The Savannah Tribune. For South Atlantic and East Gulf States: Cloudy weather, with occasional showers, is probable Wednesday VOLUME XXXI TO OPEN WITH PARADE TUESDAY AFTERNOON Interesting Sporting Events to Be Staged During Week At Fair Grounds The colored county fair which will be held in this city next week be- ginning Tuesday, is expected to attract a large crowd of visitors from adjourn- ing counties. The fair is to be held at the fair grounds on the Waters road and every thing is in readiness for the six days of pleasure which the promoters promise those who visit the grounds. The first of the fair demonstrations will be a street parade Tuesday afternoon in which many of the Negro business houses and clubs will enter floats. The parade will be headed by one of the local bands and promises to be very interesting. While the management is somewhat disappointed at not having all of the midway shows booked show up, yet those that will be here will afford the adults and children who attend the fair ample opportunity for fun and laughter. Among the more interesting entertaining features will be one of the best known plantation shows in this section of the country, and also a first class minstrel show. On Wednesday afternoon, speed contests by some of the fastest local ponies owned by Negros will be held. These will consist of both running and trotting events. Several little boys have entered their ponies and these little chaps will doubtless cause many a thrill to run through the large crowds who will watch them tear up the turf. On Wednesday night, the colored motorcycle club will hold the crowd's attention by several fast races they have on for the evening's amusement. The races will be five miles, ten miles and possibly a fifteen mile run. The tract will be brilliantly lighted and exciting times are in store for those who witness these speed demonstrations. The baby show will be the principal feature of Thursday afternoon. Many cute little tots are entered in the various classes and many a fond parent will be present to see his little one pull down one of the many prizes to be given away. On the same afternoon the old folks dinner will be given and many an old soul's heart will probably be made glad by the good edibles which are being prepared for the occasion. Friday will be farmers' day. Many prominent farmers are expected to be present and to exhibit their prize products. Mule, ox and goat races will be held for the amusement of the crowd and these bid fair to be very interesting. On Saturday afternoon a foot ball game between the Georgia State College and the city Y. M. C. A. will take place. This will be the first game of the season and a large crowd is expected to witness it. Saturday is also children's day. Special attractions are being prepared for their amusement. On Sunday afternoon a musical festival will be held. Special choruses are being trained for the occasion. Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta will be present and will deliver the principal address. The festival will begin at 3 o'clock. Monday is closing day. All prizes will be awarded this day and the auctioneering of the articles left on hand will also take place. The fancy work and canning demonstrations will probably be the best ever seen here and will especially be of interest to the ladies and girls who attend the fair. The price of admission to the fair grounds will be 25 cents during the day and 10 cents at night. MAYOR DAVANT BURIED ON TUESDAY Mayor Richard J. Davant, of this city, was buried here Tuesday afternoon. Mayor Davant had been ill for some time but his death in Millen last Saturday afternoon came as a great surprise to his many friends. Mayor Davant was serving his second term as head of the local municipal government. His funeral Tuesday was witnessed by many thousands who crowded the streets down which it went. Capt. J. I. Washington, of Beaufort, S. C., was a visitor at The Tribune office yesterday. Capt. Washington is one of Beaufort's leading citizens. By J. S. Blocker Beaufort, S. C.-The marriage of Miss Lauretta Lurene Grayson to Mr. William Ford Fräier took place last Wedne-day evening October 6th at 8:30 The church was decorated with beautiful ferns that formed the arch under which the ceremony was performed, a lovely setting for the bride and her attendants in their light dresses. Mrs. M. B. Flemming and Prof. Samuel Bryant played the wedding march. Green and McCall, ushers, entered then the maid of honor. Miss Dennie Williams with Mr. Lawrence Sanders. She wore a gown of white satin and the short holiece effect was formed by a band of satin loosely veiled with tulle. She carried an armfull of white roses. Then came the beautiful little flower girl, little Eda Moultrie. She wore a dress of white embroidery and carried a lovely bunch of white roses. Then came Miss Mabel Bee with her girlish look. She wore a gown of white allower embroidery, trimmed with white satin ribbon and carried a basket of flowers. Next the bride's maid, Miss Geneva Fisher, in a gown of white Japanese silk with accordion pleats, trimmed with white silk ribbon, forming a bow with a large loose rosette at the high waist line in the back lace heading worked with white silk ribbon circled the waist and a wide tulle bow that held the dress on the shoulders. She carried a lovely bunch of roses. Thence came the beautiful little ring bearer, little Marguerite Grayson, wearing a dainty little dress of white net, finished at the lower edge and neck with tiny rosettes of narrow white satin ribbon. She carried the wedding ring. Next came the bride resting on the arm of her uncle Mr. Kenneth Bythewood. Mr. Frasler and his best man, Mr. William Brunen, entered from the vestry of the church and met the bride at the altar. The Rev. D. W. Bythewood, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, performed the ceremony. During the ceremony the "Angel's Serenade" was rendered. A reception followed immediately after the ceremony at the bride's residence, 708 Hancock street. The bride never looked lovelier than on Wednesday evening in her wedding dress of soft white satin, veiled with silk tulle. The skirt was finished with a wide flounce of silk lace, headed with a tiny double ruffle of tulle, caught in the over dress. At one side was a cluster of orange blossoms, her vell of tulle in cap effect was becoming worn. She carried a bouquet of bridal roses, urging the reception the many presents were displayed including furniture, cut glass and other articles. Mr. John Green, after spending two weeks in the city, has returned to New York. Mr. Green is one of Beaufort's progressive young men. Many of the overhomers are planning to take in the Colored Fair at Savannah, October 19th to 25th. Cat. Wm. Alston, Mrs. Louise Bryant, Mrs. Jas Hamilton, Mrs. Fanny Meyers of Spring Island, were in the city this week. Mrs. Geo. L. Binyard of Savannah, was in town attending the Grayson-Frazier wedding.

HARRIS ADDRESSED SOUTHERN TUBERCULISIS CONFERENCE Dr. W. A. Harris, of this city, was one of the speakers last week at the Southern Tuberculosis Conference which met in Columbia, S. C. Dr. Harris has done much to enlighten the Negroes of this city on how to care for and guard against tuberculosis. He has been delivering from time to time interesting lectures on the disease in many sections of this city. BROTHERS COMMUNICATE It was in the fall of the year 1888 that two Savannah ladies opined that they wanted to take in the wild and wooly west and departed therefor. They got as far as Chicago and there, after seeing the sights, decided that they would settle down for a while at least. One of the brothers went into the Pullman service, the other following a different line of work. They kept in touch with each other for a couple of years, after which a long and continued period of silence between the two reigned. These two young men were John and Geo. H. Gaskin. George finally returned home but John traveled on and finally settled in New Mexico. For years George endeavored to locate his brother but to no avail. One day this week, however, a strange letter reached Mr. George Gaskin, who lives at 637 west 31st street, from far away New Mexico and upon opening it he found it to be from his brother whom he had sought for over 27 years. The New Mexico brother is now a true westerner and is one of the business men of Silver City, conducting a partnership clothes cleaning establishment. BEACH INSTITUTE NOTES Romil-ita Merchison is a member of the graduating class at Beach Institute. By mistake her name was omitted in the list last week. The class of 1916 is planning an entertainment. The members hope to give a play before Christmas. Last Friday morning Rev. William L. Cash was present and conducted the devotional exercisees. Ellen Stoney and Georgiana Shellman have been absent for a few days on account of illness. PETITION DENIED. A petition was presented the Board of Education at its meeting on Monday night, asking for more school facilities for more than one thousand children who applied for seats, but were turned away. This petition was denied, giving as a reason the lack of funds. In the Cuyler street school there are four rooms that are not in use, three of these rooms are furnished with desks etc. The petitioners simply wanted the board to use these rooms. The wedding reception of Mrs. Valine Gilbert and Mr. L. B. Hayes will take place on Wednesday night of next week. Invitations have been extended to several friends of the couple to be present. All persons desiring delegates during the session of the state grand lodge No. 7, Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samarita, which convenes here November 2, 3, and 4 will please see or phone Dr. H. M. Coliller, chairman of homes, office 644 President street, east, phone 215JJ IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS $ ^{c} $ We have repeatedly called the attention of those who are in arrears in their subscription, and have asked you to call at the office or ring us up for a settlement of the same.

NOTICE Colored Teachers New Method Will Make Schools More Efficient At a meeting of the board of education Tuesday night the method of paying school teachers in Chatham county was radically changed. Heretofore, the teachers were paid according to the grade, but by a resolution passed by the board Monday night the salaries of the teachers will be based upon the length of service. This change in the method of pay will go into immediate effect for the white city school teachers but, according to the information received by The Tribune from Superintendent Ashmore, the colored teachers will not feel the effect of the change of method until later on in the year. The new method will undoubtedly make the public school system more efficient as it will permit a teacher who is especially fitted for a certain kind of work to be retained in it without a loss in salary, the pay, of course being made according to the length of time served and not the grade. URDAN LEAGUE ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the Urban League will be held on Monday night, October 25th, at the headquarter. West Broad street and Gwinnett lane.

Primus and Miss Lucile Lowe were united in marriage on the first Sunday evening of this month. The new railroad that is under way of construction between Charleston and Savannah is a godsend to the people of the southern part of Beaufort county. Their crops had failed and the future seemed dark but God has provided a way out of no way. The people, in our section are giving more attention to the gathering of hay this year than ever before. This is what they should have been doing long ago. Our people have been letting enough hay waste in their fields to feed their stock the year round. Hard time is eye opener some times. The district grand convention of the second Masonic district met Thursday of this week at Pineland, S. C. Mr. George Keller was stricken suddenly with a stroke of paralysis and never recovered. His remains were carried, to Ferrebeeville for burial. He was buried with Masonic honors, being a member of Happy Home Lodge of this place. Prof. C. R.

HAPPENINGS AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL School Fight Still on-Freedmen's Hospital Doing Great Work By R. W. Thompson Washington, D. C., October 14th. Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of the public schools has gone to Ocean City, N. J., to remain for a definite period, with the hopes of recovering from the effect of the recent accident, which has brought on many dangerous physical and mental complications. The evacuation is taken at the advice of his physician, who declined to permit Mr. Bruce to attempt to discharge any part of the arduous duties incumbent upon an assistant superintendent, although the injured official made an effort to do so a few days ago and appeared at the office in the Franklin Building for an hour or so. Supt. E. L. Thurston is handling the large problem, and Mr. John B. Taylor, clerk in Mr. Bruce's office, is looking after the routine at the desk. Mr. Amphias H. Glenn is taking care of affairs that call for visits to the various buildings. This program will be carried on until further developments enue. Notwithstanding the "inspired" news matter sent to certain papers to make it appear that the struggle is all over, the same old fight for a square deal and improved conditions all around is still going merrily on. There is little noise, but there is quite a determination that things must be changed, and that chaos and uncertainty in the schools must give way to peace and order on permanent and honorable lines. That there is intense dissatisfaction throughout the school system is evidenced every time there is an opportunity to display it. The people who have no kinfolks on the roster, and can thus afford to be honest, are out-spoken in their opposition to the present regime. The teachers, whose bread and butter is at stake, and their relatives who fear injudicious speech might cause their dear ones trouble, are silent, but in their hearts, are hoping for a change. A bubble swelling as this one is, cannot be kept from bursting eventually. Those on the inside say there is nothing to be hoped for from the present administration in the way of school reform. The fight is to be transferred, they assert, from the Board of Education to Congress. The sentiment there, it is said, is ripe for a revised school system for the District. This revolution may content itself with a new board, to be named by the District Commissioner of Education and abolish the incumbents around whose heads the storm has been centering for lo these many days. The educational reformers are making no fuss, but it is said they will be on hand on Capitol Hill very shortly after Congress gets into working order in December. If it is possible to muzzle a portion of the press, such repressive measures will not succeed when the great masses of the race get into saddle. This is the talk of the town and everybody is on tiptoe to see what is going to happen. That Demand for, $68,000,000 for Slave Labor. The plain people are slow about taking stock in that demand for $68,000,000 for slave labor in the production of cotton. Just now no one is endorsing or condemning it. They are asking questions. It is up to Lawyer Jones and his fellow-attorneys to throw the much-wanted light on the subject. Mu-So-Lit Club Opens Fall Season Mu-So-Lit Club Opens Fall Season The Mu-So-Lit club held its initial meeting of the fall and winter seasons last Friday evening at the 12th Street Y. M. C. A., Grant Lucas presided. The guest of honor of the occasion was Prof. W. E. Burthart DuBolse, of New York City, editor of The Crisis, who delivered a scholarly address on "The European War and its Effect upon the Darker Races of the World." He felt that the problem to be solved in the great conflict across the sea is how the darker races in Asia, Africa, portions of South America and productive islands here and there can abate the disposition of the Caucasian merchant and manufacturing stations to use their superior power to ex- and Thursday and generally fair weather thereafter. Temperature will be near or slightly above the seasonal average. NUMBER 4 Wage Earners Bank Excellent Showing INCREASE OF $35,000.00 DURING THE YEAR More than a Hundred New Accounts Added Each Month During Last Year. The Wage Earners Savings Bank has just ended its year's business which shows an increase of more than $35,000 over the business done last year. This is a remarkable showing, especially when it is noted that the past year was one of the worst financial years ever had. The most remarkable part of the increase was that of new accounts which averaged more than a hundred each month. This much was especially noticeable during the past month which was greater than at any other period. The directors at their meeting last night declared the annual dividend of 12 percent, which will give to the stock holders thousands of dollars on their investments. The Wage Earners stock is the most valuable stock to be had in the state and is in constant demand by investors despite the premium that is asked. The bank is now doing business on more than three hundred thousand dollars, which should cause every loyal colored person to swell with pride. AT THE X. M. C. A. Last Sunday was anniversary day at Y. M. C. A. At that time the association celebrated its first anniversary. It was indeed gratifying to the audience present to note from the reports of the various departments the progress of the association during the first year of its existence. Among the chairmen who gave excellent reports of their various departments were: Rev. J. A. Martin of the religious department; Prof. H. Pearson of the literary department, Mr. F. D. Tucker of the social department and Prof. F. A. Dilworth of the athletic department. Secretary T. H. Hamilton Jr., and Dr. C. E. Brent, treasurer, gave interesting reports on the general and financial condition of the association. Those present seemed well pleased with the work of the association during the first year of its existence. It is indeed gratifying to note the apparent success of the Y. M. C. A. night school. At the present time the enrollment has reached twenty, with every indication of a continuous increase. Those desiring to improve themselves along literary lines are invited to enroll in the night school which convenes Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights of each week at the Y. M. C. A. headquarters at 8:30 p. m. The Y. M. C. A. foot ball eleven is fast whipping itself into shape for its first game with the Ga. State College at the Colored County Fair Grounds on Saturday October 28 at 3:30 p. m. under the general management of Director F. A. Dillworth, assisted by Mr. Matthew Jones and Mr. Samuel King, it is expected that the "T" team will give a good account of itself on the stated occasion. On tomorrow at 5 p. m. at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, an interesting programme is planned, it is as follows: Devotional singing, prayer, singing, general discussion, "A young man's opportunity, led by Rev. J. A. Martin; announcements, adjournment. MEETING FOR BETTER SCHOOL ACCOMMODATION A meeting of all the ministers, business men, officers of the various lodges, societies and citizens who are interested in an increased accommodation for colored children in the public school system, will be held Thursday morning October 21. 1915, at 11:30 o'clock, at St. Philip Church, Charles street. This will be an important meeting and all who are interested in the best welfare of our children are asked to be present. Let all the people come out. MARRIED Mrs. Mamie Coles and Mr. William Dee were quietly married at 10:30 o'clock last night. The ceremony was performed by Rev. N. M. Clarke, pastor of Beth Eden Baptist Church, at his study, 218 Park Avenue, east. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Belle Burroughs wishes to thank her friends for their kindness during the illness of her mother and for the many floral designs. Dinner, Dance and Ball Gowns PANNIERS FAVORED DETAILS bal ———— With Timely Suggestions for, All Saints’ Eve. New York, October 13,—Afternoon frocks for more dressy occasions are quaint and becoming to a degree; many of them look as if they might have been worn by grande dames of the period just following the French Revolution, with perhaps a little ad- ded dignity. . ‘The taffetas, failles and velvets fa- vored for these gowns lend themselves yarticularly well to the draperies now in vogue, panniers, poufs and the loose panels of Watteau’s figures. ‘The ting of winter in the air recalls us all to the dignity of formal dimers, dance~, teas, and like occasions, with thelr respective demands for more for- anal frecks than tho-e we have enjoyed all summer, our simple wash taffeta moiels, so hecoming and youthful-look- ing.

Overskirts Growing in Popularity Many of the imported sowns show the apron overskirt, usually made of chiffon, embroidered jor heavily beaded, combined with straight full skirts, pan- eled with velvet, on cloth and silk frocks. Some of these models show a profusion of trimming; others are sim- pligity and dignity itself, relying entire- ly on the cut and color combination for effect. Chiffon as a Trimming Many bolero effects are noticed on winter frocks and costume blouses, as corsage trimmings. Chiffon, heavily soutached, and chiffon veilings pay im- portant parts in the scheme of trim- mings. Many of the new blouses are gee’ . 4 : / . . | ff 1 fptrne pans jase ‘iia Sehr ‘i ee a 7) Soh WA BESORAN SZ ‘ <4) “an ae MALT A Va | YW au t A “BS G ° # ~ | wed 4 st, y] | s ES 7 .

Gray is nearly as popular a shade for this type of frock as for daytime wear; often it is combined with black lace over white most ¢ffectively. Much velvet is used, combined with satin, taffeta, or faille, or as handings for the cloth frocks whieh are quite popular. The Day of Dance Not Passed. Dancing is still much in favor. Some charmjnyly capricious frocks have been designed this winter expecially for the ‘maid or ‘matron who dances. Many of these are delightfully youthful and friv- olous; one expecially dainty creation has a skirt made entirely of ribbon, with net bodice, velling a band of rib- hon at the bust Ine, Net, and the dainty colored bordered chiffons, anr much used for these gowns; also the quaintly patterned ‘taffetas and bro- cades, so reminiscent of days gone by. ‘The nets and chiffons are usually hung over slips of satin or taffeta, or looped up, pannier fashion, over a silver or gold brocade satin underskirt. The Fancy Dress Costume ‘There are times when it is pleasant to dispense with the frock especially designed for certain purposes, .and to let Fancy take her own way, and grab us as she will, in some particularly fan- tastic creation all her own. All Saints’ Eve, or Hallowe'en, is one of these times. The maid who looks for her mate in the candle’s flame, and the man who frivols in fantastic garb, are at perfect liberty to enjoy this welrd eve- ning in whatever costume pleases them most. There is no more demure, pleas- ing costume for the maid than: this quaint Empire frock with its frilled pantalettes, its crescent and star deck- ed bonnet, and Its fuzzy-talled black cats, worldavide omens of good luck and witches’ magic, bordering its short, full skirt. The man may wear a Pier- rot costume; it has always heen a fa- yorite and loves none of its charm this winter. AN INJUSTICE TO NEGRO PRESS An Open’ Letter to Negro Merchants Business League Talk No 4 1 As’ one reds the Nezro newspapers from week to week, they cannot but feel that as a class the Nesro editors are just about as unselfish as any set fof people in the country. They}are, in fact, the ultra-exponents of unscltish- ness. No less than a dozen of these take thelr turn ¢ach week and speak editor- ially to the race, urging them to pat- ronize the members of the race who are in Imsiness, That appears to he une topie on which all the publishers aeree and in agitating for moré lib- eral and sustained patronage for Ne- gro business enterprises they are prompted by no loftier motive than thelr pride of the race and their ab- sobing desire for the race's upelimh into the more Important avenues of commerce and Industry. For this they are te be commended and should.be en- couraged, By continually. urging the rdce to support its business men, these papers are extending the trade of the Negtp business Inen, But what are the Ne- gro"Merchants as a group #iving back to the Negro papers in return and what are they doing to ¢o-operate with all this agitation? It must be granted that quite a few individual merchants sive their printing of stationery to col- gred printers and not a few insert sinall advertisements in Negro News- papers which in many instances is “traded out”, but there is entire ab- sence of group appreciation on the part of Negro merchants for the great work now being done for them by the Negro editors, ‘ Here are some questions which suz- Rests themselves as.we read the Ne- ‘gro papers and see how earnestly they ae pulling for the Nezro business men: Why do the colored merchants not speak for themselves? Why do they contime to let the Ne, < gro newspapers pay their advertising pitts? Why are they content with the busi- ness which “drifts in?” Why do they not combine and go after the race's Imsiness in a big way? The Imyiness is certainly there for the asking, The race is spending now ahont $60,000,000 a year for food and only about a fourth of this is going to colored merchants; the race is spending $50,000000 i year for Shoes and only about one-tenth of this is soing to Negro dealers. There is but one way to get this buSiness and that is to go after it in 2 definite and de- termined way. ey The burden of educating and culti- vating this trade rests with the bust- ness men themselves ud should not he left to,the colored papers. They have their hands quite full in getting our young folks educatéd ad in protect- ‘ing our rights. " To accomplish something tliat would really justify the effort, the merchants must of course realize the situation’ ‘as it is and then‘ determine to work out a plan which will accomplish the ‘desired results. First; have a com- mon understanding on the question of service. White merchants are their chief competitors and“no step towards sécuring bigger Negro trade can be made without studying the methods of competitors in order to meet them with methods equally as effective, Ser- vice has been one of the contributing factors to the success of white busi- ness enterprises and service is fifty per cent of any selling plan. This appears to be the era of ‘gets ting together.” Every magazine and daily paper tells of some class of men and women getting together to xolve ‘their problems and primarily to get ‘more business, If the 25.000 colored pene merchants-would each contribute $5.00 a year toa Grand Extension and publicity fund, there would be a fund }of $125,000 a year which could be in- yested in educating and cultivating Negro trade and in making Negro bust- ness places more attractive, ‘This fand could he appropriated about as follows: 1 A strong national campaign of education and advertising through Ne- fro newspapers to show the many ad- vantages of patronizing Negro busi- ness enterprises.” 2 A set of competent men to plan and garry out this, national advertis- ing_ campaign. & A few trained men to travel and organize local adverting campaigns, decorate sbow windows, arrange at- tractive displays of goods and other- wise co-operate with the national cam- paign by arouging local interest in pat- ronizing Ne business ehterprises, With such a big movement the col- Jored business men would have- the active support of the Negro newspapers and National Negro Busine&s League through its six hundred local leagues and these local leagues would furnish a nuclens with which to get such a campaigned launched, x In communities where local leagues are not already established, any rep resentative citizen umty address a let- ter to Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the National Negro Business League, Tuskegee Instifute, Ala., and he will gladly forward complete information regarding plans for organizing them. DR. WALKER AND THE S. J. 3 AT ALAPAHA Dr. Thomax H, B. Walker, supreme Chief of the St,.Joseph Ald Society of the World, was at Alapaha Sunday October 1th, In honor of his presence People came fronf every where until the building groaned with the tremend. ous multitude.

The driver climbs into place in front, with a huge peaked, pad. to keep him from falling aff when the camel rises. ben the passenger iounts behind the hump, and the cam- el fs 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 ean scarcely overcome his desire te prevent a fall by putting his feet on the driver’s shoulders.

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 propi- tious season of the year for entering upon matrimonial relations, The Ro- mans held that June weddings were Ukely to be happier than alMances con- tracted 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 spir- tts adverse to happy households, These ancient marriage superstitions were re- tained by the Christians in the middle ages, and even today June is consid- eted by many to be pre-eminently the month of marriages. — Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

Somebody tells some one else of “a good thing.” and ome one else proceeds to buy It be- cause “somebody” did. We ape all kinds of queer fashfons—in, dress, in modes of living and in everything else —doing 1é thoughtlessly, carelessly and Indifferently. Then we wonder why core succeed and so many fall. Pere haps the “some” are not so careless.

Saturday October 16th, 1915 Anent the shouting in the back of tp ten-year-old boy in Atlanta last wee by a. policeman, the Atlanta Journal under the head of “A Disgrace to th Public,” refreshingly acclaims the fol lowing = A little ten-year-old boy walking along the street with a bundle un- der his arm aroused the interest of a policeman, who ordered, him to halt. Becoming frightened, the child ran. Thereupon the police opened fire with a forty-four Colt’s revolver. The boy fell, his body ‘pierced with a bullet. The Grady hospital surgeons say he will die, or be miserably maimed for life it by a miracle he should recover. It turned out that the “suspicious” looking bundle which the boy car- ried contained a loaf pf bread which his mother bad given him to take to his brother for lunch. “The policeman explains that he fired simply to scare the child and had no intention . 6f* hitting him. This being granted, the fact re mains that a man, whe has no het- ter marksmanship -has no busi-. ness with a pistol; a man who has no better judgment is unfit for the police force; a man who bas no more sense of humanity thah to shoot down a ten-year-old child is, unsuited to tbe responsibility of protecting the public. There can be no rightful extenuation of this act. The policeman was eith- er criminally careless or crimin- ally foolish or criminally vicious The fact that the victim was a Negro child does not alter the principle involved. Right ts right and wrong ts wrong. ° ~The policeman ouzht to be stis- pended by the Chief immediately; he ought to‘be tried promptly by the Board and dismissed from the force; be ought to he indicted by the Grand Jury and punished as his crime deserves.” In the mean time the unfortunate boy is hanging between life and death and the policeman 1s enjoying his free lom. He bas since been indicted. a+ Evidently the Atlanta Journal failes to hear, if it did, a deaf ear wa paid fo the gathering of the Ku Klu: Klan that invaded the homes of thow peaceful and law-abiding colored citi zens on Houston street near Boulevar last week. This lawless gang orderes the colored residents of that localit; to leave their homes that they hat purchased simply teeause thes. homes are in close proximity to thetrs This lawless act was resorted to afte they filed to drive them ont by thel devilish and unjust segregation laws The Journal failed to say one wor condemnatory of the actions of thi lawless gang. yet it ald very just) rebuke the ruflians of Forsyt! county, in scathing words, heade “Rampant Ruffianism,” as follows: Forsyth county, so favored in many ways, is woefully unfortu- nate in having an“element of ruf- fians who are bright upon making their benighted prejudice the rom- munity’s law and their vicious whims a defiance to the state. When the “Seeing Georgia” tour- ists passed through that district a few days ago several of the an- | tomobiles, in which ladles were | occupants, were cursed and stoned because they were driven by Negro servants. At some poifits an at- tempt was even made to wrest the Grivers from their cars; and near a farmhouse, where a crowd of threatening men had gathered, a stick of stove wood was hurled at the passing motorists. * We do not indict the self-respect- ing, law-abiding citizens of For- syth county fer the act of this lawless element,-and we are con! yinced that they strongly condemn it, but it is evident that all self- respecting, law-abiding citizens ought to exert their every influence to end such brutal practices. The tourists thus insulted were Geor- gians, representatives of civic and & It would indeed be a godsend ff a certain ¢lass of our people never tast- ed and can never get a drop of in- toxicating liquors. From the reports presented to the County Commissioners, it required more than five thousand dollars to feed and guard the prisoners of this county, last month. If a more Mberal attitude was shown toward maintaining more schools for colored children a less umber would he found on the prison roll of the county after they became older, and the connty would he put to less expense. . There is nothing better and more effective than self help. This great lesson all of our people should learn aud act accordingly. Too long have we been dependent on our white friends afd relying upon them for all of our needs. The time has come for us to do something for ourselves, not that we are in the least non-appre- ciative of whut our white friends have ‘done for us. The great need for a home for our old peopte and an orphanage for our children 1s more apparent each day. The movement now on foot to estab- Mish an old folks home should be siren ion impetus. im this community there are ccn- stantly on the streets beggars for var- fous causes, especially for old folks’ homes or orphanages. An investigation should be made of these various beg- ars in order that the public may not he gouged by thove who are dishonest, All of our people should be aroused on account of the great need of more accommodation’ for our children. We should Jet thts great want be known in a no uncertain way in order that those in anthority may be appriced of the fact that we are mindful of and an- xious for the education! of our children. and which may spur them on to do something In our belialf. ia Tax paying time is on hand. Let all colored men especially those who have children in school, pay their poll tax of just one dollar. If we could bury all the” colored “knockers” in one grave what a bless- Ing it wonld he to the colored people. We hare them of three sorts, and they do much to grosslock race effort in everything that is propased to bedone. We single them out by numbers: 1 “Oh, he's no good! What does he know? We can’t follow him anywhere.” 2. “There is nothing in that fdea but failure. You can’t tell me I know.” 3, “Now, the race ain't ready to do that, and- if it was, the “white folks won't stand for it.” Kill all the colored people who make up the members of these three groups, or convince them of -their error and that confidence ‘in the individual and the race and things proposed make for success all of the time, and we would have a new, bap- tisin of life—New York Age. * .

Sheafer Withdraws , From Southern California | ] Conference. Lewis ©. Sheafe, a valuable elder of the Seventh-day* Adventist denomina- tion, demonstrated his pluck and man- ly courage when he withdrew from the Southern California Conference of thes denbmination he bas, seryed “so long and faithfully, on account of its doctrine bearing upon the color line. During the past year Elder Sheafe founded in Los Angeles a splendid church. The members of this church also withdrew from the conference and passed ringing resolutions setting forth reasons for their actions. The name of the church founded by Rev. Mr. Sheafe is the Berean Seventh Day Adventist Church. Since it sev- ered from the conference it is now known as the Free Seventh Day Ad- yentist Church, with Rev. Lewis ©. Sheafe of 1442 West Thirty-fifth street, Los ‘Angeles, Cal., as pastor. The act of Rey. Sheafe and his mem- bers is regurded us an event of great historical importance. “ The trouble grew out of the fact that Rev. Sheafe and bis members could not conscientt- ously subseribe to certain sentiments contained in “The Testimonies, Vol- ume 9,” bearing on the color line. ‘This book’ is regarded by the elders as in- epired writings. Mrs. Ellen G. White, author, was, according to the elders of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, divinely inspired, and “The Testtmon- fea” serve as an infalliable guide to all the bellevers in tiis denomination, Aitho her work lacks Mterary merit, she has written some very excellent things about the Bible. Her argu; ments, however, sre wanting in order- ly arrangement, progressive and logical presentation, and they are especially grievously offensive when treating the color question. Rey. Mr. Sheafe -was asked ff he belfeved all of the “Tes- Hmontes," and he-frankly avowed that he did not and for the reasons fotlow- ing ‘The “Testimontes" teach radical dis- crimination _ and do not harmonize with the Bible. We quote: “From Australia, across the brond waters of the Pacific, cautions were sent that every movement must be guarded; that the workers were to make no political speeches, and that the mingl- ing of whites and blacks in social equslity was by no means to be en- couraged. * * § In regard to white and culored people worshiping tn the came building, this cannot be followed as a general custom. The best thing will he to provide the colored peopl with places of worship of their dyn, in which they can carry on their ser- ices by themselves.” Thix isthe doc- trine of separation and 1s diametrically oppasak to this author's teachings in earlier of her writings. On page 202 pf this “sacred” book the author de ares that “But for several reasons white men mugt be chosen as leaders.” This means that, however capable, no colored man can Jead in this denomt- nation, This with other sentiments in the “Testimonies,” proved more than this histotie bedy of christian workers could stand, and hence the following resolutions: “Whereas, we, the members and friends of the“‘fe- rean Seventh Day Adventist of Los Angeles, Cal. accept the Bible alone as our supreme rule of faith and practice, and accept only such other yritings as harmonize with thé Rible; and whereas, the Southern California Conference éf the Seventh Day Ad- ventist teaches that to question or dis- helieve any part of the ‘Testimonies’ grieves the Holy Spirit and will Jead to the utter destruction of those who doubt or question them; and “whereas. the <ame ‘Testimonies’ teach discrim- ination against the colored race, to wit, ‘So long were they (colored spev: ple) under the curse of slavery that it is a difficult problem to know how they should now he treated’ (Volime ), page 21%) ‘It is Satan’s plan to call minds to the study of the Hue? “ * * “The colored people should not urge that they be placed on an sqnality with white people? * *7* ‘White and egipred people be labored for in separate and distinct lines, and let the Lord take care of the rest’ " * * ‘Opportunities are continnal- ly Presenting themselres in the south- rm states, and many wise christian ~olored men will be called to the work.

The ahoe resolutions were signed by a large number of members and friends, and were unanimously adopted, This $s one of the most unusual events of our generation, and the colored peo- ple of Tos Angeles of every denomi- nation are applauding Rev.

A glance at the current events of the world for the past decade shows that the great principles of Masonry are coming to be regarded by the masses as a standard by which true worth can be fairly estimated. There is a firmness and solidity about the Masonic Fraternity that no other organization has ever attained and makes it "King of all Fraternities." Helps to Masonry The nails and cement are small things in a building, yet the other materials are utterly useless without these little things. Equally so in Masonry—the seemingly small things count. In my last article I insisted on a decorous and proper initiation of a candidate as all important and should never be neglected. There are other helps. Remember the candidate's mind is a blank, and you are responsible for the impression made on it. Ocular demonstrations make a deeper impression than the oral. You may tell a candidate a thing many times over, yet it will not make the deep impression that one glance of the eye makes. There is nothing that helps right here more than Akin's Manual and the Masonic Herald, and I seriously think a candidate should be required to subscribe for both on being raised, and required to study them. You can't catch up a fellow, mark him' and turn him loose a Mason. No, sir, the job is too big for that sort of work. You may rush him through the degrees but you do him and Masonry both a wrong that will never be remedied. Don't do it. Masonry, to be properly appreciated, must be more fully undertook by those who have been initiated into her mysteries. To pass through the ceremonies of initiation in the lodge is but to receive the key by which to open her sacred treasures. To enter in, participate and enjoy the rich stores prepared for those who have been found worthy, is the privilege conferred upon every one who is permitted to cross the threshold of the lodge. How few there are of our brethren who seem to realize this fact. They stand, as if bewildered, at the very entrance, and neither advance nor retreat. Years roll by, and they are still there, immovable as the pillars which stood by the porch of the Temple of Solomon. If there is any Masonry in them, it remains as securely locked in their breasts as were ever to ancient archives within the receptacle of those two brazen pillars. We hope they are benefited by it, for it is certainly lost to every one else. Let your light shine brethren, even though it be a ray; it may prove a beacon for some benighted brother who is trying to escape from the darkness which surrounds him. The gavel in a Masonic lodge is something called a Hiram, because as Solomon controlled and directed the workmen in the temple by the assistance of Hiram the Builder, so does the Master preserve order in the lodge but the aid of the gavel, and as the lodge is an initiation of the temple and each member represents a stone thereof, so, by the influence of the gavel, all the ebullitions of temper and the indecorum of frivolity are restrained, as the material stones of the building were, by the same instrument, divested of their asperities and imperfections. The true form of the gavel is that of the stone Mason's hammer. It is to be made with a cutting edge at one end that it may be used to break off corners of rough stones, an operation which could never be effected by a common hammer or mallet—Mackey. The Mason who is content with but a portion of the light that streams from the East, is not awake to his opportunities. He has little understanding of the great doctrines of his fraternity. The principles set forth with so much unction by the mere ritualist, are but the smallest part of the lessons taught in the great Masonic school. Masonry, like everything else of value, is progressive. And the craftsman who does not follow up his craft teachings, to the farthest point, misses the greatest portion of its goodly stature. The Test It is very easy for Masons to observe their obligations when all goes well—when skies are fair and temptations do not assail. But when the test comes—what? That is the very time when the power of Masonry should be heard. We do not refer to things that are morally wrong. Not only our Masonry but our religion, should protect us against the pitfalls of sin and crime. But in the little every day affairs of life, when misunderstandings arise between brethren, instead of patiently asserting the facts, we sometimes take for granted what may not be true, and act hastily and unjustly. Is it our Masonic duty to go to those whom ye imagine have wronged us and learn the truth. Nine times out of ten differences could be adjusted in a friendly and Masonic way. Tale-bearing is the cause of much trouble. Let us be cautious in believing those who go up and down as tale-bearers between brethren. At any rate, let us remember our Masonic obligations at all times and under all circumstances. Let us bear the test.

A wife was seeking divorce on the grounds of extreme cruelty and brutally abusive treatment. The husband was on the stand undergoing a grueling cross examination. The examining attorney said: "You have testified that your wife on one occasion threw cayenne pepper in your face. Now, sir, kindly tell us what you did on that occasion." The witness hesitated and looked confused. Every one expected that he was about to confess to some shocking act of cruelty. But their hopes were shattered when he finally blurted out: Necessity Haa No Law. "I wish I could afford to own an automobile," remarked Brownsmith, who was taking a spin in Flubdub's touring car. "I wish I could, too," repiled Flubdub.—Life. 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." Hia Desire.

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.

VALUE OF LIFE No one, I am sure, ever laid down a great tragedy without an overwhelming sense of the value of 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.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES T. 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, 18). 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 polished pottage and the waters that filled ditches without wind or rain. The multiplying of the willow'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 Shunamnite'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 leaper; 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 Syri, "a leper," an incurable sick 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 array 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 maid 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 in the house of Potiphar, sought to glorify God even in her very trying circumstances. She was like Pollyanna. She was sorry for Nanaan 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 maid's testimony kings are moved and health brought to the leper, but we do not hear of any reward for the little maid. The Lord will not forget her in the resurrection (Luke xiv, 14; Matt. x. 42). The king of Syria sent Nnaman 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 Ellsha 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 Ellsha, 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 Nanman 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 (Genix, 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 vili, 20). Languages. The verse found in Genesis II, "And the whole earth was of one language and of one people," has given rise to much speculation as to the language spoken on the earth previous to the "confusion of tongues." According to many authorities, Hebrew was the language spoken by Adam, while others state that Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldee are simply dialects of the original tongue. The Persians assert that there were three primitive languages. The Arabic, being the most persuasive, was used by the serpent in addressing Eve; the Persian, being the most poetic, was spoken by Adam and Eve, and the Turkish, being the most menacing, was employed by the angel when driving the guilty pair from the garden of Eden. Herodotus says that Psammetichus, king of Egypt, wishing to learn the language that would naturally be spoken by a person, caused two infants to be carefully guarded and kept from all verbal intercourse. When brought before him the first word the children uttered was bekos, the Phrygian for bread, whereupon it was at once asserted the Phrygian was the primeval or oldest tongue—Philadelphia Press. For the Ultra Precise Professor Thomas R. Lounsbury said at Cambridge in a talk on English; "But precision can be carried too far. The ultra precise, even when logically right, are really wrong. "An ultra precise professor went into a hardware shop and said: "Show me a shears, please." "You mean a pair of shears, don't you?" said the dealer. "No,' said the professor. 'I mean what I say. I mean a shears.' "The dealer took down a box of shears. "Look here, professor,' he said, 'Aren't there two blades here? And don't two make a pair?' "Well, you've got two legs. Does that make you a pair of men?' And the professor smiled at the dealer triumphantly through his spectacles. "He was logically right, but, really, he was wrong."—Philadelphia Bulletin. What It Is Like to Fly In "Air Craft In the Great War," by Claude Graham-White and Harry Harper, an answer to the question, "What is it like to fly?" is brief: The question has lost novelty, yet it has never been answered—never, that is to say, in a manner wholly convincing. "The reason is that the sensation is indescribable—"like nothing else on earth," has a passenger has said. If you can imagine yourself gliding over a smooth surface of ice on skates you cannot feel and which make no noise, that may convey some faint idea perhaps of the feelings you experience after leaving ground. You are supported on something, yet you are not supported. You look down, and there is nothing below you but an empty void. Yet the machine rides firmly and securely, as though you were in a motorcar on the smoothest road. What Is a Placer? A placer is an unconsolidated deposit accumulated by mechanical processes, carrying one or more minerals in commercial quantities. All placers are secondary deposits—that is, the material of which they are composed was originally derived by erosion of bedrock. Although it is undoubtedly true that under certain conditions nuggets of placer gold have been enlarged through chemical precipitation, yet this action is a negligible quantity in placers. Placers may be derived solely by rock weathering without water sorting, but more commonly are the result of water transportation, sorting and deposition. Many of the richest placers are those formed by the erosion of older placers and the reconcentration of their gold. George's Father. Augustine Washington, the father of George Washington, was engaged in 1732 in making pig iron at Accokeek furnace, in Stafford county, Va., about fifteen miles from Fredericksburg, when his famous son was born. This furnace had been built by the Principio company, composed of English capitalists, as early as 1726 on land owned by Augustine Washington, aggregating about 1,600 acres and containing iron ore. Mr. Washington becoming the owner of one-sixth of the furnace property in consideration of the transfer of his land to the company. A Chinese Gutenberg. There is pretty good evidence of a Chinese Gutenberg, one Pl Ching, who in 1041 carved cubes of porcelain paste with Chinese characters, afterward baked them and "set" the porcelain type by help of parallel wires on a plate of iron in a cement bed. It is certain that the art of printing was known in the Celestial empire for centuries before it came to light in Europe. Feminine "Short and Ugly."

Very few people realize that there was arday when petticoats were worn by soldiers and sallors on board ships of war. In the days. before the royal marines were regularly established as a separate corps the foot regiments of the Une used to take St in turns to serve as marines on shipboard. Pettt- coats were quite commonly worn in the navy in Nelson's time, having been in vogue there since the days of Queen Elizabeth. and the soldiers, being sud- denly called upon to do the work of sailors, naturally adopted their dress, finding it no donbt far handier and more convenient than their own tight fitting, frozzed and braided uniforms,— London Mail. * Odd Names-In China.

Lesson v-—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 24, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. ‘Text of the Lesson, I! Kings vi, 8-17. Memory Verses, 16, 17—Golden Text, Ps, xxxiv, 7—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. . In last "week's lesson the conduct of Elisha, the man of God, was truly grand as he made it manifest that he did indeed stand before the ~living God, not cringing to nor fawning-upon any human greatness nor seeking any- thing from any one but the Lord alone. His covetous lying servant could not J understand it and brought upon him- ‘self the leprosy of Naaman. “Take Ineed, and beware of covetousness,” for “covetousness is idolatry” (Luke X15, 15; Col. i, 5). The opening verses of our lesson chapter tell of Elisha going with the sons of the prophets to Jordan to ob- tain material to enlarge their dwelling, which had become too strait for them. We are not’ told what school this was, ioe Probably the one at. Jericho, for that was nearest to Jordan, and per- haps the same young men who search- ed in vain three days for Elijah. It Jooks as if there was an increase in the number of students, and if so It may have been because of the translation of Elijah, ‘This I do know that the truths concerntug the coming of Christ and associated events always lead to increase of interest in Bible study. ‘The lostChx recovered by a bit of tree cast into the water, which made the fron swim, makes me think of the tree which made the waters of Marah to lose their bitterness (Ex. xy, 25) and. of Him who is the tree of life, who alone can recover the lost or sweeten Ditter waters. In our present lesson the king of Israel was delivered several times from the king of Syria bécause of the time- ly warnings of Elisha, so that the king of Syria believed that he had a traitor in his army who was a friend of the king of Israel. He called his servants to inquire which of them it was who revealed his plans to the king of Isra- el. It was thus that he learned that there was no traitor among his people, but that there was a prophet in Isra- el who could tell bis king everything. even the words he spoke in secret “(Ferses 8-12). hen the king of Syria determined to capture Elisha and sent horses and chariots, a great hott, who came by night and compassed the city’ of Do- than, where Elisha was (verses 13, 14). In the morning Blisha’s servant, see- ing this great host, was filled with fear, and said, “Alas, my master, how shall we do?”, Elisha calmly replied, “Fear not, for they that be with us are more thah they that be with them” (verses 15, 16), Elisha could make the words of Darid his own, “Though an host should encamp against me my heart shall not fear* (Ps. xxvil, 3). He could say with Paul, “Ir God be for us who can be against us?” (om. vill 31.) Oh, the rest of such confidence in God, the victory of such a consciousness of the unseen! Moses endured as seeing Him who is invisl- ble. David also realized in a remark- able degree the presence of the Lord. Our Lord Jesus when he was. here was ministered to by the angels and said that He could bare legions of them for the asking. As Elisha en- deavored to quiet his servant he sald. “Lord, I pray'thee, open his eyes that he may sce.” And the young man saw the mountain full of horses and cbari- ots of fire round about Elisha (verse 17). Ob, for such a sight of unseen realities! But then comes the word, “Blessed are they that have not seen, yet have believed” “We walk by faith, not by sight” (John xs, 20; I Cor. ¥, 7). I do believe that the an- gels (not our friends who have died) are ministering to the redeemed on the earth, the heirs of salvation (Heb. i, 44), I often say to my people and to the classes that I know that I bave two congregations, those whom I’see and the dnvisible angels who desire to look into, the things of which we speak (I Pet. i, 12). z As the Syrians came to take Elisha he said, “Lord, I pray Thee smite this people with blindness," and He did so. Then Elisha said to them, “Follow me, and I will ‘bring you to the man whom ye seek” (verses 18, 19), for it was really the king of Lergel whom they were seeking. They only wanted the| prophet because he was hindering, them from getting the king of Israel. Having brought them to the man they yanted, he said, “Lord, open the eyes of tliese men that they may see,” and, their eyes being opened, they found themselves in Samaria ‘in the presence of the king of Israel. At the sugges- tion of Elisha he prepared great pro- vision for them, and when they bad eaten and drunk he sent them away, Re tt ere eae eee YOUNG BROS. - 507 WEST BROAD STREET e the Home of Sweets.

HARDSTEW ATTENDS THE BAPTIST CONVENTION | Lawence, Kan.—Some time ago I sent @ letter to your paper and de not know whether or not it was published. I have bad a great desire to write for papers, although my education is limited and I do not know very much, yet I would like to write that little I do know. I have always had a de- sire to write for newspapers. I have visited Savannah and have seen that plant of The Savannah: Trib- une, and have met the editor in person, and this has caused me above every- thing else to want to write to the peo- ple there and let them get acquainted with me, since I am going to spend all the money I have saved in getting around to see the country and when I am through seeing then I am going to turn my attention to something else. Of course I will have to turn at- tention to something else before my money will be out and there will be the getting along. I do not want to spend it all, because I must save some for hard times, and I am sure he {s going to come along. I was down there during the ses- sion of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias and had the pleasure of meet- ing many people and seeing some J.did not meet, but that fs all thra utd * I was at the session of the National ‘Baptist Convention and I am sure that many of the people will want to hear from that. I am a little late in writing and I am told that yod- are editing a weekly newspaper and not a monthly, and if that be true, then you have had all about the convention and will not need anything more. But I wish you could have been there. People were there from all parts of the country. and all took part in the open- ing, conducted mainly by Rev. E. M. Cohron, of Missourl and Rey. A. D. Williams of Atlanta. a Rey. Cohron was the paying man, and he made a strong speech, then Rev. A. D. Willams, from Atlanta came to the bat and he all but made a home run. He said that the churches to- day were getting too up-to-date with billiar#t tables, pool and bath rooms, swimming pools and the Lord Him- self would have to tell the other things that were beini: used to reach the peo- ple, but he declared that the only thing necessary was to hold up Jesus Christ and preach him, for He sald “and if if I be Hfted up wilt draw all men funto me.” Dr. Williams finished bis speech, and then the Rev. Dr. Morris, president of the convention took charge, and had the programme’ read, and there is just where the ‘fun started, it looked like there was going to be a little hair or wool pulling. But this was soon over. What I mean by that they ‘raised points, voted and everything else until time. to adjourn. It was then that Mississippi* Jones took the reins in his hands, * elected himself chairman, so to speak, and then pro- ceeded to organize a’ convention as he thought. I do not mean to organize, but to take the convention. If you know anything about Dr. E. P. Jones you kiiow he is a man who likes tobe at the head of things. You will have to ask the Odd Fellows, and they can tell you all. He soon declared himself elected president of the convention, and after he had declared himself duly elected he tried to keep Dr. Morris from pres!d, Ing, and he did too, believe me. ‘Th¥ré was no convention in the afternoon, for both men tried to preside. The next morning Dr. Jones, instead of going to the convention, went down to Judge [smith and told him that Dr. E. ©. Morris, L. G. Jordan, B. W. D. Isaac and Sutten E. Griggs, were disorderly, and wanted him to enjoin them from taking any part in the convention or even having a voice. The judge heard only one side of it, and Issued the pa- per, and placed in the hands of a deputy sheriff to serve. The deputy sheriff went with Dr. Jones, and B. F. Mosley, and W. G. Anderson, two lawyers, went along also to see that it was carried out. Dr. Morris was delivering bis address when Rev. E. P. Jones and the white man walked in. Dr. Jones pointed out Dr. Morris, the paper was read to him and he stopped making his speech, and sat down, ‘Thien the men,got busy. A lawyer was secured at once, and in the after. noon they were in court. Judge Smith heard the other side of the question—in fact he heard the whole question, ‘and without a word told Dr, Jones that he was out of order and sald the injunetion 1s dissolved. Then Dr. Morris returned, heard the reports, finished bis addresy, the of. ficers were elected, and the convention went on. Of course the crowd left then and organized another convention, and as to what will become of it, re- mains yet to be discovered. The National Baptist Convention will meet next September in Savannah, Ga., and they will be there in large numbers to see that {t is there. You will have the Baptist family down there. I am going to come along. You need not think that they will not be there, for believe me, it will be a big convention. . The united conyention of Georgia is with the National Baptist conven- tion almost to a man. Revs. W. Boll- var Davis and T. J. Goodall, D. D., worked hard to get the convention there, and they descrve credit in get- ting it, Muskogee, Okla., was there also with a bid for the conyentioa.
