REPORT OF BOOKER
NEGRO EDUCATOR REPLIED TIC
 ELIJAH COOK.
Montgomery Colored Undertaken, ir Convention of Negro Mems Business LeAgue, Had Plea
 sant Controversy.

Elijah Cook. well known negro un- dertaker of Montgomery returned yes. terday from Richmond, Va, where he has been attending the annual convention of the Negro Mems Business League.
 Booker T. Washington. the Tuskegee educator was a conspicuous figure in the league meeting and a feature of the meeting was a tilt between Washington and Elijah Cook. The debate between the two Alabama negroes afforded oppor- tunity for repartee and was observed with much interest.
 Cook says the Negro Mems Business League is a substantial organization for the promotion of the business welfare ot negroes. No political discussion is per- nitted
 Speaking of the controversy between Washington and Cook The Richmond News says:
 ''The feature of the morning session of the Negro Mems Business League was the address of Elijah Cook, an under taker of Montgomery. Ala. His subject was The Negro as an Undertaker and Embalmer.' He accused Booker T. Washington of ruining his business. lie said:
 Professor Washington and myself started out in life together, and at the same time, and he always was good friend of mine. but if he keeps on with his work 1 will have to hunt for some- thing else to do, as by his teachings he is running my business. My business used to be booming. When Booker Washing ton began teaching the negro to work with brain and muscle my business be- gan to fall off. 1 would rather have score of doctors working ahead of me for ten years than for Booker T. Wash ington to work ahead of me one year.
 ITO this Booker Washington replied:
 There is vast difference between my work and the work of the undertaken who has just spoken. l teach the negro to live and walk upright, while Elijah Cook makes him lie down right
 Both the pleasant attacks and the ready reply of Booker Washington caused round after round of applause.
 "In concluding his remarks Cook said the delegates and members had so much to be thankful for, They ought to be thankful. said he, that there is no poll tics in the league; that sound business methods are in operations; proud that the members have no feeling against the white people; that the white people have no feeling against the league, ana that the members were getting every day more and more of their share of the good things of this earth

 For general crops the average per acre was s7 for wheat and oats, s for corn. hay and forage crops. g for barley and fiaxseed, SIS for orchard fruits, s16 for rye. s33 for Irish potatoes. $36 for sweet potatoes, s54 for miscellaneous veg etables, $s1 for small fruits. $134 for on- ions and $170 for nursery products.
 'The South is awakening to the elo- quence of those figures. It is secure in the advantage 1t has in its special crops.

MASS MEETING TODAY
MONTGOMERY REPUBLICANS TO
 CHOOSE DELEGATES.
Will Assemble at the County Court House at 12 O'clock and Rev. A. !. Stokes Will
 Preside.

The Republicans of Montgomery Coun- ty will hold mass meeting at the county court house at noon today to elect dele gates to the Republican State Conven- tion at Birmingham on September 18th.
 Rev. A. J. Stokes, a negro preacher, the only member of the old County Exec utive Committee who is registered. will preside. The other members of the County Committee were disfranchised under the new constitution and were &C., cordingly rejected by the party under a resolution adopted at Birmingham several weeks ago by the Republican State Exec utive Committee.
 About fifty delegates will attend the mass meeting today. A majority of these will be white men, there being only about fifteen negro politicians left in Montgom- cry County, who are able to qualify. Forty-seven negroes registered. but several of these are Democrats and others are not lined up with any party.
 The meeting will be harmonious. ac- cording to present indications. Rev. A. J. Stokes will call the meeting to order and will at once appoint a temporary chairman. Delegates will then be elect ed to the State Convention. It Is un- derstood that the delegation will be uni instructed as to the Republican nomina- tion for Governor.
 Montgomery will have only three dele gates to the State convention in Birm- ingham. Formerly twelve men repre- sented Montgomery County. The change in the delegation Is caused by the de- crease in the number of Republican voters of Montgomery County. Lowndet County formerly sent eight delegates to States conventions, but now only one vote will represent Lowndes County.
 It is said the delegates to the State Convention who will be elected today will be divided among the three classes of Republicans in Montgomery. negro, a. white office holder. and a white busi- ness man. This will be done in order to have all classes represented at the convention. It is understood that the other counties will adopt this plan Tn eiecting their delegates.

Washington Loses Out.

It appears that Washington is not tc get the mail service improvements which her citizens have been expecting. The last session of Congress appropriated SS0O.O00 for the purpose of establishing pneumatic mail tube system in six of the principal cities of the country. Tho committee which handled the matter wa given list of eleven cities from which to select these six. and while Washing. ton was on the first list 1t was not or the last. It now appears that the wholt of the appropriation will be exhausted before Washington can be reached and l may be that all the bids so far received will be thrown out and new bids ad- vertised for.
 It is pointed out that a pneumatic sys tenn here in Washington, where members of Congress and government ofiicialf could observe its workings, would be q valuable object lesson and one which tn, government could well afford At pre-. sent, however, there seems to be prac- tically no chance of the capital city be ing thus favored.

RECRUITS FOR THE NAVY.
Captain Lyuine of the Marine Corps
 in Montpomerv


 Captain John A. Lyuine of the United States Marine Corps was in Montgomery yesterday making preliminary arrange ments for the establishment of a naval recruiting station here.
 The navy is short of men. During the past few months recruiting officers have been canvassing all sections of the North and East to secure enlistments with little success. The striking miners of Penn sylvania were given considerable atten- ton in order to fill the ranks of the navy, but few responded.
 The Navy Department is now turning it's eyes toward the South and West ana a recruiting station will be established in every State in these sections. In Alabama. Montgomery, Mobile and Birm- ingham are being considered as localities for stations and Captain Lyuine will visit these three cities with this end in view.
 Captain Lyuine left yesterday afternoon for Mobile.

The Naval Maneuvers.

The naval maneuvers which have been exciting so much interest here and in other parts of the country for the past two weeks are ridiculed in secret by naval officers and attaches of the Naval Department. These men do not even admit that the costly play now being indulged in will be helpful to the navy and say that the whole thing has been arranged simply to give certain officers a chance to bring themselves prominently before the public. Fer instance, 1t ie pointed out that it would have been practically an impossibility for the three slow boats under command of Commander Pillsbury to have gained a single ad- vantage over the large and well equipped fleet commanded by Rear Admiral Htg ginson. As result of the fact that the fleets were by no means evenly matched. Pillsbury was placed in the attitude of having failed to do a thing which was comparatively easy to do. while Higgin- son ,on the other hand, was allowed to assume the role of a conquering hero and to get his name in the papers as a really great naval commander. Some of the disgusted ones here say that it was absurd to have the enemy" made up of such fleet as that placed at tn, disposal of Pillsbury. A real enemy they point out, would have been much better equipped, and with vessels az numerous and as fast as those comman- ded by Higginson would have had much better chance of getting into one of tho harbors guarded by the latter.
 Among those who do not allow them- selves to be carried away by display oj brass buttons and gunpowder smoke. thu impression prevails that the maneuvers will be practically valueless except from the standpoint of some of those officers who wish to gain a little cheap fame.
