The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXI Things Shaping Up For Colored Fair TO BE HELD OCTOBER 19:25 AT FAIR GROUNDS Reduced Railroad Fare will Doubtless Attract Many Strangers The colored fair which is to be given in the city October 19 to 25 is attracting much attention here and will probably draw many strangers to the city during its run of six days. The railroads entering the city will put on reduced rates during the fair and a large crowd of out of town people will likely take advantage of this opportunity to witness the fair. The amusement features bid fair to be very attractive and will afford enjoyment for both the children and adults. Among the sporting events are carded races of various descriptions. For the lovers of speed there will be the motorcycle and horse races, the latter including both running and trotting events, and for the general amusement of the crowd there will be such comic events as mule, goat and ox races. Aside from these there will be some excellent foot races in which several of the local athletes and social clubs will take part. The exhibits of farm products, poultry and live stock will doubtless be very interesting as it is expected that many farmers both in this and adjourning counties will have exhibits in the agricultural and live stock show. An unusually interesting feature of the fair will be the baby show in which many of the bouncing tots of the city will be exhibited. Then, there will be the grand chorus, consisting of 150 voices, which will take part in the musical features on Sunday, October 24th. The chorus is being carefully trained and the music which they are to render will undoubtedly be one of the leading features of the week's demonstration. The fair will be held at the fair grounds on the Waters road. A five cents fare to the grounds from any part of the city will be charged by the street car company. The price of admission at night will be 10 cents and in the day 25 cents. An advertisement of the fare on the last page of this issue of The Trilune will be interesting to those who desire further information concerning the fair. AT THE Y. M. C. A. Last Sunday's meeting at the "Y" was a mixed one. It was indeed, gratifying to the officers and members of the "Y" to note the large number of representative ladies who were present on last Sunday. Their presence was an encouragement to the movement. The program, as carried out, was both highly entertaining and effective. Special mention is made of the practical, common sense and able address delivered to the audience by Dr. H. N. DuBose, pastor of the First Methodist Church, Atlanta, Ga. The vocal solos of Mr. Nelson Cuyler and Mrs. C. Junius Grant and the selection by the popular Y. M. C. A. quartette composed of Messrs Humbert, Clark, Davis and Taylor. The Y. M. C. A. night school is now in full bloom. Already more than twenty men have enrolled as students. There is every indication that this number will be largely augmented within the next few weeks. The Y. M. C. A. athletic association is now assuming much shape under the general direction of Mr. F. A. Dilworth who is being ably assisted by Matthew Jones. Football and basket ball branches have been organized. The branches under the direct supervision of Mr. Mathew Jones and Mr. Tactitus Gallillard, give every promise of furnishing much entertainment for the members and patrons during the winter months. On tomorrow at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, West Broad and Maple streets, the first anniversary celebration of the association will be held. At this meeting, the work of each department will be reviewed in short speeches. There will also be special music. Members of both sexes are invited to be present at this celebration. The meeting will begin promptly at 5 p. m. SANDERS-MATHEWS Mrs. Rosa Sanders and Mr. Henry Mathews were quietly married on Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Fannie Davis, 208 31st street west. Rev. Daniel Wright officiated. Mr. and Mrs. Mathews will reside at 835 Kline street.

We are glad to see him on the job again. Prof. J. S. Schanklin of Port Royal Industrial school was in attendance at the summer school last week. He delivered an address before the teachers, which will do much good if practiced by the teachers of the rural schools of the county. The Trained Nurse Exchange has been opened up next door to the Peoples' drug store where you can drop in at any time and help the good cause along. They are raising money to furnish the hospital which will open soon and is purely charitable. We should come to the rescue of these good women.

H. Braman ordered him to halt. The boy, in company with another Negro about his size, was going along a sidewalk with a bundle under his arm. Braman ordered them to stop, thinking they had stolen something. The boys became frightened and ran like rabbits. One of them got away, but Edward Shepard, the one who was shot, could not run so fast, and the officer pursued him and fired his revolver. At police station Braman claimed he did not intend to hit the boy, but fired at a brick wall to frighten him. The bundle was a loaf of bread that the boy was taking, to his brother for lunch at a nearly factory. WEATHER FORECAST For South Atlantic and East Gulf States: Generally fair weather is indicated throughout the week. It will be cooler Wednesday and Thursday, and somewhat warmer thereafter.

Over Fifteen Hundred Children Enrolled In Private Schools —County Schools Largely' Attended. Even with the appalling crowded condition of the city public schools for Negro children approximately 1,500 children were turned away last week because of lack of accommodation. The Four schools showed an enrollment of 3,024 pupils and in some of the lower grades the children were packed in to such an extent that some of the seats which should accommodate two pupils were used for three. The dire need of more school facilities for Negro children is manifested, not only by the crowded condition of the four schools but on all sides can be seen children of school age whose parents were unable to get them in school because of lack of accommodation. All available rooms at the three old schools have been utilized for school work but at the Cuyler street school there are several rooms which are not in use, which, if teachers were provided, would at least give accommodation to three hundred of the children who have not been able to secure seats in the public schools, who, because of the financial inability of their parents to support them in private institutions, are forced to roam the streets, getting into all manner of mischief. Most of the private schools of the city opened Monday, and yesterday at the conclusion of the first week showed an increased enrollment over the corresponding week last year. The largest private institution in the city, in point of attendance, is the Swangin school, conducted at the Duffy Street hall, which has an enrollment of over two hundred pupils. The next largest is St. Benedict's (Catholic) followed by the Presbyterian parochial school with an enrollment of 165. . In all there are over fifteen hundred pupils enrolled in the private schools, which, with the 3,024 pupils in the public schools, makes the attendance of Negro children in the schools of the city 4,524. The county schools all show-good attendance with the prospect of their enrollment being larger by the latter part of the month. The enrollment in both public and the larger private schools is as follows: Public Scholos West Broad Street school.....836 East Broad Street school.....760 Maple Street sschool.....688 Cuyler Street school.....740 Total.....3,024 Private Schools Swangin school.....208 St. Benedict's school (Catholic).....180 Presbyterian.....165 Berean (Baptist).....150 St. Mary's (Catholic).....145 Beach .....98 Dennis school.....75 St. Stephen's (Eplscopal).....50 St. Augustine (Eplscopal).....50 Woodruff .....45 Congregational Free Kindergarten.....29 Seventh-Day Adventist.....20 Glover .....14 Foster school.....20 Smaller schools (approximately).....71 Total.....1,500 Public schools.....3,024 Total attendance.....4,524 attention of those who are in arrears you to call at the office or ring us up of you have been billed for the a remittance.

UNION DEVELOPMENT COMPANY TAKES ON NEW LIFE Has Launched an Aggressive Campaign For the Sale of Stock-Mr. C. A. Lewis in Charge. --- The Union Development Company held its first meeting subsequent to the annual meeting of September 7. They have agreed to launch an aggressive campaign in order to dispose of the remaining stock of the company. The company has been extremely fortunate in engaging Mr. C. A. Lewis, one of Savannah's best known and most efficient business men, who will devote his entire time to the business of the company. Notwithstanding, the company will sell stock any anywhere. Savannah will be given first chance as the desire is to make the company a substantial home company. Stock, Goes up October 15 Up until October 15th, stock will be sold at $10 per share, after that time the stock will advance to $12 per share brought on by the increased value of the company's holdings. The Union Development Company is the first of its kind launched in Savannah and behind the company stand some of Savannah's best business men and its holdings consist of some of the best business property, which is bound to increase rapidly in value, which makes stock in the Union Development Company an exceptional sound and profitable investment. The best proof of the future growth and prosperity of the company is that after one year's business nearly the entire Board of directors have increased substantially their stock holdings. Mr. Lewis will begin at once a thorough canvas for the sale of stock, giving information desired. It is his desire to reach every individual in the city which would be a physical impossibility.. so he has arranged regular office hours when he can be seen daily from 9 a. m. to 10 a. m. and from 6 p. m. to 7 p. m. at the office of the company 458 West Broad street. Phone 4096. The officers of the company are G. H. Bowen, president; J. W. Jamerson, treasurer; C. A. Lewis, secretary. PROF. AND MRS. H. PEARSON CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY The silver wedding of Prof. and Mrs. Henry Pearson was most befittingly celebrated Saturday, October 2nd, at their residence at the State College. The parlor and dining room were beautifully decorated with ferns in receptacles wrapped in silver paper. Prof. and Mrs. Pearson, at the appointed hour, descended the stairs to the strains of The Bridal Chorus, sung by Miss, Harriet Parkhurst, accompanied by Mrs. David J. Hill. At the completion of the chorus, Rev. J. S. Stripping made a few, very appropriate remarks, concluding with a short prayer. Mrs. Pearson wore a gown of gray charmeuse. Mrs. Pearson's mother, Mrs. Goodlett, who sat at Mrs. Pearson's left while congratulations were received by the happy couple, wore a dress of gray silk. A delightful menu, suggestive of the occasion, consisting of chicken salad, olives, heart sandwiches, cheese straws tied with silver cord, silver cake wrapped in paper napkins engraved with silver letters, ice cream and fruit punch, was faultlessy served by Misses Lulabelle and Harriet Parkhurst, Harriet B. Wright, Caroline O. Dunbar and Mrs. Marguerite Freeman, under the direction of Mrs. W. G. Hill and Miss Maria L. Jackson. The punch bowl was presided over by Mrs. H. S. Dunbar. Among the group presents were a large platter from a number of Savanah friends and a loving cup from the faculty of the college. The many beautiful-presents, which attest the highest esteem in which Prof. and Mrs. Pearson are held, were artistically arranged by Miss C. E. Lewis and Mrs. R. M. Cooper. What promises to be an interesting meeting will be the one held by the Y. M. C. A. on tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock at St. Paul Church, when the association's one year existence will be celebrated. Short addresses, good singing and hearty fellowship will be stressed at this meeting. The meeting will be opened to both men and women and it is expected that a large audience will be out to encourage the promoters of this much needed organization which is becoming so potent a factor in the life of our people. NUMBER 3 The Georgia Baptist To Be Republished The Georgia Baptist To Be Republished BY NEW COMPANY WITH DR. C. T. WALKER AS EDITOR First Issue of Paper to Appear the Latter Part of Month Augusta, Ga.—The Georgia Baptist, published here for more than thirty years by the late Dr. W. J. White, but which suspended publication a few months ago, has been acquired by a new company and will again be published in this city. This will indeed be good news, particularly to the Baptists of the state and indeed to the nation, for this paper enjoyed national circulation. The Georgia Baptist was ably and fearlessly edited by Dr. W. J. White until his death two years ago, and was a watchman on the tower, a beacon light to the brethren everywhere. The company which will publish this paper consists of six of Augusta's leading and wealthiest colored citizens. It is headed by the well-known Baptist leader and preacher, Dr. C. T. Walker, who will be in charge. The fact that Dr. Walker will be in charge of the editorial department of this paper assures that the high standard set by the late Dr. White will be maintained, and that the paper will continue to be a great force for righteousness and spiritual and moral uplift. Associated with Dr. Walker as owners of the paper and plant are Dr. Geo. N. Stoney, prominent fraternal order man and physician; W. S. Hornsby, general manager of the Pilgrim, Health and Life Insurance Co.; T. J. Walker, secretary and treasurer of the same company; A. M. Sherrill, general menager of the Georgia Mutual Insurance Co., and Dr. R. C. Williams, a successful physician. All of these men are well known over the state, and each one of them, individually, is a large property owner, which assures that the paper will have ample capital. A job department will be operated in connection with the paper, and the latest and most modern equipment has been installed. The company is prepared to do the finest kind of job work. The first issue of the paper will be Thursday, the 28th of this month. HUNDREDS ATTEND NEW BANK OPENING The Savannah Savings and Real Estate Corporation threw open its doors to the public on Thursday, and hundreds of people inspected the offices of the company which are located at 46S West Broad street. The place was decorated with pot plants some of which were gifts by friends of the company. A goodly number of deposits were made and the bank starts out under bright prospects. Lead pencils and small hand mirrors were given away as souvenirs. BEACH INSTITUTE OPENED MONDAY OCTOBER 4TH Beach Institute opened Monday, October 4th. There have been some changes in the faculty.

First prize in the contest carries a prize of $100.00. Feay, company is headed by Capt. M. W. Bryan. The Frock and its Trimming Braid on Chiffon—Chiffon on Serge CREPE COLLARS AND CHOKERS New York, October 12.—Winter fashions have been fully settled upon and it is gratifying to say that for many a season, if ever, they have not been as attractive as they are this year. There is a charming variety. Fabrics are rich both in quality and coloring, trimmings are artistic, and designs are simplicity itself. Trimming Notes The simple serge and gabardine frocks, so much favored for all daytime occasions, are trimmed effectively with braid, designs in soutache, Hercules, and novelty braidings; but the touches that render them distinctive are the curious color notes that are being introduced for contrast on many of the smart new French models. Pink silk embroidery is often seen on frocks of dark blue serge, and a dull reseda wool embroidery is unusually smart on dark blue: this wool embroidery is one of the new notions of the winter; it appears on collars, cuffs girdles, and trimming bands of frocks, coats, and blouses. Heavy wool worked © MCCALL Braid Trimmed Check Costume out in a rib effect to imitate Hercules braid, is a detail of many of the imported serge and gabardine dresses. The various conventionalized soutache patterns on a foundation of net or chiffon, often edged with a band of a flat silk braid or an edge of fur, is much in yogue for trimming the more dressy frocks; the wide braids, in numberless attractive designs, are popular as well. The standing soutache designs are favored for yokes and chemises and for the half belts so much a feature of the smart panel Princess dress. The wide braids are often used for an entire panel or yoke on a skirt; also for cuffs and the standing band collars which appear on so many of these cloth dresses. Cape Collars and Chloers Another quaint and becoming detail of these dark cloth dresses is the collar. Many of the plain redingote serge gowns are made with single or double cape collars. Colored collars of all descriptions are being worn; turnover collars of color velvet add a smart touch to the choker of the simple dress, and the idea of the colored chemisettes of the summer is being carried our for winter in failles and brocades, striped and figured velvet. Chemisettes of pale pink faille, made with high, unlined, un boned collars, buttoning at the side and wrinkling about the throat like a mousquetaire glove, are worn with gowns of serge or velvet. The neckline of the dress is usually rounded in an old fashioned curve and finished with a straight band of the material. At one of the fall openings in Paris a chiffon afternoon frock was trimmed with wide, heavy Hercules braid; following this idiu comes a frock of serge trimmed with soutached chiffon. Interesting Buttons Among the button novelties, both for service and for trimming purposes, there is a large gold button, patterned after the plain, four-holed porcelain underwear button; another is an acorn button of brilliants. Colored Facings Skirts are being trimmed considerably this winter; and there is a marked use of velvet and cloth, combined, and of velvet and chiffon, and velvet and faille. Many of the skirts are banded with velvet, wide and narrow. Some of the prettiest and smartest notions along this line are the contrasting facings. Early last spring, Paquin introduced the idea in a. chic little afternoon dress of dark blue taffeta; it is now being applled to serge and cloth frocks. Many of the strictly tailored dresses of serge, gabardine, or broadcloth, show these bright colored facings; the facing generally comes down and finishes the lower edge of the skirt with a narrow piping of the color. Blue gowns are faced with rose, red, old gold, and black velvet; the effect is wonderfully attractive and harmonious. Leather as a Trimming One of the smart innovations of the season is the three-quarter coat of leather, trimmed with fur and velvet. MCCALL Redingote of Serge and Satin Paquin introduced this at her recent opening and also introduced leather as a trimming for suits and frocks. Fur—Becoming and Timely Perhaps the most pleasing thing about the winter trimmings is the touch of fur which appears on many of the indoor costumes and most of the out-of-door suits and frocks. The tight, little choker collars of one of the short haired pelts, beaver, nutria, or that smart Russhan krimmer, are decidedly chic and most becoming. These collars are being worn with suits and with the one-piece dresses; generally, they are accompanied with a muff, as round as a ball and strongly suggestive of grandmother's day. Wide cape collars of fur closed under the chin with a stiff little bow of taffeta or moire ribbon are smart, too, with these small muffs. BOLL WEEVIL FIGHT BEGINS OCTOBER 4th Experts Will Give lectures at Many Towns. Atlanta, Sept. 28-A determined campaign against the Mexican cotton boll weevil already planned in detail will be begun by the State Board of Entomology on Monday, Oct. 4 and carried into every infested county in Georgia. The entire western side of the state from Haralson county clear down to the Florida line will be covered by two automobile parties arranged by the board under the direction of State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham, and two meetings will be held each day until every county in the boll weevil district has been reached and its farmers, bankers and business men given to understand just how they must do to conserve the prosperity of their communities in spite of the boll weevil. An Enormous Loss Estimates of the United States bureau of entomology shows that the boll weevil is now costing the South in the loss to cotton alone $100,000,000 annually. It is also stated that the loss and damage to cotton seed oil mills and other by product enterprises is not far from the same amount, making a total of nearly $200,000,000 every year as a toll which the cotton growing states pay to this pest. The boll weevil was first discovered in Georgia a little more than a month ago and has since been found in some thirty Georgia counties. It has probably already reached others or certainly will do so before the next crop is made. Here are the counties affected: Infested Counties Brooks, Colquitt, Early, Worthy, Chattahoochee, Troupe, Carroll, Thomas, Baker, Clay, Lee, Stewart, Marlon, Coweta, Harrison, Culhoun, Mitchell, Grady, Terrell, Webster, Muscogee, Campbell, Decatur, Miller, Dougherty Randolph, Suniter, Harris and Douglas. There are three things of tremendous immediate importance which must be done if the farmers hope to defeat the plans of the boll weevil. They are: First. The immediate clearing of all the fields of the present cotton crop at the earliest possible moment and the destruction of the cotton stalks. If stalks are not cut and burned they should be cut and turned under at least four inches of soil. Second. The co-operation of every county in the infested district in the fight now going on and the co-operative work for the fight when the weevil reaches them. Urge Attendance Third. The attendance, as a real duty in every county upon the meetings which have been arranged throughout the infested district, and at which the best experts in the country will speak and assist in the campaign to put an effectual stop to the weevil. In each of the two automobiles which will leave Atlanta on the morning of October 4, there will be a representative of the State Board of Entomology who will tell what must be done to prevent boll weevil damage; a prominent business man who will discuss the "Relation of the Boll Weevil to Business"; a man from the United States Agricultural Extension Bureau to speak on "Diversification," and a representative of the Georgia Department of Agriculture who will discuss "Live Stock." At different points on these trips the respective parties will be joined by the commissioner of agriculture, and the president of the State Horticultural Society. Two stops will be made each day where practical, and literature on the holl weevil, diversification and live stock will be distributed. State Entomologist Worsham and his assistants point out that while there is much work to be done to ward off the damage that must otherwise come, there is no reason for grave alarm and if the farmers, bankers and merchants in the infested sections will thoroughly co-operate in plans for minimizing this damage, Georgia will continue to make money in spite of the presence of the pest. POVERTY. Poverty, my dear friend, is so great an evil and pregnant with so much temptation and so much misery that I cannot but earnestly enjoin you to avoid it. Live on what you have; live if you can on less. Do not borrow either for vanity or pleasure. The vanity will end in shame and the pleasure in regret.—Samuel Johnson. Easy Oysters. During a discussion on finance in the United States senate one of the speakers traced the history of the various mediums of exchange, their development and changes from the days of barter to the days of gold and silver. "I call to the attention of the senate," he said in the course of the speech, "that at one time the medium of exchange was oyster shells. Oyster shells were used for money." "Delightful!" broke in the late Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. "If that system only prevailed now we could order half a dozen oysters on the half shell and pay for them with the shells." Gold In Ancient Rome. William Jacob in his "History of the Precious Metals" estimates from the accounts given by the Roman writers that in the reign of Augustus, the first of the emperors, when Rome was at the height of its power, the amount of gold in the Roman empire was nearly $2,000,000,000. This vast treasure had been gathered chiefly by conquest from various nations of Europe, Asia and Africa. There had been extensive mines in Spain and in the Atlas mountains of north Africa, but their yield in the wealth of kings and of cities in Asia and Egypt had been despoiled and carried away to enrich the conquerors. The Fidgety Backelor "But why do you put your friend's things in the dining room?" . "Oh, he is so used to restaurants that he won't enjoy his dinner unless he can watch his hat and coat."—Louisville Courier-Journal. Editorial Pleasantries. Two editors quarreled, and one referred to the other's early career in his paper. "As for our contemporary," he wrote, "what can we expect from a man'who was five years ago hawking from door to door with a donkey, and an ill conditioned beast at that?" His rival did not deny it, but in his next issue appeared the following: "Our contemporary says that five years ago we were 'hawking from door to door with a donkey, and an ill conditioned beast at that.' He is quite right. We were so occupied. But we are surprised to find the donkey has such a good memory." A Disadvantage. "Truth," said the ready made philosopher, "is stranger than fiction." "Yes," replied the cynic, "but it suffers under the disadvantage of seldom being so well expressed."—Washington Star. Delights of Camel Riding. It was my first experience of camel riding and therefore interesting if not altogether charming. The saddles used on this journey were formed of large pads, one in front and one behind the hump. The driver climbs into place in front, with a huge peaked pad to keep him from falling off when the camel rises. Then the passenger mounts behind the hump, and the camel is with difficulty persuaded to rise. This he does hind quarters first, and the passenger finds himself thrust up in midair as if on a tower. The huge pad offers no possible support, and he can scarcely overcome his desire to prevent a fall by putting his feet on the driver's shoulders. That worthy, however, soon comes up to join him, and the expedition starts. The first sensation is of being astride a table, and as the miles go by the table increases alarmingly in width, and the tyro on the back seat begins to despair of ever getting his legs acquainted again.—Wide World Magazine. Discontent. Success is a disease, if the reasoning of those who give the identical definition for poverty is to be followed. An excellent, preventive is idleness or inertia; another is satisfaction. Find the man who is satisfied and you need look no further for human putty. Content breeds Indias and Chinas. Discontent sends Mayflowers across oceans—not the sullen discontent that does nothing, but the discontent that manifests itself in striving to better conditions, the discontent that means hard work and plenty of it. Some firms are so contented with the volume of business they have that they do nothing to increase it. But the discontented competitor is doing something, as the first firm generally finds out before going into bankruptcy. You go ahead or you go back in this world. You cannot stand still. Satisfaction too often means just that—doing nothing.—Philadelphia Ledger. June and Matrimony. The first people to adopt the month of June as sacred to Hymen, the god of marriage, were the ancient Romans, who considered June the most propitious season of the year for entering upon matrimonial relations. The Romans held that June weddings were likely to be happier than alliances contracted in any other month of the year, especially if the day chosen were that of the full moon or the conjunction of the sun and moon. They also held that of all months May was to be most avoided, as in that month newlyweds would come under the influence of spirits adverse to happy households. These ancient marriage superstitions were retained by the Christians in the middle ages, and even today June is considered by many to be pre-eminently the month of marriages. — Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Pretty Thin Milk. Old Captain Joshun Ketcham of Amityville, N. Y., was very much beloved by the summer residents who used to sail with him on the bay and catch bluefish. There was always a refreshing flavor of the sea in his talk. One day, when a party of city men were sailing with him, the conversation turned on the difficulty of getting good milk in Amityville, and they appealed to the captain to know why that was the case. "Well," said Captain Joshua, "it's been that way as long as I can remember. My wife made me buy a cow once. I bought her from Elbert Haff, up on the north turnpike, and gave him $40 for her. Elbert said she'd give twenty quarts of milk a day, and I guess she did, but you could see bottom in sir fathoms."—Youth's Companion. It Didn't Work. The crowded car was overflowing. "Get off the step," the conductor cried. "I've got to close the door." "Don't mind me," replied the man on the step. "Close. it if you like.

I haven't many friends, anyway, and I don't think many would sorrow over my early demise. Go ahead and close your door." Then the conductor closed it.—Cleveland Pinin Dealer. Her Reply. A gentleman, for what he called a lark, advertised for a wife and requested each candidate to inclose her carte de visite.

SINGFIELD, General Supt --- Published Every Saturday 1009 WEST BROAD STREET Phone 2171 Saturday October 9th, 1915. A few weeks ago The Tribune published an article from its Washington correspondent concerning the $68,000.000 held in the Treasury of the United States, accrued from the sale of captured cotton during the Civil war. Certain parties are attempting to induce Congress to divide this sum among the ex-slaves who labored in the production of cotton during the years from 1859 to 1868. Each ex-slave or heir is asked to remit a certain amount to assist in the furtherance of this effort. The Tribune is not fully conversant with this movement and while the article was published as a matter of news, we in no way give our endorsement to it. It is fully believed that all ex-slaves or their direct heirs should be remunerated for faithful service performed while in a state of servitude. It seems certain that the special session of the Georgia legislature will pass a stringent prohibition bill making the state dry after January 1, 1910. Under the head of "Race Prejudice", The Tulsa Star, Tulsa, Okla., publishes the following: "The folly of race prejudice was exemplified in this city one day last week, when a colored woman, proprietor of the largest colored hotels in Tulsa went to the First National Bank of this city and made a deposit of money." "She took $250 to this bank to deposit for safe keeping, expecting to have several thousand dollars transferred to this institution from her home bank in a few days. But when she offered the money she was told that colored people's money was not wanted, and she turned away in great disgust and indignation." Such actions as the above should cause the colored men of Tulsa to organize a bank of their own. Apparently the field there is ripe for such an organization. In the mean time we invite the attention of our people in that Oklahoma town to three banking institutions of this city where their deposits will be safe and give them liberal interest. Similar prejudice used by the white banks of Savannah would mean greater progress for the colored people in this county. This progress could even now be attained if the thousands of dollars owned by our people could only be diverted to the colored banks. It is folly for any one to say that the colored people of this county do not pay sufficient tax to entitle them to sufficient school accommodation. It is true that but very few of our men pay their poll tax, but this tax is not depended upon to pay the expenses of running the schools, and in all of the other taxes the colored man pays his proportionate part which entitles him to accommodation for all of his children. In this calculation the indirect taxes paid by our people were not considered. A heart of stone would have been melted to note how crestfallen were the fond parents and anxious children, when they were turned away from the four public schools because accommodations, were not sufficient. It is not overstating the case when we say that not less than fifteen hundred colored children were turned away from the several schools. This condition of affairs should arouse all of our people and some action should be taken whereby our children may be accommodated. --- In this issue we are publishing an announcement about the resuming of publication of The Georgia Baptist. This will be pleasurable news to the newspaper fraternity and to the many patrons of this old established journal. It will be conducted as a stock company and managed and edited by some of the most prominent men of the state. The Tribune welcomes this announcement as we are in need of every possible agency for good among our people. Robert Kitchen is in jail in Washington, Ga., convicted of murder. An appeal is made in his behalf to the Supreme court. This appeal is based on the fact that there were no colored men on the jury at the time of his conviction. If precedent is followed, the appeal will be favored, and may be the means of causing the recognition of colored men as jurors in the places where this privilege is denied them. Two small boys under ten years of age were on their way taking bread to their relatives in Atlanta on Wednesday. In order to assert his authority, a policeman chased them, and because they did not halt, he shot one of the boys in the back. What is the use commenting on this barbarous act? Week before last our state caused the hanging of a thirteen year old boy. This was indeed a brave act. This week, in Forsyth county, several colored men in the lawful pursuit, of their occupation were mobbed by some of the white men of that county. Does this prove civilization? It is time for our white friends to arrive and assert themselves, especially those who have the best interest of Georgia at heart. These cases of lawlessness will not attract business nor prospective citizens to the state. 一 The owning of but an humble home, means much to the owner. It makes him a better man, more independent and useful. In the Cuyler Street school there are at least six rooms that could be used in order that a few of the thousands of colored children could be accommodated. If the Board of Education is too poor to pay teachers for these six rooms, as colored citizens, we will get together and raise money that our children may not grow up in ignorance. The present condition of the school question should arouse all of us, and cause some action. Years ago it was a rare thing to have chronicled the misdoings and shortcomings of our white brother in this section. To-day things are different. Every day the local papers publish some crime or offence committed by one of them. Years ago a white face was not seen in custody on the public works of the county, today it is a common sight. A white law-breaker is no better than a black law-breaker, and all should be meted the same justice. The city bond election takes place next Tuesday. For this election many colored men are registered and each one of them should cast a vote. This bond election is for the purpose of raising funds to finish the drainage work. All classes of citizens should be interested in this effort and no vote should be cast against it. During this week the daily papers teemed with articles from the Black Ankle district, which composes a part of the seventh and eighth districts of this county. It is inhabited mostly by the neglected elements of whites and many colored residents are among them. These white inhabitants are depicted as being of a low order and ignorant. Some of them are even being charged with gross immorality. The district should be helped. In many sections of the country, where the photo-play, the "Birth of a Nation", appeared, vigorous protests have been made against its production. It has been prohibited in many cities. No one made a harder fight against its production in Ohio, than Editor Harry C. Smith of the Cleveland Gazette. He took the matter up directly with the Governor who assured him that no films that reflected upon any class of citizens would be allowed to be exhibited in the state. This very pointed letter to Editor Smith was sent by Gov. Willis: Editor, The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. Smith:I am in receipt of marked copies of newspaper calling attention to the objectionable film ("The Birth of a Nation") regarding which we have had considerable correspondence. I shall place this communication before the State Board of Film Censors. The law must be enforced and so far as I have power to prevent it no films which reflect upon any class of our citizens will be exhibited in this state. Very truly yours.

Robertson, jr.; Mrs. Theodocia Middleton of this city and Mrs. Hattle R. Kelsey of Millen, Ga. The funeral was large attended and The funeral was large attended and the floral designs were many. Mrs. Elizabeth A. Jackson Mrs. Elizabeth A. Jackson Mrs. Elizabeth A. Jackson, a native of this city, died on Sunday evening 6 o'clock at her residence on 31st street, near Habersham. She was the relict of Mr. James Jackson. Her death came as the culmination of a more or less protracted illness. Up to the time of her death she had been a teacher in this county thirty-five years, 20 of which she spent as a teacher in the East Broad Street school. ; She was devoted to her work and always manifested the keenest interest in children whom she taught.

NOTES A Prominent Visitor Dr. Thomas H. B. Walker of Jacksonville, Fla., evangelist of the Methodist Episcopal Church, founder and supreme grand chief of the St. Joseph Aid Society of the world, and author of several books, left Wednesday for his home after being the guest of the St. Joseph Aid of this city for several days and being honored and banquited by the local society. During last Sunday Dr. Walker spoke to the Sunday school of the St. 3 The Hon. John E. Milholland, of New York, in a lengthy article in the San Francisco Bulletin, reproduced in the New York Age, declared that Jethro, the Ethiopian Priest, and father-in-law of Moses, the leader and emancipator of the Jewish race, originated representative government—the system upon which the American Republic is based. All that Mr. Milholland said is true but he could say considerably more than what he has already said. Two years ago the editor of the Commonwealth, said in a lecture delivered before a mixed audience in the auditorium of the Baltimore City College, arranged by the department of education, in which ten of the principal races, constituting the civic population and in which the Negro was included were given an opportunity to show what each had contributed to the civilization of mankind by its genious and characteristics, that Jethro was not only the father of representative government, but the school master under whom Moses, the great law-giver, completed his priestly education, and that the foundation for those qualities for which he became, the distinguished benefactor of Israel and among the greatest sages of mankind was laid under the teachings of this black school master, in the black man's country. CERTIFICATES of DEPOSIT THE man who temporarily has idle funds should place his money where he will receive a satisfactory rate of interest and at the same time avoid the necessity of tying it up indefinitely. Mr. Milhilland could go a step further by announcing that 'Avram', or Abram, the father of the Jewish race, was also a black man. The term signifies, father of black folks. Following the announcement of this fact, then, the black man would not only be the originator of representative government, but would be the first to be entrusted with the oracles of God, and the center around which the Jewish faith revolves.—Baltimore Commonwealth. CARD OF THANKS Mr. M. G. Robertson and children wish to express their sincere appreciation of their kind and tender sympathy of their many friends during their time of bereavement. Our plan of Certificates of Deposit solves the problem, as the money is always available, and earns interest from the day it is deposited to the day of withdrawal. Charles H.

AND EMBALMER AT REASONABLE RATES O STREET SAVANNAH, GA. --- MEDIÇINES CONDEMNED Courts Condemn Goods or Fine Patent Medicine Manufacturers—Proceeded Against for Fraudulent Claims as to Curative More than half a hundrer legal actions have been terminated successfully under the Sherley Amendment to the Food and Drugs Act, which prohibits false and fraudulent claims as to the curative or therapeutic effects of drugs or medicines. Criminal prosecution against the manufacturers were brought in 25 cases, but in 31 instances the falsely and fraudulently labeled medicines were seized while in interstate commerce. Claims by the manufacturers for the curative 1 week off these preparations ranged from tuberculosis, smallpox, and diptheria to cough colds, and scalp diseases. A number of other criminal prosecutions and seizures are pending in various Federal courts throughout the United States because of alleged violations of the Sherly Amendment similar to those already tried. The officials charged with the enforcement of the Food and Drugs Act are of the opinion that the evils of the patent-medicine business can be stopped only by the most drastic action. It is pointed out that traffic in medicines for which false and fraudulent claims are made is not only an economic fraud of the worst kind, in that a worthless preparation that costs but a few cents is frequently sold for a dollar or more a bottle, but that health and even life are endangered by failure to secure the services of a physician in such serious diseases as tuberculosis, diphtheria, pneumonia and scarlet fever until too late, because reliance may have been placed in the curative powers of some never-failing remedy. The deluded victim may not realize his danger until the disease has reached a stage too far advanced for even the ablest physicians to cope with it. Effective treatment depends in most cases on applying it during the early stages of the disease. Suggestiva Name of "Family Physi- The Honchens Medicine Co., of Baltimore, Md., pleaded guilty to the charge that a preparation called "Family Physician" and shipped by them into interstate commerce was false and fraudulently labeled. Among the many diseases for which this medicine was recommended by the manufacturers in statements appearing on the labels and accompanying circulars were diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid fever, smallpox, bronchitis, neuralgia, croup, and all diseases of the throat and lungs. The following quotation from the label, carton or circular are interesting: "The public is hereby ascribed that this is the Genuine and Original Family Physician. * * * For fever you need not give anything else but this medicine, it will keep the rash out itself. * * * For cases of Small pox take plenty and often. — Use freely. Give no hot teas, just give the medicine and what pimples are under the skin will come out, the rest will be carried off by the medicine. * * * Also a wonderful and poitive remedy for diphtheria, keeps measels out nicely, regulates the bowels without trouble, and purifying the blood prevents your liability to disease." Analysis of the product, which was claimed by the manufacturer to be effective in the treatment of so many virulent and contagious diseases, as well as a variety of minor ills, showed that it was a slurp containing 19.2 percent non-volatile matter, 8.9 per cent alcohol, anise, and vegetable cathartic drug. The government, there, fore, charged that the medicine did not contain ingredients or medical agents effective for the relief and cure of the diseases which it claimed to cure. The court imposed a fine of $75. A plea of guilty was entered by H. A. Ingram & Co., of Verguenes, Vt., to the charge that statements and claims as to the curative powers of a product called "Dr. H. A. Ingram's Vegetable Expectorant Nervine Pain Extractor" were false and frudulent. An analysis of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry showed the same to contain alcohol, 86 per cent; opium alkaloids camphor, capsicum, and vegetable extractive matter. The government, therefore, alleged that the medicine did not contain ingredients or medicinal agents effective, as the labels or circulars asserted, to subdue raging fever, or to cure typhoid fever, lung fever, scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, cholera, dysentery, sunstroke, diphtheria, bleeding of the lungs, nervous exhaustion, or plies, or to prevent fits, of apoplexy and epilepsy, when coming on, or to heal without inflammation or suffering all wounds, sprains, or burns, or to break up a felon, or to cure congestion of the lungs, pleurisy, fits of apoplexy, chronic rheumatism, paralyzed limbs, and croup. It was also alleged by the government that the statements "For teething and restless children, it is not only safe and harmless, but positive bene- ficial; it agrees with the most tender child or feeble infant," were false and misleading in that they were of such a nature as to mislead the purchasers into the belief that the article contained no harmful or polsonbus ingredients, whereas, in fact, it did contain morphin and other opium alkaloids of a poisonous and deleterious nature, such as might prove harmful and deleterious to the health of tender children and feeble infants, and other persons, if consumed by them. The court fined the defendant $100. Seized 4,092 Bottles of Father John's Medicine." Four thousand and ninety-two bottles of "Father John's' Medicine" were seized in Philadelphia, Pa., it being alleged in the libel that the labels on the bottles and on the pasteboard packages containing the bottles bore statements regarding the curative effects of the medicine that were false and fraudulent. Claims were made by the manufacturer for the efficacy of the medicine in the treatment of consumption, coughs, colds, croup, asthma, bronchitis, sore throat, whooping cough, pneumonia, catarrh, rickets, and a number of other ailments. A judgement of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be delivered to Carleton & Hovey Co., Lowell, Mass., upon payment of all the cost in the proceedings, and the execution of a bond in the su mof $5,000 to insure that the goods would not be sold unless truthfully relabeled. Jury Says "Guilty" for Misbranding "Bad-Em-Saltz" A verdict of "guilty" was rendered against the American Laboratories, a corporation located in Philadelphia, Pa., for shipping into inter-state commerce a product called "Bad-Im-Saltz," which it was alleged was falsely and fraudulently labeled. An analysis of a sample of the product showed that it consisted of, common salt. Glauber salt, baking soda, and a small amount of tartaric acid. It was claimed by the manufacturers that this preparation reproduced the medicinal properties of the great European springs famous for centuries for the cure of diseases of the stomach, into-times, liver, kidneys, or bladder, and that it represented the medicinal agents obtained by the evaporating of the water from the famous European springs. The government alleged, among other things, that these claims were false and fraudulent. It was also alleged that the statements in the circular indicating that the preparation contained ingredients or medicinal agents effective for dissolving gall stones, for the prevention of gas-trips, for curing diabetes, for preventing or checking chronic inflammation of the kidneys, and for relieving catarrh of the bladder were false and fraudulent. A fine of $100 was imposed by the courts. Long List of Misbranded Medicines. The following list includes other preparations against which the government's charge that they were falsely or fraudulently labeled was sustained by the Federal courts. Statiemquats were made on the labels of, or on the circulars accompanying, the preparations intended to make the purchaser believe that the medicines were effective cures for a great variety of diseases for which they were recommended by the manufacturers or promoters. The main allegations of the government were upheld by the courts and judgement accordingly entered in connection with each of the following preparations: Radam's Microbe Killer, Hilton's Specific, Smith's Agricultural Liniment, Dr. Sullivan's Sure Solvent, Russel's White Drops, Stramoline, Wild Cherry Pepim, Moreau's Wine of Anise, Dr. Herman Koch's Brand Phosphate, Celery and Gin Compound, Swisco Hair and Scalp Remedy, Cod Liver Oil with Syrup of Tar, Dr. Mozley's Lemon Elixir, Sa Yo Mint Jujubles Gray's Glycerine Tonic Compound, Dr. Martel's Female Pils, Quickstep, Frye's Remedy, Seawright's Magnesian Lithia Water, Hills Aromatic Ext.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson II.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 10, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Kings ii, 1-12. Memory Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text, Ps. xvi, 11—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The first book of Kings ends with a brief record of Ahab's successor, his son Ahabiah, who walked in the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. There is also the record of the death of Jehoshaphat, as well as a brief record of his good reign. The second book of Kings opens with a record of the sickness and death of the son of Ahab, how he sent to inquire of Banal-zebub instead of the true God, and the Lord sent Elijah to meet the messengers and tell them that because the king had turned from God to idols he would surely die. Then follows the record of the two captains and their fifties who were sent to take Elijah, but were destroyed by fire from heaven. Compare Rev. xl, 3-6, and note that one of the two witnesses of those days will probably be this same Elijah. Turning to our lesson for the day, we have one of the most interesting and fascinating records in the Bible, the translation to heaven without dying of the man who lay down under the juniper tree and wanted to die. There will be a generation of believers who will not die, but be caught up, changed in a moment, to meet the Lord in the air, and, for aught we know, it may be the generation now living (I Cor. xv, 51-53; I Thess. iv, 16-18). The last walk together of these two inen, Ellijah and Elisha, is thrillingly suggestive. As they went from place to place Ellijah's "Tarry here, I pray thee," and Elisha's reply, "As the Lord liveth and as thy soul liveth I will not leave thee," remind us of the devotion of Ruth and of Ittai (Ruth 1, 16-18; II Sam. xv; 21) and also of Paul when he said: "None of these things move me; neither count I my life dear unto myself." "I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." "Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord" (Acts xx, 24; xxi, 13; Phil. iii, S). Nothing less than this should be our devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. The words in verses 2, 4, 6, 8 and 11 are continually with me. So they went down, so they came, and they two went on, and they two stood, they two went over, they still went on. Thus no doubt, that other translated man, Enoch, walked with God until he went home. The only requisite for such a walk is, first, redemption by His blood and then to be fully agreed with Him about everything (Amos ill, 3). How wonderful that God Himself will dwell in us and walk in us, and how we do fail to appreciate or realize it! (II Cor. vi, 16). As they went on together on the east of Jordan, the waters of the river having parted for them, Elliah said to his companion, "Ask what I shall do for thee before I be taken away from thee" (verse 9). Wicked men have oft said something like this, at least the first part of it, as the king to Esther and Herod to Herodias. It is not long since we heard the Lord say it to Solomon. Our Lord Jesus said it to the blind man, but what shall we say of John xiv, 13, 14, written for us and being said to us continually, "Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." Ellisha wanted something very definitely, and he asked for it, and he fulfilled the conditions, and he received it. The conditions seemed easy, but they implied intense and unwearied steadfastness. If we would walk with the Lord and look upon Him and unto Him as intently as Elisha looked upon Elijah that day we would see some desires granted. We must ask expectantly, believingly, persistently, in His name and for His glory. Well, Elisha did not fall in looking. He saw Elijah taken and received what he sought, and others saw that he had received it. He rent his own clothes, suggesting the end of self, took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, smote the waters, and they parted hither and thither, and Elisha went over. The sons of the prophets were watching, and they said, "The spirit of Elijah doth resf on Elisha" (verses 14, 15). If we are redeemed we are here in Christ's stead to manifest His life and do His works by His spirit dwelling in us. The request of the young man to be permitted to look for Elijah lest the spirit of the Lord might have taken him to some mountain or valley was finally granted by Elisha, though he knew how vain it would be. When Enoch was taken he also was sought for, but was not found, as we learn from Heb. x1, 5. What a search for the missing ones there will be when the church is taken, but not one shall be found. Yet as truly as Elijah was seen with Christ on the Mount of Transiguration about 900 years later, so when Christ, who is our life, shall appear we shall appear with Him in glory (Col. ill, 4) when He shall return to the earth to set up His kingdom, fulfilling the transiguration foreshadowing. The constant expectation of being caught up to meet the Lord in the air will tend to separate us from this present evil age. 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 Chaldea 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 course. 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."—Philadelphin Bulletin. What It Is Like to Fly. In "In Air Craft In the Great War," by Claude Grabame-White and Harry Harper, an answer to the question "What is it like to fly?" is brief: The question has lost novelty, yet it has never been answered—never, that is to say, in a manner wholly convincing. The reason is that the sensation is indescribable—"like nothing else on earth," has a passenger has said. If you can imagine yourself gliding over a smooth surface of ice on skates you cannot feel and which make no noise, that may convey some faint idea perhaps of the feelings you experience after leaving ground. You are supported on something, yet you are not supported. You look down, and there is nothing below you but an empty void. Yet the machine rides firmly and securely, as though you were in a motorcar on the smoothest road. What Is a Placer? A placer is an unconsolidated deposit accumulated by mechanical processes, carrying one or more minerals in commercial quantities. All placers are secondary deposits—that is, the material of which they are composed was originally derived by erosion of bedrock. Although it is undoubtedly true that under certain conditions nuggets of placer gold have been enlarged through chemical precipitation, yet this action is a negligible quantity in placers. Placers may be derived solely by rock weathering without water sorting, but more commonly are the result of water transportation, sorting and deposition. Many of the richest placers are those formed by the erosion of older placers and the reconcentration of their gold. George's Father. Augustine Washington, the father of George Washington, was engaged in 1732 in making pig iron at Accokeek furnace, in Stafford county, Va., about fifteen miles from Fredericksburg, when his famous son was born. This furnace had been built by the Principio company, composed of English capitalists, as early as 1726 on land owned by Augustine Washington, aggregating about 1,600 acres and containing iron ore, Mr. Washington becoming the owner of one-sixth of the furnace property in consideration of the transfer of his land to the company. A Chinese Gutenberg. There is pretty good evidence of a Chinese Gutenberg, one PI Ching, who in 1011 carved cubes of porcelain paste with Chinese characters, afterward baked them and "set" the porcelain type by help of parallel wires on a plate of iron in a cement bed. It is certain that the art of printing was known in the Celestial empire for centuries before it came to light in Europe. Feminine "Short and Ugly."

U. met as usual with Miss Carrie Cannick as leader for the evening, the meeting was full of inspiration. After the discussion of the lesson a program was rendered which was very interesting.

Bethel Baptist Church. "Master of ceremonies, pastor, officers and members, ladies and gentlemen: "If you will permit me to put the subject in my own words and discuss it in my own way, I would very much prefer to word it thus: 'The Negro Minister's Duty to the Negro People in the Community of Whom, by Whom, for Whom and with Whom He Lives.' "You will note the fact that I have stressed the Negro minister, and, no doubt, you have asked yourself the question, 'Why this special mention of mini-ters of the race?' "The Negro minister occupies a peculiar position to that of ministers of other races. In the first place, he is expected to give advice, not only in things spiritual, but in things temporal, as well. There is no doubt about it, he is the recognized leader of the people now, and will be for the next fifty or hundred years. There may be other teachings by precepts may be taken, but not so with the Negro ministry. He must not only teach by precepts, but by example as well. If the Negro preacher tells his followers that a Negro bank is a good, safe and sound institution in which to deposit one's earnings, he must be a depositor in that same institution before his hearers will believe. He means what he says. If he tells them to carry insurance with a Negro insurance company, they will wish to know with whom he carries his. If he tells them to trade with Negro merchants, they will surely want to know with whom does he trade. "Thus, I say that the Negro minister occupies a peculiar position. Now, in answer to all I have attempted to say with reference to the Negro minister's duty in the community and what he owes to same. I would wind up by saying, "Let the Negro minister everywhere learn to practice what he preaches?" No one, I am sure, ever laid down a great tragedy without an overwhelming sense of the value of life—life as it is, life at its most pitiless and cruel, with all its iniquities, suffering, perplexity—without feeling that he would far rather have lived and had all that than not have lived at all. G. Lowes Dickinson. Knicker—What succeeds that tired feeling? Bocker—That tired feeling—New York Sun. Dedicated to Rev. J. A. Rush, deceased, pastor of The Peoples' Church, Atlanta, Ga. A little band of angels Heard us singing on the hill, Singing praises to our Saviour And their souls with rapture filled. They nestled close together, Listening to our voices ring As we waved our little banners. In praises to our king. They watched our stalwart leader, As he came to and fro To the church around the corner Where he invited all to go. In an humble place of worship, The faithful little band United with their pastor In his manly christian stand. He taught us traits of kindness, And to elevate the low He asked that special attention, Be given to the poor. He went into the alleys, On the hills and in the slums To elevate the lowly, And to God he bade them come. In his work in general, He was busy day by day, Going to and fro for Jesus In his usual pleasant way. He advised with his members With reference to his plans He asked the co-operation Of every heart and hand. He worked hard and faithful To do what he thought was right And all he did for Jesus Was precious in his sight. God and angels were his witnesses In his manly stand. They knew that he had done enough In this worldly land. They sent an angel for him Without notice to a man, And took him home to rest In that happy Promise-land. He met Mason there in, heaven And they are rejoicing hand in hand Around the throne of our dear Saviour Waiting for his happy band. Yes, he is waiting for his loved ones, Praying that someone may land And he's watching and he's wating To grasp you by the hand. No more troubles for our leader, Rush has been more than a man; He has forgiven those that crucified him And has joined the angels' band. Peoples' Church bell will be ringing If God spares this faithful few. The name of Rush will be honored By this band that's firm and true. Yes, true to every interest That he left unfinished here, With God as our leader Why should we ever fear? Rush and Mason were great characters That united hand in hand, God will use them further In the happy Promise-land. Let us share with the widowed family Their loss but heaven's gain, We will place our arms around them As long as one remains. We miss him. O! we miss him, The voice that's hushed was dear He stole away and left us But his spirit hovers near. The vacant chair is empty, Waiting to be occupied. God will send a servant That is fighting on his side. —Miss Lucile Dennis THINGS WORTH KNOWING In the illustrated magazine of next Sunday's New York World will be interesting articles about salvaging sunken submarines, the different fears of mankind, fall fashions for women, the United States Steamship California, the jockey of the year, latist pranks of Bill, the office boy; the horse that travel faster than an express train; socks and how to walk; made in America gowns, &c.

Lesson III.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct.17,1915. Text of the Lesson, II Kings v, 1-14. Memory Verses, 7, 8—Golden Text, Ex. xv, 26—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In our last lesson we saw the triumphant entry into glory, without dying, of the discouraged man who wanted to die. If we would keep our eyes on the glory which surely awaits us we would not be so easily cast down (Rom. viii, 1S). We also saw the Spirit of God in Elijah so manifestly upon Elisha that others recognized it. So it should be with us. Elisha longed for a double portion of Elijah's spirit and by his unwavering beholding he obtained it. The Lord wrought through Elijah six miracles and through Elisha at least twelve. Like Elijah he divided Jordan, restored a boy to life, multiplied bread and oil and did other wonders which Elijah did not. Previous to the lesson of today, besides those just mentioned, there was the healing of the waters at Jericho and of the poisoned pottage and the waters that filled ditches without wind or rain. The multiplying of the widow's oil to pay her debt and save her sons (iv, 1-7) suggests what might be our privilege if we were empty vessels and believed God. The bringing to life of the Shunammite's son brings us face to face with Him who is the resurrection and the life, who alone doeth wonders and still liveth. The people in today's lesson are a proud, mighty man, captain of the host of the king of Syria, very self important, but a leper; a little maid of Israel, who loved to magnify the God of Israel; a man of God, who lived before God and sought nothing from man, and some servants who were wiser than their master. How sad and how suggestive the words concerning this mighty man in valor who had wrought deliverance for Syria, "a leper," an incurable slick man with the most loathsome of all diseases. What did his greatness amount to under these circumstances? Leprosy is the most remarkable emblem of sin in the Bible, and all are by nature children of wrath, dead in trespasses and sins, spiritually lepers (Eph. ii, 1-3). What profit was there in the abundance or the riches of the men of Luke xii and xvi when their souls were required of them? What does it profit a man to be great in this world or to have millions of money if he is not a saved man? If he dies out of Christ the fate of the rich man of Luke xvi must be his. This little captive mald of the land of Israel, if she had been an ordinary child, might have said: "I am glad that he is a leper. Why did he take me away from my home?" and other such rebellious words; but, though she must have had an aching heart, she was evidently a true child of God and, like Joseph if the house of Potiphar, sought to glorify God even in her very trying circumstances. She was like Pollyanna. She was sorry for Naaman and told his wife, on whom she waited, of the prophet of God in Israel who could do such wonderful things. How she puts to shame the complainers who are so prone to murmur because of their circumstances and also all who know of the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, but never tell others of it. Where is the spirit of him who said, "As much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel;" "By all means to save some" (Rom. 1, 14-16; I Cor. 1x, 22). Because of the little mald's testimony kings are moved and heilth brought to the leper, but we do not hear of any reward for the little mald. The Lord will not forget her in the resurrection (Luke xiv, 14; Matt. x. 42). The king of Syria sent Naaman to the king of Israel with a letter and much silver and gold and ten changes of raiment (verses 5, 6). The king of Israel was the wrong man to go to, but Elisha heard of it and said, "Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel" (verse 8). Can you see the great man, with all his retinue, at the door of the house of Elisha, expecting the prophet to come out to him and with some great display give him health? Do you see the man of God calmly abiding in his house and sending a messenger to say, "Go and wash in Jordan seven times?" (Verses 9-11). Then do you see a great, proud man going away in a rage? (Verse 12). What a fearful thing is pride and self importance, and how foolish are our thoughts! Yet Abraham suffered because he had his own thoughts, and Mary had three days' sorrow because she supposed (Gen. xx, 11; Luke ii, 44). By the reasonable advice of his servants Naaman became calm and obeyed the voice of God by the prophet and was thoroughly healed, made clean (verses 13, 14). Now see him and all his company again before Elisha acknowledging the God of Israel as the true God and urging the prophet to accept a reward or a blessing. But the man of God refused, reminding us of Abram and the king of Sodom (Gen. xiv, 22, 23). There is no salvation for the sinner except by the blood of Jesus Christ, who went down into the waters of Jordan, or judgment, for us. We-cannot recompense Him for salvation, but we can serve Him because He saves us. The gift of God cannot be purchased (Acts vill, 20).

PHONE 2932 In these strenuous days of bread winning, when the American Negro is being put to the test as never before, it is up to the thinking ones among us to get together in a business way and dig deep and lay the business foundation for the race in this country which will stand long after the fathers have passed from time into an endless eternity. Admonitions of this kind have been repeated so loud and long until we fear at times they fall upoff deaf ears, believe me, just as sure as day follows night, the time will come when the young Negro men of this community as well as of every other where any appreciable number of our people live who have an opportunity to "make hay while the sun shines", will wish for them, but it will be too late. How often do we hear men say "I could have bought such and such a lot at one time for such and such a price, but to-day it is worth from three to ten times that amount. This is also true of scores, yea hundreds of other business opportunities which many of our young men are allowing to slip thru their hands, only to say, in after years, what might have happened and "I could have done." The Mission of the League It is the mission of the league to put forth its best endeavors to waken an interest in the young men of the race in this immediate community and cause them, if possible, to discover themselves, so that when their fathers and others of their relatives and friends who have shown an interest in their education by making sacrifices here and there, that they might be kept in school and finish their prescribed course and return home, that instead of sitting around some barber shop or some other leafers' headquarters playing checkers or some other worthless games, they would come into the business of those who have sacrificed for their education and prove by their ability to put into these well established enterprises and business innovations, which would in many cases take these concerns out of the old and well heatened paths and place them upon the great and glorious highway to a financial success. The Good Timer Passed Up No business man, firm or corporation cares to trust him or their business in the hands of the fellow about town who is known as a good timer. No successful, practical business man objects to those working under him having a day's outing for pleasure or even a week or two of vacation from working during the summer, but when it comes to mixing up good times with one's business, it is a fore gone conclusion that the practical business man will not stand for it. In other words, one of the mottos found in the curriculum or in the code of business ethics so tenaciously held to by the practical business man is, "When you play, play hard, but when you work don't play at all". Making Business Better Making business better is what the Negro Business League calls its long suit. This is where the league thinks it shines. Right here is where its work is felt most. In short, this is exactly what it stands for. The league makes bold to say that there is not a business in this city conducted by members of the race, but what has felt its beneficent influence. Why should not an organization of men who meet twice a month and discuss in a practical way the best methods of handling their special lines and who give and receive bits of experience concerning business problems worth while, not make business better for all parties concerned? These men in their bi-monthly meetings steer clear of all attempts at oratory, or in other words, "wind jamming" but simply get down to business in a practical way so that all who attend may feel that they have been helped and benefited. Big Things in Store Savannah, the great metropolis of the Southeastern section of our country, known as the south, is admirably situated and her citizenship is cosmopolitan in its make up which naturally makes Savannah. (to say nothing of her port being the natural gate way to the great Panama Canal, which is being used for the purpose of shipping the raw, as well as the manufactured, products of the interior) the place ideal for Negroes who are willing to work, to come to and cast their lots. The men of means in this community are being aroused over what Savannah is and what it is destined to be as never before. These men are putting forth the best endeavors in them to encourage the young men of the race to lay aside good times for a while and make good of the opportunities which Savannah and surrounding territory offer to the young man who is willing to pay the price.

WILLIAMS KNOCKS OUT RUSSELL --- In a-boxing contest scheduled to go fifteen rounds at the Airdome Theater on Monday night last, Lou Williams of this city knocked out Battling Jack Russell of Montgomery, Ala., in the second round. Williams had quite the advantage over Russell in weight, being fourteen pounds heavier. Williams weighing 152 while Russell pulled the scales for 138. Although the fight was of short duration, it was fast and exciting and kept the spectators on their feet. Of the two fighters, Russell, though knocked out seemed to be the most scientific, and showed wonderful speed in the ring. He has had much experience the game and has a reputation of a good fighter. The length of the fight was quite a disappointment to the fans present, as it was expected that it would go the limit, but a lucky blow to the neck delivered by Williams in the first round floored Russell and he became dazed and weak. He went down several times in this round and took advantage of the count by the referee but before the final number was called he was on his feet fighting hard to overcome the stinging blow that floored him. In the second round he apparently came up strong, but several hard swings by Williams to the head soon put him down again and it was seen that he could not rally from the effect of the first blow. When the third round was called for he was unable to respond, hence Williams was declared the winner. Williams is a good fighter and showed much speed in the ring and Russell showed himself to be possessed of much gameness. a Aslide from the main bout there was a battle royal between five boys and one preliminary.

WEATHER-CROP IN GEORGIA Copious and general rain fell in Georgia on September 29th and 30th and on October 4th, which terminated the drought and placed the soil in excellent condition for fall plowing, which is very backward. In a few counties some damage to cotton by heavy rains was reported. Sweet potatoes, which have suffered considerably from the drought, were greatly benefited/ as also were late gardens and truck crops. Probably nearly three-fourths of the cotton has been picked and most of the corn crops gathered. Very few farmers have yet sown any of the winter cereals. This is the last bulletin for the season.

Fall Term Opens OCTOBER 4, LYMAN M. ROWLAND, A. B., Principal 512 HARRIS ST. EAST 10-14 Savannah, Georgia WIFE OF SHERIFF SAVES LIFE OF NEGRO PRISONER Parleys with Bowling Green Mob Until Posse Arrives. Bowling Green, Mo., Oct. 5—For the second time Mrs. W. B. Hawkins, wife of the sheriff of Pike county saved the life of Harrison Rose, a Negro prisoner charged with murder, by parleying with a mob that had invaded the Pike county jail at 1 o'clock this morning while the sheriff formed a posse of citizens. The posse of fifty armed men, among whom were Champ Clark and his son Bennett, arrived at the jail a few minutes after the mob had fled. A month ago the sheriff's wife similarly held off a mob until the mayor and prosecuting attorney arrived. Rose, the Negro, is charged with stabbing a farmer to death with a pitchfork. Last midnight the mob called on Sheriff Hawkins to surrender Rose and when he refused they battered down the outer doors. While two held the sheriff others held revolvers to his forehead and commanded him to tell where he had hidden the keys to Rose's cell. While they were pounding on the inner jail door with sledge hammers the sheriff escaped and gave the alarm. The mob fled in automobiles when lookouts gave alarm of the posse's approach. LOUISIANA NEGROES DROPPED FROM PARTY Republican Committee Virtually Eliminates Them New Orleans, Oct. 5—The Republican party of Louisiana in convention here to-day virtually eliminated the Negro from the ranks, when the delegates met in the convention hall of a hotel inaccessible to Negroes, organized a state central committee and elected all white committeemen to serve terms of four years each. The names of two widely known Negro lawyers, both formerly members of the central committee, were placed in nomination from two local districts but they were defeated overwhelmingly- It was announced the party would have no ticket in the field when the general election was held in April but that Johi M. Parker of New Orleans, Progressive candidate for governor, would be supported. Formal indorsement of Mr. Parker was withheld the majority of the delegates, it was said, believing that such coming from the Republican party would be injurious to the candidate. 512 HARRIS ST.
