StOrrS Says it Does.

Editor Tallahasseean - Friend
Cuppage to the contrary notwith-
standing the treatment recommended,
VIZ: Burned oil and calOmel either
has been used successfully here on
cattle brought in from the North
when attacked with splenie or Texas
fever, or else they "just got well any
way. Native cattle, those raised
here, whether of scrub or blooded
stock, never have Texas fever after
they are grown. They are either
born immune or have light attacks
when young which immunizes them.
But be this as it may, IN what doses
and how often does Mr.. Cuppage
give the remedy he prescribes? This
is a subject Of vital Importance to
Florida and every possible publicity
should be given to every thing of
the kind. R. w. STORRs, .

GENERAL INFORMATION,

The A. NJ. E, Church is committed to
the cause of Education, and the special
interest paid to this part of it's Church
work has brought 1t prominently before
the enlightened world.
The first effort towards the establish
ment of schools dates from September
81, 1914, when the Ohio Conference of
tbs A. M E. Church appointed a oom-
mittee to select q seat for seminary OF
learning on the manual labor plan, "
and projected what was then called
Union Seminary, which was later
merged into Wilberforee University,
WiIberforce. Ohio, our oldest and lead
ing institution.
In 1876 the General Conference ap-
pointed the Rev. ]. @. Emby (after-
wards Bishop) the first Commissioners
or General Agent TO look after the spe-
eiaI work of Schools, his successor be
ing Rev. B. E. Watson.

1t was the most remarkable in the
history Of the Church and ne depart
msnt OF the church work attracted
more attention than the one represent
ed by Mr. Hawkins. At the opening
Of the conference The general opinion
was that the Department of Education
would make some very radical changes.
Indeed the Bench of Bishops in their
quadrennial address recommended such
changes as would virtually de strOy the
o flee Of General Secretary and Com
missioner and make mere agency fOI

Mr. Hawkins did not think we'll OF
this plan and threw himself in the
breach to stop the current that threat
ened to sweep away the Office or make
1t non n'effectual. He set to work and
drafted bill which provided for re-
organization of the Department OF Ed
ueaiiOn placing 1t on the same footing
as ali other departments of the Church
and giving the General Secretary the
full management OF his department.
In this particular work MF. Hawkins

Legislator and leader. Step by step
he moved forward with his soul fixed
on success. His plans and propositions
were so outlined as to meet every OBJ
lection and when the time came to take
the final vote on his bill it was made a
law with practically no opposition.
The young man bad been put to the
test and he proved equal to tbs occasion.
All opposition was swept away and he
was reelected as General Secretary and
Commissioner by acclamation. Since
his reelection Mr.. Hawkins has set to
work In earnest to advance the interest
Of the schools entrusted TO his care. He
has set high standard for all OF the 20
schools under his supervision and leaves
no stone unturned IN his efforts for I'M

Cochise review., 1900-08-17

THE question of government in reference in local affairs is not an issue in China. Last month, when riots were threatening in Canton, Lii Hung Chang did not appeal to the emperor at Picking, nor apply to local court for an injunction, He simply arrested and executed two thousand rioters and suspects and what was left of their bodies he turned over to their relatives in detached pieces. Some of the bod ies were buried with the wrong heads, and some of the heads with the wrong bodies, and in some cases doubtless the undertakers charged double prices. One of the leading rioters was Boxer named Chang. Iii Hung Chang.
