To the toast Georgia" Mr.. Stovall
responded in his customary graceful
and happy style. He spoke of the
wonderful resources of the Empire
State of the South" and of the pro-
gressiveness of her people.
How can a speaker in the short
limit of an after-dinner talk do justice
to the state of Georgia ?" asked Mr..
Stovall Think of a state whose an
nual cotton crop requires more money
to pay for it than the entire gold
product of the United States. Think
of the rivers from the Hiwassee to
the Ogeechee turning more wheels
than the mills of Niagara and you will
have some idea of the possibilities of
this subject to be labeled with the cut
rate of a post-prandial apotheosis. No
wonder that Sir Robert Montgomery,
long before Oglethorpe landed here,
declared that paradise lay somewhere
along the left bank of the Savannah,
and made over in his mind that terri
tory between the Savannah and the AL
tamaha under the name and title of
the Margravate of Azilia.' II Georgia,
with all her virgin beauties, appealed
to Oglethorpe and Montgomery what
must Georgia seem to-day to her sons
as she is crowned with the maturity
of advancing years and rejoicing in
the supernal strength of an empire
state"

Response to UNITED states"

In pleasing manner Mr.. Anton P.
Wright responded to The United
States" He spoke of the motives
which animated the founders of the
Republic, and of the theories of govern
ment which they maintained.
Mr. Wright referred to the part
which the South had taken in the for
nation of the government, and Of the
present opportunities of the Southern
people to serve the entire country. In
closing Mr.. Wright said:
For my part, Mr.. President, l am
proud of my country, and of her people
of every section. l glory in her past
of the fact that she is great and power
full, and respected among the nations
of the earth, and that her righteous
indignation is feared in every quarter.
Il am proud of the fact that every
man in her wide borders is the keeper
of his own conscience and that no man
is prescribed for his religions opinion.
l am proud OF the fact that, so for as
faulty human nature will permit
every man. under the protection of
the Stars and Strips, is equal before
the law.
And last, of all I am proud of the
fact that my eyes first saw the light
on the soil of this grand old common
wealth, from whose shores sail her
seward craft, bearing to every quarter
Of the globe the glorious ensign of
our country, testifying TO the nations
of the earth that the great Republic
OF the West still survives and can
never die.

Grating. stating that at his feet lay
the glory of Irishmen and Ireland.
Among other things Mr.. O'Hara said;
The Irishman, subjugated by Eng
land has yet made much of himself
Irish blood has flowed in the veins of
the bravest patriots the world has
ever seen. The spirit of the Irish
man is one of liberty, and on the side
of liberty the true Irishman has all
ways been found.
The Irishman has been found al
ways on the side of man. His cause
has always been the cause of the hui
man race. Whether on the battle field
or on the scaffold no man has been
found more ready to die than the
Irishman.
"A Savannah paper has stated that
an eclipse of the sun was to occur
on this day. But the paper was eau
tious enough to say that this eclipse
was not due to the fact that the Irish
were to have a celebration. And il is
well that they did so, for the Irish can
make light even of an eclipse of the
sun"
Mr.. OHara, in brief. reviewed
the part that Irishmen and Ire
land have played in the history of
the world. In closing, a deserving
tribute was paid to the work done by
st. Patrick; to his part in the eleva-
ton and enlightenment of the human
work; to his noblest and highest of
Christian teachings.

EIoauent Re.ponse 10 aThe Pres, ..


Mr.. H. H. Cabaniss, of the Augusta
Chronicle, who responded to the toast,
'"rhe Press" said in beginning that he
counted himself most fortunate in be-
ing the guest of the Hiberian Society
of Savannah, an organization approach
ing the century mark of life and use
fitness. Mr.. Cabaniss spoke with an
ease and direetness chat won all his
hearers.
Some say the newspaper is unre-
liable" said Mr.. Cabaniss. Illustrat~
ing this point. he told of a man re-
covering from a drunk. who read in
newspaper two advertisements side
by side. one said. Money to Loan, &"
and the other "Whiskey for Sale" II
was beyond the credulity of the drunk
ard that anyone should have so much
money that he was willing to loan
some of it, or that anyone should have
so much whisky that he would be
willing to part with any of il by sale
| or otherwise.
Mr.. Cabaniss drew a forceful picture
OF the news gathering facilities Of the
| present day. and of the superb organ
! ization necessary. He also spoke of
the wonderful mechanical improve
ments that have made the modern
newspaper possible.
In concluding. Mr. Cabaniss said:

How Eggs Absorb Odor.

Very few people realize how sensi-
tive the egg is to bad Odors, and many
even think that the shell is q sufficient
protection against any contamination
from without But the shell is DO
rous, and the albumen, or white of the
egg, quickly absOrbs and holds the fla
vor of any bad OdOr to which it is ex-
posed, as it also does any bad flavor
In the food given.
As the hen seems to be almost de-
void of the sense of taste, care should
be taken to give her only we'll favored
food, and the feeding of partially de-
cayed meat or fish, onions and other
smelling food should never be allowed
when hens are laying. But care also
needs to be taken to have the nests
clean and sweet and never to put the
eggs where they will be tainted by
Goldfish, kerosene or anything else.
II it IS found necessary to use kero-
sene on the nests, do it at night that
the OdOr may evaporate before the
hens use them. But d better way is to
get clean boxes from the grocer when
the old ones get so that they need to
be kerOsened- Eggs packed in new
pine boxes when sent to market often
acquire a flavor of turpentine that GER
tainly does not improve their taste

MOnkShOOd.

Among the old herbalists aconite, or
mOnkshOod (AcOnitum napeIIus), was
held in whOlfOme terror on account Of
its poisonous qualities, which are great
II respected even in the present. It is
q valued medicineOf the pharmacopoia.
Great prejudice formerly existed against
its use as a medicine internally. Stoerck
first prescribed 1t for rheumatism, and
II IS now known to be sedative to the
heart and respiratory organs and to re-
duce temperature. 1t is a great medf-
cine for feYers.
Monkshood is a well known garden
perennial, snowy and consequential on
account of its rank growth. It grows
about four feet high, each stalk having
q long infiOrescence. The flowers are
dark blue, the cOlOred sepals generally

Onions For Gapes.

Onions are the best preventive of
gapeS, says an English pOultryman.
Cape worms will not live in chickens
that smell of onions. In breeding chick
ems for market they should not be fed
with onions after they are five or six
weeks old, or the flesh will taste of
them. I proved their value during
last summer. The season was the wet
test ever known in England. 1 never
had more than half dozen cases. On
the same farm other years hundreds
Of chickens died zone of the best
rOup cures on the British market today
IS nothing but onions chemically pre-
parody Some, no doubt, will ask the
quantity to feed. If 20 per cent Of
food is onions, your poultry will be all
the better for it All you have to guard
against in feeding to hens is that too
many will make the eggs taste. 1 could
give hundreds of cases where l have
saved thousands of pheasants with on
Ions, and the same with turkeys.

There is a noticeable loss of man
hood among u.s." he said. I'VE allow
our women to be subject to insults
without resentment, and so our child
ren do not feel as if their fathers are
much protection to the home. This
weakness is also seen in a disposition
TO live by our wits, to catch hold OF

scorn the man whose hand is hard and
horny and whose arm is the. bread

''If you take away from any race its

as an example to the less fasvored
members of the race, his scorn for
the illiterate consider to be the most
dangerous enemy to Negro progress.
This lack of unity is responsible for
all the evils that have fastened upon
US. We are disposed not to be led, but
TO villify and slander the men we have
selected to lead and to underrate their
characters and abilities to white peo-
pie. No people succeeded without
leaders, and it is a SANDER for any
man to say that there is no Negro
good enough to lead another Negro.
Shame on every man who shows his
weakness by such statements. Nor
are we careful enough about the moral
atmosphere of the home We should
not exclude God and the Bible from
the home God in the home means
peace and prosperity, hope for the
young and comfort for the old. There
