No Ncwa nt Cnnltol.

It is not known at ths State House when Governor Conner will return fc the Capitol, nor is it known whether Or not he will issue the proclamation .or the extra session from Birmingham or wait until he returns to the Capitol.
 There has been no change in the sit- nation which prompted the Governor to intimate the need for an extra ses- sion. Since he issued his letter to the legislators, he has not made an ex- pression as to the date of the conven- ing of the two Houses. He intimated that it would bc early in November. and 1t was presumed that he would is- sue the call immediately upon his re- turn to the State from Memphis.
 Secretary Fort has had no fntima- tion from the Governor as to the date when he will return. So far as he knows no step has been taken towards issuing the proclamation. It Is the opinion of many at the Capitol. how eyer that the call will be framed in Birmingham, where the Governor is expected to confer with some of his political advisers anent the substance of the call.
 It.l reasonably certain that State. prohibition bill will be introduced. whether it Is passed or not. The Gov ernor will not include it in hls call, and 1t will be necessary for two- thirds vote for consideration be takeR before 1t can be brought before the att tention of the House.
 Governor Conner was expected to ar- rive in the city yesterday afternoon, but when he did not cole 1t is believed that he will not reach the city until tonight.

Against Railroads.
 New York, Get. 7-Testimony that railroads purchased their lubricating oils from the Standard oil ComSany at prices that were higher than those of its competitors, were heard today in the federal suit for the disolution of the so called trusts.
 Phillip Harrison, manager of the New York Lubricating oil Company, which was engaged in long strife with the Standard in the lubricating oil industry, was on the witness stand all day and testified that though the products of his company had proved satisfactory to railroads and were sold at prices un- der the Standards figures, the railroads declined to renew their contracts with the New York Lubricating Ill Com pany.
 Mir. Harrison said he was never open ly told by the railroads officials why the contracts were not entered into again but he had a well defined idea.

JOHN THOMAS CARUTHERS COM
ING HOME.

Information has been given out by
he relatives of Mr.. John Thomas Ca
ruthers, whose home is in Nashville,
Tenn, and who graduated about five
years ago from Roger Williams Uni
versity, that he will visit them during
the coming summer. Mr.. Caruthers is
at present at Amherst College in Mas.
sachusetts. He has been away now
from the city more than four years,
not even favoring the home folks with
a visit in all of this time. Notwith-
standing he Is absent, he keeps pace
with what Is going on at home, as he
is a regular correspondent and a de-
voted grandson. His grandmother, Mrs.
Mary F. Stevenson, who reared him
from a child, is the recipient each
week Of the most affectionate letters
that could be written. Mr.. Caruthers
will graduate with the class of 1907 at
Amherst. He is the only Negro in his
class. which is an extremely large one.
1t will possibly be interesting, as well
IS pleasing to his many friends, to
know just what has been said of him
at his school.
The Index and Annual published by
the Junior Class of the Massachusetts
Agricultural College of Amherst, Mass,
in Volume 81, contained the following
paragraph concerning John Thomas
| Caruthers. HE was born March %,
1879. His home was in the hilly coun-
try where the phosphate grows, and
the little goats skip about over the
bones of their ancient predecessors.
He tells us that when he was not oc-
cupied in driving these refractory
beasts, he was attending the public
schools of Columbia. Later he gradu-
ated from the Normal Academic course
at Nashville. AS Massachusetts best
suited his ideas of what a college
should be, he joined the class of 1907.
and has never since regretted his
choice. He has been a strong man OF
his class, having filed with dignity
the position of surgeon-at-arms ant
having been rope pull captain for two
wears. AS a result, 'Naughty-seven

John honored him with the corporalsy

Il MIND OF MAN..

"a poem by j. Herman Moore.)
Locked in the bone chamber Of the
skull,
Our mind works on with never firing
zeal,
Creating plans, and imagery untold,
Battling ere to free it's fettered soul.
For though our wrongs and sins like
pillows roll,
Or BLACKLIST crime besmirch our life's
white scroll,
Chained by lust in passions filthy pin,
The mind of man is never quite all sin.
The drunkard in the gutter, or culprit
at the bar,
The UNPUBLISHED rascal near or far,
The lowest ~reprobate in dingy street,
Or gilded sinner in Princes seat,
Have in their minds much thought,
and hope of good,
And happily would release sin If they
could.
| have watched sin-maddened men in
their rage.
And e e them pause to give a cripple
aid,
Have heard them grant the truth of
Holy Sage,
And cry to God to break their prison
cage.
I have seen the convict in his dismal
cell,
Bow low at hour of evening prayer,
Listening to the words of hope they
tell,
And have seen tears food his eyes
while there.
And so, l say again for every man,
Or black, or white, or near or distan
land,
There is a God struggling meath hi
skin,
The mind of man is lever quite al
sin.
