FAMOUS BATTLE SONGS.
Two Instances Where the Tide Was
Turned by singing Them.

two Instances Where the Tide Was
Turned by singing Them.
There are two instances on record of
q battle being won by war song. In
the fifth century Germanus, bishop Of
Auxerre, and Lupus, bishop of Troyes,
were sent into Britain to refute the
doctrines of Pclagius. During their
stay In this island the Picts ana Scots,
hearing that the Roman legion had
been WITHDRAWN, commenced HOSTILE
ties and drove the Britons from the
northern to the more southern parts of
the island. Germanus, at the request
of the hard pressed islanders, led them
against the Picts and Scots, who had
advanced as far as Mold, In Flintshire
The bishop, having been a military
commander in his youth, placed his
men in an advantageous position and
then started one of the songs of the
church This song began at the COM
mencement of the battle, and SO vocif-
erously did the Britons sing the re-
DING with the sound, terrified their en-
emieS and caused them to Zee In all Oil
rections. This was called the hallelu-
iah victory. The date is fixed by all
historians at A. d. 429.
The second Instance occurred on the
18th Of November, 1892, when the
French, under Dumouriez, encountered
the Austrians at Jemmapes, in Belgi-
nm. The day was going dead against
the French, when Dumouriez ran out
to the front and raised the "Marseii.
| laise" Forty thousand voices instantly
took. up the chorus, and, inspired by
the magic Of the battle song, the
French rallied and fell SO furiously
upon the Austrians that the tide OF
battle was completely turned and vic
tory given fer defeat. Pearson's Week

CONFERENCE WILL
BEGIN WEDNESDAY
NEGRO FARMERS AND EDUCATORS
FROM ALL PARTS OF THE coUN-
TY WILL ASSEMBLE AT TuskE-
GEE FOR DISCUSSION.

Tuskegee, February 14-(Special)-Th
thirteenth annual meeting of the Tus-
kegee negro conference will be held at
Booker T. Washingtons institute, Tus-
kegee, Ala, next Wednesday. Farmers
from all over the south attend these an
nual meetings which are held in the in
terest of the black farmers of the south.
The purposes of the conference are to
promote the material, moral and educa-
tionai progress Of the negro peasantry
Of the south. The abolition of the mort
gage system Is sought, and farmers are
encouraged to raise their own food sup
plies, such as corn, potatoes, syrup,
peas, hogs, chickens. etc, also, to give
up the habit of spending time and money
on Saturdays around southern towns,
drinking and otherwise disgracing them
selves; also, to secure, by supplement of
the state funds, better schools and teach
ers, and also to have better class of
churches and preachers, and to buy
homes and improve them. Especial stress
Is laid upon this matter Of buying homes,
as 1t is thought that the possession of a
home and property makes the negro in
every way a better citizen.
Representatives of all the nagro schools
in the south, besides prominent editors,
sociologists, and students of the negro
problem, have signihed their intention of
being present.
On Thursday February Is. the workers
conference, composed of these latter,
meet in conference as to how the negro
can best be helped. The discussions are
frank and free and in past years have
been most helpful.
