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. BREEZY DOINGS AMONG THE GAY "OVERHOMERS" What The Tribune Correspondent Observed in "Fine Old" Beau- Mr. Frank Moore, Jr., of New York City is in the city for a few days visiting his mother.

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.

Messes Joe and Daniel Meyers was in the city last week from Ruffin, S. C. They both will attend Claflin again this year. Beginning with the week of October 18th we are going to make it Tribune Week in Beaufort. We are going to make a house to house canvass. We are going to put The Tribune in every Negro home in Beaufort. Don't borrow The Tribune from your neighbor, subscribe for it. Do just what your neighbor is doing, get a paper of your own; if you are not a subscriber ask yourself the question, Why? Keep up with the times; see what the Negro is doing else where.

Quitte a good crowd weft over-with the G. A. R. on Sunday night to Sa- 1,500 NEGRO CHILDREN UNABLE TO GET SEATS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS MOST OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS SHOW INCREASED AT TENDANCE OVER LAST YEAR Should Use Vacant Rooms at Cuyler School Atlanta, Ga., Oct 7—A little 10-year-old Negro boy is dying at Grady Ho-pital with a 44-calliber bullet hole through his body because he ran yesterday afternoon when Mounted Policeman C. 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.

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 regiment, K. of P., this city, which protested the decision of the judges in the grant prize drill which was held here during the K. of P. convention last summer, was sustained by Gen'l. R. R. Jackson of Chicago, Ill., and has been awarded the first place in the drill. Feay's protest to the judges decision was made on the ground that the Angusta company to whom first-place was given drilled men who were not members of the company. First prize in the contest carries a prize of $100.00. Feay, company is headed by Capt. M. W. Bryan. --- 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.

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.

When beneath the sudden stroke, All her joys of life went down; When her best beloved broke, Earthly bounds to take her crown; By the upward path she trod, Nearer drew her to her God.

A number of other criminal prosecutions and selz- ures are pending in variqus Federat courts throughout the United States because of allegéd violations of the Sherly Amendment similar to those alreaily tried, The officials charged with the enforcement of the Food and Drngs Act are of the opinion that the evils of the patent-medicine business can be stopped ouly by the most drast- ie action, It is pointed out that trafhe in med- iclues for which fal-e and fraudulent Gaims are made is not only an eco- nomic fraud of the worst kind, in that a worthless preparation that costs but 2 few cents is frequently sold for a dollar or more a hottle, but that health and even life are endangered by fail- ure to secure the services of 2 physi- cian in such serions diseases as tuber- eulosis, diptheria, pneumonia and scar- let fever until tov kate, because re- Hance may lve been placed inthe curative powers of some never-failing remedy. ‘The deluded victim may not realize his danger until the diseave has reached 2 stige too far advanced for even the ablest physicians to cope with it, [fective treatment depends in wort cises on applying it durin the early Stages of the disease. .

Compare Rev. xi, 3-6, | and note that one of the two witnesses of those days will pfobably be this )same EWjab. * | ‘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 juni- per tree ani wanted to die. There will be a generation of bellevers 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, 51-93; I Thess. iv, 16-18). ‘The last walk to- gether of these two inen, EWah and Elisha, 3 thrillingly suggestive. As they went from place to place Liljab's “Larry here, I pray thee," and Elisha’s reply, “As the Lord liveth and as thy soul liveth I will not leave thee,” re- mind us of the devotion of Ruth and of Ittal (Ruth 1, 16-18; If Sam. xvt £1) and also of Paul when he sald: “None of these things move me; nel- ther 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; xxl, 13; Phil. iti, §). Nothing less than this should be our devotion tothe Lora Jesus Christ. The words in verses 2, 4, 6, $ and 11 are continually with me. So they went down, so they came, and they two went gn, 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 fs, first, redemption by iis blood and then to be fully agreed with Him about everything (Amos iil, 3). How wonderful that God Himself will dell in ps and walk in us, and how we do fail to appreciate or realize it! (II Cor. vi, 16) As they went on together on tho cast of Jordan, the waters of the yriver having parted for them, Elijah sald 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 Lerodias, It is not long since we heard the Lord say it to Solomon, Our Lord Jesus sald 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.” Elisha wanted something very defiulte- ly, and be asked for it, and he ful- filled the conditions, and he received it. ‘The conditions seemed easy, but they implied intense and unwearled stead- fastness. If we would’walk with the Lord and {look upon Him and unto Him as in- tently as Elisha looked upon Elijah that day we would see somo desires granted. We must ask expectantly, believingly, persistently, in His name and for His glory, Well, Elisha did not fail in looking. He saw Elijah taken and received what he sought, and others saw that he had received it, He rent his own clothes, suggest- ing the end of self, took up the mantle of Elljah 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 Languages. The verse found in Genesis il, “And the whole earth was of one language and of one people,” bas 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 lan- guage spoken by Adam, while others stite that Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldee are simply dialects of the original tongue. The Persians assert that there wero three primitive languages. ‘The Arable, being the most persuasive, wae used by the serpent in addressing Eve; the Persian, being the most poetic, was spoken by Adam and Eve, and the Turkish, being the most menacing, was employed by the angel when driving the guilty pair from the garden of Eden. Herodotus says that Psammetichus, king of Egypt, wishing’ to learn the language that would naturally be spo- ken by a person, caused two infants to be carefully guarded and kept from all verbal intercourse. When brought be- fore him the first word the children ut- tered was bekos, the Phrygian for bread, whereupon it wast once as- serted the Phrygian was the primeval or oldest tongue.—Philadelphia Press. For the Ultra Preciee. Professor Thomas R, Lounsbury said at Cambridge in a tall 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! sald the professor. ‘I mean what I say. I mean a shears.” “The dealer took down a box of shears. . “Look here, professor’ he sald. ‘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 tri- umphantly through his spectacles. “He was logically right, but, really, he was wrong.”—Philadelphia Bulletin.

He means what he Says. If he tells them to carry in- surance with a Negro insurance com- pany, they will wish to know with whom he carries his.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. ‘Text of the Lesson, I! 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 tri- umpbant entry into glory, without dy- ing, of the discouraged man who want-| ed to die. If we would keep our eyes on the glory which surely awalts us wwe would not be so easily cast down (Rom, viil, 18). We also saw the Spir- it 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 bebolding he ob- tained it. The Lord wrought through Elijah six miracles and through Elisha at least twelve. Like Elijah he divid- ed Jordan, restored a boy to life, mul- tiplied breail and off and did other KodUers which Elijah did not. Pre ‘Hous 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 wa- ters that filled ditches without wind or rain. ‘The multiplying of the widow's ofl 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 fs the resurrec- tion 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 lved 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 yalor who had wrought deliverance for Syria, “a leper,” an incurable sick man With the most loathsonie of all diseases. What did his greatness amount to under these circumstances? Leprosy is the most remarkable em- biem of sin in the Bible, and 4ll are by nature children: of wrath, dead in trespasses and sins. spiritually lepers (Eph. il, 1-3).° What profit was there in the abundance or the riches of the men of Luke xif and xvi when thelr 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 maid of the land of Israel, if she bad 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 Naa- man 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 tbe complain: ers who are so prone to murmur be- cause of their circumstances and also all who know of the redemption that 1s in Christ Jesus, but never tell oth- ers of it.

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.
