treated by the ball boys when
they went to the Bend to play
with them.

that any effort made by the Demo

sincere, and made in the interests Of
"a square deal" for all concerned.
We further pledge TO the people
of Barton County that the nominees
of this convention, if elected will con-
duct the affairs OF their various offices
with honor and dignity, not only to
themselves but to the people of Bar

We ask all voters, regardless Of all

should be made fight not along
strictly partisan lines but upon lines
which will bring the most good to the
most people, and to this endwe again
pledge the nominees Of our state con.
vention and of this convention.
We rejoice at the growing inde.

American voter, and the tendency
toward a closer scrutiny Of party
measures and party leaders, tending
as it does toward the democracy of
our fathers and a government Of the
whole people. And this spirit Of in

We heartily endorse the pure Dem.

est statesman on this planet, made in
New York City on the occasion Of
his splendid reception on his return
from Europe, and We pledge him our
support in 1908 for the Office Of
Presiden! of the United States.
Notes.-The Hoisington people
did splendidly in preparing for
the convention.
Their opera house is indeed a
dandy playhouse, so much in ad-
vance of the place we are asked to
90 to here that every Great
Bender had a pain whenever he
thought of it.
The Claain band was engaged
for the day. and livened up things
wonderfully.
The Great Bend Male
lQuartette was also engaged to
favor the convention, and they
did so, and were highly appreciat-
ed.

ed to the Communion Table.
Hope Baptist church, at Broadway
and One Hundred and Fourth street,
New York, will hold a communion serv-
ice on Feb. 20, in which the members
of the West End Presbyterian church
and those of Grace Methodist Episco-
pal church will join, says New York
dispatch TO the Philadelphia Ledger.
This Will be the most radical step
ever taken by Baptist church in the
United States. At the commencement
of the service the officers Of the three
churches will march down the main
aisle.
Mrs. Hartley, wife OF the pastor, the
Rev. Richard Hartley, recently CON
firmed the report that union service
was to be held.
Never in the history of the Baptist
church have | known of union COM
munion service with other denomina-
TONS" said Mrs. Hartley. "The three
churches have been holding prayer
meetings together for some time, and 1t
is now our intention to do something
new. 1t is simply to promote the
growth of fellowship among the three
churches"
Unlike the Presbyterian and Metho-
dist churches, the Baptist denomination
has no governing body, each church be

| been the rule in Baptist churches here
tofore not to invite to the communion
persons who have not been baptized by

rians accordingly were not welcome.

SHOCKING SPECTACLE is SEEN IN GEORGIA
Negroes Are Flocking to School, While White Chill
dren Are Kept at Home to Work. What
Columbus Man Saw Country Trip.
From The Macon Telegraph

said of the negro parents whose sense
of duty to their children produces
such unexpected results. But what is
to be said of the white parents whose
indifference or selfshness keeps their
luckless children at home for the sake
of their comparatively trifing contri-
buttons to the labor of the household
and the farm? Do these people want
their children to grow up uneducated
and live and compete on the same ter
ritory with negroes who are educated?
Would they thus surrender their chill
drens' birthright and blast their flu
ture for the sake of an immediate adj
vantage of the slightest value?
This is a subject that needs ventila-
ton in Georgia. The callous white
parents should be reminded of their
criminal neglect of duty. We are in
stinctively in favor of the largest in
dividual labor consistent with good
order, but such a shocking spectacle
as this is an unanswerable argument
in favor OF compulsory education.

A recent dispatch from Columbus
states that the extent to which negro
children in the rural districts of Geor-
gia are taking advantage of the pub
lie school system is bat little realized,
and adds
"a few days ago a Columbus man
had occasion to take country trip of
some length. Along the roadside he
met group after group of negro chill
dren going to school, and only one
crowd of white children during the
entire trip. The proportion of negro
school children to whites that he saw
during the trip was fully five or six to
one. He was greatly impressed by
the incident. -
An impressive incident indeed,
though not an uncommon one if we
are to judge from similar reports from
other sections of this and other states
that have occasionally come before us
in the past

FOOTBALL AT CAPITAL.
Forty Acre Field In Potomac Park,
Washington, Being Constructed.

President Roosevelt's interest in foot
ball is likely to work out fine public
improvement which may have a bear
ing on future army and navy games,
says a Washington special to the New
York Times. The dissatisfaction with
the facilities of the last game at Prince
ton has accentuated the need Of q
large football field in Washington, and
the idea urged on Colonel Bromwell by
the president last fall of making such
q field in the Potomac park is now be-
ing worked out. Where is now wide
expanse of water may some day be the
amphitheater for the games between
the West Pointers and the "middies"
from Annapolis. A huge steam dredge
is at work pouring sand into the space
near the pretty park at the Washing
ton approach to the new Pennsylvania
railway bridge, and it is promised that
by next fall the scheme will be com
pleted
The whole field contains forty acres,
and it will be laid off and beautified,
roads constructed and provision made
for grand stands and all the needed
conveniences for a large gathering of
people. Sand, mud and gravel from
the bottom of the Potomac is being
pumped upon the low grounds through
long line of piping and the water is
then allowed to run off, leaving the
solid material behind. Next spring
these grounds will be laid off for foot
ball. baseball, tennis and other athletic
games. The Pennsylvania railroad
will build a fine local station near this
part of the Potomac park. The place
is already accessible by several cleo
trio railroads. 1t is an ideal spot for
such purpose, the view off over the
Potomac and the hills Of Arlington be-
ing one of noted beauty.

What Has Become of the Birds .?

At a meeting of the Audubon So
ciety of Indiana at Richmond in that
state the other day it was reported
that blue birds were more plentiful
now than for number of years. That
is very gratifying information. The
bluebird is an insect destroyer and a
very pleasing little fellow, although
he is not a sOngster. What has be-
come of the bluebirds of Georgia ? 1t
is rare thing to see one of the
species these days. And the redbirds
and mockingbirds are not as plentiful
as they used to be. Even the hardy
and pugilistlc catbird-which, by the
way, is an unappreciated songster-
seldom puts ia an appearance. We
have sparrows, sparrows, everywhere,
and not a great deal else besides in
the cities.-Savannah News.

Salvation Army's Novel Task.

The Salvation Army in London has

farmers of that section are DESTROYS of

not as great as the demand The Lon
