The Rev. Edward Z. Jones is stay
ing in Burton for the weekend. to-
gether with Mrs. Jones and their
friend Mrs. McKissack, the reverend
gentleman having consented TO ad-
dress the Town Hall Pleasant sun
day Afternoon class tomorrow at 8
o o'clock, and TO preach at New Street
Baptist Chapel in the evening. Lo-
cal friendly society men who were
disappointed at the non-arrival OF
Bro. Jones in time for last Sundays
service are expected 20 attend I'm
large numbers at New Street, but
there will also oe a large general con
gregation.
During the course of the week tne
reverend gentleman has made many
friendships among not only tne dele
gates, but every class or the commun
ity with whom he has come into con-
tact. He has been introduced by Ala
Thompson TO Lord Burton. Major,
Ratcliff, NJ. p, and many other OF
the leading townspeople, and so de-
lighted have the Grand Odcers OF
the order been with the glowing en-
thusiasm he has displayed in the
cause of Oidfellowship, that they
have presented him with the insignia
of n District Master.
It is an undoubted intellectual
treat 70 listen to the passionate dis
courses of Mr.. Jones. Commenc-
ing with the studied. deliberate tones
OF the accomplished orator, he
weaves his arguments sHllfully driv
ing home every point with sledge
hammer force. But It is when he
has thoroughly warmed up to his sub
ject that the silver tongued eloquence
with which ne is so gifted finds its
outlet.
His voice thrilled with passion.
his words full of the poetry and l.
Imagination of the cotton fields, and
his cheeks aglow under their tawny
skin with the fire of his native en-
thusiasm, his hearers are kept OBJ
livious TO everything else but the
rich colours of the picture he is paint
ing. So deep is the impression made
in the town by this cultured coloured
gentleman that the opportunity he
is affording by addressing the two
gatherings tomorrow will be much
appreciated. by Burton people.

Senator Foraker was given assur-
ance yesterday that IL would be safe
for him TO visit Brownsville, Texas
regardless OF his efforts to prove that
Negro soldiers were not guilty OF
shooting up the town.
At the conclusion OF the testimony
OF Louis Cowan. OF Brownsville. wac
was a witness before the Senate Com
mittee on Military Affairs, Mr.. Cow
an said he had been quoted in spec
ial dispatches from st. Louis as
saying that IL Senator Foraker went
10 Brownsville he would be "tarred
and feathered." Mr.. Cowan denied
that he had made any such remark.
Then you think It would be per-
fectly safe for me TO go there?" ask
ed Senator Foraker.
"Oh, yes" said Mr.. Cowan.
Il greatly appreciate this assur-
auce," said Mr.. Foraker. The Sen
ator then referred to another special
dispatch saying that Mr.. Cowan, on
his way 20 Washington, compelled a
Negro 20 make up berth on a Pull
man car by threatening TO shoot him
Mr. Cowan also denied the truthful
ness of this story.
Mr.. Cowan told the committee he
was not surprised at the outbreak OF
the Negro soldiers, because a week
before it occurred he had been told
by William Henry, a Negro servant
formerly in his fathers family, that
the soldiers we're going TO shoot up
the town on the next pay day. He
had paid little attention to the warn
ing at the time, but after the attack
on Mrs. Evans he became apprehen-
sive and bought forty rounds OF am
munition for his revolver.

CowAN SAW FLASHES.

Mr. Cowan's testimony as to the
shooting was principally with regard
TO seeing the flashes from seven or
eight shots fired from Company ID
barracks, some of the bullets passing
over his head, two and one-half
blocks from the barracks, on Eliza
beth street.
The most dramatic account of the
shooting up OF Brownsville yet pre-
sented was given by Mrs. Cowan,
whose house was riddled with bullets
by the rioters and who probably
saved the lives of her five children
by hiding them under bed as soon
as the building was fired upon. Mrs
Cowan had given childrens party
that evening, ana the last or the
forty guests had left only short
while before midnight, when the riot
ing began. Mr.. Cowan had also
gone downtown a few minutes be-
fore. so that the wife and children
were alone, except for a Mexican
girl.
Mrs. Cowan showed considerable
excitement even yesterday when tel
ing the committee OF how her chll-
dren were scared when the oullets
began to come through the wals.
how she had taken them TO one OF
the bed rooms, pushed them under
the bed, and had then thrown her
self on the floor; how the bullets
that passed over them wrecked the
room and some Of its furniture, IN

Health and Beauty Hints.

Every lover of q hot bath should nc.
custom herself to rinsing with water as
cold as can be borne without shock.
Lemon is an excellent shampoo for
white hair, giving it a lovely, silvery
luster and keeping it soft and pliable
Deep breathing exercises besides ton
ing up the general health are the best
possible means of speedily getting the
rounded slender waist line that is SO
much to be desired.
To rinse the hair after a shampoo
one of the rubber-tubed sprays sold In
any of the drug or department stores
will be found to give the best service
and TO save time as well.
The girl with a receding chin should
be careful to have her hair knotted or
level with her chin or below it, well
down on the neck Arranged in the
middle of the head 1t accentuates her
defect.
The sufferer from neuralgia can
often get relief by putting a hot-water
bottle over the afflicted part. Rubbing
it with equal portions and benzoin and
peppermint oil has also been known to
give relief.
A simple lotion that should be rub
bed on the face before going out OF
doors during cold weather is made OF
one ounce of glycerin. one pint of elder
flower water and two drains of powder
ed borax. Mix well and use freely.

II you stop to realize that the most
glorious music ever written loses its
beauty when played upon harsh and
tuneless instrument, then you can ap-
preciate how your best phrases, when
spoken in a nasal, undisciplined voice
actually hurt the ears of your nearer.
No less famous person that Demos
themes appreciated that his ideas could
never hold the attention Of any au-
dience If he expressed them In sharp
and strident tones. Consequently that
greatest of all orators gave the most
earnest and patient attention to the
mastery Of his naturally unmusical
voice before he attempted to sneak to
the Athenian people, and, in small
way, it is quite easy for any one to do
just what Demosthenes did. The way
to give smoothness and sweetness to
a high, harsh voice is to use the sim
pie device of persistently speaking one
whole octave lower than that which is
ordinarily and carelessly employed
This brings the voice under control,
ard this is what gives to the voice of
nearly every southern woman that nice
distinction that enables us to tell in
an instant from what part of this big
continent she comes, no matter when
or where we may meet her.
