It tells of the pecullar fitness of the new prin- cipal, Major Moton, for the position as lead of the greatest industrial school in the world. "The extension work of the institution is touched upon very impressively’ in the report, all of the important meet- ings and conferences at the institution being mentioned. ‘The erection of ninety-two rural school houses last yeur and the erecting of 100 more this year, under the Rosenwald Fund, which 4s distributed through Tuskegce-told oF. “The enrollment of the school during the year just ending, Mny 3ist last. was 1,564 students.

The leading events which usually mark the opening of the social season in New York having already taken place, it is very easy for eve the causal observer to differentiate between the rejected and the accepted modes. It is very unlikely now that there will be any surprises in store for us before the spring fashions begin to appear, and it is still too early to anticipate these, though it must be admitted that such things as spring talk, even as early as this has not been un MCCALL We may be thoroughly assured, however, that the straight lines and slim silhouette, of which we have heard and seen so much, are to stay with us throughout the season. On every side we see countless variations of the chemise dress, which has certainly been the most insistent note from Paris all along. There is no doubt that this is the leading style of the moment, both in Paris and New York. A Paris model which has been copied again and again with great success is illustrated here. It is the Copenhagen blue chiffon velvet with silver metallic embroidery worked in the simple darning stitch, one of the most widely used garments for the fashionable dresses at present. The overdress effect is such that it may be carried out in two materials. For a very rich effect there is no smarter combination than satin and velvet. These combinations, with the addition of fur, J. ZOJAN The Jabot Blouse and Pocketed Skirt occasionally, are in excellent taste and entirely approved by fashion leaders entirely approved by fashion leaders. It is well established also, that satin is one of the leading materials for dresses this season. as popular and numerous as were the taffeta dresses in the autumn, so are the satin frocks this winter. One of the reasons for its popularity is that this materials is not too light to be worn comfortably under the top coat, even in cold weather. Again, it is not considered too dressy for informal wear, while it is always just right for receptions, teas and matinees. The Latest in Millinery The use of satin is not limited to dresses and suits only, but it is quite extensively used by the milliners, especially in the fashioning of small turbans. In many of these latest hats it is noticed that the trimming is placed directly in front. Small round hats or shapes with upfurned brims are often trimmed with a high algrette in the very center. Hats which are embroidered vell which serves as an tirely untrimmed except for the heavily adornment are still very popular. Chantilly and metallic laces have also entered the field of millinery. With so much metallic laces used on dresses, the milliners have its possibilities as applied to hats and are using it most successfully combined with satin or velvet. Not infrequently, there is another addition in the form of fur. By reason of the formality of these materials, these hats are, of course, worn for formal occasions. To trim sports hats the very newest thing is worsted or felt motif representing animals and all sorts of curious designs. These are appliqued to crowns or brims. Chenille in bright colors is also used as a trimming for hats. About Blouses and Skirts Basque blouses, though they are being favored more and more day by day, have not succeeded in ousting the blouse that is worn inside the skirt. The model with a frill of fine lace in front or of the soft material of the blouse still holds its own. Some very attractive new blouses are of tan or sand-colored Georgette decorated with shadow embroidery in fine wool. Motifs worked in old blue, old rose and tan enhance the artistic beauty of these walsts. Bright yellow and deep rose are among the newest colors that have been seen in separate blouses. Some have collars of the same material, while others are trimmed with a white collar. No matter what rumors may be circulated to the contrary from time to time, the separate waist and skirt are always for us. Separate skirts are offered in plain and pleated models, some with pockets and yokes and some without. A yoke which extends in points over the hips is exceptionally smart. Over the points are placed little pockets with flaps that are buttoned down. Scotch plaids and checked materials in two colors are used for the serviceable tailored skirts, as well as the other popular woolen fabrics of the season. HARDSTEW VISITS KANSAS Topeka, Kans.-The doctors have associations, the preachers have their various organizations and they come together and talk about their work, and I believe in my soul that all the people are getting together for I heard of a convention of liars, and in order to be a member you would have to produce a lying certificate. Now you want to know what I am after now, and since you want to know I will have to tell you. The farmers of this country are certainly getting together and they are going to make the country know that they are together. You see that they declare that while the policemen say I protect you all, the preacher, I pray for you all, the doctor, I cure you all, and then looks the farmer in the face of all classes and declares, I feed you all. I have felt the result of their labor in the country, and I am going to keep on feeling it until I am called to another world to mingle with the angles. In a few days from now, the farmers of Alabama will have their big time at Tuskegee. They will have a shorter course and this break up with a conference. Already the farmers of Kansas have gotten together at the Western Tuskegee Institute. It is at the Industrial and Educational Institute, at the head of which is one big man, Dr. William R. Carter. He started the school and has been sticking to it ever since. He is a man who has produced something. This is now the state school, and they have some real people at the head of it. Dr. Carter, like Dr. Washington, thought that all the people should be helped, and he went about to help them to a queen's taste. This is no joke. You see just after I heard of this, I decided that I was going to be on hand to see what would happen during the stay. I sent word to President Carter,' telling him just when I was going to be there, and he was right on hand to receive me, himself and he did. I am here to tell you. When I stepped off the train he was right there, and carried my trunks to the automobile. It was not long before he had me right at the school and introduced me to his wife, telling her that I had decided to visit the conference and would be their guest during the stay. She did receive me with a smile as only a woman can smile and told me to be at home. She introduced me to her three daughters and one son, and one of the daughters started to entertain me with music, but changed her mind. Then over to the buildings. 'I went over to the girl's dormitory and was told to be at home there. Of course I was right at home with them. Mrs. M. L. Matthews, the matron of all the girls, smiled in a smile that would have been an honor to the "Gold Dust Twins." She is one woman born to be polite and to fill just the kind of position that she is filling now. Next I met the "Messing Science Teacher". She was busy, and I had seen her in Washington, D. C. Next then I met one of the best little women I have ever met. She knew her business when it came to writing fast. It was Miss C. V. Carter, who comes from some little town in Illinois, but they train them well up there. This young woman can wright as fast as you can wink your eye, and then she will have to stop and wait for you to catch up with her. I don't see how she can put words down so fast. She is filling her position well. Miss Mamie J. Hopkins, who comes from Charleston, W. Va., is the book-keeper. I am told it does not mean that she borrows your book and fails to return them. That is what I could call book-keeping, but she has some books at the school as large as she is and when she gets up in the morning she goes to writing in them and keeps is up all day. They tell me that she is one of the finest in the country. One of the features of the school is the music department, and it is under Misses Carrie Carney and Edith Moore. They know as much about music as the man who invented it, and when they get to heaven the Lord will have some use for them. But now about the meeting. It was held under the name and style of the Sunflower State Agricultural Association, which is one more organization with some big men in it. I was delighted to meet this bunch and to see what they were doing and how they were doing it. They told all about the crops, and how to care for chickens, how to care and feed cows and other stock, how to raise potatoes, children and everything else that belongs on the farm. I shall have to tell you more about it in another letter. Will have to bring this letter to a close soon. I am going to say more to you. C.J. Hardstew A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE "Fall, silent snow, from out the pitying sky. And hide our guilty world! Cover them all— The corpses that in reeking trenches lie— The Belginn, the Briton and the Gaul. Teuton and Slave; fall softly then and deep On ruined home and blasted field and wood; To thy cold pillow let the wounded creep Till Death at last brings peace—and brotherhood! O couldst thou hide despair! Couldst thou but stay The pangs of famine!: Couldst thou still the cry Of desolate mothers! Couldst thou but allay The widow's grief and bush the miaden's sigh O'er broken hopes! How many a winter's snow Must fall ere time shall heal the universal woe." The-Hymu "I thank Thee, Lord, that here our souls, Though amply blest. Can never find, although they seek, A perfect rest! Nor ever, shall, until they lean On Jesus' breast." 111-The Prayer $ ^{5} $ "Heavenly Father, help me to remember that I am one of a great family, and let me so live that all the family may be enriched. Let no one be robbed of comfort by my treachery, and let no one go through life impoverished because I neglected my duty. May everybody find their appointed strength in me, and in this service may I walk with God. Amen." IV—The Greeting That something more than the Brotherhood of Death, something fuller and richer, something more in consonance with the spirit of "the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named" may come into the thought and life of this war-stricken world, seems the appropriate heart's desire at this Christmas season, nineteen hundred sixteen. Yours, in the Brotherhood that binds us all around the great white throne. —Edgar H. Webster THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE DISTINGUISHED WRITER HONORED BY ASSOCIATION James Weldon Johnson Chosen Field Secretary for N. A. A. C. P. New York, Dec. 18—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at the December meeting of the Board of Directors, appointed Mr. James Weldon Johnson to the new created position of Field Secretary. Mr. Johnson is well-known throughout America as contributing editor of the New York Age, as an author of distinction, and as prize winner in the recent contest of the Philadelphia Ledger for editorials on "Why Hughes Should be Elected." His appointment indicates that a consolidation of forces is being effected among colored Americans at the present time, and that the substantial unanimity of opinion expressed by the leaders of all schools of thought last summer at the Amenia Conference is working out in the direction of a more united front to the common enemies of the race. James Weldon Johnson was born in Jacksonville, Fla., June 17, 1871, where he was educated in the public schools. In 1894 he graduated from Atlanta University with the degree of A. B., and he received his master's degree at the same university in 1904. His southern birth and southern training will make it possible for him to work and organize in the South as no northern man could. Mr. Johnson also spent three years in graduate work at Columbia University, in the city of New York, and for several years was principal of the colored high school at Jacksonville, Fla. He was admitted to the Florida bar in 1897 and practiced law in Jacksonville until 1901, when he removed to New York to collaborate with his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson, in writing for the light opera stage. He married Grace E. Nail, of New York in 1910. Mr. Johnson, too, has had an interesting career in the public service. In 1906 he was appointed United States Consul at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, being transferred as Consul to Corinto, Nicaragua, in 1909, and to the Azores in 1912. While at Corinto, he looked after the interest of his country during the stormy days of the revolution which resulted in the downfall of Zelaya and the abortive revolution against Diaz. His knowledge of Spanish has been put to use in the translation of many Spanish plays. He was the translator for the English libretto of "Goyescas," the Spanish grand opera produced at the Metropolitan Opera in 1915; and Mr. Johnson also has several translations from the French to his credit. But it is as an American author that he is best known. His poems have appeared in the Century, the Independent, the Crisis and other magazines; and his novel, "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man," is one of the most powerful stories ever woven about the theme of race relations. Mr. Johnson is a member of the American Society of Authors and Composers; of the Civic Club, New York; and is vice-president of the New York Branch of the National Association of Colored People. Recently he has been on a six weeks' mission throughout the South, representing the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, in an endeavor to persuade the editors of the leading white newspapers to take an enlightened attitude toward the exodus of Negro labor at present going on. Everywhere he was received with the greatest courtesy and consideration, and much good is expected to result from his presentation of the Negro's case. While for the present at least, Mr. Johnson will continue to act as contributing editor of the New York Age, his great abilities as writer, speaker, and politician will henceforth be devoted to organizing the millions of Negroes in American and spreading the doctrine of an uncompromising demand for their full rights as American citizens until the program of simple social justice for which the N. A. A. C. P. stands is realized. BAPTIST MINISTERS' UNION The Baptist Ministers' Union met in its regular weekly meeting which was called to order by the president, Rev. Wm. Gray. After devotions, conducted by Rev. H. D. Butler, the reading and confirming of the minutes of the previous meeting was in order. The president then called for sermonic reports. Rev. T. J.

Wash- ington that he was the interpreter of the blackman to the white man, the white man to the black man, and the South to the North and the North to the South, he summarized in that brief sentence the achievements of the great Negro educator and he outlined for Emmett J. Scott and Lyman Beecher Stowe the work which they had be- fore them in writing thelr book. Book- er T. Washington: The Bullder of a civilization.” This book has just been issued by Dudleday, Bage and Co., and is a clear and amazingly exhaustive analysis of the intrepretation referred to by Dr. Abbott, As the authors state, “This is not a biography in the ordinary sense.” It fs, however. almost autographical, 30 long and intimately was Mr, Scott a5- sociated with Dr, Washington, know- ing his thoughts and sharing practl- cally all the expriences of the great educator during the most active years of his life. The authors have succeed- ed in keeping themselves well in the background, and Dr, Washington fs alowed to speak for himself. To those who really knew and associ- ated with Dr. Washington, the book will Le 2 prized collection of his words, and an Interesting account of his deeds during the later and more fruitful. years of his life, Fur all, it will prove what he wished It to he, “a record of his struggles and qehlevements, ,at once, necumte and readable” It will serve as an inspiring source from which all mity draw something of the real spirit of this great leader of a race. His wisdem, philovophy, his teachings, and his acts are all set forth, The book ix not ouly the intimate record of a great manu who played in interesting and serviceable part In the leatlership of his race in this country, but is also to some degree a summary of the Negro’: recent and more im- portant achievements, It will serve as a revelation of the Negro to him- self no less than to others. It makes clear also many of Dr. Washington's services to the Negro and to the coun- try, about which Ittle hitherto been definitely Known, and it sets forth Dr. Washington's great love for men. e- pecially the Jess fortunate men and women, black and white, of the south- land. * Two chapters are devoted to “The Righis of the Negro” and “Meeting Race Prejudice” and none of those who fulrly and open-mindedly criticized Dr. Washington for his seeming attitnde of concillation and trucking to the prej- udicex of the South, ean read these pages without fecling a deep sence of reverence towards Dr Washington and A sort of guilty feeling for having eritt- ized without knowing the man and the ednditions which prompted his actions, He never defended himself from those who didnot understand him and It re mained an untouched task until, with reverential dignity, the authors of this book opened hts very heart and re vealed to the reader his inmost thoughts and striving, Even those letters which passed between Dr. Washington and, Col. Roosevelt, when he wits president of the United Stites, which Showed the relation between them, are presented as proof that both of these characters, whom the world foved for their distinguished service to humanity, were ene in thought and purpose that the character and integ- rity of men, both white and vlaék, who were to he appointed to feileral office should measure up to the high- est standard, : The hook also gives an interesting account of the development and man- agement of Tuskegee Institute—the greatest organization yet credited to Negro genius.

It is 1 celebration which everyone looks for ward to with pleasure, and yet when the day passes there usually is muel sorrow and regret in Its wake, caused by carelessness and that sort of friv- olity out of which so much harm often results. How often has many n par. ent’s heart been madé to ache simply because of some gift which he has madc DMs child out of which danger may be had. Would it not bo vetter were we to.give our children only those” pres- ents which reduce to a minim:m all danger of harm? Fire crackers, real and toy pistols, apd the like have,often been the weapons which have caused many a happy home to be turned into ‘one of desolation and anguish. Gifts of this nature should rot be allowed children, it matters not who gives them and were we tv refuse gifts of this nature a place among our cbiid- ren’s Christmas playthings, the often sorrowful aftermath of the joyous sea- son would be missing in many homes. ‘The sudden death last week of James Youngblood, the Negro convict who was serving a ten year sentence for murder, has brought sorth ,many in- teresting phases of the treatment ac- corded convicts in this county. From the evidence brought out at the cor- oner's inquest and also at the investt- gation by the county commissioners, the elreumstances surrounding the Meath of Youngblood deserve the thoro Investigations which have ale ready been given it and the further probing of the grand jury and the state prison commission, which it has been| rumored will be given the affair. There was much testimony given by @ dozen or more’ convicts which, it tene, should call for a most thorough and extensive correction of the whip- plag evil of yhich these men tell. Youngblood, it appears, would not work, or as some of the convicts put it, he knew but little of the kind of work requjred of men confined at a felony camp, but be this as it may, there 1s nothing which will justify a man being beaten to death simply \e- cause he refused to discharge his dut- jes as a member of a felony convict xang. The community Las heen just- ly aronsed over the death of Young- Blood. for, beyond’ a coubt, the bull: of testimony in the two hearings, bis sudden death las brought forth, <hows conclusively that the man was Bt least severely flogged on more than ore oc- casion. We feel that Coroner Righton is to he commended for the manner in which be probed the witnesses be- fore Iils court and we are much pleased with the way the county commissioners have Investigated Youngblood's death. So.‘far, so good, hut the matter should not stop here. It is true that Young- blood was a convict, serving time for taking the Ife of another and as a ward of the state he should have been properly and homanely cared for by the state regardless of whether he showed a disposition to work or not. ‘There was no evidence adduced so fat to show that the dead man was one of the ferocious sort, a bad man who at: tempted to harm either the guards or any of bis fellow convicts. The only crime which Youngblood committed while at the exmp was that he showed a disposition not to work and on maus occasions absolutely refused to do so But this should not be a crime pun ishable by death, even in a felony camy and If he sere whipped to death, every possible incans should be brought t bear to bring oct the facts’ and thos guilty of Causing his death dely pun ished. DEATH OF CONVICT RECEIVES INVESTIGATION « (Continued-from Page Gne)3° ‘that bis services were not needed. Ac cording to the testimeny of a convict the next mornihg,, the man Dr. ‘Love offered to aid was, Yogunghlood,; Af- ter. bearing from 9 tew “Hite -wtt wiésses the"Siliivestightioh, wha sad: Journed until Tuesday-noon at.,-the ee a NT camp. About, twenty convicts ‘were heard from and all the guards, the in- vestigation at.the camp closing about 9 o'Géck thenignt- |- The first witness.was. George Thamp- son, @ ten year epnvyscr, who stated that fhe dead mai was whipped thrée or four times evéry day he was at the camp'instead of the first. He also cor- roborated the statement of Byrd that the day before Youngblood’s death the gang was taken a new route, through the woods, so that the public might not see McRae beating Youngblood. He alsd’ sald Youngblood was beaten the afternoon hefore he died over in the bushes In the presence of three frus- ties. _ Bob Williams, a lifetime man safd Youngblood was whipped so often. he coundn’t count them. Charlle Grant, a Convict, sald the dead man was whip- ped five times the day he died. At this point Judge Cann, who was inter- rogating the witnesses for the com- missioners, and Attorney Wilson, rep- resenting the Negro Business League, had a yery spirited tilt, the latter ac- ‘ensing the former of putting leading questions to the witnesses. - The Judge ‘openly resented Attorney Wilson's ac- cusation and the latter strongly de- fended his position. After a few heat- ed remarks, the ineident. closed. Will Webb, a ‘convict, then took the stand and corroborated the testimony of the convicts who said Youngblood was severely whipped every day be was at the camp excepting the first. J. Washington and Lee Sparks, convicts testified practically to the samé effect as Webb. | Mr. Lehr, a city engineer, who was superintending* work fear the place where the ganz was working. said that he noticed no cruel treatment of the conricts by Warden McRae. Geo Robinson, “Red” a thirteen year convict, then took the stand. He said that he and Youngblood came to the, camp toxether, three other men coming out with them. He and Youngblood worked side by side and were chained up “tévether on the wayy to and from camp, He said that Youngblood was whipped every day he was at the camp, ssvept the first tay and Sunday. He aid that the day beforg Youngblood lied, the sang was brought back to ‘amp through the woods and thit on GE way Youngblood was whipped in- iumeralie times; that he (Younsbload) yay so weak from the mmerous whip ‘ngs thut be fell many times and that shen he attempted to asstss Youns- Nlood he was prevented from doing so y Warden MeRae. He also stated hat on another afternoon Dr, (P. E. rove who was driving gut the road, “opped his can and offered ta give ssistance to Youngblood who was be ng dragged along, but the guard stated hat there was nothing the matter with Youngblood. Fu. Robinson arid Keith Chisholm, ‘onvicts, cestlticd to Youngblool’s hay; ng been whipped several times dally. Wil Smith, a convict, who is night watchman iuside the steeping quarters, 1 man of about 49 years, safd that Youngbloud was whipped both night and morning for several days. He aid that he helped dress Youngblood the morning before he died as he was too weak to put ou hts clothes. He said that 3feRae whipped Youngblood while naked the‘last moramg and that he hastened to put the dead man’s clothes on to avoid his getting further ashing, He said je saw Youngblood hand cuffed and tied to the door of tie quarters aud whipped. | ‘Adam Jubuson, a trusty, said that Youngblood was whipped nearly every’ day he was at the camp. Te also, said) that be.saw him hand cuffed, tid to 2 door and whipped. He brought out the fact that on the day of Youns- plood’s death he and two other trus- ties carried Youngblood over into the bushes near where the gang was: work: Ing and there the deate man was tied, bucked and whipped. He said the whipping was so severe that he had to on bis back was being bruised by the Necks. Perris Bowen, a trusty, sald ho only saw Younghlood whipped once. Frank Taylor, a trusty, sald that Youngblood rane whipped three times daily and that Le xaw him being helped to ret dressed the last morning in camp. Bobby Dixon. another trusty and Joshua Tolland said that the dead man was only whipped once, Sherman Taylor, a five year convict, sald’ that Warden 3eRae was very jIentent with the men under bim and jthet Youngblood was onty whipped three times. He sald that the majority of men in the camp wanted to fet rid of Warden McRae because ha, would not let them gamble anid for that rea- son had said that they were golng to do, everything In thelr power to have him removed. 7 |_ Toney Wilson, serving life , for (haying inurdered bis wife, gave testt. | mony -pencttally to the same effect, 95 Taylor, He" repeated several, times {thrit-he had. hoped .of 1somb day’ being -parnioned.« , ~ . Henry Johnson, a lfe-timét, satd the dead man was whipped three or four times. : 2 At this point, thé guards were brouglit in singly, before the comms Stoners. ‘Che testimony, of_the guards with the exception o<.that given ‘by L. V. Davis, varied but itue. It was to the effect that they’ did not see Warden Meltae treat the men cruelly at avy time, and the most of them ‘stated that Youngblovd was only whip- Ped two or three times. None of the guards yet questioned remembered see- ing Mcltae carry Youngblood over in the woods the day he died for the pur- Pose pf whipping him, An interesting bit of testimony was that given by Guard Shans yyho stated that he had repaired recently the whipping strap which was broken. It was Stated by several of the convicts that the strap broke walle a whip ping was being administered to Young- bison | Superintendent ‘Twiggs of the com- | misstary department then took the stand, and stated that Warden 3McRae |was a very eictent guard and always {considerate in his’ aea:ment. When asked if he knew whether Youngblooa was hand cuffed, tied to the door and Whipped, he said that there fs no truth in the statement. He admitted, however that under previous wardens he had known this sort of pnoishmeiit to pé ndministered. Mr. Twiges said that it 4s abvolutely impossivie for Negro con viets to be truthful. | At this point in the tnvestigatiou, ‘it was thought that it was hardly nec- essary to hear from any more of the séards. However, upon the suggestion gf Judge Bacon, who was -presiding, it was deemed best to nave them all testify. Guard*L. V. Davis was ‘thea brought in, He caused a slight sen- sation when certain direct questions ax to MeRae’s treatment of Young- blood were put to him by Judge Cann. The witness after testifying that Youngblood hud been whippéd three or four times to his knowledgé\ gave testimony which was qirectly at vari-~ ance to that“giveu by the other guards. When he.\ras asked by Judge Cann whether MeRae had txen Youngblood in company with three trusties across the hI for the purpose of whipping him on the day of his death, he stood for at least u minute as if tranixed before he answered the question, He! said yes, and further vestitled that he had heard a voice as if coming from A man being whipped. He admitted that the only purpose for the warden carrying a man in the bushes was to whip him. Another question wlifch had a very significant bearing on Guard Davis! testimony was mat in reference to Youngblood’s physical condition the day he died and the day befora. He was asked by Judge Cann that if he were in McItae’s position would be have carried Youngblood ,to work on these two days. After fidgeting, twlst- ing for fully a minute und moving his hands and feet in:a manner which showed clearly his’ embarrassment, at belng asked this question, he askpd ‘the judge mot to make him answer such a hard question. The man was et-| dently much perturbed by the ques- tion and left the witness stand mi out making an answer. ; After hearing from two other gnards | whose testimony, in general, corres- ponded to ,that of the other guards with the exception of Davis, the hear- Ing closed. - At a meeting of the commissioners Wedneday Warden McRae was dis- missed for the good of the service. It is not known just what further steps will be taken in the matter but it 1s thought that McRae will be placed In jail for manslaughter. It 1s also stat- ed that a representatzve of the state prison commission will be here next week to investigate the death of Young- blood. NEWS FORM BRUNSWICK, GA. ; oaaamieaiaietl (by &.

The play wilf probably bo witnessed by a very large crowd, judg- ing from the large advance sale of tic- kets. ‘The rehearsals have shown the mem- vers of the cast to be well acquainted with their various parts, and Directors ‘iadsden and Tucker, the former being in charge of the music and the latter the dramatics, are well pleased with the degree of efficiency attained by the cast, many of the members being among the leading amateur performers in the city. The performance will begin at $:30 o'clock, and the price of admission will be 40 cents, reserved seats amd general admission 25 cents. We present below a synopsis of the play for the benefit of the large crowd that will attend the performance. _lamit has betrothed his- only child, the Princess “But Bul” to Prince Caspian and the prince ts on his way to attend the wedding. The couple have never met and the princess vainly implores her father not to make her marry a man she has never seen. ‘The, prince, on his side, is determined to ape his future wife before the betrothal ceremony. On reaching the outskirts of the city he disguises himself and his friends as peddlers, and thus clad they seck the palace. The prince en- wra the garden first and meets the maida of honor. After much persua- ston, he is allowed to seek the princess who is roaming disconsolately through tha woods. The prince peddler ‘speed- fly wins Bul Bors affection and en- @eavors to persuade her to five up Prince Chepian and elope with him In- stead, This the princess refuses to do. ‘They agree to meet once more in the pall room that evenig to say good-bye. Table to part with the man she loves But Bnt bides him behind 2 enrtain, Midding him trnst ber. Consternation reigns later ‘when the king and court learn that the prince and princess are both missing. <All are sti more horrified when But Bul en- | tern, the ball room, a long cloak over her gown and announces that she will not wed the prince, but instead, the man she loves, 2 peddler. ‘Throwing aside the eurfain, bebind which the yrinee is hidden, she exposes him to the fol view of the ting 2nd ecurt.

Pinkney, pastor, Thursday November 23, at 8:30 a.m. with Bishop R. J. Cooke, D. D., L. L. D., presiding. Half an hour daily was devoted to devotional exercise led by different ministers. The sacrament of the Lord's supper was administered by the Bishop, assisted by district superintendents. The roll call showed 65 present with the Rev. William Daniels E. M. Clayton, W. W. Clemmons, A. M H. Evans who were sick and Rev. R. S. Stacey, deceased. In the organization Rev. J. D. Jenkins was elected secretary-over M. M. Jefferson and C. W. Protho and named as assistants F. R. Bridges and C. W. Protho. Rev. W. A. Holmes was elected statistician. Rev. R. R. Oneal was elected treasurer. Rev. J. H. Pinckney was elected post master, Rev. J. D. Jenkins was elected reporter to the Southwestern and W. H. Odum to the Tribune of Savannah. The conference was welcomed on behalf of the white citizens by Col. Gwin, and was responded to by the Bishop. On behalf of the church by Miss Bessie Smith, response, Rev. W. A. Holmes of Statesboro, Ga. The district superintendents in their reports showed that the districts had had quite a success on all lines. The character of each pastor was examined and all reported, which reports showed a practical increase on all lines of church work. The Rev. J. H. Bankston, M. K. Farmer and W. B. Hester were ordained elders. W. R. Dixon, C. R. Robins, A. L. Smith and E. D. Crawford were admitted into full membership and ordained deacons. The following general officers were present and gave very instructive addresses on the various boards of the church: Dr. L. L. Thomas, Home Mission and Church Extentios; Dr. I. G. Penn, Freedmans aid; Dr. Powell, Conference Claimants; Dr P. N. C. Corgins, Temperance; Dr. Clark, Foreign Mission in India; Dr. Sherrall, Foreign Mission at large; Dr. Hartman, Sunday schools; Dr. H. A. King, Education; Dr. H. W. B. Wilson, A. M, Bible Soc. and the Southwestern paper. The business of the conference was dispatched with much intelligence by the all proficient Bishop and brethren of the conference. The Bishop preached at 11 o'clock Sunday morning to the delight of his hearers. He lifted them to the skies and held his audience spell bound. Prefacing the great sermon we had a great love feast, conducted by two veterans, J. D. Jenkins and W. C. Hunter, which prepared us for the sermon. Sunday was a day of feasting. After feasting on such powerful addresses and sermons and prayers, the appointments were read and the pastors returned to their several charges filled with new inspiration. Too much cannot be said of the Rev. J. H. Pinkney and his good people for the way they took care of the conference. It was said that never in the history of the Savannah conference were they better entertained. Among the many things that the Bishop said was for the Negro to remain in the South, and stay on the farms and buy lands, and raise our own food and stay out of the unsanitary cities; build more and better schools and keep our boys and girls in school and church, and live moral lifes and be total abstainers from intoxicants.
