Churchmen Hold Stormy Session
CONSTERNATION FILLED BAPTIST 35TH MEETING Charter Nearly Caused Riot—Rev. A. D. Williams of Georgia Tossed Verbal Bomb.
The 35th annual convention of the National Baptist Convention opened at the 1st Regiment Armory, and the Olive Baptist Church, Wednesday, in one of the largest gatherings in the history of the association. The often talked of split showed its spirit in the beginning of one of the most stormy meetings that had ever been witnessed in Chicago. Men and Women watched in amazement the verbal battles between the contending factions, which often came near terminating in blows. Police were stationed at the armory in large numbers; an injunction was reported to by one of the factions-
Two metings were held in the same hall, the only dividing line being the distance and force that the voice that the other speaker could reach and drown' the voice of the other. Singing and yells were resorted to, to drown the voices of opponents as they attempted to talk; bitter personal arguments were used between individual members of each faction. It was a miniature war.
The strongest fight was made over the new charter, which was presented by Rev. R. D. Brooks for adoption, which was discussed at length by Heri E. C. Morris, president of the board, and Dr. R. H. Boyd. The discus-sion was continued to Thursday with the house still hopefully divided, and the two factions facing each other from the speaker's stand, and the follower-dividing the speakers' back to back with chairs turned in opposite directions and the contending forces using every means possible to make it impossible for the other side to be heard. Hundreds sought the open and on the sidewalks, or left the meeting entirely.
While the men were in heated discussion at the armory out at the Olive Baptist church, the headquarters of the women delegates, every thing was serene. It was one of the most splendid bodies of women that had ever gathered under the roof of that famous church. On Thursday Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of the Baptist training school in Washington, was the speaker of the day, the entire program being devoted to the interest of the training school—Cincinnati Idea.
PINEY WOOD CLUB ROOMS
The Piney Wood Club has opened club rooms at 525 Waldburg street, west, and they are very comfortably and conveniently arranged. The building which is a two story wooden structure, is large and airy. The first floor front room will be used as a meeting room and the two small rooms in the rear will serve as sitting rooms for ladies. The second floor consists of five rooms, the front room being used as a reception room. The building is well appointed and nicely adapted for the services of this popular club. The members' entrance will be on Waldburg street and the ladies' on Burroughs. The formal opening will take place on Thanksgiving day.
DIED IN THE BLOOM OF LIFE
Mr. Theodore Merchison, who had just entered manhood, was stricken by the grim reaper death on the night of September 12th after an illness of about five months. He was buried from the First Bryan Baptist Church, of which he was a member on Wednesday afternoon last. Rev. Howard Smith, in the absence of the pastor, conducted the ceremony. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Merchison, a sister, Miss Romecita Merchison, and a brother, Master Frank Merchison. The many friends of the bereaved family extend their sympathy.

ECHOES.OF THE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING IN BOSTON
"Side Lights" on and the "Aftermath" of the Most Successful Session:
(By R. W. Thompson)
Every comparison between "fifteen years ago and now" found odds in favor of the League.
A. B. Singfield held up the banner of Savannah, Ga., nobly, telling in emphatic language and unstudied eloquence the story of the growth of business enterprises among the Negro people of his home town. Mr. Singfield watched the proceedings closely and was one of the most potent factors on the floor of the convention.
The policy of the Savannah Tribune in carrying a weekly letter on the doings of the local business league was highly commended. The example set by The Tribune should be followed wherever there is a local league and a newspaper of the race.
The trolly ride was delightful. Seven car-loads of enthusiastic sight-sayers were carried all over the historic town, and were given an opportunity to see, with their own eyes such memorable spots as the Boston City Hall, the State House, the famous Boston Commons, the Cri-pus Attacks monument and the place where he fell in the first struggle of the Revolutionary war. the Shaw Memorial, the Old State House, Old South Church, Faneuil Hall, Bunker Hill monument, Harvard College, and the old homes of Longfellow and Lowell. The announcements in the officers' car were made in clean-cut and mellifluent tones by that orator and state-man. Stewart E. Hort, chairman of the Citizens' Committee.
No one could go astray as to the program of each day, for the details were given most luminously at each session by Jacob W. Powell, the tireless chairman of the publicity committee. Mr. Powell was on the job from revelle to taps, and was a veritah ebureau of information.
The Boy Scouts did yeoman service in assisting the housing committee. They were picture-que in khaki uniforms.
The reception at the handsome $10.00Unity Club, 228 West Canton street, following the trolley ride, was one of the finest affairs of the week. The parlors and rear garden were crowded during the two hours allotted to the function. A luncheon was served, embracing all kinds of sandwiches. Boston baked beans with brown bread, cream and punch. The club is social and beneficial and numbers among its members the best young men of Boston. The president is John B. Morehead. Assisted by his officers the throng was presented individually, to Dr. and Mrs. Washington and the staff of the Business League.
The "thriller" of the welcome addresses was that delivered Wednesday by William H. Lewis, former assistant attorney-general of the United States. His eulogium on the relation of the Negro business man to the salvation of the race and invitation to journey with him through an allegorical jauce covering the historical points of Boston, together with the lessons drawn from the world-wide conflicts, in which the darker people of the earth gave promise of coming into their own, constituted an oratorical gem of the purest ray serene. A rich vein of humor permeated the entire deliverance, which converted the grave and the gray into a delicious intellectual salad that satisfied every appetite. Mr. Lewis realized the grandeur of the occasion. He met it and mastered it. He was warmly congratulated by all.
STATE MISSIONARY HERE.
Rev. A. A. Mathis, state missionary and the National Baptist House representative will conduct a mass meeting on Sunday school workers tomorrow He will preach at the First A. B. Church, Franklin square, at 11 a. m., and at the Second Baptist Church at 8 p. m.
MRS. ALLEN'S SCHOOL
Mrs. Aurelia E. Allen's school of millinery and dressmaking will. open October 11th. A large enrollment is expected this year.
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH, 1915
DR. N. A. THINNER
DR. E. J. TURNER ELECTED HEAD OF KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TABOR
The sad intelligence of the death of Mr. Luscius L. Lee of Atlanta, Ga., reached us on Monday, the day of his death. While his friends here were aware of his illness, the announcement of his death was a shock to them and it was received with much regret.
Mr Lee is not only well known here, but all over the state. He was porty, good natured and always full of life. It was always a pleasure to his friends to have him around. He is especially well known by all of the members of the Odd Fellows. At one time he was Deputy Grand Master of the Order in the United States and was Grand Treasurer of the District Grand Lodge of this state. He was also a member of Crystal Lodge No 112, of Masons of Atlanta and at the time of his death chief mentor of the Knights of Tabor of the state.
Mr. Lee was 61 years of age, having been born in Covington, Ga., in 1854. He has been living Atlanta for many years, and conducted the foremost undertaking establishment in the state. He is survived by a son, Mr. Wm. S. Lee; one daughter, Mrs. Addle, L. Jackson; two brothers, Messrs. Thomas and B. C. Lee, the latter of Washington, D. C.; two sisters, Mrs. Lessie R. Ware and Mrs. Gussle Knox; eight grand children, several nieces and nephews, and hundreds of friends. All of his relatives are in Atlanta, except one brother who resides in Washington.
A very touching scene was enacted at the dying moment of Mr. Lee. He held the hands of his grand son Ralph, clasped in his until his spirit had flown. He was fond of little Ralph, who has neither mother nor father.
The funeral will take place tomorrow from Big Bethel A. M. E. Church, at 2 o'clock p. m. It will be largely attended, and all of the orders of which he was a member will attend.
The bereaved family, has the sympathy of all of their friends.
ORDER HOLDS FINE SESSION AT ASBURY CHURCH
200 Delegates Here
Resolution on Death of Chief Grand Mentor L. L. Lee Passed by Convention—Order in good Financial Condition—Meet Next in Americus
In one of the most harmonious sessions in the history of the order, the International Order of Twleve, Knights and Daughters of Tabor of Georgia, held their thirteenth annual session here this week and elected Dr. E. J. Turner, of Columbus, Grand Chief Mentor. The convention assembled Tuesday at Asbury M. E. Church, Gwinnett street, and adjourned Thursday night about 11 o'clock.
Owing to the death in Atlanta this week of Grand Chief Mentor L. L. Lee, who was head of the order for the past four years, there was much interest manifested in the fight for this position. The two candidates for the office were Dr. E. J. Turner, of Columbus, and E. W. Sparks of Atlanta, the former winning out on the first ballot by a comfortable margin.
Dr. L. M. Hill of Atlanta was re-elected chief grand scribe, no one opposing him for the position. D. D. Simpson, of Waycross, was elected Treasurer over Tom Holmes of Atlanta and Mrs. Sarah Wade, also of Atlanta, was elected grand recorder. Mrs. E. Lock, of Thomaston, was re-elected chief grand priestess.
The report of Chief Grand Scribe Dr. L. M. Hill, which was in pamphlet form, was received with much enthusiasm by the body. It showed the order to be in excellent condition both numerically and financially. He gave the number of tents in the state to be 24; temples, 35; and tabernacles, 75, the total numerical strength being about 3,000. The recent death of the past grand chief L. L. Lee, cast quite a gloom over the convention and appropriate resolutions were passed by the body on his death.
The out of town convention delegates were accorded a very enjoyable time by the local committee which had charge of their entertainment and they all spoke in the highest terms of their stay here. The next session of the convention goes to Americus.
Dr. DANIELS BACK HOME
Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, one of the three Odd Fellow commissioners to the Jubilee and Exposition, which took place in Chicago, Ill., a few weeks, ago, has returned home. The other commissioners representing the Odd Fellows were James Adair of New York and Major Charles Colburn of Wilmington, Del. Dr. Daniels reports the exposition as being a great success. He was one of the speakers on Odd Fellows day.
ABLE EXPOSITION OF WORK OF THE ODD FELLOWS
Biennial Report of Grand Secretary Davis in Pamphlet Form.
We have been favored with the biennial report of the Grand Secretary B. J. Davis, of District Grand Lodge No. 18, G. U. O. of O. F., and that of the Sinking Fund Commission. In this report Mr. Davis gave an able expoition of the work accomplished by him and in a plain and business like manner, gave account of his stewardship. The report makes interesting reading and proves what can be accomplished by able leadership and united action.
The report proves that this order in Georgia is in a healthy condition, despite the fact of there being so much factional feeling and bitterness charged during the past two years. The recent Athens's meeting goes into history as one of the best ever held and it will do much to influence harmony and good will in the state. This will not be wholly so, because there will always be those of opposite opinions who, will never be convinced. All of the members of this order should join in pushing its mammoth affairs and give credit to those who are doing the work.
NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION TO MEET IN SAVANNAH
We have received a telegram signed by the Rev. W. Bollvar Davis and Rev. T. Jefferson Goodall, stating that they were successful in having the National Baptist Convention to meet in this city in 1916.
Several other places opposed Savannah for this honor and offered great inducement, but to no avail. Much credit is due these two able divines and the others, Reverendls Wright, Gray Whitmire, Davis and those who associated with them.
EUREKA CLUB HOLDS INTERESTING INSTALLATION
The Eureka Aid and Athletic Club held their annual installation of officers at their club room, Masonic temple, on Monday night. They had as their guests the ladies' branch of the club and the officers of the Twilight Reapers Aid and Social Club and the Savannah Home Association. Mr. H. T. Singleton acted as installing officer and performed his part of the ceremony with much credit. After the officers were installed, the president for the ensuing term, Mr. H. S. Scott, took charge of the meeting. He made a few remarks then called upon one of the representatives of the Savannah Home Association, who spoke briefly on the need of co-operation. At the conclusion of his remarks the members and guests repaired to the dining room where a sumptus repast awaited them. At the table Mr. Joseph J. Brown acted as toast master. Talks were then made by the president of the ladies' branch, Mrs. Lizzie Biggins, and by a representative of the Twilight Reapers Aid and Social Club. The refreshments were very tastily prepared and the serving was under the direction of Mr. John A. Gadsden, chairman of house. Mr. Gadsden has held this position for five years and is very popular among the members. His business like manner in handling this part of the club's affairs has brought much success. The newly elected officers are men of experience and a successful operation of the club will be conducted under their administration. The following are the officers: H. S. Scott, president; T. J. Carter, vice-president; T. H. Green, financial secretary; Chas N. Williams, recording secretary; Chas M. Mathis, treasurer; L. H. B. Goodwin, advocate; B. H. Hicks, chaplain; John A. Gadsden, chairman of house; Walter Seny, sergeant-at-arms.
The Eureka Club is one of the foremost organizations of its kind in the city and has made great progress. Its membership is probably the largest of any civic society here.
HEALTH VIEWS.
Next Wednesday night at Mt. Bethel Baptist church, Bryan' near Lumber street, Rev. W. A. Daughtry, pastor; pictures depicting health and sanitary conditions, with several civic views will be shown, and short talks on each given. This will be under the auspices of Dr. W. A.

HOME - BOYS. KEPT ROOSTERS
FROM CROWING.
The Royal Roosters' base ball club failed to crow as they are generally known to do, when they met the Sayannah Home Boys, at Athletic park on last Monday afternoon. The game which was played before about half hundred spectators was full of all kinds of stunts. The Roosters had defeated every team that faced them this season met their waterloo when they bumped up against the Home Boys. They proved no match for the Home Boys and went down in defeat by a score of 12 to 5.
In the first inning the Home Boys began working on Henry Howell who was doing the twirling for the Roosters and who, by the way, has the reputation of being the best colored local pitcher, by putting three runs over the plate. In the same inning the Roosters were blanked by Patterson, who wrenched his arm in this inning and was displaced at the close of it by Croker.
The score was tied by the Roosters in the second inning and remained so until the fifth when they scored again. In the seventh inning the Home boys put one over tipping the score again, but in the same inning the Roosters scored again, the score at the close of the seventh inning standing 5 to 4 in favor of the Roosters.
The Home Boys came in in the eighth inning and pounded Howell at will and had him up in the air. During the onslaught the Home Boys rent the air with yells and when the mist had rolled away the victors had added eight more runs to their credit. Howell was completely knocked out of the box in this inning, and the "sick chickens" walked off the diamond refusing to continue the game. This game is looked upon as a great victory by the Home Boys because of their defeating a club which had taken all the games it had played up to that time.
Jesse Sherman of the Home Boys was the star of the day, pulling down a long fly to center, which seemed impossible. The batteries were: Patterson, Croker and Kibbons for the Home Boys and Howell and Johnson for the Roosters. Home Boys 12 runs, 12 hits, and 5 errors; Roosters 5 runs, 6 hits and 3 errors; umpire 'Small.
PROF. WILLIAMS GOES TO BIRMINGHAM, ALA.
Prof. E. C. Williams, who for the past several years has been doing special work with the Guaranty Mutual Life Insurance Company, will leave Monday for Birmingham, Ala., where he will be in charge of the Latin department of Miles Memorint College.
GOLDEN CIRCLE HOLDS SESSION
The Golden Circle is holding its grand lodge session here at the F. A. B. Church, Franklin square. The meeting is being presided over by Honorable Grand Ruler John Walthour. The meeting convened on last Wednesday morning and will probably close today. A number of delegates from out of town are in attendance. This order was instituted several years ago in this city and has grown rapidly. It has a large membership, and is, composed mostly of women. It is likely that all the present officers will be re-elected.
The Sensible and Comfortable in Dress
The Sensible and Comfortable in Dress
We May Follow Fashion to the Last Letter Without a Misgiving.
THE NEW PLAID BLOUSE
Ney York September 15. With an amiability as surprising as it is sudden, Dame Fashion has introduced a sensible dress—she has done it more thoroughly, too, going into every detail, than the most rigid dress reformer could ever have hoped for. The war, with its sobering influence, has done more at one stroke than could have been accomplished by years and years of arguments. The short, full skirt, the trim dark tailored suit, sparsely and smartly trimmed hats, good sensible, rather high, walking boots with straight heels, washable gloves—and so down to the last detail. All this has been brought about with no sacrifice of becomingness or chic.
The Popularity of "Sport Clothes"
Time was, not very long ago, when
"sports clothes" were left without a moment of hesitation, to the wardrobes of the leisure class, who had time for sports; nowadays, we find "sport
© MCCALL
Frock of Taffeta and Crepe Georgette clothes" or in other words, comfortable, sensible clothes, in every wardrobe. It is quite as exhilarating as the walk itself to come down the avenue any of these crisp, refreshing mornings behind a maid or matron dressed for walking. All Paris walks in the Bois these days, you know, and so we might say all New York walk on the avenues, unless we except those who select the Drive because of its brisk river breeze.
The smart suit of tweed cut Norfolk fashion, with short pleated or circular skirt, plenty of pockets both for use and for chic; a small hat, heavy gloves, and heavy shoes, in tan or black, is a favored costume. Then there is the girl with a sport skirt of corduroy, coat of vividly colored velours with hat of velours, and low heels shoes of tan. Their stride has all the grace of movement of the athlete, not hampered by tight skirts, unsteady heels, or discomfort of any kind.
The Separate Skirt.
Since the introduction of the shirt-waist, ever so long ago, the separate skirt has had its own special niche in the will dressed woman's wardrobe; this season it promises to be even more useful than ever before. It is made moderately short, flares in the approved fashion, and is finished with a belt at the normal waist line or slightly above the normal. It is as conservative or as much trimmed as fancy dictates. Perfectly plain, depending upon material and cut alone for effect, it is smart; trimmed with line after line of stitching and quantities of buttons, it is also smart—in a different way.
The New Plaid Blouse
Chief among the pleasing novelties in the blouse line, we must place the blouse of plain taffeta. The plaids or checks are not pronounced: coloring are soft, almost invisible, harmonizing well with the suit of dark blue serge or gabardine. The green and blue combinations are most popular although one sees also some attractive reds combined with blue or green. These blouses are especially suited to the tallored suit. The crepe de chine blouse still holds its own for suit wear, too, in soft pastel pink, yellow and lavender.
The open collar is still worn, but among the newest and smartest of the fall and winter blouses one sees the high collar in its various forms. There is no doubt that the high collar is more becoming than the low one to the majority of women. To make a
compromise with comfort, many of us will wear them high in neck and open to below the curve of the throat in front. This style of collar has a softening, becoming effect especially attractive with coat suits.
A Word or Two on Materials
A word of two on materials
For walking suits and skirts these is no more satisfactory material than tweed; this is being turned out in our American mills this season in some wonderfully attractive mixtures—warm, light of weight and of excellent quality. The wool checks and plaids are effective too; there is quite a tendency this season to use the Glen

Urquhart and the various other men's suiting plaids for women's suits and skirts; when carefully tailored the result is unusually smart as well as being most practical. The use of leather for trimming the purely out of door suit is growing in favor; leather cuffs, belt and often collar, are features of some of the new suits. For those to whom this novelty appeals—there is the piping of sleeve or kid in some soft harmonizing shade which may be applied to suit or frock even by those who make their own clothes.
The modish woman this season leaves no loophole for criticism by those who invariably scoff at fashion—even if she lives up to the last letter in her street clothes. Most of us too will, because of these new fashions, join the out-of-door girl in her morning walk.
CO-OPERATIVE COMPETITION
Ashort Cut to Racial Prosperity
"If the colored grocery men could in "If the colored grocerymen could in selves from bad creditors, it would do much to help them to greater success." This statement was made at a recent meeting of the local Negro Business League of Tuskegee, Ala.
Progressive white merchants in many localities are now co-operating to regulate the extension of credit and to extend their business through joint advertising plans and uniform system of price and store service. Colored men who happen to be in the same line have petty jealousies among themselves which tend to weaken their effort. Instead of "knocking" and trying to undersell one another, they should combine for the common cause—reaching the strings of the colored family purse which is constantly open to purchase food, clothing, and other necessities. Such co-operation would eliminate duplication of effort and thereby increase returns at decreased cost of selling.
If our business men in each community would come together in accordance with this suggestion, the following plan would, if put into operation, do much to reduce losses from bad debts: 1 Call a meeting of all coldred business men and instruct each man to bring in a list of his customers. 2 Combined these lists alphabetically into one complete list and opposite the name and address of each customer place some symbol to indicate their rating. For instance, "AI" might represent "good risk"; "IE3" might represent "slow pay, but responsible"; etc., until every person in the town has been listed and rated so as to protect these business men.
3. Each merchant could then keep a complete list of these names for reference when about to extend credit to a customer. Great care should be taken, however, in keeping the meaning of the symbols confined to the knowledge of the business men who have co-operated under the plan. This list being no more than a confidential understanding between these men for their mutual protection.
Access to this list would be of great value to grocers, tailors, shoemakers,
doctors, dentists and all business and professional men of the race.
In somewhat the same way these merchants could co-operate to advertise their business. A half page in the local colored paper may be purchased and several forceful and pointed advertisements of the "reason-why" style could be inserted in this space to show the many reasons why colored people should patronize colored business enterprises and some where in the advertisement the names of the local merchants who have taken part in the plan should be inserted, and would in that way be associated with an idea which is both novel and progressive. An endless variety of these advertisements can be prepared on account of the breath of the subject and the many reasons which may be advanced. At the same time this plan would secure more active co-operation from the colored publisher to the mutual benefit of the members of the race. In case no colored paper is published in that community, the matter may be put up in the shape of a circular or a letter and sent direct to every colored person in the city.
Cooperative buying should be considered under this discussion, but we shall reserve it for a separate talk, since its field is somewhat complicated and it could best accomplished after the credit and advertising plans are worked out and confidence between the merchants established.
Detailed information concerning these plans will be furnished to the business men of any community, free of charge. If a letter is addressed to Emmett J. Scott, secretary, the National Negro Business League, Tuskegee, Institute, Ala.
Local Negro Business Leagues should take steps to organize committees at once, to organize these credit and advertising clubs, and in communities where no leagues are in operation a letter should be addressed to the secretary of the National Negro Business League concerning them.
NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS
Reported by the National Negro Business League.
The National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses recently held their annual meeting at Raleigh, N. C. The sessions were attended by delegates from many states and cities.
The Negro Odd Fellows of Georgia have in successful operation a Model Demonstration Farm near Macon, Ga. The farm consists of 281 acres, 110 of which are under cultivation.
The colored Federated Charities of Memphis, Teum., have just published their annual report. During the past year they have reached and helped over-five thousand persons. H. C. Shepherd is president and V. W. Broughton, secretary.
Joseph J. Attwell has been appointed general manager of the South Carolina division of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company; the well known Negro insurance company of Durham, N. C. Mr. Attwell will have his headquarters at Columbia, S. C.;
Dr. H. M. Green of Knoxville, Tenn., has done very commendable work this summer in connection with bettering the health of the children of his county. Recently a large group of children were his guests for car rides to nearby cities. Mrs. J. C. Horton of Guthrie, Okla., was recently re-elected president of the Oklahoma State Federation of Negro Woman's Clubs. Mrs. Horton is widely known for her successful work in establishing a library for the colored people of her city.
The Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias which recently met at Columbus, Ohio, reported some very substantial financial and numerical advancement. Over half a million dollars have been handled through the executive officers since the last meeting and the enrollment of members now stands 250,000 of the Pythians and S7,000 of the Courts of Calanthe.
A Thought for the Week.
A Local League in Action—A report from the local Negro Business League of St. Joseph, Missouri, says in part: "The local league here has increased its membership threefold and is endeavoring to fill the place in the community for which it is ordained. The outlook to that end is very encouraging. The basic plan of action as adopted is 'one thing at a time.' For the present the task before us is that of getting our institution of charity, a colored hospital and orphanage for Northwestern Missouri, organized and endowed. Of course there are many minor activities engaging our attention from time to time as our league is becoming the clearing house for all ideas, projects and efforts of a social and economic nature."
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 at once asserted the Phrygian was the primeval or oldest tongue—Philadelphia Press.
For the Ultra Precise.
Professor Thomas R. Lounsbury said at Cambridge in a talk on English:
"But precision can be carried too far. The ultra precise, even when logically right, are really wrong.
"An ultra precise professor went into a hardware shop and said:
"Show me a shears, please."
"You mean a pair of shears, don't you?" said the dealer.
"No," said the professor. "I mean what I say. I mean a shears."
"The dealer took down a box of shears.
"Look here, professor," he said. "Aren't there two blades here? And don't two make a pair?
"Well, you've got two legs. Does that make you a pair of men?" And the professor smiled at the dealer triumphantly through his spectacles.
"He was logically right, but, really, he was wrong."—Philadelphia Bulletin.
What It Is Like to Fly.
In "Air Craft In the Great War," by Claude Grahame-White and Harry Harper, an answer to the question "What is it like to fly?" is brief:
The question has lost novelty, yet it has never been answered—never, that is to say, in a manner wholly convincing. The reason is that the sensation is indescribable—"like nothing else on earth," has a passenger has said. If you can imagine yourself gliding over a smooth surface of ice on skates you cannot feel and which make no noise, that may convey some faint idea perhaps of the feelings you experience after leaving ground. You are supported on something, yet you are not supported. You look down, and there is nothing below you but an empty void. Yet the machine rides firmly and securely, as though you were in a motorcar on the smoothest road.
What Is a Placer?
A placer is an unconsolidated deposit accumulated by mechanical processes, carrying one or more minerals in commercial quantities. All placers are secondary deposits—that is, the material of which they are composed was originally derived by erosion of bedrock. Although it is undoubtedly true that under certain conditions nuggets of placer gold have been enlarged through chemical precipitation, yet this action is a negligible quantity in placers. Placers may be derived solely by rock weathering without water sorting, but more commonly are the result of water transportation, sorting and deposition. Many of the richest placers are those formed by the erosion of older placers and the reconcentration of their gold.
George's Father:
Augustine Washington, the father of George Washington, was engaged in 1732 in making pig iron at 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 1,000 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 Gutshberg.
There is pretty good evidence of a Chinese Gutenberg, one Pl 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.

Gold In Ancient Rome.
Willlam Jacob in his “History of the
Precious Metals” estimates from the
accounts given by the Roman writer:
that in the reign of Augustus, the first
of the emperors, when Réme was at
the height of its power, the amount of
gold in the Roman empire was nears
$2,000,000.000. This vast treasure had
been gathered chiefly by conquest from
various nations of Europe, Asia and
Africa. There bad been extensive
mine§ in Spain arid In the Atlas moun-
tains of north Africa, but their yield
in thé Wealth of kings and of cities in
Asia and Egypt had, been despoiled
and carried away to entich the con-
querors. a

‘There are rarious methods, diplomat-
fe or brusque. of notifying an unsatis-
factory employee of his dismissal.
+The most picturesque and ,original
of methods was that Which Uncle
Jimmy Gilbert used to use in his
printing office. When a new man came
Uncle Jimmy drove a nail in the wall
for him to hang his hat and coat on.
Some morning the man would come
to work and find the nail driven in up
to the head.” He knew that he was
through then.

The old idea that frogs are some
times rained down from the upper re-
gions rests, upon a silly superstition.

hopping around after a big rain come

Her Very Clear Thoughts.
“Well, aunty, what are your thochts
‘aboot marryin'?” asked a young wom-
an in Scotland: the other day of her
aunt, a decent body who had reached
the shady side of life without having
committed matrimony, :
“Deed, lassie,” frankly replied the
old lady, “I've had but three thochts
aboot it a’ my days, an’ the last is like
to be the laugest. First, ‘then, when I
was young, like yoursel’, I thocht,
‘Wha'lllf tak!7” ‘Then, as time begun

St. George and St. Peter,
Besides being the patron saint of
England St. George ts also patron of
Moscow, on whose arms there figures
the picture of the saint slaying the
dragon. A famous Russian military
decoration—the Order of St. George—
which was founéed by Catherine the
second—also commemorates the saint
in Russia. It may incidentally be
pointed out that while St. George was
adopted as the “military protector” of
England early in the thirteenth centu-
ry the patron of England had for five
centuries previously been St. Peter,
which helps to explain why more
churches have in England been dedi-
cated to that saint than to any other.—

Saturday September 18th, 1915
We are in need of three more school
buildings in order to accommodate all
of the colored school children.
Our farmers are being greatly benefited by the demonstration meetings that are being held in the several communities. All of our farmers should take advantage of these demonstrations.
Within two more weeks the public schools will be open. This is a time when we are caused to feel badly along with hundreds of parents who will be unable to secure seats for their children.
By an overwhelming vote the state of South Carolina has done away with local option and adopted state wide prohibition. This becomes effective January first 1916. After this date the boys will only be able to receive, legally, one gallon per month.
Once in a while reports are made of some trusted employees going wrong. No race is free of such a weakness, but as colored men, more is expected of us than of the white brother. Those of our young men who are holding positions of trust should be very careful in their actions. They should remain honest, straightforward, efficient and faithful.
It is reported that Georgia and Mississippi are the only two states without a compulsory school law. This is not a commendable position for either state. It is a notable fact that both of these states lead the column of lawlessness and lynchings in the United States. There is no doubt about it, the lack of educational training has a great deal to do with a person's respect for law.
The differences among the Baptist brethren in Chicago during the past week are indeed regretted. Such actions are only making true the assertion in some quarters, that we are not able to manage large affairs. There is no doubt that the cause leading up to the differences are great and grave, but as conscientious christian leaders, and men of ability, there should be one common ground upon which they could meet and settle the differences. It is the hope of all of us that better judgment may prevail, and before the expiration of the next few months, the great Baptist host in this country will again be united for active and effective work for the cause they represent and of the honor and glory of the Holy One whom they worship.
The county bond election takes place on Tuesday. Those of our voters who are registered for this election should avail themselves of this opportunity and cast their ballot in favor of bonds. It means progressiveness and improvements, and each of these will benefit us in a no uncertain way. The road to Tybee means that hundreds of colored men will be given employment in its construction will enhance the value of the property it borders and give the county increased taxes. Not one of us should be against the sum allotted for school purposes. From this sum the colored children should at least be given a new school building, and the renovating of two of the present old buildings. The sum for reformatory, prison building and the court house are all needed. As colored men we will show our deep interest in this matter by depositing our votes for bonds.
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Mr. and Mry. Thos. T. Freeman celebrated their twelfth wedding anniversary on last Tuesday evening at their residence, 664 Perry street, east. The house was artistically decorated for the occasion and the 75 guests present, several of whom were from out of town, spent an enjoyable evening. Many useful presents were received.

Sweet in Memory
In memory
W. R. FIELDS
my beloved husband and our devoted father who departed this life one year ago, September 16th, 1914.
One mournful year has vanished,
Think we while the tear drops start,
But the memory of my dear husband our papa,
Still is fresh within our hearts.
Oh, the misery of that dreary afternoon
When we stood around his bed,
Till death stole upon him softly
And we knew his soul had fled.
Oh, since then our lives are saddened,
Since that day our hopes are slain,
But his voice seems sweetly saying
"Courage, we shall meet again."
Oft we wander to the grave yard,
Flowers to strew with tender care
On the grave of my dear husband and our dear papa
Who is sweetly resting there.
Dearest grandpapa, how I loved you,
How I miss thy fond embrace;
Oh, how happy I will be dear grandpapa
When I meet you face to face.
Wife, Mrs. W. R. Fields.
Children, Mr. Robert B. Fields

In memory of our friend,
W. R. FIELDS,
Entered into rest Sept. 16th, 1914
"Forget not the dead who have loved, who have left us,
Who bend o'er us now from their bright home above;
And believe, never doubt, that the God who bereft us
Permits them to mingle with friends they still love."
Two of his Friends.
In loving remembrance of our beloved deacon, Mr. William R. Fields, who departed this life September 16, 1914.
"We miss thee from our number,
But we hid thee repose,
May sweet be thy slumber
From life's endless woes."

MR. HARRIS OF NEW YORK
SPENT WEEK IN CITY
Mr. Lucins Harris, an old Savannah boy, arrived in the city on Friday of last week from New York, where he has been living for the past twenty years. He was accompanied by his sister, Mrs Lula Harris Mussrone Immediately upon his arrival he was taken in hand by his old friends who proceeded to make his stay here pleasant. On Sunday in company with Mr. Ed H. Burke, he spent the day in Jacksonville, Fla., where they had a very pleasant time, being entertained by Mr. Lawrence Thomas, a former Savannahian. On Monday night, he was the guest of Messrs John A. Battise, John A. Gadden and George Wilkins at the Eureka club. On Tuesday he was accompanied on an auto ride around the city by Messrs John A. Battise and Ed. H. Burke, and he expressed surprise at the wonderful growth and beautiful scenery of the city. He visited many of the Negro businesses and was much impressed by the activity and business like manner in which they are conducted, especially so at the Wage Earners bank. On Wednesday evening from 6 to 9 o'clock, he was entertained at the Savannah Home Association's reading room by Messrs. Joseph J. Brown, W. H. Logan and Ed. H. Burke and later on in the evening he was a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Battise. Mr. Harris is looking well and his many friends here were pleased to have him with them. He left on Thursday for New York.

MARRIED IN ALBANY, GA.
An interesting wedding at Albany, Ga., was that of last Monday morning when Prof. N. P. G. Adams of Washington, D. C., and Miss Osceola Marie McCarthy. The wedding was a quiet affair, taking place in the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. McCarthy.
4 The bride is one of the best known and most popular young ladies of Albany. She is a college graduate of Howard University. The groom is also a graduate of that university and a teacher of chemistry there. Mr. and Mrs. Adams passed thru the city Monday en route to Washington, D. C., where they will reside. While here they were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. C. C. Middleton of Charlton street east.

Masonry for ils heroic service to free
Jom of thought and the liberty of birth.
No part of iS ministry as Veen more
noble, no principle of its teaching has
Been more precious tha its azelons
and unwavering demand for the right
and duty of every soul to seek that
light by which no man was every in-
Jured,“and that truth which makes men
free. Down thronzh the azes—often
when gle hizhest crime was not murder,

for the rzht of the soul to know the
trath, and to look up tithidden from
the lap of earth into the face of Him
in whose zreut hand ie stands. Not free-
dom from falth, but freedom of faith,
has been its whtehword, on the grounds
that «1 despotivm is the mother of an-

“Well, well,” said the jolly one, “It's

The, Inquisitive Antelope.
An antelope is as curious as a wo-
man. 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
fora safe shot. After completing a cir-
cle the antelopes halt suddenly and
bring down one fore foot with a yigor-
ous stamp on the ground, and at the
ame fustant they make a sort of snort
that sounds like a half whistle. That
is the propitious moment for peppering
them with rige balls.—Exchange.
