Southern Indicator

The Southern Indicator INTERESTING WAY-SIDE NOTES BOSTON, MASS., APRIL 2, 1914. I left Saturday March 28th, 1914. Stopped in New York and Philadelphia. Reached Cambridge Mass., April 1st. In Philadelphia I stopped with that great preacher, leader and prince in Isreal, the Rev. A. R Robinson, D. D. March 20th I preached in Jenkins Town Pa., for a dear old friend, the Rev. Mr. J. C. Jackson, D. D., the pastor of one of the greatest churches in America, a congregation devoted to their pastor. Rev. Mr. Jackson has accomplished great things in Jenkins Town. Here I found myself among old friends. Mrs Jackson is very good and attentive to the South Carolina Boys, as is Mrs Robinson. Both Doctors Robinson and Jenkins are educating their children in the first schools. I met some of my best friends in Philadelphia. John Scott, the sainted Irishman, Mr. W. S. Law, President of the First National Bank, Mr. W. S. Pope, the head of the Pope and Patton wholesale Cheese Company, and Mr. Wm. Thompson, who was glad to see me as usual. In New York I called on Dr. J. R. Hillory, and although he was very busy, he took the time to go and secure me a lodging place. It cost me more to sleep in New York than to eat. One dollar a night to sleep, and meals elsewhere, on the European plan. I called for a few hours on Mr. Wilberton, who has been so kind to my family for, the last thirteen years, and assisted so largely in the educating of my children. Now I am in Boston stopping at the home of Mrs P. F. Brown, 27 Warwick St., and of S. J. Lee, 8 Worcester St., Cambridge Mass. I called on Dr, F. H. Rowley, President of the A. H. E. Society and alo the Mass., Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He was glad to see me as usual and invited me to go anywhere in the building I plead. it's President is one of the greatest and most humane men in the world. I was appointed some time ago as one of it's Southern representatives. Mrs George Angel, whose husband founded this society, heard that I was in town, and sent for me. She met me in Aiken S. C., some years ago. I am here to try to raise money to help pay off the debt of the Cambridge Baptist Church. The congregati n is scattered but the few who remain are loyal, and although it poured rain on the night of April 1st., the church was crowded with an appreciative audience. The Rev. Mr. Spurgeon Cory is pastor, assisted largely by S. J. Lee. His wife is the daughter of Lewis Frasier of Blackville S. C. Boston is a great city, the Athens of America. Here you can learn anything you want to know on earth. Here, the greatest Scientific Schools and Colleges are situated; here are the greatest seats of learning in the country. Cars run above the earth, on the ground, and under the earth. Those under the ground run at the rate of 40 to 50 miles an hour. In New York, I noted many changes. New York is the largest city of America, and the third largest of the world. It now boasts of buildings fifty stories high. Here you stand on Broadway, and in a little while you can see a representative of every nation on the Globe. Men and women are running to and fro, all hurry and scurry, chasing the almighty dollar. Richard Carroll. An Appreciative Letter. Greenwood, April, 7, 1914. Dear Editor:- In my mind the Southern Indicator is one of the best papers ever circulated in South Carolina. Many of the pleasant moments I spend in my home reading the southern Indicator, It is inspiring from every point of view and has much information that mothers and fathers are proud to have their children obtain. I only wish I could get The Southern Indicator daily. Being an old Columbian, I am COLUMBIA, S. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 11th, 1914 eager daily to see and learn that the Negges at the Capital City will never let the old flag trail the ground. May God smile on Prof. N. J. Frederick for striking this hall of information, and I am sure that under the captainship of the invincible Scott, that it will never touch the ground. Now I have, only one regret to express, that is; we have no correspondent, and canvasser, in Greenwood for, The Indicator. We are alive here and we want the world to know it. We have boys and girls here. I believe who would do a hustling business for The Indicator, providing Manager Morgan would come up and arouse interest. Let The Indicator come. God grant that in a near future, we can have it daily. When our subscription has expired, notify us and we will gladly respond to this stream of information and inspiration to our people. Yours for lifting as we climb. Rosa Long Gilliard. Greenwood, S. C. Box 64. We thank Mrs Gilliard for this newsy and commendatory letter. We are preparing to take up the matter of Greenwood at the earliest possible opportunity, and in the meantime will appreciate all that Mrs Gilliard can do in our behalf there. —Editor. FREE PUBLIC SCHOOL CONDITIONS FOR COLORED PEOPLE IN COLUMBIA. The agitation among the rank and file as well as the leaders of the colored people in Columbia to improve our school conditions, resulted some months ago in the appointment of a committee of representative men to prepare a memorial to present to the board of school commissioners. The memorial was prepared, submitted to a mass meeting held at Sidney Park church, and there then mostly opted. A committee was then selected to present the memorial to this board. After weeks of effort they succeeded in getting an opportunity, and on Wednesday night of last week appeared before the board and presented the memorial. Those appearing be fore the board were: Reverends N. C. Cleaves, J. J. Durham, C. C. Scott, Messrs Joseph Pelot, Issac S. Levy, N. H Collins, G. W. Pegues, N. S. Shelton. The memorial is a strong and convincing paper, and will doubtless have effect. The members of the school board who were present, some of them were absent, expressed themselves as being in sympathy with us, and is willing to do all that is possible for the colored people; but said they did not see their way clear to act just at present upon any of the requests made, but would consider them carefully and take action just as soon as possible. While there is a desire on the part of some persons to have the memorial published in The Southern Indicator, the memorial committee as well as The Indicator believes it is not expedient to do so; at any rate not expedient just now. The Indicator will keep it readers advised from time to time of what is being done in regard to the matter. Mrs. Ben. Williams' 82nd' Birthday. On Wednesday night, April 1st. a select number of friends gathered by invitation at the residence of Mrs Williams, widow of Mr, Ben Williams, to participate in the celebration of her 82nd birthday. They found her as active and vigorous and as conversational as ever. Her chief complaint was that little two months old Ben Williams Frederick could yell like a Comanche Indian and had the strength of Sampson and she couldn't manage him. Mrs Williams in her declining years receive all possible attention from her adopted children, Mr. and Mrs Joseph Frederick; and appears happy and contented. The evening entertainment closed with music followed by a prayer offered by Rev. C. C. Scott. UNDERTAKERS "APRIL FOOLLE" The first day of April called April Fools Day, from the old custom of sending any one on this day, on a bootless errand, is the day of days for folly and foolishness and mirth and meniment among people of nearly all nations. This strange custom exists throughout Europe and the United States. Away back in the Middle Ages, scenes of Biblical history were represented without any thought of sacreligiousness. The scene in the life of Jesus, where he is sent from Pilate to Herod and be again from Herod to Pilate, one among the representatives at that time. Even the Hindoos precisely simulated tifices were practiced at the 31st of March. Through land, Scotland, Germany, France and in the United States the custom of April fooling is Columbia had its share, and the one incident we return to here or a grave nature. The nephew of the phonetic and musicalian the end-brass singer Sheilam and his sister what was head in the park in the city, also to come quick. He added the two children on a tree Brother Shelton and, paran Nash, and Peter and John, both downstairs, and Brother Shelton, like Bess, got there first, to find himself. The Indicator, Main being, the job for news, started to view the remains of the deceased and prepare a writing, but being too slow, was left behind by these brethren who had espied Brother Hardy of the, get up and get there first, form of Hardy, Pinkney and Biggs, and had quickened their pace considerably. He stopped, Brother Hardy, and asked, What is the news? This good brother stopped and wiped the sweat from his brow and the tears from his nose and pantingly said, Ivy, just got back: it was an April Fool. long after missing some of the old reliable and ever ready firm of Ferguson and Morris, was seen seated in the buggy behind the "old gray" wet with sweat and with foam on the bit, slowly and meditatively returning from Ward One, where he had gone at the call on the phone, to come quick and get a dead man. He too nad been hoaxed. On our way back we found the grave digger in chief, seated in the office of one of these undertakers, looking like the chief mourner at his own funeral; he too it appears had been April fooled. And these three firms of undertakers at their respective places of business, picked up a copy of The Southern Indicator and read from it the following lines. "Alas! Alas! O'Lackaday! What three mocked fools these mortals be!" Speaking of Aprils Fool's Day, reminds us of an incident that happened some years ago. Old man Sizer kept a hotel in a little country town in Western North Carolina. He had a ne'er do well son named Dennis, who loafed around the hotel and rendered but little service. Dennis had a habit of looking over the shoulders of the guests while they sat at the desk writing their letters. One young fellow recently arrived and of a poetic frame of mind. while writing to his best girl, happened to feel some one brushing up behind him. He had heard of Dennis' propensity, and without apparent stop or hesitancy continued his writing and penned these lines: "I've seen some men who were very wise. very wise; And then again some wiser; But the biggest fool I've ever seen His name is Dennis Sizer." Dennis moved away and annoyed him never again. THE DEATH OF EDGAR MILLER On Tuesday March 31, Mr. Nash Miller was summond to Spartanburg by telegram to his cousin a life time friend and associate, Mr. Edgar Miller, to find that he was dead when he reached there. Edger Miller was splended fellow. Converted when not yet fully grown during the pastorate of Dr. Scott at Sumter S. C., he became a useful member of the church and Sunday school. He left Sumter to enter Claflin University where he arose to distinction, becoming one of the leading members of the band of fingers sent out by Claflin University. Dr. Henry C. Hardy his friend and classmate being also a member. They both had exceptionally fine voices. After graduating at Claflin he completed a course in dentistry at Charry, and while there became identified with church work and the Y. M. C. A. work. After his graduation he married Estimable young lady and owed a dental parlor in Jackson, but subsequently returned to native state, and at the time his recent illness, was in Spartanburg. His life was of short duration. His friends Dr. and Mrs Hardy, whose home he became sick, allowed him every possible attention. His friend and cousin, Mr. Nash Miller also rendered impossible assistance after his arrival. Dr. Miller's Tennessee friends showed marked attention to their departed friend and his window. The funeral arrangements were perfect. He was buried in Spartanburg, the funeral services being conducted by G. W. Cooper, pastor of Silver Hill church, assisted by the restors of Spartanburg. Earth is harder and raven made riches until death of our estimable young friend, Edgar Miller. THE NEWS FROM GREENVILLE Greenville, Mar. 8.—Prof A.P.

FREE PUBLIC SCHOOL CONDITIONS FOR COLORED PEOPLE IN COLUMBIA. The agitation among the rank and file as well as the leaders of the colored people in Columbia to improve our school conditions, resulted some months ago in the appointment of a committee of representative men to prepare a memorial to present to the board of school commissioners. The memorial was prepared, submitted to a mass meeting held at Sidney Park church, and there then, mostly, opted to present the memorial to this board. After weeks of effort they succeeded in getting an opportunity, and on Wednesday night of last week appeared before the board and presented the memorial. Those appearing before the board were: Reverends N. C. Cleaves, J. J. Durham. C. C. Scott, Messrs Joseph Pelot, Issac S. Levy, N. H Collins, G. W. Pegues, N. S. Shelton. The memorial is a strong and convincing paper, and will doubtless have effect. The members of the school board who were present, some of them were absent, expressed themselves as being in sympathy with us, and is willing to do all that is possible for the colored people; but said they did not see their way clear to act just at present upon any of the requests made, but would consider them carefully and take action just as soon as possible. While there is a desire on the part of some persons to have the memorial published in The Southern Indicator, the memorial committee as well as The Indicator believes it is not expedient to do; at any rate not expedient just now. The Indicator will keep its readers advised from time to time of what is being done in regard to the matter. Mrs. Ben. Williams' 82nd' Birthday. On Wednesday night, April 1st, a select number of friends gathered by invitation at the residence of Mrs Williams, widow of Mr, Ben Williams, to participate in the celebration of her 82nd birthday.

Her chief complaint was that little two months old Ben Williams Frederick could yell like a Comanche Indian and had the strength of Sampson and she couldn't manage him. Mrs Williams in her declining years receive all possible attention from her adopted children, Mr. and Mrs Joseph Frederick; and appears happy and contented. The evening entertainment closed with music followed by a prayer offered by Rev. C. C. Scott. UNDERTAKERS "APRIL COOLED" The first day of April saw April Fools Day, from the custom of sending anyone on this day, on a bootless errand, on the day ofays for folly and foolishness and mirth and misdeed, among people of nearly all martyrs. This strange custom exists throughout Europe and the United States. Away from in the Middle Ages, records of Bible history were presented without any thought of sacreligiousness. The scene in the life of Jesus, where he lay away from Pilate to Herod and then again from Herod to Pilate, one among the representatives at that time. Even the Hindos precisely simulated the 31st of March. Throughout land, Scotland, Newfoundland, France and in the country, the custom of April Fools greatly in vogue. Gabriel had its way and once upon a moment we recalled the history of the Jews. The custom of the Jewish community was held in Jerusalem city, where the Jewish people were edged with roses and then burned Brother David and the Neighbors. Peter and John, downhill from the city, saw that Brother David like Jesus, was being too slow, was too blind, by these brethren who had tasted Brother Hardy of the sweet hip and saw there first the form of Hardy, thenney and Biggard, and had quenched their pace, consider once He stopped Brother Hardy, asked, "What is the reason for good brother stopping and wiped the sweat from of his nose and the tears from his nose and pantingly said, 'lye, you go back; it was an April fool.'" of the old reliable and ever ready firm of Ferguson and Morris, was seen seated in the buggy behind the "old gray" wet with sweat and with foam on the bit, slowly and meditatively returning from Ward One, where he had gone at the call on the phone, to come quick and get a dead man. He too had been hoaxed. On our way back we found the grave digger in chief, seated in the office of one of these undertakers, looking like the chief mourner at his own funeral; he too it appears had been April fooled. And these three firms of undertakers at their respective places of business, picked up a copy of The Southern Indicator and read from it the following lines. "Alas! Alas! O'Lackaday! What three mocked fools these mortals be!" Speaking of Aprils Fool's Day, reminds us of an incident that happened some years ago. Old man Sizer kept a hotel in a little country town in Western North Carolina. He had a ne'er do well son named Dennis, who loafed around the hotel and rendered but little service. Dennis had a habit of looking over the shoulders of the guests while they sat at the desk writing their letters. One young fellow recently arrived and of a poetic frame of mind, while writing to his best girl, happened to feel some one brushing up behind him. He had heard of Dennis' propensity, and without apparent stop or hesitancy continued his writing and penned these lines: very wise, And then again some wiser; Butthe biggest fool I've ever seen His name is Dennis Sizer." Dennis moved away and annoyed him never again.

Many of the pleasant moments I spend in my home reading the southern Indicator. It is inspiring from every point of view and has much information that mothers and fathers are proud to have their children obtain. I only wish I could get The Southern Indicator daily. Being an old Columbian, I am eager daily to see that we make the Negas at the Capital City will never let the old day take the ground. May God smile on us N. J. Frederick for striking the hall of information and I am sure that under the relationship of the invincible Scotts that we will never touch the ground now I have only one regret to express that as we have no correspondent, and canvassers in Greenwood for, The Indicator We are alive here and we want the world to know us. We have boys and girls here. They who would do a helping business for The Indicator providing Manager Morgan would come up and arouse interest. Let The Indicator come.

FREE PUBLIC SCHOOL CONDITIONS FOR COLORED PEOPLE IN COLUMBIA. The agitation among the ranks and file as well as the leaders of the colored people in Columbia to improve our school conditions, resulted some months ago in the appointment of a committee of representative men to prepare a memorial to present to the board of school commissioners. The memorial was prepared, submitted to a mass meeting held at Stinney Parl. church, and then opted A committee was then selected to present the memorial to this board. After weeks of effort they succeeded in getting an opportunity, and on Wednesday night of last week appeared before the board and presented the memorial. Those appearing before the board were: Reverends N. C. Cleaves, J. J. Durham, C. C. Scott, Messrs Joseph Pelot, Issac S. Levy, N. H Collins, G. W. Pegues, N. S. Shelton. The memorial is a strong and convincing paper, and will doubtless have effect. The members of the school board who were present, some of them were absent, expressed themselves as being in sympathy with us, and is willing to do all that is possible for the colored people; but said they did not see their way clear to act just at present upon any of the requests made, but would consider them carefully and take action just as soon as possible. While there is a desire on the part of some persons to have the memorial published ir. The Southern Indicator, the memorial committee as well as The Indicator believes it is not expedient to do; at any rate not expedient just now. The Indicator will keep its readers advised from time to time of what is being done in regard to the matter. Mrs. Ben. Williams' 82nd' Birthday. On Wednesday night, April 1st, a select number of friends gathered by invitation at the residence of Mrs Williams, widow of Mr. Ben Williams, to participate in the celebration of her 82nd birthday. They found her as active and vigorous and as conversational as ever. Her chief complaint was that little two months old Ben Williams Frederick could yell like a Comanche Indian and had the strength of Sampson and she couldn't manage him. Mrs Williams in her declining years receive all possible attention from her adopted children, Mr. and Mrs Joseph Frederick; and appears happy and contented.

He too had been hoaxed. On our way back we found the grave digger in chief, seated in the office of one of these undertakers, looking like the chief mourner at his own funeral; he too it appears had been April fooled. And these three firms of undertakers at their respective places of business, picked up a copy of The Southern Indicator and read from it the following lines. "Alas! Alas! O Lackaday! What three mocked fools these mortals be!" Speaking of Aprils Fool's Day, reminds us of an incident that happened some years ago. Old man Sizer kept a hotel in a little country town in Western North Carolina. He had a ne'er do well son named Dennis, who loafed around the hotel and rendered but little service. Dennis had a habit of looking over the shoulders of the guests while they sat at the desk writing their letters. One young fellow recently arrived and of a poetic frame of mind, while writing to his best girl, happened to feel some one brushing up behind him. He had heard of Dennis' propensity, and without apparent stop or hesitancy continued his writing and penned these lines: "I've seen some men who were And then again some wiser; But the biggest fool I've ever THE DEATH OF EDGAR MILLER On Tuesday March 31, Mr. Nash Miller was summond to Spartanburg by telegram to his cousin a life time friend and associate, Mr. Edgar Miller, to find that he was dead when he reached there.

Birmingham, Ala.—Oscar W. Under- wood triumphed over Richmond P. ‘Hobson in the contest before Demo- ‘eratic primaries throughout the state Yor the nomination to the United ‘States senate. Owing, toge com- plexity and length of the baflots com- plete returns were slow in coming in. The protracted struggle for the nom- §nation between the two distinguished ‘candidates terminated with a record- breaking vote by Alabama Democrats. Interest in the contest for the short term in the United States senate, the nomination of ten congressmen, a gov- ernor and other state and county off- cers also brought thousands to the polls. Mobile, Ala.—Mobile and south Ala- bama polled the heaviest vote in years. ‘The total in Mobite county will reach 6,000. Underwood swept south Ala- bama. Comer, for governor, led Kotb in the country precincts, but Kolb took a wide lead in the city. Henderson and Seed were not in the running here. Mr. Underwood made the following statement: “I am thoroughly satisfied with the primary election. Tho splendid ma. jority given me in the state I attrib- ute to the magnificent work that my friends have done for me in my ab- sence. The result I feel is a personal vindication and a distinct approval of my remaining in Washington and at: tending to my official duties.

They hope to be able at that time to demonstrate how easily and quickly the reserve sys- tem will take care of a situation which in previous years has caused financial worry, and which last fall led to di- rect loans from the United Staes treasury to national banks in the farm- ing regions. Under the new law the several steps to be taken by the banks might be de layed so that there would be little chance of setting the reserve banks up before autumn, but if the banks respond promptly there is little rea. son to believe that the organization will be deferred mach longer. “Mr. K.

UNDERWOOD WINS TOGA IN ALABAMA DEMOCRATIC HOUSE LEADER IS NAMED SENATOR FROM STATE OF ALABAMA. A HEAVY VOTE WAS CAST Ticket Was Very Long, and Count Was Necessarily Slow in All Precincts. Birmingham, Ala.—Oscar W. Underwood triumphed over Richmond P. Hobson in the contest before Democratic primaries throughout the state for the nomination to the United States senate. Owing to the complexity and length of the ballots complete returns were slow in coming in. The protracted struggle for the nomination between the two distinguished candidates terminated with a record-breaking vote by Alabama Democrats. Interest in the contest for the short term in the United States senate, the nomination of ten congressmen, a governor and other state and county officers also brought thousands to the polls. Mobile. Ala.—Mobile and south Alabama polled the heaviest vote in years. The total in Mobile county will reach 6,000. Underwood swept south Alabama. Comer, for governor, led Kolb in the country precincts, but Kolb took a wide lead in the city. Henderson and Seed were not in the running here. Mr. Underwood made the following statement: "I am thoroughly satisfied with the primary election. The splendid majority given me in the state I attribute to the magnificent work that my friends have done for me in my absence. The result I feel is a personal vindication and a distinct approval of my remaining in Washington and attending to my official duties. But after all is said, the final conclusion must be that it is more of a victory for fundamental Democratic principles than for myself." BANKS ARE ASKED TO ACT Every Effort Will Be Made to Expedite New System. Washington.-Every effort will be exerted by the federal reserve bank organization committee to have all banks expedite the formal steps necessary to put the new currency system. A member of the committee, apparentlv no expectation that there will be any financial crisis to face requiring the assistance to banks which the reserve system will provide, but they are particularly anxious to have the twelve reserve banks in the field when crop moving time comes around next fall. They hope to be able at that time to demonstrate how easily and quickly the reserve system will take care of a situation which in previous years has caused financial worry, and which last fall led to direct loans from the United States treasury to national banks in the farming regions. Under the new law the several steps to be taken by the banks might be delayed so that there would be little chance of setting the reserve banks up before autumn, but if the banks respond promptly there is little reason to believe that the organization will be deferred much longer. "Mr. K. F. Shah" Representing China Washington—"Mr. K. F. Shah," as the new Chinese minister, prefers to register himself in token of China's acceptance of American ideas, arrived in Washington from New York, with nineteen of his suite. In the usual course the state department will be advised in a day or two of the arrival of the minister and the president will designate some afternoon when the newcomer will be receive dat the white house. One of the first matters that will claim the minister's attention is a report of the American engineer, C. D. Jameson, upon the great reclamation project alnog the Huai river. This involves the raising of a loan of $20,000,000 in this country and in arranging for this transaction Minister Shah will have the benefit of the active support of the American Red Cross Aviation Fatal to 38 in Three Months. Washington.—Death levied a heavy toll on aviators for the first three months of this year. Between January 1 and April 1 thirty-eight men lost their lives through the uncertainty of air currents or the failure of their flying machines. The United States, with five killed, stands fourth on the list, which France heads with ten dead. France has more aviators than any nation in the world. Germany lost eight, Great Britain seven. Turkey lost three and Chile, Spain, Argentina, Switzerland, and Italy one each. Wilson's Views on Justice. Washington.—President Wilson announced the principle that is guiding him in the selection of public servants. He said he did not believe in choosing men who would decide questions in a certain way, but would select those whom he knew to be just and fair. The president remarked that to him it seemed justice was the hardest thing in the world to obtain and that it required more courage than any other one thing. Mr. Wilson was discussing his appointment of Prof. Winthrop M. Daniels. K. Mr. Lansing has been appointed by President Wilson to succeed John Bassett Moore as counselor for the department of state. His home is at Watertown, N. Y. FIGHT TO SECURE BANKS DECISION OF COMMITTEE CAN BE REVERSED ONLY BY THE RESERVE BOARD. Federal Reserve Board Cannot Be Expected to Reverse Itself, However. Where Banks Will Be Located. Washington.—The cities selected for regional banks are: Boston New York Philadelphia Cleveland Richmond Atlanta Chicago St. Louis Minneapolis Kansas City Dallas, Tex. San Francisco. Washington. There was every indication that the announcement of the reserve districts and cities by the reserve bank organization committee had given the signal for a determined struggle upon the part of several cities which were disappointed to overturn the committee on the decision and bring about a redistricting of the country, or at least a change in the reserve cities named. Under the law the decision of the organization committee is not subject to review except by the federal reserve board. This board probably will not be named by President Wilson for several weeks, but in the meantime it is believed that those disappointed with the committee's announcement will bend every effort toward paving the way for changes. It was pointed out that both Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Comptroller of the Currency Williams of the organization committee, are ex-officio members of the reserve board, and hardly could be counted upon to reverse themselves. The president has given no intimation as to whom the other five members will be. REBELS TO ATTACK TAMPICO Admiral Fletcher Predicts Federals Will Abandon Gulf Port. Washington.—Following closely on official advices from George C. Carothers, American consular agent at Torreon, of the flight of the federal troops from that city, came a prediction from Rear Admiral Fletcher that the important gulf port of Tampico probably would be abandoned by the federals without a fight. Administration officials made no comment on the Torreon result and official sentiment is not likely to crystallize until more is known of the battle itself and its effects in Mexico City and elsewhere. Mr. Carothers' report of the fall of Torreon lacked detail, particularly with reference to losses sustained on both sides and the movements of the retreating federals. Gunmen to Be Given Repriever Albany, N. Y.—Unless Governor Glynn changes his mind, a reprieve for the four New York gunmen, under sentence to die in Sing Sing during the week beginning April 13, will be granted. If granted, the stay of execution will be until after the second trial of Charles Becker, who, with the gunmen, was found guilty of the murder of Herman Rosenthal. District Attorney Whitman has said he intends to try Becker a second time as soon as possible, but it will be from three to six months hence. Monroe Doctrine Not Obsolete. Philadelphia.—The principle of the Monroe doctrine is just as alive now as it ever was and President Monroe's declaration is not an "obsolete shibboleth," according to statement at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. Speakers with few exceptions were in agreement upon the general principle of the doctrine. Rear Admiral Chester urged a concert of action among American republics in a policy of "America for the Americans." THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR. COLUMBIA. S. C. ORDER PROHIBITION IN THE U.S. NAVY SECRETARY DANIELS ISSUES A RULE TO BAR LIQUOR FROM EVERY SHIP. ORDER EFFECTIVE JULY 1 A Clear Head and a Steady Hand Is Needed, Says the Secretary of the Navy. Washington.—Absolute prohibition will prevail in the United States navy after July 1 next. Secretary Daniels made public a sweeping order, which not only will abolish the traditional "wine mess" of the officers, but will bar all alcoholic liquors from every ship and shore station of the navy. This order, constituting one of the most notable victories ever won by prohibition forces, was issued on the recommendation of Surgeon General Braister. "The use of introduction for drinking purposes of alcoholic liquor on board any naval vessel, or within any navy yard, or station, is strictly prohibited, and commanding officers will be held directly responsible for the enforcement of this order." In a statement Secretary Daniels said: "I am in hearty agreement with the views expressed by the surgeon general. There should not be on shipboard with reference to intoxicants, one rule for officers and another and a different rule for the enlisted personnel. The saddest hour in my official life is when an officer or enlisted man must be punished for intoxication. During the past week it has been my painful duty to approve a courtmartial for dismissal from the service of an officer for intoxication. He told me that he never had tasted intoxicants until he did so in the wine mess on the cruise. Others who have been disciplined for drinking to excess have made several statements to me. "Officers now are commissioned at the early age of 22 years. Has the government a right to permit this temptation, which too often destroys the highest usefulness of young officers? I think not. If there is one profession more than any other that calls for a clear head and a steady hand, it is the naval profession. MAN SLAIN WITH AN AS P. O. Bonnell Murdered in Sleep at Milledgeville, Georgia. Hawkinsville, Ga.—Paul O. Bonnell, 22 years old, was killed here as he lay in bed sleeping. An ax, apparently, was used in the murder. Harry Lee, nephew of the dead man and who roomed with him, is being held by the police pending an investigation. Lee is 18 years old. The youth denies any connection with the killing and claims it was done by a negro. He claims he was awakened by the noise made by the negro in time to see him escaping from the room. Bonnell is survived by a wife, now living in Florida. Lee, who roomed with Bonnell in his place of business, ran out of the store at one o'clock in the morning and gave the alarm. He declared that his uncle had just been killed by someone who used an ax. He says that both were in bed at the time and that he was not asleep, that he heard someone in the store and, looking up, saw the party, whom he did not recognize, with a large ax raised, and that the murderer dealt the death blow before he could anything, and escaped. Boy Killed by Mule's Kick. Atlanta.—Theodore Ford, the four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Ford, was kicked to death near their home on Flat Shoals road, where Mr. Ford conduct a farm and dairy. The child had gone into the field with its mother and approached the mule, when the mother's attention was directed to other things. The animal turned suddenly and kicked the child several times, which resulted in crushing his skull. He was rushed to the Grady hospital, but died. The body was removed to Bloomfield's chapel and funeral arrangements will be completed later. The body was removed to Bloomfield's chapel Fleas Cause the Plague. New Orleans.-Fleas carried in sacks of sugar and not rats are responsible for the recently reported cases of bubonic plague at Havana, Cuba, according to Surgeon John Guiteras, director of sanitation for the republic of Cuba, in a letter to Dr. Oscar Dowling of the Louisiana state board of health. Surgeon Guiteras states in his letter that he conducted more than twenty-five hundred laboratory experiments with rates, for the purpose of determining the manner in which bubonic plague germs carried. Many Spaniards Deported. Torreon, Mexico—Gen. Francisco Villa ordered that the 600 Spaniards of Torreon be deported. He issued instructions that trains be provided immediately and that the exodus to El Paso, Texas should begin at once. Their property will be temporarily confiscated. It is the tragedy of Chihuahua over again, and is said to express the deep-rooted suspicion and even hatred with which the native Mexican and particularly the peon looks on the Spaniard. DANIEL F. MOONEY BENEFICIO DE LA COMUNIDAD Daniel F. Mooney, St. Marys, O has been appointed United States mri later to Paraguay. He is the first resident diplomatic representative accredited to that country since 1870, when the diplomatic posts of Uruguay and Paraguay were combined.

Washington. - The administration bill to repeal tolls exemption for all American coastwise ships in the Pan- ama canal, which passed the house amid spectacular scenes reached the senate and was referred promptly to the committee on inter-oceanic canals without debate. Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the canals committee, who is marshaling the anti-administration forces, announced definitely that he would call a meeting of the committee for next Tuesday. Until that time, no formal consideration of the repeal measure or proposed amendments can develop. Although friends of the president had hoped to have the canals committee meet earlier, they decided to make no effort to induce Senator O'Gorman to change his plans. They will insist, however, upon action within reasonable time after the committee gets down to work. NEW CHIEF OF. U. S. ARMY Wotherspoon Appointed Chief of Staff Succeeding General Wood.

General Wood will assume command of the Eastern department, with headquarters at Governor's Island, New York. The appointment of General Wotherspoon to be chief of staff had been expected, as it was in accordance with the practice of promoting the assistant chief of staff to the first place.

Caughman, as assistant surgeons, and the hospital corps to be attached to his treatment will be organized and trained by them. Columbia being the headquarters of the field hospital, which is attached to the entire milieu of the state and is a separate organization, the regimental detachment that is being organized will be trained In connection with Maj. Poore's command and this combination, while relieving the individual medical officers of much work, will create a friendly rivalry between the organizations, and at the same time will place the members in closer personal relations when on duty during the encampments. The duty of these hospital corps are not confined to the actual treatment of cases of illness in the camps, but they are theoretically trained in all the necessary hygienic measures to be adopted in the camps and by the men for their personal protection, and they are charged with the duty of seeing that such precautionary measures are carried out while on field duty. Certain members of the hospital corps, being specially qualified for this duty, are charged with observing and instructing the men in camp in the proper care of their persons and clothing, while others are in charge of the conditions surrounding the preparation and protection of the foods in the kitchens, and any breach of the rules laid down regarding the sanitary conditions are immediately reported and severe punishment meted out. Four Companies Divide Business. Meeting a few days ago at the state house, the sinking fund commission awarded contracts for the reinsurance of 60 per cent of the buildings owned by South Carolina. More than a score of blds were received by the commission. Following are the successful companies: Fireman's of Newark, New Jersey. Southern States Fire Insurance Company of Greensboro, N. C. Southern Underwriters of Greensboro, N. C. Underwriters' Insurance Company of Greensboro, N. C. According to D. H. Means, chief clerk of the commission, the joint bid of these companies, which was submitted by C. E. Mehane of Greensboro, N. C., was 30 per cent off the regular premium. Gets Verdict of $7,000. A verdict of $7,000 wan given recently in the court of common pleas in the case of Maggie E. Kelly, as administratrix of the estate of Robert L. Kelly, deceased, against the Columbia Railway, Gas and Electric Co. The case arose out of the death of Robert L. Kelly on the night of December 10, 1912. The complaint alleged that the street car was moving at a rapid speed, without adequate lights and without giving proper alarm of its approach. The complaint asked for damages amounting to $25,000. City Pays for Hydrants. J. A. Summorsett appeared before city council at its special session recently and asked that the city defray the expense of placing new fire hydrants within the inclosure of the state hospital for the insane and of repairing all the old fire plugs. After discussing the matter, council decided that it could not pay for such work and the resolution by Councilman Stieglitz ordering the town to pay the necessary expenses, was adopted. Canning Club Directress Busy. Miss Dorothy Napier, directress of the girls' canning clubs in Richland county, working under the direction of the United States department of agriculture, Winthrop College and the Columbia chamber of commerce, has been at her desk in the office of the chamber about a month and a half. During this time she has covered the county, enrolled 112 girls in 11 clubs, and Richland now has more ambitious girls in her canning clubs than any other county in the state. Several new clubs have been organized. Hearing on Freight Rates. Hearing on the petition for a readjustment of freight rates in South Carolina will be held before the railroad commission April 15. The petition was filed by members of the South Carolina Freight Rate Association. On the same date a hearing will be held before the commission on the question of starch rates from Charleston. The shippers hold that when starch is delivered at Charleston by the steamship lines and reloaded on freight cars the intrastate freight rate should apply.

In an Effort to Bring Wife's Troubles to End, and Finally Succeeds. Myra, Ky.—Mrs. Sarah Branham, of this town, gives out the following statement for publication: "I am 37 years of age, and suffered untold agony with womanly troubles for 11 years. For 7 years, I was all run down, and was told that I could not live. My husband spent everything he had, but I got only temporary relief. A merchant recommended Cardul, the woman's tonic, to my husband, and he got me 5 bottles at one time. I began taking it, and before the first bottle was gone, I began to feel better. I took all of the 5 bottles, and I am today as sound and as any woman, and fat and he Such testimony as the above, which is given unsolicited, speaks for itself.

A lady in a small Alabama town had occasion to call at the cabin of her washerwoman, Aunt Betsy. While waiting for the article she sought to be found she observed a woolly head which appeared from under the edge of the bed and asked: "Is that one of your children, Aunt Betsy?" "Deed an' tis, honey," was the reply. "What is its name?" "Dat chile ain't got no name yet, Miss Rosa," Aunt Betsy said. "Why, it must be five or six years old.

THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR, COLUMBIA, S. C. HIS BIRTH A CATASTROPHE Wealthy Young Man Who Fall In Love With More Working Girl Is Given Stinging Rebuke. The wealthy young man from the East end became smitten with a mere working girl, as the tale is told. In the enthusiasm of the moment he proposed to merry her. But to his intense surprise she refused him. He thought that she might be awed by his position and address and worldly possessions; so he talked human brotherhood and equality and modern democracy. "I see," he said. "You refuse me because I am rich and you are poor—because I have birth and position, while your ancestry is doubtful. That idea is un-American. We are all alike in this country. The fact that I drive a car while you sing hash mean nothing—my position is a more accident of birth." "It's more th'n an accident," she demurred. "What is?" he demanded. "Your birth.

The Evangel of Easter By Rev. PARLEY E. ZARTMANN, D. D. Secretary of Extension Department Moody Bible Institute, Chicago PEXT—But they constrained him, say- ing, Ablide with us; for it is toward even- ing, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. Luko 24:20. PETER M. What a great and gracious gospel is proclaimed and made possible by the central fact of Easter; for without the resurrection o f Jesus Christ from the dead there is no evangel for the minister to preach and no gospel to save those who might believe — no salvation from sin, no sun to drive away dark ness and despair, no hope of heaven. Paul lays great emphasis upon these vital things in I Corinthians 15:12-19. It is significant that after his resurrection, Jesus appeared only to 'a disciples; and of these, first to t. who needed him most. There is deep meaning in the very order of the recorded appearances after his resurrection. First, to Mary, probably the most heart-broken of all the little band; then to Peter, who had denied him, and since then had been weeping bitter tears of repentance; then to the two sad and weary ones on the way to Emmaus who were saying, "We trusted it had been he who should have redeemed Israel." On the Emmaus Road. On the Emmaus Road. Let us consider this story of the first Easter Sunday evening. There is a peculiar charm in it, and the very simplicity wins our hearts. How realistic it is, how true to life, how pathetic in its exhibition of mutual sorrow and the concern of a friend who knows all about us, though we may not know who he is; how encouraging to hearts despondent and sad. One can pict re the scene, without difficulty. It had been a day of great excitement in Jerusalem; there were many conflicting reports about Jesus, who had been away in the tomb, a few days before; some gave account of strange things they had seen and heard, but grave doubt still possessed many of the disciples; and now these two are on their homeward way, sorrowful as they go, under the shadow of a great perplexing mystery. Perhaps light and comfort will come in the quiet and rest of home. As they journeyed a stranger joined them, inquiring the cause of their sorrow, and learning what he knew, their perplexity about what had happened that day. It was not strange that they did not know him. To Abraham he came as a wayfaring man, to Joshua as a soldier, to Jacob as a wrestler, to Mary as a gardener; besides their eyes were holden. But, meeting their perplexity and doubt, with a precious unfolding of the Scriptures, "beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself." Four blessings came to these sorrowing travelers from their unknown companion—their minds were opened, their hearts burned within them, their eyes were opened, and he revealed himself as set forth in all the Scriptures. The Gracious Revelation. "And he made as though he would have gone further. But they constrained him . . . and he went in to tarry with them." That is one of the sweetest touches in the story. But what a calamity if they had let this unknown companion go on his way—no gracious revelation of the very Christ on whom their hopes had been set. And your calamity will be great if you do not constrain the tarrying Jesus to come in and abide with you. Oh, bid the dear Savior come in. Can burning hearts keep back the message? These disciples were filled with joy. Possibly they did not wait to finish the meal, for they rose up that same hour, hastening to Jerusalem to tell the glad story about the risen Lord who had considered it worth while to take time on the first day of his resurrection to walk seven miles into the country* with two sorrow-stricken disciples. And this Christ with the tender heart is with us yet. The evangel of Easter is the glad news of a Savior, who by his resurrection from dead, has power to raise our souls from death. As you accept Christ, the very omnipotence of God will work within you, and your faith will secure for you in your daily life a share in the resurrection of Christ. (Eph. 1:19, 20). May this beautiful Easter story repeat itself in your life. May you have Christ as your companion, your teacher, your friend, your guest; and all that, and more, he will be after he has become your Savior. Sorrowing, sinning soul, he may be meeting you on the way just now; perhaps just at the parting of the ways; do not let him go on, but do say: "I need thy presence every passing hour; What but thy grace can foll the temper's power?" Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud, and sunshine, O, ablde with me." 5 ALCOHOL-3 PER CENT Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS.

HAIR CAME OUT IN BUNCHES Route No. 3, Box 20A, Broken Arrow, Okla.—"My trouble began with an itching of the scalp of my head. My scalp at first became covered with flakes of dandruff which caused me to scratch and this caused a breaking out here and there on the scalp. It became so irritated until I could not rest at night and my hair would come out in bunches and became short and rough. "Everything I used would cause it to grow worse and it continued that way for about three or four years. While reading the paper I saw the advertisement of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a sample. It proved so good that I decided to get some more.

THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR, COLUMBIA, S. C. Wealthy Young Man Who Fell In Love With Mere Working Girl's Giver Stinging Rebuke. The wealthy young man from the East end became smitten with a mere working girl, as the tale is told. In the enthusiasm of the moment he proposed to marry her. But to his intense surprise she refused him. He thought that she might be awed by his position and address and worldly posessions; so he talked human brotherhood and equality and modern democracy. "I say," he said. "You refuse me because I am rich and you are poor—because I have birth and position, while your ancestry is doubtful. That idea is un-American. We are all alike in this country. The fact that I drive a car while you sling hash mean nothing—my position is a mere accident of birth." "It's more th'n an accident," she demurred. "What is?" he demanded. What is it no damned.

The Evangel of Easter By Rev. PARLEY E. ZARTMANN, D. D. Secretary of Extension Department Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT-But they constrained him, say- ing, Abide with us; for it is toward even- ing, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. Luke 24:23. PETER B. What a great and gracious gospel is proclaimed and made possible by the central fact of Easter; for without the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead there is no evangel for the minister to preach and no gospel to save those who might believe — no salvation from sin, no sun to drive away darkness and despair, no hope of heaven. Paul lays great emphasis upon these vital things in I Corinthians 15:12-19. It is significant that after his resurrection, Jesus appeared only to the disciples; and of these, first to the who needed him most. There is deep meaning in the very order of the recorded appearances after his resurrection. First, to Mary, probably the most heart-broken of all the little band; then to Peter, who had denied him, and since then had been weeping bitter tears of repentance; then to the two sad and weary ones on the way to Emmaus who were saying, "We trusted it had been he who should have redeemed Israel." On the Emmaus Road. Let us consider this story of the first Easter Sunday evening. There is a peculiar charm in it, and the very simplicity wins our hearts. How realistic it is, how true to life, how pathetic in its exhibition of mutual sorrow and the concern of a friend who knows all about us, though we may not know who he is; how encouraging to hearts despondent and sad. One can pict re the scene, without difficul- ty. It had been a day of great excitement in Jerusalem; there were many conflicting reports about Jesus, who had been away in the tomb, a few days before; some gave account of strange things they had seen and heard, but grave doubt still possessed many of the disciples; and now these two are on their homeward way, sorrowful as they go, under the shadow of a great perplexing mystery. Perhaps light and comfort will come in the quiet and rest of home. As they journeyed a stranger joined them, inquiring the cause of their sorrow, and learning what he knew, their perplexity about what had happened that day. It was not strange that they did not know him. To Abraham he came as a wayfaring man, to Joshua as a soldier, to Jacob as a wrestler, to Mary as a gardener; besides their eyes were holden. But, meeting their perplexity and doubt, with a precious unfolding of the Scriptures, "beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself." Four blessings came to these sorrowing travelers from their unknown companion—their minds were opened, their hearts burned within them, their eyes were opened, and he revealed himself as set forth in all the Scriptures. The Gracious Revelation. "And he made as though he would have gone further. But they constrained him . . . and he went in to tarry with them." That is one of the sweetest touches in the story. But what a calamity if they had let this unknown companion go on his way—no gracious revelation of the very Christ on whom their hopes had been set. And your calamity will be great if you do not constrain the tarrying Jesus to come in and abide with you. Oh, bid the dear Saylor come in. Can burning hearts keep back the message? These disciples were filled with joy. Possibly they did not wait to finish the meal, for they rose up that same hour, hastening to Jerusalem to tell the glad story about the risen Lord who had considered it worth while to take time on the first day of his resurrection to walk seven miles into the country* with two sorrow-stirken disciples. And this Christ with the tender heart is with us yet. The evangel of Easter is the glad news of a Savior, who by his resurrection, from dead, has power to raise our souls from death. As you accept Christ, the very omnipotence of God will work within you, and your faith will secure for you in your daily life a share in the resurrection of Christ. (Eph. 1:19, 20). May this beautiful Easter story repeat itself in your life. May you have Christ as your companion, your teacher, your friend, your guest; and all that, and more, he will be after he has become your Savior. Sorrowing, sinning soul, he may be meeting you on the way just now; perhaps just at the parting of the ways; do not let him go on, but do say: "I need thy presence every passing hour; What but thy grace can foll the tempter's power?" Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O, abide with me."

Nothing In the form of large entertain- ment was expected of it, but it was re- garded as a mere curiosity, says the Chicago Daily News. ; Inventive minds immediately saw a possibility of projecting these pictures on a screen 6o that they might be viewed by many instead of one, and in February, 1896, Robert W. Paul of London gave the first public exhibition of a motion picture ou a screen at the Finsbury ‘Technical college. ‘That was the beginning of a new era in the amusement world. From then on and even at tho present time efforts are being made to introduce new ideas and to:produce more startling results, ‘Tho art of making motton pictures while apparently at the height of per- fection, 1s, according to those directly interested in them, still in its infancy. I the hear future it is expected that this entertainment will assume a more realistic aspect. Instead of viewing ghostlike figures portrayed on a flat surface in black and white, the time is rapidly approaching when lifelike presentations will be presented in nat- ural colors and a stercoscople effect will be observed, which will indicate clearly distance in the foreground as well as the background. ‘The present day motion picture is manufactured under the guldunce of a careful and most observing producer. ‘The scenario of the photoplay corre- sponds to the manuscript of the dra- matic production. It’ is a complete story of the play and outlines the action of the plot, the various scenes, scenery and property necessary, ete. ‘The producer studies the scenario closely, makes necessary changes if required and proceeds to take the pie- ture. A motion picture is not taken from the beginning of the story and carried through to the end; ofttimes the last ‘acene Js taken first. This is particu- larly true when interfor and exterior scenes are necessary to complete the play.\ When all interfor scenes are takon, after that under favorable cll- matic conditions ‘the exterfor acenes are finished. i Author Praises Moving Pictures.

One of the tragedies that recently has come to the attention of those not directly involved in the making of moving pictures was passed upon by the Chicago censors; they reported unfavorably upon it because of the showing of a muqder just as it was done. It was Immediately suggested by the Producer that this objection to the drama might be removed by “doing over" a portion of the film and ellmi- nating the crime. A telegram contain: Ing this suggestion was sent to the studios of the company that staged the drama. “Doing over" that portion of the ‘film meant that the sime actors and actresses who had posed for the origt- nal pictures should go through their Parts once more, But in this picture the aged diamond master was to have been brought back to life. But death had placed a seemingly insurmountable obstacle in the way of carrying this plan to realization, ‘The news of this fact was contained in this telegram received st the Chicago offices of the film concern: “Cannot follow your suggestion about bringing old man back to life for character who played that part dicd suddenly yesterday."

Next week the great spectae- ular production, ‘Utopia,’ opens at the Grand, and they are advertising for extras. Of course this means simply an opportunity to x0 on the stage and carry a spear or a gun or to appear in evening dress In some sort of a s0- cfety scene, but at any rate It would be some sort of a start and would accustom one to the glare of the foot- Ughts.” So John applied for the op- portunity to act as an “extra” in the “Universe” and was promptly accept: ed when the astute third assistant stage manager, to whom was given the task of securing “extras,” learned that he was the possessor of a dress suit'and knew how to wear it. So John began the task of rehearsing along with all the rest of the mob who had been secured to make tho great White House reception scene. Now John was a comely fellow and bore all the earmarks of the gentle- man he was. Hence it was not strange that Ittle Miss Floy Burnette, the soubrette of the cast, looked twice or thrice in his direction and that his vigorous and virile manhood moved him to return the gaze In kind. Nor ts it strange that after the rehearsals wero a few days old John found him- self one fine afternoon buying a nice little supper for Miss Floy, and after that ft fs not strange at all that sim- flar suppers ehould follow and—well, to tell the truth, quite an audacious litte flirtation whieh lasted past the days of rehearsals and ran into chop suey suppers ‘after the performance quite as a regular thing. And had you seen Miss Moy and observed what a dainty little thing she was you would not wonder at all, Iam sure. Along toward the end of the first week of the production, of “Utopia” there was a most, scandalous row on among the “extras,” the result of which Was that several of the lady members of this august body departed in high anger and with specd accelerated by means known only to assistant stage managers. Whereupon there appeared more advertisements in the papers for “extras” of the female, persuasion who were possessed of the sort of clothes suitable for appearance in the great White Hotise reception scene. Now, as the fates would have it, May saw this innocent appearing Mt: tle adlet in the very respectable and conservative evening paper from which her, father gathered his infor- mation of the stock market. And, curiously enough, the same line of reasoning popped into her perverse little head which had drawn John into the maelstrom of stageland. She had seen the production and knew fust what the scene was there for which the “extras” were required. She had the clothes, goodriess knows, and plenty of experience in society mat- ters to carry herself, What an op- portunity to get back of the magle footlights and see for herself how it felt. Just the opportunity to make a start—and {t could bo done so easily and without publicity.

GOLDEN TEXT—"Who is he that shall condemn? It is Christ Jesus that died, ye rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh Intercession for us." Rom. 8:34. We turn aside today to consider as the Easter lesson a well-known event in connection with the several appearances of our Lord after his resurrection; one of the many infallible proofs, Acts 1:3; I Cor. 15:4. The narrative of this journey is one of the most beautiful post-resurrection stories, simple, clear and of great value. It is related, evidently, by an eye witness. The Cleopas mentioned is not the son of Mary, John 19:25. The name of the second pilgrim is but a conjecture, though we somehow feel it was Luke himself. The journey was about seven and one-half miles and most likely they were returning to their homes after the Passover. Somewhere on the way a stranger joined them who asked the nature of their conversation, and the cause of their evident sadness (v. 17). In astonishment, Cleopas answers, but the stranger continues and adroitly draws out their entire story. Interesting Progression. 1. Their Disappointment, vv. 13-24. It is all too evident that they did not expect a resurrection and that, filled with perplexity and discouragement they were on the verge of despair. It is interesting in this lesson to observe the progression (1) "and they talked" v. 14; (2) "and they found not," v. 23; (3) "and they saw not," v. 24; (4) "and they constrained him," v. 29; (5) "and they knew him," v. 31; (6) "and they said . . . the Lord is risen," vv. 32, 34; (7) "and they told," v. 34. As they "talked" it was revealed that their loving hearts were full of sadness and empty of faith, yet to talk is often the only way to find relief from the gnawing of grief. There seem (v. 15 R. V.) to have been two opinions and in their slowness of heart and unbelief they did not recognize their new companion. In response to his query they told how this Jesus had been delivered, condemned, crucified, and then revealed that this was to them the end of all things, for said they, "We had hoped that it was he." Are we willing he should have part in our every conversation: Continuing they told the amazing tale related by the women and, moreover that their statement of an empty tomb had been verified by certain women who had gone to investigate, but, in conclusion, they again reverted to their sadness by saying "They found his body." Cause of Sadness. II. His Appointment, vv. 25-35. Evidently the journey was continued and he gently rebukes them for their slowness of heart to believe the record of their own prophets. All sadness, practically, arises from unbelief in the Word of God, Phil. 4:6, 7; Rom. 8:28-32. He interpreted to them the true Messianic teaching of their own scriptures. He charges them with folly not to believe "all" of the record (v. 25). True wisdom is not that of skepticism which cuts out portions of the word, but, according to Jesus, it consists in believing all of the Scriptures. At last they reach Emmaus, still, let us remember, not knowing who it is walking with them. The road beyond was dangerous and "they constrained him" to accept their hospitality. As he sat at the table partaking of the ordinary evening meal, he assumed the place of the host, took the bread, blessed it and broke it. Instantly those old familiar acts and words revealed to them who it was that had walked by the way. III. Teaching Points. This narrative is so full of teaching and yet so clear and simple that it is hard to suggest any ordinary deductions therefrom. The story does, however, reveal the interest of the risen Lord in the doubt of these two disciples. That they were probably not of the twelve is evident by the fact that when they returned to Jerusalem they found the eleven assembled (v. 33). Thus we see him going to those outside of that inner circle, also, two who loved him seeking a solution of the mystery and consolation for their sad hearts. First hiding his identity, he drew from them their story. He then took them back to their Scriptures, with which they must have been familiar, and revealed to them that this mystery was according to those holy writings. Again the picture of his disciples is interesting. The progress of development in their faith above alluded to, the evidence of their faith and love in him, their tender affection and the death of their hope. He had not, so they thought, been able to accomplish that which they had expected he would accomplish. In company with all of his disciples they did not apprehend the real meaning of his mission. His teaching is manifested in their urgent hospitality for they must have remembered his words, "I was a stranger, and ye took me in." THE WOMEN'S UNION Mayor Lois Weber of Universal City, Cal. (in white) the only woman mayor in the world, is shown presenting a medal to her chief of police, the only 6 male police chief in the world, in the presence of the 25 members of the female police force of that place. This is the original, bromide, "woman's sphere," where women do all the bossing, and where mere man is just tolerated—that's all; just tolerated. There probably is no other town in the world where all the officials—mayor, chief of police, aldermen and corporation counsel are women. Universal City, or the City of Movies, is located about five miles from Los Angeles. Its population is made up of actors who build the film pictures, and was incorporated under the laws of the state, soon after the women of California won the franchise. The "queens" of the movies are not show to grasp the opportunity and nominated such a strong ticket that at the elections, the male ticket was simply annihilated, and Miss Lois Weber was elected to fill the mayor's office. Miss Stella Adams (insert) is the chief of police. The uniforms of the women police force consist of caps, blouses, short skirts and black silk stockings with 12 gold buttons down the side. MOTION PICTURES DATE FROM 1893 Edison's Kinetoscope Was First Introduced to Public During World's Fair. THEN LOOKED UPON AS -TOY From Being Regarded as Mere Curiosity to Amuse Children, the Invention Has Progressed Until It Is One of the Country's Industries. While photo plays are becoming the popular form of amusement for the large multitudes and have only within the last year or so been accepted as logical entertainment' by the grown-ups, who were somewhat skeptical in the beginning of this so-called "craze", yet motion pictures are not a new amusement enterprise, for as far back as 1893 during the world's fair Edison introduced his kinetoscope, which showed photographs in action. This was a "nickel-in-the-slot machine" and, at that time was looked upon as a toy. Nothing in the form of large entertainment was expected of it, but it was regarded as a mere curiosity, says the Chicago Daily News. Inventive minds immediately saw a possibility of projecting these pictures on a screen so that they might be viewed by many instead of one, and in February, 1896, Robert W. Paul of London gave the first public exhibition of a motion picture on a screen at the Finsbury Technical college. That was the beginning of a new era in the amusement world. From then on and even at the present time efforts are being made to introduce new ideas and to produce more startling results. The art of making motion pictures while apparently at the height of perfection, is, according to those directly interested in them, still in its infancy. In the hear future it is expected that this entertainment will assume a more realistic aspect. Instead of viewing ghostlike figures portrayed on a flat surface in black and white, the time Mayor Lois Weber of Universal City, the world, is shown presenting a medal to chief in the world, in the presence of the that place. This is the original, honable, the bossing, and where mere man is just probably is no other town in the world.

Miss Lice. The uniforms of the women police and black silk stockings with 13 gold but is rapidly approaching when lifelike presentations will be presented in natural colors and a stereoscopic effect will be observed, which will indicate clearly distance in the foreground as well as the background. The present day motion picture is manufactured under the guidance of a careful and most observing producer. The scenario of the photoplay corresponds to the manuscript of the dramatic production. It is a complete story of the play and outlines the action of the plot, the various scenes, scenery and property necessary, etc. The producer studies the scenario closely, makes necessary changes if required and proceeds to take the picture. A motion picture is not taken from the beginning of the story and carried through to the end; ofttimes the last scene is taken first. This is particularly true when interior and exterior scenes are necessary to complete the play. When all interior scenes are taken, after that under favorable climatic conditions the exterior scenes are finished. Author Praises Moving Pictures. Augustus Thomas has been thoroughly converted to the motion picture drama. "They produced a play of mine in pictures," he says, "and instead of coconut shell horse hoofs we had the real thing. My wife said it was the first time she had been able to THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR, COLUMBIA, S. C. see the play as I saw it when I wrote it. Everything is acted out. There is nothing left to illusion. When a man escapes, as one does in the play, you see him make his exit, and the picture is carried out, the scene changes and you see him riding off. Gesture has become almost a lost art in the legitimate theater today, but the motion pictures are going to change all that. It is true that the average actor makes his gestures like an omelet—all mixed and helter skelter. They cannot do that before the camera, for the picture registers their mistakes, their carelessness and their crudeness. Gestures should be made like eggs, fried on both sides and turned over without breaking the yolks." Had Something to Fall On. An actress escaped serious injury in an accident during the taking of a photo play in New York. In one scene she makes a daring leap out of a window, and while enacting it her foot accidentally caught in the curtain, throwing her headlong out of the window. But for the lucky appearance of Charles Hitchcock she might have been badly hurt. She fell on Hitchcock and neither one was hurt. Death and Censor Conflicted. Any suspicion that all the tragedies of the moving picture business are recorded upon the screen for the entertainment of theater goers would be dispelled by just one peep beyond the lens of the camera. The tragedies, romances and comedies in the lives of the men and women who make "movies" possible probably would furnish even more entertaining pictures for film fans than the make-believe stories now crowded into each thousand feet of film. One of the tragedies that recently has come to the attention of those not directly involved in the making of moving pictures was passed upon by the Chicago censors; they reported unfavorably upon it because of the showing of a murder just as it was done. It was immediately suggested by the producer that this objection to the drama might be removed by "doing over" a portion of the film and eliminating the crime. A telegram containing this suggestion was sent to the studios of the company that staged the drama. "Doing over" that portion of the film meant that the same actors and CAL., (in white) the only woman mayor in her chief of police, the only female police 25 members of the female police force of "woman's sphere," where women do all tolerated—that's all; just tolerated.

But in this picture the aged diamond master was to have been brought back to life. But death had placed a seemingly insurmountable obstacle in the way of carrying this plan to realization. The news of this fact was contained in this telegram received at the Chicago offices of the film concern: "Cannot follow your suggestion about bringing old man back to life for character who played that part died suddenly yesterday." Death, however, did not prevent the reconstruction of the film. A double of the dead actor was found and the revisions finally were made. Determined to Get Realism To imitate perfectly the habits and peculiarities of the monkey, an actor spent many days in the Bronx Zoological gardens in New York. In the proposed play the miser changes in appearance from man to ape, and to add realm to the part the actor made a study of the animals. Shows Famous Men on Screen. Moving pictures of the lives of great composers are being shown in the picture theaters. Recently "The Life of Richard Wagner" was presented, and in the near future a photo play visualizing the life of Verdi, the Italian composer, will be portrayed on the screen. OUT FOR A LARK How the Stage Lost Two Shining Ornaments After Trip to Bohemia. Amateur theatricals were responsible for the whole miserable trouble. May certainly had made a hit. So had John. And of course both became very much stage-struck. Both dreamed of Thespian careers—and both secretly resolved to go on the stage. * Both were clever, too, and could act—in amateur theatricals. But each was violently opposed to the other adopting a stage career. He, being a trifle worldly-wise, thought the stage not at all the proper place for his promised wife, and she, knowing that he wagon trifle worldly-wise, thought the stage not at all the place for him. The consequence was that eachanned secretly and persistently to plunge into the magic world of Stage-and without letting the other know anything about it. One day John acquired a great idea. "I cannot become a full-fledged actor at once," said he to himself. "Like unto all professions or occupations, I trow it is necessary to start at the bottom. Next week the great spectacular production, 'Utopia,' opens at the Grand, and they are advertising for extras. Of course this means simply an opportunity to go on the stage and carry a spear or a gun or to appear in evening dress in some sort of a society scene, but at any rate it would be some sort of a start and would accustom one to the glare of the footlights." So John applied for the opportunity to act as an "extra" in the "Universe" and was promptly accepted when the astute third assistant stage manager, to whom was given the task of securing "extras," learned that he was the possessor of a dress suit and knew how to wear it. So John began the task of rehearsing along with all the rest of the mob who had been secured to make the great White House reception scene. Now John was a comely fellow and bore all the earmarks of the gentleman he was. Hence it was not strange that little Miss Floy Burnette, the soubrette of the cast, looked twice or thrice in his direction and that his vigorous and virile manhood moved him to return the gaze in kind. Nor is it strange that after the rehearsals were a few days old John found himself one fine afternoon buying a nice little supper for Miss Floy, and after that it is not strange at all that similar suppers should follow and—well, to tell the truth, quite an audacious little flirtation which lasted past the days of rehearsals and ran into chop suey suppers after the performance quite as a regular thing. And had you seen Miss Floy and observed what a dainty little thing she was you would not wonder at all. I am sure. Along toward the end of the first week of the production of "Utopla" there was a most scandalous row on among the "extras," the result of which was that several of the lady members of this august body departed in high anger and with speed accelerated by means known only to assistant stage managers. Whereupon there appeared more advertisements in the papers for "extras" of the female persuasion who were possessed of the sort of clothes suitable for appearance in the great White House reception scene. Now, as the fates would have it, May saw this innocent appearing little adlet in the very respectable and conservative evening paper from which her father gathered his information of the stock market. And, curiously enough, the same line of reasoning popped into her perverse little head which had drawn John into the maelstrom of stageland. She had seen the production and knew just what the scene was there for which the "extras" were required. She had the clothes, goodness knows, and plenty of experience in society matters to carry herself. What an opportunity to get back of the magic footlights and see for herself how it felt. Just the opportunity to make a start—and it could be done so easily and without publicity. She flew to her bosom friend, Margy Phelps, and outlined her audacious plan. And Margy, although shocked and not at all approving, thought it a rare lark and entered into the conspiracy. So it happened on the following day that Miss May announced with all the assurance of an only daughter that she had decided to go over and stay with Margy for a week. True, her mother was a trifle mystified at the extent of the wardrobe May deemed necessary to take for a week's stay with a girl friend, but a severe suggestion regarding amateur theatricals silenced that question, and the next morning at ten o'clock May found herself standing in the dismal line waiting for an interview with the assistant stage manager. It was a simple matter to secure the job when May told that astute official of the costumes she had and suggested her social experiences. In fact Bill Smith hugged himself with joy when he saw her "togged out" and swore he was "darned glad those other" slobs had quit. He talked so much of his find that his enthusiastic remarks reached the ear of the "heavy." Herbert Montgomery, a dashing young fellow always looking for fun and adventure, and Mr. Montgomery dropped in at the special rehearsal to take a look at Bill's society find. He came to criticize, but remained to admire. Now, Mr. Montgomery was a fine looking young fellow and one of the best actors in the cast, and it is not strange that, being properly introduced by Bill Smith and flushed with the wine of her first appearance behind the footlights and out for a lark anyway, May should permit Mr. Montgomery to take her to a delightful little supper in "Dohomia," that fairyland of which she had dreamed but never seen, and then to escort her to her car. The funny part of it was, however, that while appearing in the same scene, neither May nor John recognized each other on that first night of her appearance—nor yet on the second. Still it is not so strango after all, when one considers the great number of people in that White House reception scene in "Utopia," and the fact that it was all so new and wonderful to both of them and the fact that both were blinded by the footlights the moment they struck the stage. The tragedy came after the second appearance of May. Again came Mr. Montgomery with his handsome face and his gentlemanly manner and proposed to induct her still further into the mysteries and delights of "Bohemia." She felt it was improper and dangerous—but, after all, she was off on a lark—why not enjoy it while she might? Desides, if she was to adopt the stage as a career, as she now fully intended to, she might as well adapt herself to "living in Rome as the Romans do." So she accepted Mr. Montgomery's invitation with a pretty little flush which sent the blood bounding through that gentleman's veins. That night Mr. Montgomery conducted his fair young pupil to a much livelier place than that of the night before, and she was scarcely seated before she found a glass of sparkling wine before her. There was much life and action in the place; much singing of songs and telling of stories and laughter and mirth and gaiety. Presently a blonde-haired little lady sauntered over to the quiet table where Montgomery and May sat. She carried her wine glass in her hand and, tapping Montgomery on the shoulder, said: "Come over and join us, Herb; this two and two business is too lonely." And then May was almost paralyzed to hear a familiar voice say: "Yes, Mr. Montgomery, come over and join us and bring your pretty little lady of the chorus with you—and we'll make a night of it." Just at this particular point John came into full view of Mr. Montgomery's partner and the brimming wine glass he held dropped to the floor as he gazed at her with distended eyes. May's glass, which was raised to her lips, also fell from her hand as she recognized the partner of the blonde soubrette. John was the first to recover himself. "On the whole," he said, slowly. "I think I will escort Miss Miller home if Mr. Montgomery will be kind enough to look after Miss Burnette." Just what explanations happened on that walk and ride to the Phelps home deponent knoweth not. Only this is a matter of record; there were two vacancies in the supernumeraries in the White House scene at "Utopia" on the following evening, which caused great profanity on the part of Bill Smith. Also was there much speculation and some mirth on the part of Mr. Herbert Montgomery and Miss Floy Burnette. And the stage lost two shining ornaments, because John went in for hides and leather and May became a most severe and conventional housewife. (Copyright, 1914, by Dally Story Pub. Co.)

Manston, Wis. — "At the Change of Life I suffered with pains in my back and loins until I could not stand. I also had night-sweats so that the sheets would be wet. I tried other medicine but got no relief. After taking one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I began to improve and I continued its use for six months. The pains left me, the night-sweats and hot flashes grew less, and in one year I was a different woman. I know I have to thank you for my continued good health ever since." — Mrs. M. J.

An important find has been made in the art collections of Marchese della Stufa at France. It is a painting by Caravaggio, which had been lost sight of for many years. The painting was known to connoisseurs through a print in the Galleria degli Uffizi. Sig d'Pietro, the secretary of this gallery, was determined to find the picture. It was known that in the year 1700 it was in possession of the Cerretani family, which is now extinct. Sig di Pietro, while examining Marchese the Stufa's collection saw the painting and immediately identified it. The Uffizi print is an exact reproduction of the picture, which is a typical Caravaggio. It depicts six youths, one of whom is playing a violin, one a lute and one a flute, while two are singing and one is listening.—New York Sun Ancient Stage to Be Used A more than usually interesting dramatic revival is announced for April 16, when the "Agamemnon" of Aeschylus will be performed in the ancient Greek theater of Syracuse. Nearly 24 centuries have passed since Hiero I embellished his city with the theater which tradition attributes to the architect Democopor Myrilla. Aeschylus must have taken refuge in the court of Hiero very soon after its completion, and it may be conjectured that the great trilogy, which began with the "Agamemnon," was often performed on its stage; it is known that the "Persae" was performed there and a work written for Hiero by Aeschylus, entitled the "Etene," of which no trace remains.

SILly Qeustion. The 'bus conductors were on strike, and at the last moment their places were taken by all kinds of men anxious to make a little money. These temporary officials did not know much about conducting a 'bus, and even less about conducting themselves with civility, in spite of the fact that a large number of them had had the advantage of a university training. An old lady boarded a 'bus at Piccadilly Circus, and, after they had gone a few yards, asked the conductor—one of the fallen stars: Conductor, do you stop at the Ritz hotel? "No, madam," came the reply, "not at present, that is to say—I can't afford it!" GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR Six made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to Bring Back Color, Gloss, Thickness. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy.

FROM EATING TOO MUCH MEAT Take Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers—Meat Forms Uric Acid. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithla-water drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.—Ady.

HEARINGS ON THE PANAMA TOLL BILL SENATE COMMITTEE WILL ALLOW 15 DAYS FOR HEARING ON MEASURE. Senate Devoted Entire Day to Discussion of Different Phases of the Matter.—Nothing Complete Until Committee Passes. Washington. — Confronted by telegrams from Gulf and Pacific Coasts ports urging public hearings on the bill proposing the Panama exemption repeal, the Senate Interoceanic Canals Committee decided to give 15 days to hearing both proponents and opponents of the measure which passed the house. Meanwhile the committee will hear various senators who have offered substitute plans for the flat repeal measure passed by the house. The committee entered into no discussion of the merits of the bill itself. A long standing rule that committee meetings should be secret was put aside and the discussion thrown open to the public but a few senators, a group of school girl tourists and newspaper men were the only persons to take advantage of the departure from precedent. In the senate the repeal fight occupied virtually the entire day, although formal presentation of the matter will not come until the conclusion of the committee hearings and its deliberations. The first roll call on the general subject was taken on a motion to refer to the Foreign Relations Committee a resolution offered by Senator Poindexter asking that the President explain what matters he had in mind in writing in his repeal message of "matters of even greater delicacy and nearer consequence," and what connection these matters might have with the Panama Canal regulations and trolls. The administration forces by a vote of 35 to 27 sent the resolution to the committee, seven Democrats voting in the negative and nine Republicans in the affirmative.

Greensa Box, OA, Atlanta, GA. Advertising Rules Made Known on Application Saturday, April 11, 1914. Grant, Lee, Appomattox April 9, 1865--April 9, 1914 Forty-nine years ago day before yesterday. Lee the Confederate Chieftain, surrendered at Appomattox Court House to Grant, the Captain of the Union army, and the greatest war of modern times was ended. Gathering about him his best troops and most trusted officers, Lee had contested every inch of ground in his efforts to protect the fall of Richmond and the dismemberment of the Southern Confederacy. His skirmishes, attacks and retreats had been executed with consumatee skill; but opposed by superior numbers and with God Almighty against him, with his army half starved, half clad and disintegrating, with the Southern Confederacy subjugated in the Southerner's heart and the president of the Confederacy, fleeing in disguise from place to place, he saw the absolute folly of continuing the hopeless struggle and the further sacrificing of the lives of these brave but mistaken men, and surrendered accordingly at Appamattox on the 9th of April 1865. The magnanimity of the conquerors toward the conquered partly alleviated the sting of defeat. When the Union Army marched into Richmond they found that the city was in flames and Negro soldiers from the Union army soon extinguished the fire and stopped, the plunder begun by their masters. A similar attempt had been made to burn Charleston and Columbia, and was partly successful. The white people of the South—the ruling class—proud, arrogant, self assertive,-though their leader, John C. Calhoun, had attempted more than three quarters of a century ago to bring about secession and rebellion; but the lynx-eyed man with the iron hand was watching him ready to strike him down. In that memorable debate, called the battle of the giants, South Carolina and Massachusetts had crossed swords in the greatest forensic duel fought on American soil. With rhetorical brilliancy and power, Hayne the champion of the Southern white people, had for two days controlled the floor of the United States Senate; and with fluent and melodious elocution, with insolent assurance, and plausible sophistry, backed by a band of bold and vindictive followers confounded almost every hearer. When he finished and sat down, the whole nation held its breath in suspense. Then followed the outburst of acclaim on the part of his friends throughout the south. On Tuesday January 26, 1830—a day memorable ever after Webster, like the war horse spoken of in the Scriptures. "who paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength:" who goeth on to meet the armed men who sayeth among the trumpets ha, ha! and who smalleth the battle afar off, the the thunder of the captains and the shouting, arose and addressed the Senate. "In deep and thrilling Cadence as waves upon the shore of the far resounding sea," his swarthy, countenance lighted up with excitement, like Vulcan in his armory forging thoughts for the Gods", he soon had his auditors spellbound. And then with pitiless logic, and eloquence unsurpassed he completely demolished the supposed impregnable structure of his adversary and captured the entire audience and the whole countrv, voluntarily or in spite of themselves, by the spell of his unsurpassed forensic eloquence; closing with these memorable words—"Liberty and Union, Now and For ever, One and Inseparable." Webster had ovmastered and vanquished Hayne. Andrew Jackson had humbled and subdued John C. Calhoun. But the leprosy of slavery was in the blood of the South. Human slavery "the sum of all villanies," caused the war. When Lee surrendered, the black south was freed, the white south whip ped but not conquered. What it lost a half century ago in a contest with bullets it has partly regained in a contest with ballots. To day a southern white man is president of the United States Five of the white men who constitute his cabinet are Southerners. The leader of the House of Representatives is a Southern white man. The leader of the United States Senate is a Southern white man, Some of the most brilliant and most influential members of the two branches of Congress are bitter and unscrupulous southern white Negro haters. A majority of the governors and legislators in the south, all white, are equally as bitter and vengeful. The Negro constitutes a majority of the population of the south, but is absolutely without representation, He appears to be standing between Scylla and Charybdis. But God is not asleep. He is raising up even here among the white people of the South, friends who are gradually coming to our rescue and will help us to fight our battles. It is said that immediately after the election of Jefferson Davis as president of the Southern Confederacy, a discussion arose as to the symbol to be placed upon the seal of the state, and some one suggested a bale of cotton with a Negro asleep upon it; and that Jefferson Davis exclaimed—"What if that Negro should wake up?" He did wake up about fifty years ago, and then soon fell a sleep again. It is now high time for him to again arouse himself from his lethargy and sleep. The first exhortation he received was Educate! Educate! The exhortation he must now heed is Register! Register! Register! God is on your side. Self respecting, liberty loving, God fearing white people need Negroes of intelligence and character and possessing the proper qualifications for citizenship to help them redeem the South and particularly our own dear commonwealth from political tricksters and dem agouges. Listen! Listen! You will soon hear the next exhortation Vote! Vote! Vote! God save the Negro! God save us of the South! God save the commonwealth of South Carolina! The Funeral of Mrs. Fannie Herrington, Sun. Mar. 29. Bethel A. M. E. Church was crowded to congestion by the throng that attended the funeral of Mrs Herington. Grief and sympathy were manifest everywhere. The services were conducted by the pastor Rev. I. J. Pruitt, who delivered a fitting eulogy over the deceased. Other ministers were present and assisted in the service. The floral tribute were numerous and beautiful. A number of her white friends were present and some of them went to the cemetery to pay their last tribute of affection and love. Some of them were in tears. Everybody felt that a good and useful woman had ended her labors here, but had gone to her reward in heaven. Messrs Ferguson and Morris deserve credit for the manner in which they carried out the funeral arrangements. Both were present to see that the wishes of the family were carried out in every particular, Mr. Ferguson the veteran undertaker, personally superintending the arrangements and exhibiting his usual good taste and judgement in every detail.
