Gaffney, S. C. March 31—The tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington through the State of South Carolina was a veritable "march of triumph." Every honor that America's most unique Commonwealth could bestow, and every courtesy that a hospitable people could extend, were showered upon "The Wizard of Tuskegee" from the moment he and his party of representative men entered the State at Rock Hill on Sunday, March 14. until the close of the kaleidoscopic itinerary on Sunday night, March 21. The trip covered the principal cities of South Carolina, embracing formal receptions at Rock Hill, Winsboro, Columbia, Denmark, Orangeburg, Camden, Sumter, Florence, Charleston, Anderson, Greenville and Gaffney besides numerous stops at intermediate points en route, where the people turned out by hundreds to hear the words of encouragement from the great educator, who spoke to them from the rear platform of the special car in which the party traveled PROF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. At every station visited, Dr. Washington was received with wild acclaim. Brass bands played their liveliest airs; school children waved flags and carried banners upon which were inscribed striking quotations from the "Wizard's" speeches: the masses, white and black, cheered every significant utterance to the echo, and many deemed it a proud privilege to be allowed to catch even a fleeting glimpse of him as he was swiftly whirled from town to town. The big meetings were attended by the leading white people of the various cities, who vied with their colored brethren in making Dr. Washington welcome within their gates. Not since emancipation has any event so completely taken possession of the Negro's attention in this state as the visit of this wonderful man. Coming at a time when the race is beset by many fears for its future and filled with grave apprehension over its civic status, the message of hope brought by the eminent tribune of the people was heard gladly, enthusiastically, helpfully. He spoke as one inspired by Divinity, and the effect of his earnest exhortations for patience, peace, good will, industry, and morality, is being felt already, in every section of the state. Not only is South Carolina uplifted, but throughout the length and breadth of the land there is plainly evident a new determination on the part of the right-thinking Negroes to go forward to make the best of the rich opportunities offered by the soil, by the trades, in business, in the school room, in the pulpit and in professional life. Not only has the Negro been heartened and strengthened by the optimistic addresses of Dr. Washington, but the thousands of influential whites who have listened with absorbing interest to his comprehensive statement of his position on the so-called "race problem" have given convincing evidence of their belief in the soundness of his views. As a result of his plain, practical, heart-to-heart talks, there is a stronger sense of kinship between the two races in all parts of the Commonwealth, and an impulse for genuine progress has been generated that bodes well for the whole people. In making the arrangements—so capably handled by Rev. Richard Carroll, of Columbia, and Mr. W. T. Andrews, of Sumter, two of the most potent factors in the development of our people in the State—not a single element in South Carolina's cosmopolitan population was overlooked. Professional and business men have touched elbows with the farmer and mechanic; queens of society have listened in common with the cook and the laundress. All have been instructed, entertained, thrilled by the magnetic orator's broad philosophy, homely truths and infectious humor. Press and public agree that he leaves behind him the spirit of mutual helpfulness between the races that will manifest itself in a sympathetic cooperation that invariably follows in the wake of a better understanding of what one class of citizens owe to another class. Dr. Washington's coming has done great good to all concerned. His tour has been an "eye-opener" to those who accompanied him and an inspiration to those who were fortunate enough to hear his cheering words. Last fall, Dr. Washington made an extended tour of Mississippi, which was reagrded by the country as a distinct epoch in the history of that state. Previously he had paid a series of visits to points in Oklahoma, and Arkansas, with a view of stimulating the educational, industrial, commercial and agricultural aspirations of the colored people. The happy results growing out of these tours so forcibly appealed to Dr. Carroll and Mr. Andrews that they opened negotiations with the "Wizard," looking to the perfection of a plan by which the land of Wade Hampton and Matthew C. Butler might enjoy the benefit of a similar "Swing around the circle." Men of national prominence in various callings, who stand high in the esteem and confidence of their fellows, were invited to accompany Dr. Washington upon this memorable trip, as an object-lesson of what the energetic Negro may accomplish is spite of race or color, if he is willing to lend his talents to working out concrete achievements. The membership of Dr. Washington's immediate party included the "Wizard," Mr. Emmett J. Scott, one of the race's most useful factors; a versatile genius who has won an enviable name for himself through his unselfish labors for the advancement of his people along many lines, and for more than a decade the faithful, loyal private secretary of Dr. Washington; Mr. J. H. Washington, Superintendent of Industries at Tuskegee Institute; Dr. J. A. Kenney, resident physician at Tuskegee; Mr. Nathan Hunt, of Tuskegee, stenographer to the "Wizard;" Bishop George Wylie Clinton, of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, one of the most widely known and most scholarly prelates the race has ever produced; Major R. R. Hoten, Commandant of Cadets at Hampton Institute, and Secretary of the Jeannes Fund for rural schools in the South; Professor W. T. B. Williams, of Hampton Institute, agent of the Slater Educational Fund; Dr. R. E. Park, of Boston, a noted magazine writer and literateur; Mr. C. Stewart, the only regularly employed correspondent to represent the As- THEATERS JIM CROW DO IT AGAIN. I LIKE IT? COLOR LINE CERTAIN JIM CROW ENTERPRISES IN WASH. DC. M.C.

Dr. Carroll gave his attention to the personal welfare of the party and Mr. Andrews looked after the traffic arrangements. The South Carolinians who assisted in escorting the company through the state, were: Rev. E. D. White and Editor C. P. T. White, of Rock Hill; C. F. Holmes, of Orangeburg; T. A. Williams, of Newberry; Dr. H. H. Brawley, and Z. E. Walker, of Sumter; Rev. J. J. Durham and Cyrus Campfield, of Aiken, Rev. I. E. Lowery, Dr. J. H. Goodwin, J. H. Garner, R. W. Weatbury, and Rev. H. W.Taylor, of Columbia; Rev. W. H. Fleming, of Winnsboro; Dr. J. R. Levy, and Postmaster J. E. Wilson, of Florence; J. W. Payton, Rev. B. W. Bowen, of Lexington; together with Messrs. John Merrick, presid endn,tafrd bm John Merrick, president and C. C. Spaulding, secretary, of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, a prosperous insurance corporation with headquarters at Durham, North Carolina. The object of the tour was to enable these gentlemen to study racial conditions at first hand, and to endeavor to make some suggestions that might tend to cement the relations of the races, promote a greater degree of harmony and to unify the forces that touch directly the economic and ethical growth of the state. AT ROCK HILL The "Washington Party" reached Rock Hill, the first stopping place, early Sunday morning, coming on from Charlotte, where the Doctor and several of his personal staff had been royally entertained the evening be- fore at the beautiful home of Bishop and Mrs. Clinton. Carriages awaited the visitors and they were soon installed in the comfortable homes of the good people of the city. The local committee in charge of affairs was made up of Editor C. P. T. White, of the Rock Hill Messenger, Chairman; Rev. J. L. Beach, secretary; Rev. T. S.G ilmore, at whose home Dr. Washington was the guest of honor; Rev. M.] P., Hall, Dr. I. A. Macon, Rev. W. H. Robinson, Rev. J. R. Izzard, Rev. A. Lewis, Rev. J. T. Wright, Professor H. H. Mobley and Professor I. W. Baubware. A number of the visitors spoke at the churches at the morning services. At 1:30, Friedham's Hall was packed with a crowd anxious to hear Dr. Washington's address. Of the 2000 persons present, fully one-fourth were white. They represented the very best element of the professional, business and social life of the city, and throughout the tour the same was true of every audience that the Doctor faced. Editor White acted as master of ceremonies, introducing Mayor J. H. Roddy, who delivered an earnest and laudatory address of welcome, pronouncing the Tuskegeean the "foremost Negro in the world today," and praising his work as the most effective solvent of the race problem. In the course of his remarks, Mayor Roddy said: "I believe that Booker T. Washington is a worthy man; I believe he is an honest man; and more than all; I believe he is a good man. His work speaks for him in a language that cannot be misunderstood. His GROWS. STEADILY There are 15,333 members of the Protestant Episcopal church of Washington, according to the figures given in the official directory of that church, just issued here. Statistics are given for forty churches of the Capital and the total number of communicants includes both white and colored. The Church of the Epiphany, on G street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, is credited with a greater number of communicants than any other in the city. The total for this church is 1,274. Trinity Parish with 1,054 communicants ranks second; St. John's Parish with an even 1,000 is third, and St. Paul's Parish with 965 is fourth. St. Philip's Chapel (colored), of Anacostia, is shown to have the small-cestnumber of communicants. It is given forty-two. St. Barnabas' at Langdon, has but fifty-five. All Saints' Chapel, at Benning, with fifty-two, and several other churches or parishes in the suburbs had but comparatively few communicants. The number of communicants for the Washington churches follows: Church of the Ascension, 504. Calvary Chapel, 64. Chapel of the Good Shepherd, 543. All Saints' Chapel, Benning, 52. Nativity, 82.

Negro Business, Leagues have recently been organized at Pulaski, Gallatin, Springfield, and Clarkesville, Tennessee, by the organizer of Business Leagues. Through the influence of the Negro Business League at Bristol, Tennessee,—Virginia; no fewer than twenty business concerns are in operation in that town. Among the most important and flourishing are the A. L. Whitten Coal Company, doing an annual business of $3,500; the Brown-Doubt Funeral Directory, 431 Sycamore street, and the Bristol Enterprise Trading Company, 429 Sycamore street. The latter is a jointstock syndicate of twenty members, incorporated and doing business in a new two-story brick building on one of the principal thoroughfares in the city. The ground and building cost about $4,000, in which there is a stock of groceries, dry goods and notions valued at $3,000. Mr. William H. Brown is the general manager. One of the most interesting business ventures in this progressive little town is the "Woman's Enterprise Company," composed of ten women, with Mrs. F. W. Woodfin, the wife of the principal of the Normal School of that place, as president. It is a small grocery, well supplied, opened about six months ago. Within this time, business has been so flourishing that the promoters are now contemping moving into larger quarters and increasing their stock of goods. Mr. Robert E. Clay is the wideawake, energetic and popular president of the Local League, and is more over thoroughly imbued with a progressive spirit and ambition for the advancement of his people along industrial and commercial lines. Professor J. N. Ervin, of Johnson City, Tennessee, is not only an active and efficient school man (he is principal of the city High School), but also very much interested in the starting of business enterprises among his people in his town. It was through his untiring effort that a Local League was organized in Johnson City, where there are several business firms which need only the unifying effort of a well managed organization to cause them to feel what they are capable of doing not only for themselves, but for the community at large. Mr. J. H. Langly, the leading barber here, is president of the League. He is the fortunate possessor of valuable real estate in the corporate limits. Professor J. W. Oveltrea, although principal of the Normal and Industrial Institute at Harriman, Tennessee, is also very much interested in the material welfare of his people. A year or so ago he took the necessary steps and organized a Local Negro Business League of which he is president. The organization, under his sane and skillful guidance has accomplished something and is destined to do even more towards creating an interest in starting new business in that town. At Shelbyville, Tennessee, lives Dr. William Key, the owner and trainer of the celebrated "Beautiful Jim Key," the educated horse, which achieved a national reputation on account of being taught to read, spell, make change at the cash drawer, distribute mail, etc. In nearly every state in the Union this famous horse has given exhibitions. Dr. Key is the proud possessor of a beautiful gold medal which was given him by a life member of the American Humane Education Society. Its president, George T. Angell, presented this valuable medal to Dr. Key, in the Mechanics Building, Boston, Massachusetts, November 1, 1901, in recognition of the great service he had rendered humanity through the education of this wonderful horse ("Jim Key") which has led more than 200,000 boys and girls to pledge themselves to always be kind to animals. Dr. Key once refused $10,000 for this animal. He told us that he had realized about $50,000 from his exhibitions in different sections of the country. The greater portion of the sum he invested in city real estate and in a very valuable farm of 2,000 acres, remarkable for its fertility. "Jim Key" is still living at the advanced age of twenty years or more. But the unfortunate creature is "out of commission," being injured in a wreck in Kansas City, Missouri, about two years ago. However, he is mercifully and tenderly cared for during his misfortune in his last days, as he is housed in one of the most comfortable and costly stables that we have ever seen. He still remembers his old tricks, and t truly pitiful to observe him as he es to perform them under the guidance of his affectionate and devoted master. Dr. Key is much interested in the work of the National Business League and is also an active member of the local branch. Mr. W. H. Goslin, the president, does a large grocery business in a brick block, which he owns, valued at probably $12,000. In Columbia, Tennessee, Mr. A. C. Simmons is the proprietor of a very respectable and decent looking cafe in a splendid two-story press brick establishment on one of the main streets. The owner is the Rev. Dr. J. W. Johnson, president of Roger Williams College at Nashville, Tennessee. The structure is easily worth $10,000. Send for The Rea if you want a live paper. _ 7 a 5 an _.. lappy Thoughts.

"One of the latest schemes of the counterfeit money swindlers is to show guillible people a machine with which they can print for themselves large size bills, imitative of Government currency," said Capt. S. F. Kholes, formerly of the secret service. "This money producing machine has a smooth demonstrator who will, after getting a prospective victim interested, turn the crank and grind out a $20 note, which, it is needless to say, is genuine. The victim shows the bill to a bank cashier, and hears it pronounced good, and his mercenary nature being aroused, he sees visions of gigantic wealth, and hands over to Mr. Sharpur $500, or at least $250, for the instrument that is going to make him a Rookefeller. It is needless to say that the subsequent specimens turned out are such miserable imitations that they would hardly fool a blind man, but the ignoramus is in a place where he can't make a roar for his lost money. The Swaying Skyscraper. Through the chance of perfect adjustment in the way of balance, of a row of large photographs that hang on a wall or an office building down town the clerks in the place have a good deal of quiet amusement with persons who visit the place for the first time. Owing to this balance the pictures are easily swayed by the wind that blows through the open windows and since the office force goes in for fresh air the year round the pictures are never still. The joke lies in catching the harried expression on the faces of the callers when they get a sight of the swinging frames. Then it is always explained with due solumalty, if the boss is not around that the swaying of the frames is due to the oscillation of the structure. It usually takes some time for the object of the joke to see the point. Meanwhile he has suffered a considerable shock. M. Y. World. Odd South American Animals Many curious animals mount the marshy parts of South America north of the pampas. Frogs big and fierceous, given to making vicious springs when closely approached; the capybara, a cavy "contented with the bulk of a sheep"; the huge copypat and the swarthy piglike tapir are frequently seen. Along the forest margins troops of peccaries are often met with, occasionally the jaguar sometimes the puma, likewise that toothless curiosity, the great and bear, long in claw, long nosed and remarkably long tongued. A familiar object is the great jabirn, a stork with a preference for the desolate harems, where it may often be observed statuasque on one leg and wrapped in prosecution.—Scotsman. The Ginkgo Tree. Studies by Miss M. C. Stopes of the fossil fern of Scotland have shown that the glapko or maldenhair, tree, a native of Japan and China, which is cultivated in Europe and this country on account of its remarkable foliage, belongs to an extremely ancient family, of which it is now, apparently, the last surviving representative. At one time it seems to have been widely spread. A singular fact is that the fossil speciens of the gingko, found in the rock beds of the Inferior Colits series, at Bres, Scotland, are so similar to the Ewing trees that at first sight no difference is apparent. Only an examination of the structure of the cells reveals a variation.—Youth's Companion. For Pressing Flatten. Flirts. Plaited Skirts which have been washed are difficult to press. Time and expense may be saved by having the work done after the following method, which is fo. woolen skirts especially: Before the skirt has become badly creased or rumpled run a basting thread, using short, even stitches, down the entire length of each crease which marks the folds of the plaits. By this means, after the skirt has been washed, the proper location of each lest can readily be determined, and the pressing done successfully. Balzac in Church Pew. The woman who had left a volume of Balzac in the church pew on prayer meeting night felt a little bit ashamed when she asked for the book, but the sexton assured her she need not feel that way. "Many things are left in the church," he said, "and some of them, are a whole lot less respectable than Balzac. After each service the pews yield a strange grist of forgotten or discarded articles." A Clever Bear. A noted ethnologist observed in Vienna a bear deliberately making with his paw, a current in some water which was close to the bars of his cage so as to draw a piece of floating bread within his reach. These actions of the bear could hardly be attributed to instinct or inherited habit, as they would be of little use to an animal in a state of nature. Quill Teothpickx. The largest quill toothpick factory in the world is near Paris, where there is an annual product of 20,000,000 quilts. The factory was started to make quill pens, but when these went out of general use it was converted into a toothpick mill.

You never mention in your paper any of the crimes that the colored people are committing; you rather seem to condone their offences—you have never said one word against the Negro villians who murdered the Artist Shultz in such a brutal manner. From your editorials in The Bee, I should think they would be encouraged to commit crime. You turn all decent white people against you. For myself, I have always sympathized with the good, honest-colored people—I give a check every year to the Social Colored Settlement, but after reading your articles, I am tempted never to give another cent to help the colored people in any way. You could do a great deal of good, if you would give advice to the young colored men who make their living by knocking down white ladies and robbing them of their purses, and if white people see you are trying to prevent crime, they would feel encouraged to add their efforts to yours and make this respectable community. A. Well Wisher to Colored People. The Editor of The Bee has been charged and indicted by an anonymous writer with condoning crimes and offenses committed by his people.. If there is one thing the Editor of The Bee is not guilty of it is this charge and no one knows it better than the people of this country. To the contrary, the Editor of The Bee has never lost an opportunity to condemn crimes and other offenses committed by his people, no matter how high or how low they may be. The Bee lias condemned the colored pulpit for its lack of interest in the offences committed by all classes of people, and especially the colored people. Why should The Bee condone such a brutal crime as that perpetrated upon that helpless victim. It was a most cowardly murder and no punishment would be too severe. The Bee said last week that the colored people should not patronize those theaters that discriminate against the colored people. Perhaps the anonymous writer, who signs himself "A Well Wisher," takes exception to such advice, because that is about all The Bee said last week in the way of advice to the colored people. If this is what you call condoning offenses, then The Bee is guilty. "A W! Wisher" is undoubtedly a white man, and he is too much of a coward to sign his name. The Bee has nothing to retract on the charge made against it. The people in this community know that it never takes sides with the wrong or with oppression. The Bee publishes 'A Well Wisher's" letter so that the world may know what a coward he is. He could not have given very much to the colored people, because if he had, and believes in the word of God, he would do good for evil. The writer is able to see what the colored people do but is unable to detct the wrong doings of white people. "Well Wisher" seems to have lost sight of the crimes committed by his people, not only towards the colored people but against their own race. The colorde man is no worse than the white man. The colored man is fast being taught all the meanness that the white man possesses. The only thing the colored man is deficient in is, he had not learned as yet to carry away a bank, a trust company, or a gold mine. When he gets there then there will be no more difference between a white and a colored man. The Capitol police are warned to lookout for an individual who is begging money from Senators and Congressmen for the alleged purpose, he-claims, of going to Liberia. Under the vagrancy law this individual can be arrested and be required to give bond until he finds some legitimate occupation. This is a city for fake enterprises, agents, collectors and schemers. Members of Congress should be protected against fake newspaper agents and some-time Editors. The very first place these schemers make for is the Capitol. All of them have plausible yarns. Generally they will claim that they are from a Senator's home or district; that they intend to publish a paper in the Congressman's town and a contribution would be acceptable. One of these individuals called at the Capitol last week, making one of his bogus rounds, when suddenly he "knocked" The Bee and one of its representatives to a distinguished Senator, who informed this vogus "Negro" that he knew The Bee and its Capitol representative better than he did. President Taft has appointed a commission to go to Liberia, and if there are other persons collecting money for this purpose they should be immediately arrested and locked up, and charged with vagrancy. The people of this city have been imposed upon long enough by bogus agents and bugus enterprises. The Capitol police are warned to look out for every bogus coward. ToursSouthCarolina (Continued from page 1.) singleness of purpose has withstood the wear and tear of years. The most rigid investigation tails to disclose the slightest flaw in his make-up. He is genuine to the core. Had he not been all that he professed to be, he could not have lived through the merciless criticism and trying ordeals that have been his portion. He could not have won the world's approval amid the white light of public attention if he had not labored along the right path and achieved results that elevated both races. In the language of a great statesman 'You can fool all of the people some of the time; and you can fool some of the people all the time; but you cannot fool all the people all the time.' Booker T. Washington is showing his people and mine the true solution of the mighty problem that white and black are anxious to solve." Mayor Roddy set a warm pace and other speakers who followed expressed the hope that his speech would stand as an example of what the officials in other cities along the route would feel impelled to say as the party made its way through the state. Dr. Washington said he could wish nothing better than to have the words of the Mayor inscribed as an epitaph on his gravestone when he shall have been gathered unto his fathers. Rev. Richard Carroll delivered an excellent address introducing Dr. Washington, and put everybody in a good humor by his witty saliies and bluff, hearty, frank way of putting things before his audience. Mrs. Ella M. Toole, in addition to directing the choral music, rendered a solo in admirable style, and other selections were presented by Messrs. Henry Farmer, William Jackson and R.-S. Ambrose. At the conclusion of the exercises a toothsome dinner was served in honor of the visitors at the Booker T. Washington Hotel. THE MESSAGE OF THE APOSTLE OF INDUSTRY It can not be doubted that a new "era of good feeling" is dawning in consequence of this wholesome visitation of the world's greatest Negro and princely evangel of peace. MAJOR MOTON INTRODUCES AN evening meeting was scheduled for Winnsboro on Sunday, and when the party reached the St. Paul Baptist church in that thriving little town they found it filled to its utmost capacity, despite the inclement weather and an accident to the electric light service which left the town in pitch darkness. About 900 persons were present. The balcony was occupied by white citizens of the neighborhood, and they gave vigorous endorsement of Dr. Washington's remarks, Rev. W. B. Fleming, pastor of the church, presided and Bishop Clinton offered prayer. The music by the choir was well-rendered and for the first time on the trip, Major Moton, of Hampton Institute, who has a wonderfully sweet tenor voice and can beat the world singing Negro songs, led in the singing of a number of the charming "folksongs" which Dr. Dvorak has described as the "typical American melodies. "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," "We are Climbing Jacob's Ladder," "Steal Away," and "If You Love God Serve Him." were some of the selections in his repertoire and from this time on, at every meeting, there was an insistent demand for folk-songs by the silver-voiced Major, who in the portrayal of the heart throbs of our ancestors on the Southern plantations "befo' de wah." has no equal on the continent. The committee in charge of the proceedings at Winnsboro comprised Rev. W. B. Fleming, Rev. U. S. Rice, Rev. G. S. Springs, Rev. H. L. Harre, A. F. Manigault, E. D. Henry, and J. W. Russell, all of whom continued with the party to Columbia, the proud capital of this picturesque Commonwealth. A BIG DAY AT THE CAPITAL Much was expected of "Fair Columbia," the home of Dr. Richard Carroll, where he holds the people, black and white, in the hollow of his hands, because they know him, love him and have confidence in his integrity and lofty public spirit. The citizens more than lived up to their reputation for open-handed hospitality. The party was met at depot by a delegation, headed by the excellent band from Benedict College, and to the strains of martial music, all were driven in spick and span carriages to their abiding places. Dr. Washington and personal staff went to the suburban mansion of Dr. Carroll, was served one of the best dinners ever cooked in a South Carolina home, Mrs. Carroll was assisted in entertaining by Dr. Ruth Carroll, her charming daughter, who is a graduate of the Medical School at Nashville, and who has practiced at Rome, Georgia. In the afternoon a reception was held for Dr. Washington at the First Calvary Baptist Church, of which Dr. E. A. M. Cheek is pastor. Dr. Washington delivered another eloquent address. Following the exercises, after the 1500 persons had shaken the "Wizard's hand and wished him God-speed, six street cars were placed at the disposal of the party an all took a highly enjoyable ride through the principal thoroughfares of the city and to the growing suburbs, viewing imposing structures erected by Negro contractors and inspecting a large tract of land designed for colored home-buyers, known as "Booker Washington Heights." Group trips were made to Benedict College, Carroll's Orphanage and the Taylor Lane Hospital, a well-equipped institution, conducted by Dr. Matilda Evans, whose services are in great demand by the "quality" of both races because of her skill as a surgeon. Dr. Evans, Dr. C. W. Rhodes, and Dr. C. W. Burney, all own automobiles of the latest pattern, valued at $1,000 each, and it is a pleasing sight to see them speeding up and down the tree lined streets, looking after the health of their many patients. At night Columbia Opera House was packed from pit to dome, and the seats allotted to the white people were exhausted long before the hour set for the meeting to begin. The attendance was estimated at 2,200. After the invocation by Rev. J. J. Durham, of Aiken, Bishop Clinton felicitously introduced Dr. Washington as "the foremost man of his race and a foremost statesman in the anna's of American history, regardless of race." Acknowledging the enthusiastic Chau-tauqua salute, Dr. Washington delivered a telling address, the most emphatic point of which was his refutation of the alleged belief said to exist in some quarters that the Negro is seeking to thrust himself into the social life of the white people. He ridiculed the antics of a certain cult who try to frighten well-meaning whites with the bugaboo of "social equality," asserting that the self-respecting Negro had no wish to invade the sacred precincts of any home where he was not wanted, and added with considerable warmth, that the right minded Negro is just as proud of his racial integrity as any white man can be of his own antecedents, history or ideals. At Chester, a splendid town, en route to Columbia, 3000 people gathered at the station to greet the train as it pulled in and in response to loud calls, Dr. Washington stopped and delivered a ten-minute address. There, as at many other stops on the way, the populace crowded about the rear platform of the train, perched themselves in branches of trees, sat or stood upon freight cars, and on top or houses and filled all the windows within hearing of the distinguished tourist's voice. WHERE THE "TUSKEGEE Denmark was next. It was here that Elizabeth Evelyn Wright, a graduate of Tuskegee, frail of body, but determined in mind, eleven years ago, founded on this spot the Voorhees Industrial School, and today the institution is one of the largest and most prosperous of the chain of industrial schools growing out of the massive bee-hive in Alabama's Black Belt. Dr. Washington had never been here before and he was glad to have the opportunity to behold the great results that this child of Tuskegee had wrought. The school has 400 acres of land, 15 buildings and is worth $50,000. The genuine "Tuskegee Spirit" here abounds as vigorously as upon its native heath and the Tuskegee colors were in evidence everywhere on the campus. The speaking took place after dinner on a stand erected near the principal building. It was profusely decorated with the American colors, and fine samples of farm pro- diefs, such as mammoth cabbages, and sweet potatoes, turnips, onions, corn, etc., were on exhibition. The crowd, numbering about 4000, was made up chiefly of farmers, many of whom had come from the distant points in the county utilizing all sorts of conveyances to bring them to see the patron saint of industrial training. Professor G. B. Miller acted as master of ceremonies. Rev. J. F. Coleman read the scripture lesson, and Rev. I. E. Lowery offered prayer, after which the speaker of the hour was introduced by Ex-Senator S. C. Mayfield, (white,) the wealthiest land-owner in the county, whose generosity to Elizabeth Wright the school owes its beginning. Senator Mayfield lauded Dr. Washington and paid a glowing tribute to the energy and womanly virtues of Miss Wright, later the wife of the present head of the school, Professor Martin A. Menafee, also a graduate of Tuskegee. He told how one good man starts an endless chain of blessings. Hampton gave us Booker T. Washington, he said; Washington gave us Tuskegee and Tuskegee produced an Elizabeth Wright. If there had not been a General Armstrong, we would not have had a Booker T. Washington; if there had not been a Booker Washington, we would not have had an Elizabeth E. Wright. Dr. Washington spoke with unusual plainness to his farmer friends for more than an hour, and fervent "amens" were heard from the lips that recognized the truth of his homely philosophy. Bishop Clinton delivered one of the best addresses of his series here and Major Moton led the jubilee singing. A collection of $30 was taken up and presented to the school. On the way to Denmark, a brief stop was made at Blackville and the Tuskegeean talked to 500 people, some of whom were colored engineers, firemen, brakemen, and railroad yard employees who are numerous in this little railroad junction town. On the way to Orangeburg, a stop was made at Hamburg, and later at Branchville, where the Mayor welcomed the party. AT SOUTH CAROLINA'S Orangeburg is South Carolina's greatest seat of learning. The immens Claflin University, fostered by the Methodist Episcopal Church, North, is there in all its glory, and the State Colored College of South Carolina, handsomely equipped and growing in strength and influence born from the activities and consecrated zeal of former Congressman Thomas E. Miller, is next door. Tingley Hall, the new building given by a northern philanthropist named Tingley, is one of the finest school buildings in the country. Shortly after the arrival of the special, a meeting was held in Webster Hall, Claflin University, and addresses were delivered by Rev. W. H. Moses, of the Foreign Missionary service of the eNational Baptist Convention. Charles Stewart, W. T. B. Williams and others. Mr. Stewart, a honorist of note, made a pronounce-reputation. In the the morning the ed hit and added to an already big reputation. In the morning, the chapel of the StateCollege was crowded with happy-faced students and a scholarly looking faculty, and all listened with attention to speeches by President Miller, Bishop Clinton B. Stewart and R. W. Thompson. At eleven o'clock a large audience assembled in Webster Hall to hear him tell the story of the Negro's upward march. The students had a yell for the occasion, testifying to the greatness of Washington. In the parquet seats and on the rostrum were fully 800 white citizens, who gave the speaker their undivided attention. Dr Durham's classic introduction of Dr. Washington, a fraternal talk by President L. M. Dunton, a splendid rendition of the famous sextette from "Luccia di Lammermoor," and a solo by Miss Flora Wallace, and drives through the town after adjournment, were distinctly enjoyable features of the day. Dr. Washington was the guest of Mr. Levy, a successful business man of the city. The train was two hours late in reaching Camden, said to be the oldest, poorest and proudest town in the State, but an audience that compleely filled the Opera House waited patiently until the party arrived and the "Wizard" held the people spell-bound, as usual, for an hour and a half. As at all other points, the attendance of the whites was large, and they were especially demonstrative here in oicing their approval of the Tuskegee's hard, common sense policies Dr. Carroll-made a striking talk and had his usual bit of fun with his white friends, who always like to hear his witticisms, even if he "knocks" them a bit in some tender places. AT "SUMTER, THE SUPERB" No place in South Carolina has better people of both races than Sumter. A cordial welcome was extended here, the home of Lawyer and Editor W. T. Andrews, the joint-pilot of the trip, and of Mr. Z. E. Walker, a retired business man, whose wise counsel and level head and constant watchfulness contributed much to the success of the enterprise. Dr. Washington and immediate party were the breakfast guests of Dr. Andrews, and the latter's charming wife (nee Miss Anna Lee of Washington, District of Columbia) served a meal fit for a king—it was a gastonomic triumph. Morriss College, a new institution, founded by the Baptists and presided over by the sagacious Dr. E. M. Brawley, was visited in the morning. Dr. Washington spoke briefly to the students, after which the party required to Kendall College., Presbyterian, institution, of which Dr. A. N. Fryerson is president. The Kendall students, flanked by the pupils of the graded school of the city, were assemble in front of the building and as the famous industrialist admonished them to base their lives upon right principles, they liberally punctuated his remarks with college yell, the tenor of which was that the "Wizard" was the "greatest ever." Then a magnificent dinner was served by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the local Business League in the college dining hall. The Opera House was inadequate to hold the people, who wanted to see and hear the Doctor. From dawn crowds of people had been coming in from the surrounding country, and at ten o'clock the doors of the theater were jammed and the crowd filled the street for nearly a block. 2,5000 persons managed to get inside. The balcony was occupied with 500 or more white citizens of the best quality, and for the first time in a public auditorium, the stage was divided half and half between the colored visitors and the white people who were anxious to hear the "Wizard's" inspiring message. Lawyer Andrews presided and delivered the address of welcome. Rev. C. C. Brown, pastor of a leading white church of the city, and noted for his liberality on the Negro question, introduced Dr. Washington in terms tait brought forth round after round of hearty applause from both races. Dr. Brown stated that his part was only that of a bugler, who in the century that confessed the divine right of kings, merely sounded the bugle call, announcing the approach of the king and his royal retinue, Dr. Brown traced the history of the Negro from his arrival on these shores, an untutored African, and took note of the disappearance of every reminder of his primitive state—he more readily than any other people, assimilated the American idea and adopted everything that was progressive and uplifting. He analyzed the life and work of the Doctor, and declared that he was proud of the honor conferred on him in asking him to present to umter's citizens so noble and unselfish, a friend of humanity. Dr. Washington's speech was in happy vein and "scored" heavily. Major Moton led "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder," and a select chorus rendered appropriate songs. On the drive through the colored residential section, many beautiful homes were pointed out as the property of thrifty Negroes. The committee on arrangements, who did their work with such consumate skill, was made up of W. T. Andrews, chairman; A. J. Andrews, M. J. Frederick, I.-D. Davis, Z. E. Walker, F. K. Kershaw, C. W. Birnie, M.-D., C. W. Maxwell, W. G. Valentine, E. C. Jones, E. E. ones, Rev. J. A. Pinson, A. U. Fryerson, J. L. Sanders, J. D. Diggs, Rev. A. J. Johnson, H. D. McKnight, W. J. Andrews, R. H. Richardson, S. F. Flegler, T. E. Callard, Samuel Franklin, E. E. DeLorme, J. C. Prioleau, and A. E. Walters. The sub-committee representing the local Negro Business League, was headed by W. V. Moore, and included S. J. McDonald, M. J. HOTEL MACEO. When visiting New York City, stop at the Hotel Maceo, 213 West 53rd. Street, corner Broadway. Steam heated. Telephone. 803. Columbus. B. F.

The Anniversary Sermon of the Knights of Dythias was preached last Sunday night at the Zion Baptist Church, by the pastor, Rev. W. J. Howard. A silver tea set was presented to the Captain of the Drill rank. Mrs. Julia Layton made the presentation speech. The church was crowded. Rev. W. V. Mitchell, a graduate of the Theological department of Howard University, has resigned from the pastorate of his church in Virginia, and will return to his home in the West Indies. At the Washington Annual Conference which was held in Alexandria, Virginia, the Rev. Arthur F. Wallace was appointed to the pastorate of one of the Methodist Episcopal churches in Getsburg, Pennsylvania. For five years Mr. Wallace has been a member of Howard University, graduating from the Theological Department in the class of 1907. He spent one year in the Law Department, 1908; at present he is connected with the Theological Department, pursuing postgraduate studies. He leaves Friday to enter upon his new field of work at Getsburg, Pennsylvania. The Bee heartily commends Mr. Wallace upon his success and hopes he will hold up the banner of Christ in that historic town of Pennsylvania. Dr Frank N. Cordoza, who has been practicing medicine in Manning, South Carolina, has moved to Baltimore, and has opened his office at 426 N Gilmore street. Dr Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Alabama, was in the city last week. partly the guest of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. W. Sidney Pittman, and Dr. J. R. Francis. Dr. Francis gave a breakfast Saturday morning. Mr Emmett J. Scott arrived in the city from Tuskegee. Alabama, last Sunday evening and was met at the depot by Attorney J. A. Cobb, who escorted him to the residence of Dr. A M Curtis and wife. Assistant United States Attorney W H Lewis, of Boston, Massachusetts, was in the city last week. Dr E D Scott is able to be up and out again, greatly to the gratification of his friends. Assistant United State Attorney W H Lewis, of Boston, Massachusetts, has been legislated out of office.

TERRELL BANQUETED Friends of Judge Terrell Tender Him A Dinner in Honor of His One of the handsomest, and at the same time most enjoyable dinners ever tendered a public man of the race in Washington, was given to Judge Robert H. Terrell last Friday evening at Grays Cafe, in honor of his elevation to the municipal judgeship. Some sixty guests sat down to a bountiful spread, and to a beautifully decorated banquet table. The good spirit that manifested itself was particularly noticeable in the fine toasts delivered by the speakers, each and every toast being a little gem Mr Ralph W.TTyler acted as toastmaster and after the fine collation had been snugly put away under the be't of the gentlemen present, he called upon the following gentlemen who responded with toasts that were appropriate and entertaining: Major Charles R Douglass, Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, of New York; Dr. E. D. Williston, James A. Cobb, Dr. Sumner Wormley, Professor Roscoe C. Bruce, Honorable W. H. Lewis, of Boston, Honorable W. T. Vernon, and Honorable John C. Dancy, who responded to the toast, "Our Guest." Judge Terrell's response was one of his best efforts. His remarks were pertinent to the occasion, and roseate with optimism. He assured his banqueters that his highest aim would be to reflecft the greatest possible credit upon the judiciary and upon his race. Telegrams and letters of regret were received from Dr. Booker T. Washington, Mr. Armond Scott, Dr. John R. Francis, George A. Meyers. William Hunley, Charles Gordon, Walter B. Wright, Wilbur F. King. Honorable Charles W. Anderson. Frederick R. Moore, and many other gentlemen out of the city. Space will not permit of giving the speeches of the several responders to the toasts, and suffice it to say that all did handsome. Governor Pinchback, who was detained at home by illness, had his health drank standing by the banqueters, and many were the regrets expressed at the inability of "the greatest Roman of them all" to be present. These little recognitions of the advancement of men of the race serves to make them appreciate more fully the responsibilities that rest upon them as representatives of the race. Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor of the Navy Department, will go to Columbus next week to be present at the golden wedding anniversary of his parents, which will be celebrated on the 13th of April. On the evening of the 14th., the colored citizens of his native city will give a complimentary dinner in his honor. ToursSouthCarolina Frederick and several members of the general committee just mentioned. On the way to Florence, five minute stops were made to allow Dr. Washington to say a few words to the people at Mayesville and Cartersville. At Mayesville the children of the public school turned out at the station, in charge of the principal. Miss Emma J. Wilson. FLORENCE DOES HERSELF The reception at Florence was in keeping with the time-honored reputation of that beautiful and home-like city. This is where Postmaster J. E. Wilson lives and whose name is frequently seen in the papers of the nation because of that fact. Dr. Washington was entertained at Mr. Wilsons stately mansion and Mr. Wilson presided at the meeting at opera-house and Dr. J. R. Levy gave his full time and the weight of his influence to the task of seeing that everybody was comfortably housed, entertained and properly cared for. Rev. T. J. Colberter was the third member of the committee, laboring with Mr. Wilson and Dr. Levy. The opera house could not begin to hold the people who applied for admission. Crowds lined the streets and blocked the passages in and about the theater. The balcony made a box of sardines look roomy in comparison. The "Wizard" on behalf of the city, was welcomed by Honorable A. A. Cohen, a prominent white business man and a member of the Board of Aledrmen. Rev. W. B. Oliver, pastor of the First Baptist Church, (white), pronounced the invocation. Dr. Washington spoke on his usual lines and his emphatic points met with the customary warm reception. A grand banquet, at Levy's Hall, after the opera house exercises, and a fine drive through the city next morning, rounded out the lavish hospitality of the people of Florence. IN ARISTOCRATIC AND HISTORIC CHARLESTON The well-drilled band of the Jenkins Orphanage, which participated in the Taft and Sherman inaugural parade in Washington, March 4, met the party at the Charleston Union Station. In handsome "rigs" the members were carried to their homes, where dinner was served in true Charleston elegance. The peculiar customs, dialect, and architecture of this historic city, aroused much curiosity and the day was one of novelty to those who were visiting this center of exclusive Southern aristocracy for the first time. Dr. W. D. Crum, one of the best advertised colored men in America, was host for Dr. Washington, and Dr. J. L. Dart, Dr. J. P. Sims and other prominent citizens cared for the remainder of the tourists. The committee on arrangements comprised Rev. H. W. H. Bennett, Rev. M. M. Mouzon, Rev. J. P. Sims, Rev. J. L. Dart, and Dr. W. D. Crum. In the afternoon the visitors were treated to a street car ride to the Navy Yard, and were given a delightful view of the harbor. At night the most brilliant audience that has gathered in Charleston for many a day completely filled the great Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal church. Many whites were in attendance, among them being Mayor R. G. Rhett, who comes from the bluest blooded stock in the South and whose influence can be understood when it is known that he is the controlling factor in Charleston News and Courier, the New Testament of the real people of South Carolina's unique metropolis. A member of the Supreme Court of the State of Pennsylvania was also in the audience, besides business men of prominence, who were anxious to see and hear the Doctor. Mayor Rhett, in his eulogistic address of welcome, confessed that he had never had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Washington, but had wanted to do so for a long time and was now gratified that the opportunity had come. He was confident that he would hear a message that would be in keeping with his highest expectations and that it would prove helpful to all within the sound of his voice. The Mayor praised the colored people of the city for their intelligence, orderliness and thriftiness, and was proud to extend a hand of welcome to one of that race who had brought so much honor and distinction to his people. He declared that it was his endeavor to be the Mayor of all the people, Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, black and white, and in the name of all these he welcomed Dr. Washington to the city. Mr. S. W. Bennett, speaking for the business element, introduced the "Wizard" and echoed the spirit of Mayor Rhett's remarks. The presiding officer was Rev. H. W. H. Bennett, pastor of the church, and the choir sang. An elaborate banquet in honor of the visitors was served in the lecture room of the church, Dr. W. D. Crum as toastmaster. At 3:20 the party left by Pullman for Anderson. GATHERING UP THE THREADS It was a long jump to Anderson, but a pleasant one. Stops were made en route at Williamston, New berry, Greenwood, Honeapath, Cowpens, and Belton, where crowds varying from 300 to 1000 turned out to hear five minute talks by Dr. Washington. At Belton, Bishop Clinton, Mr. Merrick and Dr. White also spoke. Boquets of flowers were presented him by the ladies. At Newberry, the Hoge Public School met the train in a body, and carried banners inscribed with significant quotations and large pictures of the "Wizard." At Anderson, the band from Benedict College met the party at the depot, and without delay escorted the big crowd to Buena Vista Park, where Dr. Washington addressed over 300 people in the amphitheater in this handsome park. The audience was one of the best of the trip and some are of the opinion that the "Wizard" here made his most felicitous speech. Professor M. H. Gassaway, principal of the graded school, made an admirable chairman, and he was efficiently aided on the managerial committee by Dr. J. L. Foster, Rev. H. C. Anderson, David Dooley, Dr. S. J. Edwards, Rev. H. M. Moore, Dr. N. A. Jenkins, Dr. L. A. Earle, E. L. Rogers, Green Jenkins, Rev. S. J. Jones, Rev. E. V. Gassaway, Scott L. Johnstone, Rev. T. B. Nelson, Elijah Blessingame, William Minnefield, J. E. W. Jackson, H. McCowan, Rev. W. H. Redfield, and Rev. J. P. Foster. At the park, Rev. W. H. Frazier invoked the divine blessing, and Mr. J. J. Frewell, vice-president of the Second National Bank, delivered an address of wel- Forget the worry You've found that there's going to be a need for some new Furniture or Floor Coverings this spring.

Greenville was reached two hours late, by reason of an engine breaking down on the connecting line, but in the immense opera house the audience waited patiently until ten o'clock at night and was amply rewarded for its long vigil by one of the Doctor's happiest oratorical efforts. The local brass band escorted the party to the opera house, the streets were crowded all along the line of march by whites and blacks, and cries of "that's him" wer heard on every side as the Doctor was recognized. At the opera house, Rev. P. F. Maloy presided. The invocation was by Rev. J. O. Allen. Major R. R. Moton gracefully introduced the speaker. On this occasion, Dr. Washington based his talk largely on the labor aspect of the race problem and he referred more --- --- LUNCH ROOM. TO 4 P. M. LUNCH ROOM.

The school controls over 3000 acres of arable land, has 96 buildings, built mostly by student labor. The plant is valued at $950,000 and the endowment fund is now about $1,600,000. The entire holdings of Tuskegee Institute are estimated to be worth fully $3,090,000. A difficult soprano solo, "Beneath the Summer Skies," (Geible) was delightfully rendered by Miss A. Cecelia oJhinson, accompanied by Miss Marjorie Maloy, both teachers in the public schools. The Greenville citizens' committee embraced Rev. P. V. Maloy, Dr. J. E. Washington, J. A. Brier, Dr. McDowell, Dr. W. S. Smith, Dr. A. E. Boyd, Dr. J. H. Mitchell, Dr. D. M. Minus, president of Stirling College. L. D. Bowman, A. B. Davis, Rev. A. R. Berk, Dr. J. O. Allen and others. The party remained in Greenville over night, had a formal dinner next day, leaving at 2 p. m., for Gaffney, where the invitation to come had been extended by the City Council and had been counter signed by the Mayor. The chairman of the committee on arrangements was Mr. F. D. Simms, and his work was capably performed, and there was not the semblance of a hitch or delay. The great meeting at the opera house was a variable "love feast." Every- --- body was in the best of humor, set speeches seemed out of place. Dr. Wahington bubbled over with geniality, and the various members of the party delivered valedictories, attuned to the grave and the gay. Major Motion sung his majors and minors. Rev. Richard Carroll made his farewell talk to his "folks" and amid echoes of the strains of and "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again," the Washington party said adieu and parted, after a week of the most instructive, entertaining and inspiring association that they had ever experienced. Men were brought together in a way that had never been possible before; friendships have been cemente and forces that mean much for the race have formed alliances that will bring forth rich fruit in the future for God and humanity. The White South, as well as the Black South, has been benefitted by the simply stated truths of Dr. Washington. A better understanding has been promoted between the races, and out of it all will come a larger life and a more substantial prosperity for white and black alike. The mission which impelled Booker T. Washington to bear a torch of hope through the Black Belt of South Carolina was a brilliant success, and rank abreast of the famous Mississippi tour of 1908, in solid achievement. R. W. Thompon. MR. EMMETT SCOTT HERE, PREPARATORY TO SAILING'. FOR LIBERIA Mr. Emmett J. Scott, recently named by PresidentTaft as one of the Commissioners to go to Liberia, arrived in Washington to remain for a week or ten days, before sailing for Liberia. Mr. Scott is spending most of his time at the State Department, where he has been assigned a room and a stenographer, familiarizing himself with reports, etc., etc., pertaining to the affairs of the Liberian republic. The selection of Mr. Scott as one of the Commissioners was eminently logical. He, better than any other man, can best represent and carry out the plans Dr. Washington would have carried out. The Negro Press of the country has applauded the selection of Mr. Scott, knowing that he will well represent this country, the race, and suggest what is best for the African republic. There is yet one other commissioner to be selected, to take the place of Mr. Ogden who declined. The Commission will make the trip on a United States gunboat. It is probable that before Mr. Scott leaves Washington his friends will tender him a complimentary dinner. Mr. Scott recognizes the fact that he has been given a splendid opportunity to make a name for himself, and he fully appreciates the importance of the mission and its responsibilities. The Bee joins in wishing him all possible success. Mr. and Mrs. James W.

He explained that his son was in Belleyue Hospital and that the surgeons were anxious te transfuse the blood of a healthy per son Into the body of the boy. «The doctors want x strong man who {s healthy In every way,” the father explained. . A guest registered as Mark Owen, who refused to tell anything further about himself, stepped forward, and remarked he would like to know more about it. Big, broad-shouldered, with the glow ‘of health in his cheeks, he looked as if he would pass the teat of the physicians, “I guess you'll do,” said Dennison. “How much blood do you want? asked Owen. . “Fifteen ounces.” “How much do I gett” “Ten dollars.” “I'm your man,” and the bargain was struck. The rate was 66 2-3 cents an onuce, Up to Bellevue Hospital marched Dennison and Owen. The surgeons examined the man who was willing to sell fifteen ounces of his blood for $10, and told bim he would do. The mature of the operation then was ex- plained to him. He was told that the patient was suffering from what Is known as 3a.+ coma, ® malignant growth. To save the boy’s life it was necessary to take from his body about sixteen ounces of the impure blood and transfuee im the body about fifteen ounces of healthy fluid. “I don’t want to be chloroformed during the operation,” Owen sald. “No anaesthetics will be given,” replied one of the surgeons. “We'll deaden the pain by an injection of cocaine.” “Go abead,” sald Owen. “I'm ready.” Dennison was placed on the op- erating table and Owen was laid om another table. Between the two was 2 narrow table upon which the. boy and the,man each placed ap arm. The surgeons made an incision in the boy’s upper arm and blood was permitted to Now from the upper part of the median vein, while the lower part was closed. In this way the boy was felleved of about six- teen ounces of bis impure and un- nourished blood. An tncision then was made tn the forearm of the man. ‘The surgeons rapidly connected the lower Mgament of the man’s radial artery with the upper veln of the boy's arm, and the blood of the man began to pass into the body of the | boy.

PAS 2 pr oea 129 at DEATH TRAP FOR BIRDS, Lighthouses on the Maine Coast At- tract and Kill Thousands. One of the keepers who came ashore from Boon Island recently tells the story of the strange death encoun- tered by thousands of the migrat- ing bh every spring. Flying along the coast at night they are Instantly attracted by the powerful light from the watch tower, as moths are drawn to a candle. Thousands of these oirds in thelr passage north fly with full force against the thick glass of the brilliantly lighted lantern. Stunned to death they fall to the Tocks below or scale away for a lit- tle distance and flutter helplessly In- to the water. The light of morning sometimes reveals the rocks covered with the little creatures whose jour- ney to their summer homes hag met this sudden and fatal termination. Hundreds of: species are found among the unfortunate little tour- fsts. Most of them are easily rec- penized as belonging to the various common classes of song birds. But very often large birds of beautiful plumage come to their final reagns place in this manner upon the bleak rocks, of Boon Island. On one occa- ston several years ago the thick glass of the lantern was shivered to atoms by the fmpact of some strange bird of powerful bill—York Tran- script. Firez Started by Moths. Moths and flamds are universally connected, yet few people suspect that danger could arise therefrom, The Insects are of such frail strac- ture that generally they get destroy- ed before it Is possible for them to inflict Injury, and it is hardly creditable that the wings would Ig- nite ahg retain the flames long enough to enab’é the moth to fly to Its surroundings. That, however, has occurred, The moth was a very large one and Its wings must have been very dry, so that when it floundered through the flame it set fire to one wing And darted out to a curtain nearby which at once flared up. It is possible that many summer evening fires In the country could be attributed to a source of this kind.

Se eee, es We Original Organization Did Away with Tell Gates and Brought About Good Roads. COMPANIES DISCOREYED THE LAW Crimes Committed Now Are by Gangs Riding Behind Name of Old Association Which Owed the Abolishment of the Turnpike Co- mpanies. Louisville, Ky.—There has not been, it is said, a crime of mob vi- lence committed in this State, in Tennessee, or, in fact, in any of the Southern States or in any of the Middle Western States in the past several years, with the exception of the occasional lynching of a negro by a mob, that has not been should- ered on the Night Riders. The Night Riders were an organized body back in 1900, when the State Legislature passed a law doing away with private ownership of State roads. For months the turnip-like corporations refused to obey the State laws. They appealed to the State Supreme Court, then to the Court of Appeals, and lastly to the United States Supreme Court, and on each appeal they would get a stay, which made it possible for them to continue running their tell tales and charging two cents a mile for every horse or vehicle that passed over their property. Because of the law's delay the condition of the roads became impossible. The owners of the turnpiers would not expend one cent for improvements as long as there was question of their loving their property by a final court decision, but they did not come to mallet travellers. All this while they refused to accept the fair price offered by the state for their roads. It was then that the Night Riders were organized. The organization spread from Shelby County to every part of the State, and one night in the late fall men rode from their homes and began burning toll gates. There is no record of a toll gate keeper being injured unless he showed resistance. Then he was taken from the house, and if he continued to be sedentant he was flogged. In ninety-also cases out of a hundred the toll gate keeper was glad to give up his fob and let the rate burn. Night Riders undoubtedly brought the turnpike corporations to terms. There was not a toll gate left standing in the State of Kentucky by the following spring. Had the taxpayers and farmers been contented to allow the law to take its never ending course the chances are that toll gates would still be holding up travellers on the State roads to-day, and that the roads would have been worse now than they were when the Night Riders became organised. The Kentucky roads now are among the best in the United States. There are not millions of dollars of watered stock on which to pay interest, and the State tax has improved them and even made it possible for almost all of them to be sprinkled with oil during the summer season, thus laying the dust. The success of the Night Riders in the war against toll gates led to an organization of a similar character when the fight was waged against the American Tobacco Company. But out of this last organization there grew a body of violent men, who live on excitement and thrive on lawlessness. Then sprang up, too, lawless bodies of men in many of the Southern and Middle Western States, who chose to call themselves Night Riders, though the probabilities are that 99 per cent. of the men didn't own so much as a horse to ride. If a list of the original body of Night Riders could be had the chances are that the names of many men who figured in the operations of the old Ku-Klux gang would be found, and if this list were sifted down it would show that many property-owners and men of prominence had resorted to violence because of their belief that action was their only safeguard against ruin, and that a defiance of law had to be met by a like defiance. Psyche Knot a Life Saver. Altoona, Pa.--Having washed and dried her hair, Mary Housner, aged twenty-two, did it up in a Payche knot and walked out on the front porch.

ONE TEST FOR PEARLS. Eerlin Hotel Porter's Experiment That Was Not a Success. The porter of one of the leading Berlin hotels has just had a curious adventure. Some time ago a dealer in pearls who was stopping at the hotel told him an infallible way to distinguish real pearls from false, which was to put them on the ground and stamp on them. If real they would resist the test, if false they would be crushed. The porter, however, never had a chance of putting this theory to the test until a few days ago. The director of a well knpwn company in Berlin, while dining at the hotel, lost a valuable pearl pin. This was found by the waiter, who gave it to the porter to return to its owner. The porter saw his opportunity had come at last to test the quality of a pearl. He put the pin on the ground, placed his heel on it and ground it to a powder. When the owner arrived to claim it there was a somewhat stormy scene, but he was good natured enough to consent to say no more about the affair on the porter refunding half the value of the pin, 600 marks. In future the porter will submit any jewelry he may find for expert opinion.

Pratt, Dead from Hunger and Thirst, Found in California. Los Angeles, Cal.—"Water, if I could only and water! I'm suffering terribly from hunger. To-day I am some green breath, but I can't go any more. I vander how long it will take to die." These entries in the notebook of E. T. Pratt, whose body was found on the desert in Inyo county by two prospectors, give pathetic evidence of the suffering the man underwent as he watched the approach of death far from human habitation. The diary also was found by G. W. Lewis and S. H. Shattuck, the prospectors while on a trip through the Argon Mountains in Inyo county. Pratt had been dead nearly two months. He was evidently trying to reach the mountains, where he knew he would find feed of a sort and water in abundance, but within sight of his refuge he gave out and could go no further. Pratt was sixty years old. The entries in the notebook were scribbled and began only when the man found he was in danger of dying. "Food gave out to-day; guess I can make Argup," was the entry for August 2, seven days after he had started to cross the desert. "Water gene," told the story of the following day. For one whole day he went without water or food, but maintained an optimistic spirit, as is witnessed by the following entry for August 6: "Signs of water about half mile ahead. There will be green stuff there too. Will reach it early in the morning." But evidently the desert was playing tricks on him, as it often does by means of a mirage. Two days later came the two entries quoted first. The last entry reads:— "I left Grapeville, Inyo county, Cal., July 28. Tom Spratt told me I would perish. I thought I could make it, but got lost, so guess I will have to give in. I have no water, nothing to eat and can't walk. I have brothers, C. H. Pratt, at Banner Springs, Wyandotte county, Kan.; E. B. Pratt, in St. Louis, and W. R. Pratt, Custer county, Wyoming." LONGEST AUTO FREIGHT LINE. Cars Will Curry 27 Passengers and 10 Tons of Freight. Spokane, Wash.—What is believed to be the longest automobile freight and passenger stage line on the continent is in operation between Oreville and Brewster in Okanogan County, Wash., connecting with a steamer line to Wenatchee. The line has two 60-horse power cars, which will carry twenty-seven passengers and ten tons of freight, making the run of eighty miles in eight hours. The trip by wagon occupies almost two days. Branch lines will also be established to other points in the Okanogan country. The other line is between Marcus and Kettle Falls in Stevens County, north of Spokane, connecting with a steamer to Spokane Falls. These cars will be of twenty-five and thirty horse power, respectively. F. L. Barney has charge of the automobile line, while Capt. Bruce A. Griggs, a veteran river man, will operate the steamer line. HAS A RABBIT PLAGUE. Bold Cottontails Destroy Crops on California Hanches. San Francisco, Cal.—Jack rabbits are said to be so numerous in the Antelope valley of California that the ranchmen are in despair. The animals are becoming so fierce that they are actually breaking down the fences around the adjacent fields and eating crops down to the roots. Not content with this, they are swarming into the desert towns and invading front yards of the dwellers. Citizens of Lancaster turned out recently and made a round-up. They put up a fence across the road between fences surrounding fields on each side and in short time drove in and killed with clubs five hundredack rabbits. EAGLE KILIS A SHARK. Ship's Crew Witness Desperate Fight in Chesapeake Bay. Baltimore.—A remarkable combat between, a large eagle and a shark was witnessed recently by Captain Henderson and the crew of the steamer Tangler in Chesapeake Bay. When coming out of Occohnock Creek they saw the eagle dive and come to the surface with a shark. Then followed a fierce struggle, the shark pulling the eagle under the water until it was almost exhausted. The fish was finally killed and floated dead on the water. Members of the steamer's crew put off in a small boat and captured the eagle, although it clawed them repeatedly and its mate, hovering close by, tried to attack them. Shot an Albino Squirrel Marquette, Mich.—While hunting near Grand Marals, Gustav Harbert shot and killed an albino squirrel. It has been presented to James Calras; of Grand Marals, and will be mounted. Albino deer are occasionally killed in upper Michigan, but this is the first time of which there is record that a white squirrel has been harmed LEGAL NOTICE L. M.

This is an evidence that Dr. Pierre is making his profession pay. The Bee extends its congratulations to the doctor. DIED SUDDENLY The funeral services of Mr. William H. Washington, who died suddenly at Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Monday, March 15. 1909. took place from the residence of his cousin, Miss Martha Liggons, 1001 V street, northwest, Saturday, March 20th, at 1:30 p. m. The services were conducted by Rev. S. L. Corrothers, pastor of the Galbraith African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. For twenty-five years or more, he was identified with the public schools of Prince George County, Maryland, serving as Principal of the Marlboro school for a period of fifteen years. He took an active part in the political affairs of his county, and was instrumental in teaching the majority of the men to vote intelligently on matters of vital importance to the race. The school at Marlboro has lost a teacher indeed, one whose place will be hard to fill; the family a precious one, and the community at large, a respectable and honorable citizen. His loss to the community will be keenly felt. air Beautiful Soft, Silky and Long?
