Brownlee, after having been ill for many years with Asthma, died Thursday evening of last week between 6:00 and 7:00 o'clock. He was forty years of age. He worked up to a few hours of his death. He was a boyhood friend of ours and his death was a great shock to us. After he quit work he suffered great pain and suddenly took a fainting spell and died in a few minutes. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at his late home on Nichols St., conducted by Rev. J. E. Thomas, assisted by Rev. H. E. Jennings.

COLUMBIA, S. C. SATURDAY, MAY 2d. 1914 FROM CITY ON THE EDISTO Orangeburg, April 29. -At this season of the year when the fields, hills and valleys are covered with iiving green, we can think of no place in South Carolina that is more beautiful in natural appearance than Orangeburg, ("The City on the Edisto"). However, at this writing we shall avoid description but will proceed briefly along other lines. The Commencement exercises at Claflin this year from present indications, will be among, he best of the school's history and be witnessed by hundreds of people who are dearly interested in the educational uplift of the race. The great Methodist church which is the foundation pillar of grand-old Claflin University deserves no small praise for what she has done and is doing. May the name of Claflin University ever remain the same, unchanged. Dr. Dunton, the venerable president of this school is a grand and glorious man and deserves the praise and hearty co-operation of all concerned. Dr. R. S. Wilkinson, the quiet unassuming ideal president of the Colored State College with his efficient corps of teachers, deserves the "well done thou good and faithful servant." The State College is the educational paradise of South Carolina for the Negro and all concerned should therefore feel happy and grateful. The Commencement Exercises of this school will be held on the same dates as Claflin and will be as usual largely attended. Both of the schools have had a very prosperous year. The Farmers in this as in other sections are busy and will reap in due season if they faint not. Rev. C. C. Scott of Columbia, S. C., and his son Joseph of Claflin, called on me one day last week and paid their respects. Thanks, call again. Mrs J. E. Wilson, of Florence, S. C. is visiting her daughter, Mrs F. I. Simkins of this city. Elder J. S. Thomas, will attend the Commencement Exercises of Bennett College, Greensboro, N.C. Two of Dr. Thoma's sons will graduate from this school on the 6th of May. Dr. J. E. Wallace, formerly of Claflin University, is the president of the school. We have a few subscribers to the Indicator whose names will be sent in next week, after the schools have closed The Indicator's Friend. THE NEWS FROM NEWBERRY. Newberry, April 27—The closing exercises at the Davenport School were good. This school is about seven miles from Newberry, and was taught this year by Miss Eugenia Williams, a young woman who has proved a very efficient teacher, A large party of young people from town attended the exercises of this school. Prof. U. S. Gallman, Rural Supervisor, at the close of the exercises, addressed the people in strong forceful fashion, reminding them of certain faults, and urging them to greater efforts in connection with their school. The Social Club met at the home of Miss M. G. Ward, Wednesday. A most enjoyable time was reported. This is a club composed wholly of young ladies, who exercise the right of suffrage, and all other privileges, and mere man has nothing to do with it. By special permission man is sometimes admitted, but only in order that he might see how well ladies manage their own affairs. The Jenkins Orphanage Band gave its concert in the Bethlehem Baptist church, Monday night. All the numbers were good and heartily applauded, none more so than the debate-Resolved, "That the South is a better place for the Negro than the North." The affirmative was upheld by Miss A. E. Robinson, while the negative was doubtily debated by Miss N. B. Spencer. The very large audience present voted almost unanimously in favor of the North. William Gary, the colored man who has been a government employee at the post-office for several years, has resigned, his resignation to take effect soon. Gary has made a faithful employee and does his work well; but, being a colored man there is a good deal of work about the office that he could not do to the satisfaction of the general public. The above is from the Newberry Observer. You are permitted to draw your own conclusions. The colored employee in the government service South under the present administration finds the "general public" a hard customer. He is the same customer that he had to deal with under a former administration however, and there was no kick. Correspondent. REV. SPENCER ADAMS DLAD. Congaree, April 30.—Rev Spencer H. Adams, died April 14, at Hopkins. The funeral service were held Sunday, April 19, at Zion Benevolent Church, being conducted by the pastor Rev. J. W. Neal assisted by the Rev. J. W. Boykin of Camden. Two very creditable sermons were rendered. Rev. Neal took his text from Pslm 78:70 71 72 verses. He chose David also his servant and took him from the sheepfold to feed Jacob his people and Isreal his inheritance. So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart and guided them by skillfulness of his hand. The Rev. Boykin also rendered every creditable discourse from Ist Corinthians 15:57. "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Rev. Adams has been a tireless worker in the ministry since 1893, preaching at Zion Benevolent Baptist for a period of six years. It will be remembered that Rev. Adams was stricken with paralysis about two years and eight months ago since which time he has been practically confined to the house. Though almost helpless and unable to perform his desired duties, he never made a complaint, and in his affliction he was always steadfast in the faith of the Heavenly Father. Always willing and ready to discuss the welfare of the service of the Master. During his affliction he was nursed by a loving wife who showed a lifetime of devotion to her loved one always at his side, and always willing at a moments notice to administer to him, such of this life's goods as were necessary to the comfort of the body. The Rev. Adams is survived by his wife, Mrs Annie Adams, and ten children. Mrs S. G. Brooks, of Jacksonville, Fla., the eldest, Mrs C. S. Carr, of Augusta, Ga., Mr. S. H. Adams, Jr., and David E. Adams of New York city, Miss Janie Adams of Benedict College, Mr. John Q. Chauncy Adams, M. D. of Kalla, and the Misses Katie and Ophelia Adams who are at home. The community as well as the state has sustained a great loss in the death of the Rev. Adams. We shall miss him for his clear and concise judgment. He was always slow to make a decision on any matter. Seldom, if ever talkative, always willing and ready to lend a helping hand to his fellow men. But whom we love, God loves even more. So Thy soul has been its way. The pale blue melts around thy flight And we miss thee more each day. 'Oh!' how we miss thy tender voice. Thy loving fatherly care. It's music made our hearts rejoice. It soothed our every fear. Enter now thy Master's joy. The crown that thou hast von. Is purest gold without alloy. Thy work has been well done. W. W. A. Grand Drama and Japanese Drill. Mrs. J. E. Sullivan with a bevy of Sunday school children, boys and girls, will entertain the public Monday night, May 4th, at Zion Baptist church. The program to be rendered is a good one and calculated both to inspire the young and interest the old. Admission 10 cents. Go early if you wish a seat as a big crowd of people are bound to go. THE MUTUAL RELIEF AND BE NEVOLENT ASSOCIATION. Publicly Commended by Insurance Commissioner, McMas er. In a recent speech to the South Carolina white teachers association at Spartanburg, Insurance commissioner F. H. McMaster made the following utterance: "I have been made sick at heart as I have heard South Carolinians say that successful insurance companies can only be conducted, in the North. Why ladies and gentlemen, I can take you to Columbia and show you a Negro preacher who is conducting a successfully one of the safest industrial insurance companies in America. As a matter of fact I know of no other company in exactly the same condition. Its surplus is greater than its liability to its policy holders." Commissioner McMaster was speaking to representatives of the most cultured and highly educated white people of both sexes in South Carolina and speaking of a Negro business enterprise controlled and managed by South Carolinians of the Negro race. This is the highest compliment we have ever known to be paid to any insurance company. This company's advertisement appears elsewhere in the Southern Indicator. We recommend it to you. Take out a policy at once if you have not already done so. Dr. Dunbar and his business associates have just cause to feel proud of this well earned endorsement by the Insurance Commissioner. CULLINGS OF STATE COLLEGE Orangeburg, April 27. —Tuesday April 14th, the birthday of Senator Justin Smith Morrill, of Vermont, father of the Land Grant colleges, was observed by the faculty and students of the State College as agricultural day. All other exercises of the college were dispensed with and the entire force of workers assembled in the chapel and devoted the time to discussions of problems affecting rural and city life in the various sections of the State represented. Special addresses were made by designated members of the faculty and interesting papers were read by students assigned to this feature of the conference. The day was most interestingly and profitably spent and has doubtless inspired many ideas of community improvement among all attendants. The day will be an annual observance in the future life of the college. It is a notable fact that of the 887 students enrolled in the institution this session, 697 came from farms. This shows that our people are lining up strong on agricultural education. The other trades and occupations of industrial life are also well represented. The students have come from six states aside from South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida are well represented. The annual summer session for teachers will begin this year June 29th, and last four weeks. A large concourse of students is expected. Courses in all the literary, industrial and agricultural NUMBER 22 subjects will be offered by a competent faculty. The base ball team has had a victorious season, the best in its history. They have won every game played except one of the Allen University series. The series with that institution is tied and will doubtless be played off. Every prominent college of the State has been met and defeated, and Morris Brown College, of Atlanta, Ga., has been added to the string of victories. Wednesday May 6th is commencement day this year. The address to the graduating class will be delivered by Rev, E, H. Coit, D. D., of Charleston. Dr. Coit is a platform orator of splendid ability, and never fails to please his hearers. The class this year number 52, an increase over that of last year The new agricultural equipment of the college is nearing completion. The latest addition is the concrete sille just finished by the students of the maso ry division. It has the capacity of storing food for 20 cows during 200 days of the year. This will bring our dairy up to the standard of farmers colleges. Some of the most prominent divines of the state have preached to the students this session at the invitation of the faculty. The last of the list filled this engagement last Sunday night in the person of Rev. M.G. Johnson, pastor of Ladson Presbyterian church, Columbia. Dr. Johnson's sermon was full of helpful advice to the large assembly of students and friends who heard him. COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM. STATE COLLEGE ORANGEBURG Commencement Week, 1914. May 3, 4 P.

The community as well as the state has sustained a great loss in the death of the Rev. Adams. We shall miss him for his clear and concise judgment. He was always slow to make a decision on any matter. Seldom, if ever talkative, always willing and ready to lend a helping hand to his fellow men. But whom we love, God loves even more.

THE MUTUAL RELIEF AND BE NEVOLENT ASSOCIATION; Publicly Commended by Insurance Commissioner, McMas er. In a recent speech to the South Carolina, white teachers association at Spartanburg, Insurance commissioner F. H. McMaster made the following utterance: "I have been made sick at heart as I have neared South Carolinians say that successful insurance companies can only be conducted, in the North. Why ladies and gentlemen, I can take you to Columbia and show you a Negro preacher who is conducting a successfully one of the safest industrial insurance companies in America. As a matter of fact I know of no other company in exactly the same condition. Its surplus is greater than its liability to its policy holders." Commissioner McMaster was speaking to representatives of the most cultured and highly educated white people of both sexes in South Carolina and speaking of a Negro business enterprise controlled and managed by South Carolinians of the Negro race. This is the highest compliment we have ever known to be paid to any insurance company. This company's advertisement appears elsewhere in the Southern Indicator. We recommend it to you. Take out a policy at once if you have not already done so. Dr. Dunbar and his business associates have just cause to feel proud of this well earned endorsement by the Insurance Commissioner. GULLINGS OF STATE COLLEGE Orangeburg, April 27. - Tuesday April 14th, the birthday of Senator Justin Smith Morrill, of Vermont, fattier of the Land Grant colleges, was observed by the faculty and students of the State College as agricultural day. All other exercises of the college were dispensed with and the entire force of workers assembled in the chapel and devoted the time to discussions of problems affecting rural and city life in the various sections of the State represented. Special addresses were made by designated members of the faculty and interesting papers were read by students assigned to this feature of the conference. The day was most interestingly and profitably spent and has doubtless inspired many ideas of community improvement among all attendants. The day will be an annual observance in the future life of the college. It is a notable fact that of the 887 students enrolled in the institution this session, 697 came from farms. This shows that our people are lining up strong on agricultural education. The other trades and occupations of industrial life are also well represented. The students have come from six states aside from South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida are well represented. The annual summer session for teachers will begin this year June 29th, and last four weeks. A large concourse of students is expected. Courses in all the literary, industrial and agricultural NUMBER 22 subjects, will be offered by competent faculty. The base.ball team has had a victorious season, the best in its history. They have won every game played except one of the Allen University series. The series with that institution is tied and will doubtless be played off. Every prominent college of the State has been met and defeated, and Morris Brown College, of Atlanta, Ga. has been added to the string of victories. Wednesday. May 6th is commencement day this year. The address to the graduating class will be delivered by Rev. E, H. Coit, D. D., of Charleston. Dr. Coit is a platform orator of splendid ability, and never fails to please his hearers. The class this year number 52, an increase over that of last year. The new agricultural equipment of the college is nearing completion. The latest addition is the concrete site just finished by the students of the masory division. It has the capacity of storing, food for 20 cows during 200 days of the year. This will bring our dairy up to the standard of farmers colleges. Some of the most prominent divines of the state have preached to the students this session at the invitation of the faculty. The last of the list filled this en-gagement last Sunday night in the person of Rev. M. G. Johnson, pastor of Ladson Presbyterian, church, Columbia. Dr. Johnson's sermon was full of helpful advice to the large assembly of students and friends who heard him. COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM. STATE COLLEGE. ORANGEBURG Commencement Week, 1914 May 3, 4 P.

Newberry, April 27—The les ing exercises at the Davenport School were good: This school is about seven miles from New- berry, and was taught this year by Miss Eugenia Wil- liams, a young woman who has proved a very efficient teacher, A large party of young people from town attended the exercises’ of this school. Prof. U. S. Gall- man, Rural Supervisor, at the close of the exercises, addressed the people in strong forceful fashion, reminding them of cer- tain faults. and urging them to greater efforts in connection with their school. The Social Club met at the home of Miss M. G. Ward, Wednesday. A most enjoyable time was reported. This is a club composed wholly of young ladies, who exercise the rlght of suffrage, and all other privileges, and mere man has -nothing to do with it. By special permission man is sometimes admitted, but only in ordér that he might gee how wel! ladies manage their own affairs.

ALL MEXICO UNDER PLAN OF MEDIATION CARRANZA ACCEDES TO REQUEST OF INTERMEDIARIES TO ACCEPT MEDIATION. WILL STOP FIGHTING NOW United States and Huerta Will Agree to Armistice and Carranza is Expected To Do So. Washingotn.—The scope of mediation plans for the settlement of the Mexican crisis was suddenly broadened so as to include the entire range of Mexican affairs, not alone the critical issue between the United States and the Huerta regime, but also the conflict between the elements of Northern and Southern Mexico which have rent the republic for many months. This signal enlargement of the mediation program followed the receipt late in the day of a formal acceptance by General Carranza, chief of the Constitutionalists. of the principle of mediation, as proposed by the ambassador from Brazil and the ministers from Argentina and Chile. Already the United States and General Huerta had formally accepted the good offices of these South American envoyes and now as a further step, General Carranza has been brought into the deliberations so as to draw every element and faction within the range of any settlement which may be attained. Earlier in the day the mediators made another decisive move in asking the United States and General Huerta to agree to an armistice by which all aggressive military movements would be suspended pending the outcome of the negotiations. The mediators confidently expect both sides to accept the armistice proposal. A separate proposal for an armistice as between Huerta and Carranza also will be made, and with its acceptance all of the warring elements throughout Mexico as well as the American forces would maintain a military status quo. The American government in its formal reply to the armistice proposal will stipulate expressly that any untoward act toward Americans will be regarded as an infraction of the armistice. The South American envoys were in session throughout the day. Up to adjournment they had progressed steadily on their plans and foresaw a definite statement within the next few days of their contemplated action. During the evening the envoys individually conferred with their colleagues in the diplomatic corps from Central and South America to lay before them what had been done and discuss the general situation. BRITISH FACTIONS MAY COMBINE Compromise on Question of Home Rule Now Seems Possible. London.—A compromise on the question of home rule for Ireland seemed nearer than it ever has been before. There was a strong belief in Parliamentary circles that conferences between leaders of the two great parties soon would be resumed. The House of Commons discussed the Ulster crisis again when it wounded two days debate on Austen Chamberlain's motion for a judicial inquiry into the government's "plot" to crush the Ulster Covenanters. The motion which virtually was a vote of censure on the cabinet, was rejected by a party vote of 344 to 264. The growing belief that civil war in Ireland is a reality which cannot be escaped if the present home rule bill becomes law, seems to have influenced members on both sides of the house, as it has the newspapers. The press of both opinions recently has become more conciliatory in tone than at any previous stage of the discussion. Sir Edward repeated his offer that if Ulster were excluded from the bill "until this Parliament shall determine otherwise" instead of the six-year period which Premier Asquith had offered, he would submit the proposal to the people of Ulster. Georgia Women Endorse President Georgia Women Endorse President. Atlanta, Ga.—Endorsement of the course of President Wilson in Mexico was given here in resolutions adopted by the executive board of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs and approved by E. Dorothy Blount Lemar, president general of the Georgia division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, representing that organization. The two organizations represent 30,000 women in Georgia. For commending the president's action several resolutions were passed by the committee. House Favors Adamson Bill. Washington.-The house interstate commerce committee, it was announced, has decided to make a favorable report on the bill introduced by Representative Adamson of Georgia amending the act regulating the construction of dams across navigable waters. The measure now gives authority to the secretary of war to accommodate communities and derive some revenue for the government from projects constructed wholly at the expense of the government by leasing surplus water.

POSSIBLE MEDIATION SOON Tenseness Over Mexican Trouble is Alleviated by Late Developments of Peacemakers. Washington.—The tenseness of the Mexican situation was distinctly relieved when the representatives of Argentine, Brazil and Chile, supported by pressure from all Latin-America and from ferestmost powers of Europe concentrated their efforts toward a pacific adjustment of the crisis. The success of the first steps toward meditation—the prompt acceptance by the United States and the announcement of the Spanish ambassador that Huerta had accepted the tender of good offices—produced a feeling of distinct hope which was reflected not only in administration quarters, but in Congress where "war talk" gave way to a spirit of conciliation. Throughout the day the three South American envoys who have undertaken the task of mediation held frequent conferences to arrange the preliminaries of procedure. Pending the receipts of the formal acceptance by General Huerta, no proposals will be submitted to either the United States or the Huerta government. It also has been made plain that no conditions from either party as to the terms that will be acceptable as yet has been placed formally before the intermediaries. The president and Secretary Bryan were assured through two separate diplomatic sources that Huerta was ready to accept the tender of good offices and was drafting a formal acceptance. Pressure from Germany, Great Britain and France advising Huerta to accept the first steps toward mediation and the approving attitude of Latin-American countries to the settlement of the controversy by Pan-American diplomacy, emphasized the world-wide influences which are working to bring about peace. THE FLAG WAVES AT VERA CRUZ With Firing of Salute Stars and Stripes Was Formally Raised Vera Cruz.—With all ceremony the firing of a salute and dress parade, the American flag was raised over the division headquarters of Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher. Over the customs house the flag had been flying since the landing of the American forces, but until now there had been no ceremony indicating the formal occupation of Vera Cruz. The transports with Brigadier General Funston's command aboard were off the port, but there has been no indication that the military forces will be sent ashore at this time. If the army lands, the bluejackets now on duty here will go aboard their ships, but the marines will be left for land service. Huerta Takes Railways Washington.—With the exception of the Pan-American Railway extending from Guatemala up the west coast to connection with a Tehauntepec road, General Heurta now is operating with his own men every railroad in Mexico without regard to the rights of foreign owners. He has driven away every foreigner. The last road to be taken over was the Tehauntepec National connecting the Pacific and Atlantic ports of Salina Cruz Contzacalcos. This property is owned by government and Lord Cordray. THE SOUTHERN INDICATOR, COLUMBIA, S. C. MANY REPORTS INVESTIGATED BUT NO NEW INCIDENTS APPEAR. Refugees Swarming to America. General M. A. Miles To Again Serve Country. Washington.—Among the most important happenings of the day in the Mexican situation were: Administration accepted the good offices of Argentine, Brazil and Chile in Mexican situation. American Consul Canada reported that Americans were being detained in Mexico City because it was believed there that Mexicans were restrained by Americans from leaving Vera Cruz. Immediate steps were taken through the British Embassy here and the British legation in Mexico City to correct the impression prevailing in the Mexican Capital. Consul Canada at Vera Cruz sent reports of anti-American demonstrations and general unrest in Mexico City. He heard that 125 Americans were put off a train at Pachueah by the train crew, but that another train had gone out from Mexico City to assist them in continuing their journey to Vera Cruz. Secretary Garrison announced he had issued no orders for any further troop movements and that Army officers were to use their own discretion in protecting international bridges on the border. The German vessel Ypirango, whose consignment of war munitions for General Huerta caused the United States to preemptorily seize the Vera Cruz customs house, was ordered back to Hamburg, Germany, without landing her cargo. The Navy Department dispatched vessels up and down the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts of Mexico to take away American Consuls and refugees generally. Between 3,000 and 3,500 refugees already have been protected or are en route to the United Stats. Secretary Bryan said Charge O'Shaughnessy probably would leave for the United States on the first available ship. Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, retired, senior officer, commanding the Army in the Spanish-American war called on Secretary Garrison and General Wood, and it is understood offered his services should war be declared. It was announced that the interests of the Mexican Embassy here and her consulate; throughout the country would be looked after by the Spanish Embassy and Consulates. Galveston, Tex.-The Tampico situation continued so serious according to a wireless message reaching here that two torpedo-bonts were sent up the Panuco River at Tampico to get Americans. Refugees arriving here from Tampico said they were saved by German sailors. Refugees Flock to America. Washington.—The Navy Department received reports that the steamer Esperanza has left Vera Cruz via Tampico for Galveston, with refugees on board. The Jason also will go to Galveston, shipping at Tuxpan for refugees. The gunboat Nashville was sent south from Vera Cruz to pick up refugees at Puerto Mexico. Reports from Mexico to the Navy Department also stated that refugees were boarding American war vessels at nearly all the ports where ships have been stationed. LAREDO IN RUINS, FIRED BY FEDERALS HUERTA SOLDIERS DEVASTATE MEXICAN CITY WITH DYNAMITE AND FLAMES. FIRE ON THE U. S. SOLDIERS American Soldiers Defend International Bridge Killing Two Mexican Soldiers. Laredo, Texas.—Nuevo Laredo, the Mexican border town opposite here is in ruins, devastated by dynamite and fire set by Mexican Federal soldiers, who began an orgy or destruction which did not end until they were forced to flee southward before the gangs of the American border patrol. Two Mexicans are known to have been killed by the United States troops and several were seen to fall. Several brisk skirmishes between the Americans and Mexicans were fought in quick succession as the Mexicans, their troop trains ready to pull out of the burning city, began an indiscriminate fire across the international boundary, but there is no evidence that their shooting had been effective. Property damage in Nuevo Laredo will reach $500,000. Among the buildings destroyed were the United States Consulate, municipal buildings, post-office, theatre, the flour mill, one of the largest in this section of the southwest, the railroad shops of the Mexican National Railway and other smaller structures. The fire burned all night with no prospect that it would be controlled until everything inflammable had been destroyed. Kerosene and other combustibles liberally used added to the wreckage, which otherwise would not have been great, owing to the adobe construction of most buildings. There was no property loss in Laredo. Both international bridges are safe though efforts to dynamite them resulted in the death of two men engaged in the undertaking. One Mexican was shot by a sharpshooter from the top of the water tower. The Mexican was trying to reach the end of the international foot and wagon bridge. Another was killed when he tried to blow up the Mexican end of the International Railroad bridge. American soldiers are constantly stationed at the American end to prevent such an attack. At the two bridges across the river the guards were reinforced and it was here that the only known loss of life occurred. Battery A of the Third Field Artillery was sent to the power house of the Laredo Electric Company, fearing an attack there, but it was soon seen that there was nothing for them to do. Several Mexicans were seen to fall before the fire from the machine guns, but they were carried away by their comrades. The trains were started and the Federals withdrew firing as long as they could. For some distance the railroad follows the international line. Can Guardsmen Be Sent. Washington.—Proceedings were begun in the supreme court to determine whether the National Guard may be sent to Mexico or other territory outside the United States without first being mustered in as volunteers. The proceedings are in nature of an appeal from the action of Judge Day in the federal court in Northern Ohio in dismissing an action of Lieutenant Colonel Daniel T. Stearn against Adjutant General George H. Wood of the Ohio National Guard. U. S. SOLDIERS ARE SENT TO COLORADO PRESIDENT COMPLIES WITH GOV ERNOR'S REQUEST FOR AID IN STRIKE DISTRICT. Wilson Emphasizes That the Government Has Nothing to Do With "Controversy." Washington.—President Wilson extended the protecting arm of the Federal Government to the state of Colorado, where because of riots and pitched battles between striking miners, Governor Ammons had found the state militia unable to cope with the situation and asked for help. The Colorado delegation in Congress, mine owners and miners themselves joined in the request. It was one of the rare occurrences in American history when a state found itself impotent to assert its authority, but the President, in a telegram to the Colorado Governor, expressly stipulated that the Federal troops would confine themselves to maintaining order only "until the state can re-assert its authority and resume the enforcement thereof." The President issued a proclamation ordering all persons engaged in domestic violence to disperse and "retire peaceably to their abodes." Secretary Garrison after a conference with the President, ordered three troops of the Fifth Cavalry from Fort Leavenworth and two troops of the Twelfth Cavalry from Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, to Trinidad, and Cannon City, respectively. The proclamation read: By the President of the United States of America: A Proclamation: "Whereas, it is provided by the Constitution of the United States that the United States shall protect every state in this union, on application of the Legislature .or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence; "And, whereas, the Governor of the state of Colorado has represented that domestic violence exists in said state, which the authorities of said state are unable to suppress; and has represented that it is impossible to convene the Legislature of this state in time to meet the present emergency; "And, whereas, the laws of the United States require that in all cases of insurrection in any state or of obstruction to the laws theogrof, whenever in the judgment of the President it becomes necessary to use the military forces to suppress such insurrection or obstruction to the laws, he shall forthwith, by proclamation, commend such insurgents to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes within a limited time: "Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States do hereby admonish all good citizens of the United States, and all persons within the territory and jurisdiction of the United States against aiding countenancing, abetting or taking part in such unlawful proceedings; and I do hereby warn all persons engaged in, or connected with, said disturbance and obstruction of the laws to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes on or before the thirtieth day of April, instant. "In testimony wherof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be fixed. "Done at this city of Washington, this twenty-eighth day of April, in the year of Our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and thirty-eighth.

SHE OFTEN PRAYED TO DIE But Friend Comes to Rescue With Some Sound Advice, which was Followed with Gratifying Results. Nettleton, Ark.—"My troubles date back five years," says Mrs. Mary Bentley, of this town. "I was first taken with awful pains in my right side, headache, and backache. The pain from my side seemed to move down my right limb, and settled in the right knee. Then it would move back, and once a month I would almost die with pain. I was told I had tun or, and would have to undergo an operation at once. It just seemed I could not submit to it. I often prayed to die. It seemed that nothing would give me the desired relief, until finally, I was advised by a friend to try Cardul, and it is undoubtedly curing me. I have only used three and a half bottles, and it is a pleasure to tell of the beneficial results. I shall ever spread the good tidings of what Cardul has done for me, and will do for other suffering ladies, if they will only try it."

Mrs. Nnwed—Yes; you see, it takes about $5 worth of other things to make the bread crumbs taste good.—Puck. PAINFUL ECZEMA ON HANDS Blenville, La.—"I was troubled with eczema in my hands for several years. The skin would break and look like it had been cut with a knife and my hands were so soro I could hardly bear to put them in water and could hardly use them. When I used them the blood would run out. They would heal a little and then they would get worse again. They were very mild. Then the eczema got to breaking out on my arms in pimples which itched and burned very badly. "I used different remedies, also used all kinds of facial creams and — on my hands and arms and I did not get, any relief until I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

This, per- haps his most famous, 1s no excep- tion even though it does carry a dou- ble lesson. Who thinks of the older brother when this story is mentioned? ‘Though designated the “Story of tho Prodigal," we necd to remind our- selves that the word “prodigal” never once occurs in the story. The open- ing sentenco speaks of a father and of two sons. It {s really the parable of a perfect father, the unvelling of the true heart of God. Against that background is set off a self-centered son lacking in natural affection. Also alongside tho wayward son 1s the mis- erly, selfish one who lacked all the good qualities of his brother, but who was truly a wanderer and out of har- mony with God the Father. In the background we see the citizens of ‘the far country who helped this young Jew to his place of want, famine and degradation. Remember, it is our lord speaking to Jews. When the Gentiles of the far country sent him to feed swine they insulted him by ‘compelling him to get his living ‘through an occupation instinctively Fepulsive. eS ee Re RO ET NRT: repulsive. First Fruit of Sin. The father makes equar’ partition “divided unto them.” (V, 12) though neither son had a right to demand a partition of his estate. At the bot- Lom of the son's request was a desire to have his own way—to be independ- ent of God. He did not go away from ‘home at once, though his heart was ‘aineady in the “far country.” __{, Into the Far Country, vv. 13-16.

Reing in want does not mean that a man's will has hocn subdued. Some prodigals in tho most abject temporal need are as proud as Lucifer, and boast of their rebellion.

Ho saw his value. Ho was moro important than the servants of his father's home. He saw his fath- er’s love, already manifested in what had been given him and we fain would believe that when he left home he had the father's urgent plea to re turn, He saw a way to escape from his present position. All of this after he “came to himself.” Before that, impenitent, ho was morally insane, now he has reasoned, Isa, 1:18. With his reasoning also came the deter- mination to make a full confession. “I will say unto him," not alone con- fess his need but the fact that he had sinned, This is the only way for a sinner to come to God, Ps. 32:3-5; I John 1:9; Luke 18:11-14. He did not stop with resolving but “he arose and came to his father,” y. 20. He ex- pected to apply for o servant's pos!- tion, but never had the opportunity for the father saw him “a great way oft” and “ran and fell on his neck and Klesed him." Notte the Ise of recon- cillation was given beforo he even had a chance to confess. In his confes- sion his first thought fs that he had sinned against God and then against his earthly father. The father had not onco forgotten him; he “had com- passion" even though the gon was un- mereiful to himself and to all of his loved ones. The father kissed him before ho was washed or otherwise made presentable. Nolther of the sons aro perfect but he who uttered the parable was him- self tho true son of the father. He never departed irom his father, wasted his father's substance, nor brought discredit upon his name. Jesus was in full sympathy with his father's heart for he welcomed the wandering publicans and sinners to himself, took the journey into the far country to find the wanderers and to bring them home. Christ's mission was to bring many “sons to glory” (Heb. 2:10), which means rostoring the wanderer and fulfilling in him the verfectness of sonship.) | i eerie memati ee | c- | CESS) | < a ggg eer For Infante and Children, i." ge ONS 5a oe) H Lao ae The Hind You Have Sp Se ene ‘ ‘ Seooece een Always Bought Ke ALCOHOL~$ PER CENT ANeeciabie Preparation fr As h Ris] simitating fre Food anid ila- | eR tng the Stomachs aud Bowels of j Bears the oO ay BONER a aoe Signature | Promotes Digestion Cheerful- ‘y |] ness and Rest Contains neither of ‘? || Opium.Morphine nor Mineral hi || Nor NARCOTIC i Recipe of Olet Dr SAMUEL PITORER i Pumpkin Seed f | geese.) | Gers.

Who thinks of the older brother when this story is mentioned? ‘Though desixnated the “Story of tho Prodigal,” we need to remind our- selves that Uo word “prodigal” never once occurs in the story. ‘The open- ing sentence speaks of a father and of two sons. It Is really the parable of a perfect father, the unveiling of the true heart of God. Against that background is set off a self-centered son lacking in natural affection. Also nlongside the wayward son Is the mis- erly, selfish one who lacked all the ood qualities of his brother, but who was truly a wanderer and out of har- mony with God the Father. In tho background we see the citizens of the far country who helped this young, Jew to his place of want, famine and degradation. Remember, it is our Lord speaking to Jews. When the Gentiles of tho far country sent him to feed swine they insulted him by compelling him to get. his living through an occupation instinctively onan Pick vies: degradation. Remember, it is our lord speaking to Jews. When tho Gentiles of tho far country sent him lo feed swine they insulted him by compelling him to get his living through an occupation instinctively repulsive. First Fruit of Sin. ‘The father makes equar partition “divided unto them.” (V. 12) though neither son had a right to demand a purtition of his estate. At the bot- tom of the son's request was a desire to have his own way—to be independ- ent of God. He did not go away from home xt onee, though his heart was atngady in the “far country.” i. Into the Far Country, vv. 13-16, Fun is the first fruit of sin, and that the son readily found so loug as his thoney listed (Heb. 11:25). But the conseqnences followed closely on its trail, for when he had “spent all" he Pesan to be ia “want.” There aro Many attractive things about this young ni. but those qualities wero Fnerverted, they Iseked contre!, they wero goud servants but bad task: masters. It is not always physical, temporal want that comes to the sin- ner, there are deeper and moro in- tense longings—-soul want and soul hunger. These always come to the soul away from God. Reing in want does net mean that a mun’s will has been subdued. Some prodisats in the most abject temporal need are. as proud as Lucifer, and boast of their rebelhon. So he “joined himself to a citizen of the country.” Ie did not belong there—the citizen did. He was set to the most degrading task fin- aginable for a Jew—feeding swine. Like a Lost Sheep. WW. The Home Coming, vv. 17-24. The first stop was for the son to stop and really think. ‘That is where sal- vation aivays begins—in thinking. He knew he was iost, @. g. out of adjust- ment, in the wreng place, out of his element and like the lost sheep, “ready to die." He saw his condi- tion, money gone, friends gone, hogs Tor companions, no food for his sus- tenance, He saw his value, He was moro important than the servants of his father’s home. He saw his fath- er's love, already manifested In what had been given him and we fain would believe that when he left home he had the father's urgent plea to re- turn. He saw a way to escape from his present position, AIL of this after he “camo to himself.” Before that, impenitent, be was morally insane, now he has reasoned, Isa, 1:18. With his reasoning also came the deter- mination to make a full confesston. “1 will say unto him," not alono con- fess his need but the fact that he had ‘sinned. This is the only way for a sinner to come to God, Ps. 32:3-5; [John 1:9; Luko 18:11-l4. He did ,hot stop with resolving but “he arose and came to his father," v, 20, He ex- “pected {o apply for a servant's posi- ‘tion, but never had the opportunity ‘for the father saw him “a great way oft” and “ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.” Notice the hiss of recon- -cillation was given boforo he even had |a chance to confess. In his confes: sion his first thought is that he had ‘sinned against God and then against ‘is earthly father, ‘The father had ‘not onco forgotten him; ho “had com. passion” even though the son wes un- -mereiful to himself and to all of his ‘loved ones, ‘The father kissed him ‘before hy was washed or otherwise “made presentable, Neither of the sons are perfect but Fhe who uttered the parable was him. self the true son of the father.

In labor unions there is sometimes strength and sometimes weak- ness, Labor has as much right to organize as-capital has. Observation leads us to con- clude that it matters not how good is the organization or how beneficent is the object or pur- pose, if bad or morally weak men are at the head, more harm than good will be accomplished. Labor is usually more preju- diced on account of class or color than is capital. Labor bars Ne- groes from its organizations when it can. Capital rarely does so. The strike in Colorado has be- come a civil war. The strikers appear to be in the wrong. Pres- ident Wilson has on his hands a civil war which in some respects is more rerplexing than the war with Mexico. By asking the aid of the Rockefellers, the presi- dent has indicated his inability to deal with the situation. Oh for a Grover Cleveland or Theo- dore Roosevelt at this time! Latin--American Statesmen or: the Job. It looks now :as though the statesmen of Latin America, or at least of Argentina. Brazil and Chile, are widening the scope of their intermediations, ‘and wish to take up for consideration the entire Mexican situation. We believe the powers of Eu- rope will give their moral sup- Port to this. With Mr. secretary Bryan as an apostle of the Prince of Peace the indications are now that there will not be a cruel, need- less and bloody war between this country and Mexico, for which we are devoutly thankful, The Slit Skirt. “To the Editor of The State: “Iam not favorably impressed with slit skirts, or I do not, ap- prove of ladies wearing them. hate to see a lady wearing one. Irefrain from expressing fully my objections to the slit skirt. Iwill say this: Ido not know that my wife wants one~if she does just let her get one and put it on and wear it before the pub- iie, then you will see an account of our separation in the papers. I wish the public generally to understand that. I am not dis- cussing their wearing of ‘“‘slit skirts’? when I speak of my at- titude to the wearing of one by my wife. I am_ only trying to impress the public with the fact that my family knows I am at the head of our family and wheth- er I try to ‘‘boss’’ gr not, 1 am regarded as ‘“‘boss’’ as pertain- ing to ridiculous things or any- thing else. Now, a word to the heads of other families; If you will take the same stand (as to slit skirts) that I have taken, they will'go out of styleat once. Not that we would cast any re- flection upon any lady who wears a slit skirt, but hoping they will soon see the ridiculous- ness of wearing one, as even the black female race are heard to re- mark ‘It don’t loak good to me’,”” “B.S. Moody.” The foregoing, taken from our esteemed contemporary, hits the nail on the head, or rather, hits the skirt on the slit. ‘‘The black female race’? must feel complimented; for ‘‘the black female race are hzard to remark, ‘It don’t look good to me.’’? Now if it be in order, we would ‘ike to hear from tha brown female race and the yelbw female race and (wouldn’t’ it delight our hearts also to hear from) the white female race. For what- ever the white female race may have to say on the slit skirt, question is bound togo. Brother Moody, ‘stir up the white femole race for us on this question, and when you get themto join with “the black female race’’ and say itt don’t look good to me,’’ then it is good by to the slit skirt. Most men of the black male race and every other shade or coler of the male race abominate the slit skirt, if wern by their wives, their mo‘lyers, their daughters or their sisters; but they happen in many instances not to be the heads but the fig- ure-heads of their families. We welcome the deliverance of Mr. Moody and hope it will result in good. We also take off our hats to ‘‘the black female race,’’ and say with them, ‘‘It don’t look good to me.’”’ We wish to re- mark in conclusion that being a member of the male race we are not courting a fight with the fe- male race, for we recognize ‘‘that the female of the species is more deadly than the male.’’ COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM.

Civil War in Colorado in union there is strength. In labor unions there is sometimes strength and sometimes weak- ness, Labor has as much right to organize as.capital has. Observation leads us to con- clude that it matters not how good is the organization or how beneficent is the object or pur- pose, if bad or morally weak men are at the head, more harm than good will be accomplished. Labor is usually more ‘preju- diced on account of class or,color than is capital. Labor bars Ne- groes from its organizations when it can. (apital rarely does so. The strike in Colorado has be- come a civil war. The strikers appear to be in the wrong. Pres- ident Wilson has on his hands z civil war which in some respects is more perplexing than the wat with Mexico, By asking the aid of the Rockefellers, the presi- dent has indicated his inability to deal with the situation. Ol for a Grover Cleveland or Theo dore Roosevelt at this time! Latin--American Statesmen or the Job. It looks. now :as though the statesmen of Latin America, or at least of Argentina. Brazil and Chile, are widening the scope of their intermediations, “and wish to take. up for. consideration the entire Mexican situation. We believe the powers of Eu- rope will give their moral sup- ‘port to this, With Mr. secretary Bryan as an apostle of the Prince of Peace the indications are now that there will notbe acruel, need- less and bloody war between this country and Mexico, for which we are devoutly thankful, The Slit Skirt.
