THE ANDERSON RECEPTION

The friends and members of St.
James A. M. E. church assembled on
Thursday evening in large numbers,
despite the unpleasant weather, to
tender to the Rev. J. G. Anderson anu
wife reception on their return ito the
church for another year, for never in
the history of the church has there
been a pastor who has done more for
his people both spiritually and moral
ly than has Rev. Anderson, and he GER
tainly deserved all the good things
that were said about him. Dr.. J. F..
Porter presided and introduced each
speaker in a very pleasing manner
The, exercises were exceptionally fine
and consisted of a piano solo by Mrs
r. G. Minor, prayer by Rev. J. Strong,
a vocal solo by Mrs. r. C. Minor with
violin obligato by Miss Gertrude Imo-
gene Palmer, Miss MacWilliams ac-
companist. Miss Palmer rendered a
violin solo in very artistic manner,
Mr. T. R. Morgan gave a fine cornet
solo. Short addresses were made by
representatives of the various depart
ments as follows: Trustees, Mr. A. J..
Bell; steward, Mr.. ]. H. Jacobs; stew
ardess, Miss M. V. Anderson; Mems
Sunday Club, Mr.. James H. LOOMS;
New Church Society, Mr.. c.. H. Mil
Ter; Young People, Mr.. A. w; Haynes;
Sunday School, Mrs. J. E. Porter; altar
committee, Mrs. M. Mills. Rev. J.. c..
Anderson responded ina very hearty
manner, as also did Mrs. Anderson,
after which every one present, num-
bering fully two hundred, was served
with seasonable refreshments most
bountifully. which had been prepared
by the ladies of the church, and all de-
parted for their homes at u late hour,
delighted with the evenings entertain
ment and fully determined to make
this the banner year for st. James

With such number of earnest Afro
Americans who had come to see what
the man they had helped to elect to
his high position would do in the case
OF black man, who was wanted, in
Tennessee where to send him back
meant death at the hands Of a mob
Judging from the record of that state
Mr.. McGhee presented the case in a
most mastery manner and produced
facts and figures and precedalts that
would have been sufficient to satisfy
almost any human being. that Sum
mers ssood no chance for his life If
he vas sent back. The governor list
ened stcically to the impassionate
pleadirgs Of our eloquent attorney.
and William Pitt Murray, and after a.
hearing lasting about two hours, took
the matter under advisement.
Yesterday forenoon he rendered his
decision and signed the Tequisition pa
pers and doomed another poor black
man to the fate SO many have met in
the South and in the state of Tennes-
see alone lis persons having been ilfe-
gally executed within sixteen years.
The decision OF. the governor was as
surprising as a thundeTbolt from a
cloudless sky ssthe universal opinion
was that the governor would refuse to
honor the requisitfon in such a case,
as many other governors have done
even southern ones. But all who had
such high hopes and confidence IN the
governor were doomed TO disappoint-
ment.

Last winter there was a stampede for
the poor school children's free lunch
counter, the number OF children taking
advantage Of h chance being about TO-
GOO. The children OF SO many comforta-
bly, SITUATED parents dined at public ex-
pense that they threatened to destroy the
free lunch counter. Something had to
be done to check the tide. THIS fab the
parents who wished to have their chill
dren dined at public expense had to an.
pear in person before duly appointed pub
lie functionaries and report their incomes.
The result was what the authorities ax-
pected. Comparatively few applications
were made by persons who were not en-
titled to the children's. free dinner. and
the total number OF children to be dined
at public expense the coming winter win
hardly exceed 1000.

y Burning Oil.

Monday night the power plant
began the use of oil as fuel. This
marks the beginning of new era
in steam producing methods in
this section and ere long we may
expect to see all mills, manufac-
turies, etc., burning oil.
The only appliances that had
to be added to the plant in making
the change from wood to oil were
14,20O gallon storage tank, a
pump and the oil burners-two
for each boiler. The oil is
pumped from the tank into the
burners, from which it is forced
under high pressure of steam
into the furnace. The combus-
ton Of the oil, which is accom-
panied by "a loud roaring noise,
produces a fierce heat, which may
be regulated as to intensity by
simply opening or closing valve.
The fireman is dispensed with and
the cost of the fuel is much less,
thus effecting a saving from two
sources, and we were told by one
of the purchasing committe that
this saving to the town will be
more than $4,000 per month.
