President Henry FrankIe's Address.


Ladies' and Gentemen: Again L
take pleasure in submitting my annual
report for your consideration. Dr.
Friedman will address you on affairs
spiritual. will therefore give as briefly
as possible resume Of the years activ-
ity of the congregation The financial
affairs of Temple Emanuel, as you will
see by the report of our secretary, are in
a fair condition, having a surplus in the
treasury after paying all Liabilities.
This must, however, not be construed to
mean that we have no use for more
funds, for as it is we have to practice the
greatest economy and depend upon the
good work of the Ladies' Auxiliary, who
have very materially assisted the efforts
of your trustees, without which we
would have to record deficit. A check
of 81 900 has been received from them
within the year, and their good work
for the benefit of our congregation can
not be overestimated. All praise, there
fore, to the good ladies Of the Auxiliary.
We could use more money for educa-
tional purposes in many ways. You
should assist your trustees in bringing
the unaffiliated into our ranks, and en-
deavor to raise your dues as much as you
can possibly afford. Whilst this is ex-
pected, I want to assure you that no
man, woman or child who cannot afford
to pay will be denied any Of the privi-
leges enjoyed by the members. In that
respect our temple is free to all In this
connection I want to draw your atten-
ton to the fact that our pews and seats
are becoming scarcer with every year,
and it will not be long, in my opinion,
that members and contributors will be

SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1906

Preparations for the jamestown
Exposition, according to all advices,
are well under way and the indi-
cations are that it will be the most
interesting in the history of the whole
country. Exhibits of the agricultural
and mineral resources of seventeen
states have been definitely promised
and several others have signified their
intention of being represented. The
National Government exhibit promis-
es to be one of the best it has ever
made. Many of the largest manufac-
turing establishments of this country
and Europe will take part in the ex-
hibit, the machinery display will be
superb, food exhibits will receive es-
pecial attention-the best of every
thing from land and water, in fact, are
expected to be there. All of its attrac-
tions, of course, no one can enumerate
but all Of them will be of interest to
us in the opportunity it will give usin
making known our advantages and re-
sources to the vast throng which will
be in attendance daily at the Expo
sition. Will we avail ourselves of the
wonderful opportunity it offers to us?
1t is up to our Board of Supervisors
to answer, but we suggest with all
Difference to its members that an eX-
hibit might be made together with
Northampton and the expense thereby
be so reduced as not to be burden
some to either county. In fact, the
history of the two counties is so inter
woven and their interests are so iden-
teal that one exhibit would be all
that is necessary. If such an arrange
ment can be effected we would fur
Their suggest, that at conference OF
the supervisors of the two counties,
tn IT officers of Produce Exchange and
other representative citizens be invited
10 assist them in arriving at some
definite plan of action and an organi.
zation be effected later with the view
of interesting all our people. The
matter, however, is one for the Super.
visors of Accomac to decide for them
selves, but it is to be hoped that its
members will be able to see the bene
fits which will accrue to us if we are
properly represented at the Exposi
ton.

when spoken to. In the opinion of
the majority of the members of the
Board of Education of that city the
good old-time way is a relic of feudal-
ism, which is degrading to the child
of the present day. The Eyes and no"
of child to his elders may not be
discourteous but there is a harshness
about them which savors of disrespect
too much to be pleasant, to say the
least of it, and we prefer to believe
that the most of the parents of the
land will dissent from the views OF
the advocates of the new order OF
things, and insist that their children
be taught instead the little courtesies
which go so far "to make life worth
living" The innovation, which is to
be introduced in the schools of the
city of "Brotherly Love-" it is to be
hoped, begins and will end there.

To Buy State Bonds.

The sinking fund commissioners
have decided to advertise for State
bonds. Within a short time they will
ask bids for selling to the commits
sioners $4,000 worth of Century and
Riddleberger bonds, which will be re-
tired so far as the public is concerned
The interest on the bonds will have tc
be paid until they are cancelled, but
instead of the money going into the
hands of private parties it will find its
way into the general literary fund
which is devoted to public schools
Many of the bonds have been cancel
ed, saving the State large amounts o.
interest. The fund is in good condi
ton, and the bonds are selling al
more than 95 and draw but 8 per cent
interest.

Negroes Honor Jackson.

A memorial window to Gen. Thomas
"Stonewall') Jackson was dedicated
at the negro Presbyterian church at
Roanoke Sunday. Aside from its own
significance, the occasion was made
notable by the attendance in body
of the Confederate camps of Roanoke
and Salem ana the chapters of the
Daughters of the Confederacy of the
two places. The chief addresses were
by leading white citizens of Roanoke.
The window represents an army
camping on the banks of river, and
underneath the picture are inscribed
Jackson's last words:
LET us cross over the river and rest
under the shade of the trees"
The mother and father of the pastor,
Rev. l.. L. Downing, as slaves, were
Sunday-school pupils of "Stonewall''
Jackson, in Lexington, before the war,
and it has been the ambition of the
pastor since his boyhood to honor
the great commander.
The money for the purchase of the
window came wholly from the me-
grOes.

Lower Passenger Rates.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 31.-The

maximum one-way passenger face
from 81 and cents to % cents.
At the same time it was announced

will be sold for $40, the cash deposit
heretofore required being done away

This action will involve a readjust-

the new rate of fare will not become

an extension of time in which to pre-
