Booker Speaks Out On the Race
Matter,

New York, Oct. 1.-THE annual
session of the National Afro-American
Council, which has been in progress
here, was brought to a close tonight
with services in Zion church.
Booker T. Washington made the
principal address. He took for his
subject, "The Requirements OF Clti-
zenship." The church was crowded,
a large number of those in attendance
being from the Southern States.
Washington said in part: "1n the
season of disturbance and excitement,
if others yield to the temptation of
losing control of their judgement and
give way to passion and prejudice, let
US, as a race, teach the world that
we have learned the great lesson of
calmness and self control"

Be Careful What You Say.
In speaking of a PERSONS faults,

'Tis better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.

Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-who has no.

Perhaps we may for ought we know,
Have fifty to their one.
Then let US all, when we begin
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, roost at home.
Don't speak of others faults until
You have none of your own.

ENDED Ills LIFE
Canyassman in Cole Brothers Circus
Killed-Supposed That His Play
With Baby Elephant Angered Queen,
Who Made Fatal CHARGE.


Who Made Fatal Charge.
Columbia, October 10.-About 4:30
O'Clock Gordon went into the mena-
gerie tent and, although it was in
violation of all rules, began to play
with 't'Chief," the baby elephant
about nine months old. The young
animal knocked the man to the ground
and before any one could reach him
for assistance, Queen, the largest and
leading elephant of the trained herd,
had attacked him and driven her
great ivories deep into his right side
and leg. Either of the wounds was
serious but it was from the deep per-
foration of the abdomen that death
occurred.
The baby elephant is an orphan and
was bought by the show several
months ago, but Queen became much
attached to it soon after its arrival
and the attachment has grown into a
motherly devotion. They have been
kept chained side by side and yester-
day when she saw what she must
have mistaken for an attack upon the
smaller elephant she dashed to its as.
sistanee. Queen is not an animal of
ugly temper, has never before shown
such anger, and the circus employees
were shocked to know of her fatal dis
play of anger.
She is the center of the performing
group and so far does her trainer
trust, takes part in acts in which the
animal could easily crush the life out
of his body in a twinkling. He places
his head in her great mouth, stands
on her reclining body and as climax
to the act is taken up bodily in her
powerful trunk and is borne out of the
ring high above the heads of the
spectators.
AS quickly as possible the keepers
and others went to the rescue of Cor
don and took him away from the ami
mails. An ambulance was summoned
and he was taken Immediately to the
hospital. An operahionsWas performed
in hopes ofssaving his life, but he died
about O'Clock. Gordon is said to be
from Cincinnat1A Ohio while some
say that he is fr6n1 San Francisco.
His body has been prepared for burial
and as soon as his relatives can be
communicated Withswill be sent to his
former home for interment.- nt.-State.

always baled before wheat, oats, etc,
are in shape to store.
We own our own press, one of the
latest improved Ohio Hay Presses,
which has given excellent satisfaction,
because it does fast, clean work, is
easy to operate and does not break
down. We run this with a gasoline
engine, and as three or four of the
neighbOrs always trade labor, it costs
us very little to have our hay baled.
This plan has worked admirably in
our community, and l trust that this
may benefit others. --..
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-05-09
Ba1ed Hay VS.. Loose Hay.

The idea of baling home grown hay
for convenience of storage and in
hauling is new one. BUT the ar
gliments advanced, in the following
from the Inland Farmer, are I'M
anSwerable:
Having noticed that there seems to
be some controversy as to whether
or not it pays farmers to bale or have
baled their hay crop, 1 wish to ask
leave to use the columns of your val
liable paper to enumerate my expert
ence, thinking that perhaps it might
be of interest to others.
There is more hay raised through
out our community every year, not
only because it is one of the surest
crops we have. and requires less la
Dor and attention than any other. but
because of the usually good prices
and ready demand. we have found it
to be a money maker
But as more hay and more of every
thing else is raised and storage space
becomes more of a problem, we must
devise some means of keeping our
products in the best marketable con
dition possible, because grades are
becoming more defined each year,
and the difference in price of each,
wider. We can't fill our barns with
loose hay, because that would leave
us no room for our wheat, oats.
stalks. etc. We can't afford to sell
our hay as soon as it is in condition
to bale. because we can usually secure
more for it during the winter and
