F|RE-BuCS IN CITY

'oCdlc OHiCe SUFFERED OS IRE
about ! O'Clock Tuesday morning.
| The flames were first discovered
by Guy Munson and Happy Ste
vensOn as they were driving
home from the James Eaves
/ place, and as they saw the fire
( increasing they hastened the
speed of their team and gave the
alarm. II was fully half an hour
before the hose cart got into
commission. When first diScov-
cred the flames we're coming up
between the two buildings. 1t
was first thought that it was due
to live wire, but this theory
was exploded when it was found
to have originated on the outside
Of the Citizens bank, ,and the lit
tie Windor draft drew toward the
bank instead of the printing Of
fee. AS soon as connections
were made a good sized stream
was sent into the flame, and with
the aid Of a bucket brigade in
the rear of the printing Office,
where the roof had been burned,
the cylinder press and gasoline
engine were saved from the
wreck. They are still in the
buildingand this week issue will
be printed from the old stand as
usual. The composing room and
business Office are in the build
ing formerly occupied by the
postotfice and recently fitted up
for the band boys as a practice
room, east of the court house.
The Citizens bank was moved
over to Vaughan & Labaree' 8 store
and business is going on as if
nothing had occurred. Mr..
Clayton was early on the scene
and got the desk and valuables
not in the vault in safe places.
Aside from some water, there
was but little damage done to
the movable property
AS soon as the publisher of
the Grit-Advocate reached the
scene the doors were opened and
the desk, white paper, three job
presses, all the type, stones and
other movable aruicles were safe
ly and carefully removed to the
street, and aside from some fin
ished jobs and water soaked pa
per everything came out of the
wreck in fine order, our loss not
exceededing S25 in material.
How the citizens succeeded so
well is mystery, as the type
racks were filled with cases, and
they were taken out with scarce
ly a jolt, while the heavy Job
presses were yanked out with
seemingly y supernatural strength.
But everybody seemed cool and
did not make foolish break in
the whole turmoil.
B. D. Parker, Jr., who was as
sisting in the removal of the
printing office, received
the only bad accident in
the fire, being under the office
awning when it fell, one of his
feet being sprained by the fall
ing timber, and it caused him to
use crutches the following day
that kept him at the house. L.
n. Cleveland was in risky quar-
ter as he led the bucket brigade
into the burned roof of the print
ing office. Several narrow es
capes occurred by falling chin
neyS.
Very fortunately for the town,
scarcely any wind prevailed and
the citizens in an hours time
had the flames subdued. Had
there been Il breeze there is no
telling where the destruction
would have ended
There is now a movement in
progress looking to an improved .
fire apparatus and building for
them. 1t would also be wise
policy to have a night watchman
during the winter. There should

as well a the purely colleelt- and ac-

The last week il May was given
over to commencement exercises which
were marked throughout by the high
est pitch of loyalty and enthusiasm for
alma mater
First came the bacc7laureate sermon
on Sunday, May 20. President Thir-
kield delivered the discourse. The chap
el was crowded to overhowing. while
hundreds were turned away for want
of standing room. The theme Of the
The Washington bee., 1907-06-08

discourse was the influence Of things
invisible over the conduct and lives of
men. The whole audience was Swayed
by the power and spell of his eloquence,
with almost revivalistic power. The fire
of his words burnt into the soul of the
graduates the supreme importance OF
rhe value of higher things.
During the week the graduating class
6 OF the different departments held
their several class-day exercises, with
receptions, picnics, excursions, prone
nades, and lawn fetes. such as usually
mark the closing days of the Jolly
young graduate.
On Saturday there was a meeting of
the alumni of all departments of the
university Howard University has sent
into the world about three thousand
graduates. who are scattered throughout
the entire nation, and are filling various
stations of exalted and honorable ser
vice. The object is to form a more
perfect union among this mighty body
OF graduates and to focus their loyalty
and enthusiasm about their alma mater
as a center and rallying point. Prof
Kelly Miller was chosen temporary
chairman, and a committee was appoint
ed to formulate a plan of organization,
which will centralize and federate the
various departmental and local associa-
tiOns of Howard men. Hereafter alum
nj day will be a regular feature of the
closing exercises OF the University when
the old campus will be alive with alumni
from all parts of the land, who may
desire to make an annual pilgrimage to
their alma mater to renew old acquaint-
ances and rekindle former enthusiasm
and spirit amid her shady walks and
academic groves.
On Tuesday the trustees held their
annual session. The election of DR..
Booker T. Washington as a member of
that body was the most notable outcome
of that meeting. The election of DR..
Washington was unanimous and enthu-
siastic. The trustees have full assur-
ance that he is in entire sympathy with

the guests present were Rev. F. J. Grim
ae, Dr.. Smalls, DR.. o. NJ. Atwood of
The Board of Education, DR.. S. N.
Brown, Rev. A, J. Garner, and others.
The meeting was called to order by
the president of the club, Prof. Kelly
Miller, of Howard University. DR..
chancellor was then introduced. He
spoke of "The Philosophy of Education"
The Washington bee., 1907-06-08

Education the speaker said, is de
veloped energy which produces social
efficiency for work that is most worth
while. He showed how the underly-
ing theory of education applies to the
colored people just as to all others. The
remark with which he concluded was
Every time you put an efficient teacher
IN the school you take two policemen
OF the payrolls."
An informal discussion was induIged
IN, IN which many present participated.
DR.. Chancellor was then given a vote
Of thanks.

and will no doubt change the whole
future of many of their lives.
a very touching incident of the ser
vice was the presence on the platform
of Rev. John G. Motley, distinguished
minister of the Methodist Church and
Mr.. J. A. Blbro, for more than twenty
five years treasurer Of Macon County.
Mr.. Motley is past 81 years of age and
Mr.. Bilbro past % and is still county
treasurer.
In referring to these gentlemen, DR..
Washington spoke of the honor confer
red upon the school by their presence.
He said thier words of advice and en-
couragement had never been denied him
in all the twenty-six years Of the schools
history and that, in the opening OF the
boarding department, the first supplies
for it were secured through the kindness
of Mr.. Motley
On Thursday night the graduating ex-
ercises of the Phelps Hall Bible Training
School were held. This is the 18th an
niversary. There were nine graduates:
Benjamin Brown, Barlow, Ga; Edward

ties. Carlton, Ala; Jacob Nichols, Black
Hawk, Miss; Charles Rose, Alachua,
Fla; Ebert Stallworth, Tunnel Springs,

without an instrument, was especially
interesting as was also their recitation
of passages of Scripture in concert.

A FRAUDULENT MERIT SYSTEM

A FRAUDULENT MERIT SYSTEM.
The daily papers for the past two
months have, from time to time, con-
tanned interviews with John A. Nell
heny. one of the United States Civil
Service Commissioners, in relation to
colored people and civil service exam
nations in the South. McIlheny is a
Louisiana Democrat, = former Rough
Rider, and manufacturer of "hot
stuff" known as tabasco saauce. What
particularly troubles McIlheny now is,
that so many coIored persons take the
civil service examinations in the South,
pass them, and obtain appointments. He
is trying to create the impression that
white people do not enter the examina-
tons in great numbers in the South be-
cause they believe that Republicans on
Iy will receive appointments, and further
because these same white people do not
like the idea of competing with colored
people and taking examinations in the
same room with them. He has gone
South to remove this impression from
the minds of the ignorant and benighted
"nigger hater," at least that is ostensibly
the purpose of his visit. From our ex-
perience in such matters we rather ap-
prehcnd that McIlheny has gone South
to create sentiment 10 discourage col
Ored persons from taking the civil ser
vice examinations, and in the event this
IS not successful, to return to Washing
ton and devise some scheme to prevent
the appointment of a cOlOTed applicant
when certified to any department in a
list of eligibles. A number of instances
are known already of colored persons
who have received notices to appear at
a department on certifcation of the civil
service commission, and when it was
seen they were colored, they were not
appointed. In the insular civil service
there is a requirement that the applicant
shall file his photograph with his ap-
plication. This requirement affords a
means of entirely excluding colored men
from appointment to positions in the
Philippines.
These things go on, and yet this is
an administration of "the square deal"
and "the open door of hope" Our peo-
pie in the South and everywhere else
should qualify and enter every exam
nation advertised.
The whole business is most contemp-
tible.
