
“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.”—

=" ="5* an Athtctic Heart ~ ~
The use of the term “athlétic héart™
has led to more misynderstandings
than probably any other one expres-
ston. 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 increas-
ed half an inch in girth under the ex-
erelse that he had been doing in the
gymnasium they wouid be pleased, but
when they are told that the size of
his heart is increased they are at once
very much alarmed. Active pfarticipa-
tion In almost any sport which causes
the heart to beat more rapidly will
produce an increase of size of that
muscle ag in any other muscle, and a
certain amount of this is unquestiona-
bly nature's normal and, proper way
of taking care of Ler economy. Some
people, it is true, believe that any en-
largement is abnormal, but Dr. Mey-
lan and most of the jesicians who
have followed the athlete closely would
oot 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 sched-
uled between two clubs, each club pick-
ing its flve 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 2 missing man saw standing by a
club member with a bandicap some-
where around sixteen or eightecn
strokes. His average game was about
‘98. Asa 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 be-
fore for the ‘frst nine holes. This was
an upset, but no worse.than the upset
that followed, for, after béing out in
34, he was back in 63. He got his 97,
but as no 97 was ever got before.

Tuttle and Farina.
Turtle and farina taken tocether rep-
resent to those who live on the Amn-
zon, be they white, negro or Indian-or
one of the numerous crossbreeds, what
the salmon does to the Alaska Indian,
the cocoanut to the southssea 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 pleni-
tude of farina, or vice versa. A failure
of both turtles and farina in the same
year brings great avd widespread dis-
tress. 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 un-
der a number of different names is
more or less of a staple with the na-
tives In all of tropical America from
the West Indies to Paraguay.

In an attempt to illustrate graphi-
cally the relative values for sammer
and winter wear of different colors in
dress materials an interesting experi-
ment 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, yel-
Jow, red and bla¢k, The result show-
ed in a striking way how white re-
flects the sun’s rays, while black ab-
sorbs them. re
The ice covered by the plece of
white cloth was not melted to apy ap-
preciable degree during the test, that
under the yellow strip was slightly de-
pressed, 8 deep cut was formed be-
neath the red cloth and a groove ep-
proximately twice as deep as that cov-
ered by the latter was melted under
the black fabric.
Pinched.
Perhaps the origin of oir slang term
“pinched.” meaning, arrested, is in De-
foe's poem “Hymn to the Pillory.” Im-
mured In 1703 in Newgate, Defoe con-
soled himself with the reflection that,
having meant well, he suffered unjust-
ly. This is the passage:
The first intent of laws
‘Was to correct the effect and check the
cause,
And all the ends of punishment —$
Were only future mischiefs to prevent.
“But justice is inverted when
Those engines of the law,
Instead of pinching vicious men,

——~ “Phe Artichoke.
The artichoke, which originally-came’
from ‘Barbary, is not a botanical spe-
cles, but a variety of the thistle, which
&rows spontaneously all along the Af-
ri¢an.coast of the Mediterranean fromi
Morocco to Palestine. It is now culti-
vated extensively in France, where
those which come from Brittany and
Algeria are the species most highly es-
teemed. 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-Pro-
vence. There are also varieties which
come from Italy, Spain, India and Can-
ada, 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 bolled
in water or in a rich beef broth be
come 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.

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. The vote in Beaufort will be almost even on the issue. The county* will go dry by a small majority..

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. There is every reason to believe that, this bout will be the greatest that has ever taken place in the city. Both men are experienced fighters and well matched. 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 general admission will be fifty cents and ringside, one dollar.
MISS CARGILE ENTERTAINED
On Thursday evening last, Mrs. Hardwick entertained at her home, 40th and Harden streets, in honor of Miss Lottie Cargile. The evening was pleasantly spent in dancing and card playing. A delightful menu was served, afterwhich, the guests were treated to a vocal selection by Mr. Leroy Humbert.

Georgia and came to this city when quite a boy. He was a chicken dealer in the city market for about twenty-seven years and conducted a very successful business.

ENTERTAINED FOR VISITORS
Mr and Mrs. Rufus Kent, formerly Miss Dia Mashaw, entertained a number of young people at her home on Thursday evening in honor of Miss Arnette Grayson of Beaufort, S. C. The evening was much enjoyed by all. Dancing and card playing were indulged in until a late hour then a delicious course of refreshments was served. Those present were: Miss Arnette Grayson, Lauretta Grayson, and Miss Rebecca Frazier of Beaufort, S. C. Misses Frederica and Josephine Campbell. Miss Geneva Fisher, Miss Jestine Clivedon, Miss Marion Duncan, Miss Eugenia Rivers, Miss Evelina Nixon, Miss Clara Morris, Miss Ruth Scurdy, Miss Eugenia Simmons, Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Kent, Messrs. John Delawarre, Sidney Bonner, Eugene Wethers, Edgar Carroll, John Chaney, Nevell Keys, Willie Dezon, George Daney, Willie Seabrooks, Charlie Dixon, Albert Earnest, Messrs. Calisle and Thomas of Macon and Mr. Theodore McKee of Beaufort, A. C.
Sunday was "general discussion" day at the Y. M. C. A., and every minute of the time was profitably spent by those present. The subject under discussion was, "Temptation/ and how to meet it." Judging from the enthusiasm and interest shown these general discussion days are proving to be among the most popular of our Sunday meeting. On Monday night, September 6th the All Star musical festival, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. took place at St. Philip A. M. E. Church. Those who attended do not hesitate to say that under the direction of Prof. R. W. Gadsden and Mrs. C. A. Lewis, they were treated to some of the highest class musical selections yet offered our city by local talent. Special mention is here made of the soloists and members of the choruses who gave such splendid exhibits of talent on last Monday night. The Y. M. C. A. quartett, represented by Messrs Clark, Humbert, Davis and Taylor, was far above the standard of excellence in the rendition of their selections. On Wednesday night at the association rooms the regular monthly meeting of the board of directors was held. It is pleasing to state that much constructive legislation bearing upon the future management of the Y. M. C. A. was effected. Of the new work planned, a night school and a bible study class will be put into effect at once. Those desiring to attend the night school will kindly address their communication to Prof. H. Pearson, College, Ga., and those desiring to join the bible study class will communicate with Rev. J. A. Martin of St. Paul Church. On tomorrow the special address will be delivered by Mr. W. B. Stubbs, the well known attorney. There will be special music by the quartette Meeting begins promptly at 5 p. m. at St. St. Paul C. M. E. Church, West Broad and Maple streets.
James R. Lowe who is engaged in the general hauling business at Pasadena, California, was recently given a contract by the city for removing all the rubbish from the streets.
Plans are said to be perfected for the building of a $100,000 hotel in Indianapolis to be owned and operated by colored men.
Isaac Fisher, the noted Tuskegee writer and essayist, has recently written a moving picture drama entitled, "When True Love Wins." The production will be made by colored actors.
The Hamilton-Brown Shoe factory at Columbia, Mo., is said to employ a number of colored people in responsible, well-paying positions.
Anderson and Company, bankers, of Jacksonville, Fla., recently conducted "Tag-Day" to increase the number of depositors at their bank. The plan was a success and nearly one thousand new accounts were opened. Mr. Chas. H. Anderson, the cashier, is also treasurer of the National Negro Business League.
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.

Gobert Wins Men's Doubles and Forest City Captures Mixed Doubles.
The first of a series of inter-city tourneys was held on the afternoon of Labor day on the court of the Forest City Tennis Club, located at Florence and 43rd streets. Teams representing the Gobert Tennis Club and the Forest City Tennis Club competed for honors. The tournament began at 5 o'clock, opening with mixed doubles. Entered for the Gobert Club, mixed doubles, Miss Almia Tyson and Mr. Modron Hadley; for the Forest City Club, Miss Saphronia Gaston and Mr. Chas Bonnett. It was agreed that the first five out of seven games should decide the winning team. The game was exiting from the start. 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.

MEMORIALS
In memory of Sister, M. E. BROWN.
Who departed this life July 16, 1915. Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst our beloved Sister M. E. BROWN. Be it further resolved that we bow in humble submission to Him who is too wise to err. Be it further resolved that in the death of Sister Brown Diamond Court has lost a faithful member, one whowas untiring in her efforts for the elevation of the order. Be it further resolved that these resolutions be spread on the minutes, published in The Savannah Tribune and a copy sent to the family. Oh! call it not death: It is life begun. For the waters are passed, the home is won:
The ransomed spirit has reached the shore!
Where they weep and suffer and sin
no more;
And is safe in our Father's house above.
In the place prepared by our Savior's love,
To depart from a world of sin and strife;
And to be with Jesus! Yes! This is life.

Grand Master Halidan Benedcke, of the Grand Lodge of North Dakota, in his address, says:
"The Masonic Order seems so wonderful to me that I sometimes think God must have inspired our founders to make it the unit of all creeds. 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.

When You Can't Sleep.
There is an odd theory, which many
people believe and which ts,certainly
armless, 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 plece of rubber or a rubber
overshoe or set the caster In a thick
glass dish. Taen 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 con-
tact, it Is claimed, will make you sleep
better, It is said to have cured stub-
born cases of insomnia.
—~-~ — Languages, ©
The verse found in Genesis if, “And
the whole eajth was of ong language
and of one peoplé,” has given rise to
much speculation’ as to the language
spdken on the earth previous to the
“confusion of tongues.” According to
many ‘authorities, Hebrew was the lan-
guage spoken by Adam, while, others
state that Hebrew, Arabit and Chaldee
are simply dialects of the original
tongue. The Persians assert that there
were three primitive languages. The
Arabic, being the most persuasite, 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 spo-
ken by-a person, caused two infants to
be carefully guarded and kept from all
Verbal interconrse. When brought be-
foré him the first word the children ut-
tered was, bekos, the Phrygian for
bread, whereupon it was -¥t once as-
serted 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.
“No, said the professor. ‘I mean
what Isay. I mean a shears.”
“The dealer took down_2 box of
shears.
“‘Look here, professor, he said.
‘Aren't there two blades here? And
don't two make a pair?
“Well, you've got two lege. Does
that make you a pair of men? And
the professor smiled at the dealer tri-
umphantly through his spectacles.

te was wrong.”—Philadelphia Bulletin,

A placer is an unconsolidated deposit
accumulated by mechanical processes,
carrying one or more minerals in com-
mercial quantities. All placers are
secondary deposits—that fs, the mate-
rial of which they are composed was
originally derived by erosion of bed-
Tock. Although it is undoubtedly trae
that under certain conditions nuggets
of placer gold have been enlarged
through chemical precipitation, yet this
action {s a negligible quantity in plac-
ers. Placers may be derived solely by
rock weathering without water sort-
ing, but more commonly are the result
of water transportation, sorting and
deposition. Many of thé:richest plac-
ers are those formed by the erosion
of older placers and the reconcentra-
tion of their gold,

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 Princip-
jo company. composed of English cap-
italists, as early as 1726 on land owned
by Augustine Washington, aggregating
about 1,600 acres and containing iron
ore, Mr, Washington becoming the own-
er of one-sixth of the furnace property

Lesson XiL—Third Quarer, For
% Sept. 19, 1915. *
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
“Text of the Lesson, | Kings xx, 10-21.
Memory Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text,
Hos. iv, 11—Commentary Prepared
by Rev.'D. M. Stearns.
‘This fs chosen as # lesson against in-
temperance beeause of the drunken-
ness 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, corpora-
tions are learning that men’ who are
siven to strong drink cannot be relied
upon and that it Is not the part of wis-
dom 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 $s apt to become most filthy and
beastly and has been known to affect
even priests and prophets (Isa. xxvlil,
7, 8). ,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 ean inherit the kingdom of God,
but there 4s forgiveness and salvation
for all sinners who truly turn to the
Lord and honestly receive tbe Lord
Jesus Christ (I Cor. vi, 9-11). <The con-
trast to being drunk with wine Is to
be filled with the Spirit (Eph. v, 18),
and this is the privilege of all bellevers.
‘The insanity of drunkenness, with
fs Insatiable selfishness and cruel ap-
proprlation of the prosperity of others,
is seen in the demands of Ben-hadad
upon Ahab for hfs silver and gold,,
(wives and children and everything
pleasant in bis 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 {s rejected and any other ruler
ingfalled it is always a matter of take,
take, take all that one bas (I Sam. vill,
10-18). Tow great the contrast to God,
who giveth life and health and ail
things, who gave His only, begotten
Son, and in Him life eternal“and glory
and all things freely (Acts xvi, 25;
John fii, 16; x, 28; xVil, 22; Rom. vill,
32). How desperately wicked tnd
cruel the devil must be to blind people
to fhe love of God, who giveth all
things, that he may take all they have
for time and eternity (II Cor. iv,3, 4).
There {s something more And deeper
and farreaching in this lesson chapter
than the story of drunken Ben-badad,
whom God had appointed to utter de-
struction (verse 42) because of his
sins. Ahab, king of Israel, was about as
vad as a man could be, ‘under the influ.
ence of his wicked wife, Jezebel, and
yet for Israel's suke, but chietly for His
own great name's sake, for Israel was
His people, thouzh in rebellion against
Him, He gave Abab victory over Ben-
hadad and bis associates twice, al-
though Israel's forces were like two,
little tlocks of kids, while the Syrians
filled the ‘country (verse 27), He did
this that Ahab might know Him as the
true God instead of Baal, whom he
wérshiped to please his wife’ (verses
13, 23), By this great goodness He
would if possible lend Ahab to repent-
ance, for He is not willing that any
should perish (Rom. 1, 4; 11 Pet. ill, 9).
‘Three times in this lesson the Lord
sent special messengers to Abab, twice
to encourage Lim and once to reprove
him (verses 13, 28, 38). At the frst
vietory Israel slew the Syriang 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 Abab's Lands, and so Isra-
el slew 100,000 footmen of the Syrians
in one day, and 2 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 Snctined to be merciful to
him and spare him. Ahab éalled him
“my brother” and said, “Go ye, bring
him,” so they met and made a cove-
nant one with the other (verses 31-34).
This led to the Lord's sending a third
messenger with a reproof for Ahab be-
sause he bad spared Ben-hadad, and
‘the king of Israel went to bis house
yeavy and displeased (verse 43). We
are reminded of Saul sparing Agag
mud also the best of the sheep and
dxen,‘and also of the Lord’s message |
by Samuel, “Behold, to obey is better |
han sacrifice’ (1 Sai. xv, 9, 22).
In last week's lesson we saw Jezebel
rossessed by the devil, and now we

The historical pageant, representing the progress of the Negro in fifty years of freedom, designed by Prof. W.E.B. DuBois, is to be presented at the American League baseball park during the week of October 11th. The same feature was given in New York some time ago as a part of the New York State emancipation celebration and was highly praised as a spectacle worth witnessing. A local company has been incorporated to supervise the production, which will cost several thousands of dollars and call for the services of five hundred persons. L.M. Hershaw is at the head of the producing company. Miss Fisher, of Lorain, Ohio., a graduate of Oberlin, is to have charge of the Washington office in the Pendleton building on U street. E.S.

Assistant, Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce's condition is unchanged, as far as any one can know. None but intimate friends can see him at his home on Columbia Road. He will not be in shape to open schools on the 20th and it is thought the board of education will meet the situation by naming an acting assistant superintendent and placing Mr. Bruce on leave, pending his recovery. 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.
A few days ago the Washington Herald published a special edition, carrying write-ups of many Negro institutions and biographies of representative men and women of the race. It is said that the "ad" of the Order of St. Luke, covering an entire page, cost $400, and no space was sold for less than $25. The edition is estimated to have represented an outlay of $32,000. Just how much good the edition did the colored people is a matter of conjecture among those who have thought about the matter at all.

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.
