ORGANIZER.
Mrs. L. C. Short, of Como, who
has been for several years mGsi
efficient Conference Corresponding
Secretary, was at the annual meet
ing in May, elcted Conference 1st..
Vice President with the duties Of
Organizer attached. There has
been the need of such an officer fol
many years. The district secre-
taries have IN many cases done
noble work in organizing new so
cieties, but we have long felt the
need of a woman with leisure to de-
vote several months of the year tc
this important service-a woman OF
broad culture, deep conservation
pleasing appearance and address
and a ready speaker. Mrs. Short
fills every requirement and the
Conference Society will feel the re-
suit Of her labors from the time she
commences this work in the fall
In the meantime the work of the
1st President will not be neg
lected.
LOCAL WORK.
Since the organization of the
Home Mission, there has been a
fear, in some quarters amounting
to jealousy, that the local work OF
our women-church, parsonage, be-
nevolence etc-would suffer because
of the correctional work we are
doing. The contrary has been re-
peatedly proven. as more work has
been done for local parsonages and
other home claims than ever before.
Last year in our North Mississippi
Conference Society, more than
$4,000 was given for local work,
as against So. 302. 80 given for con
nectional enterprises.
WEEK OF PRAYER.
The receipts from the Week OF
Prayer will this year go to the much
needed new building at the Home
and Training School, Dallas, Texas
The Aberdeen auxiliary hopes to
have Mrs. Short at that time
CITY MISSIONARY.
Our recent Scarritt graduate Miss
Lily Hartwell, of Water Valley,
who received a two years training
at our Bible 4 Training School on
our North Mississippi Society IS.
Myra Smith Scholarship, is now
actively engaged in her own home
town. In September she will,
commence her career as city
missionary in Mobile under the di-
rection Of Mrs. Almedia Hewitt
Deaconess. Another of our North
Mississippi Scarritt graduates has
been for several years employed
as city missionary and is now at
the Wesley House, Dallas, Texas,
as district nurse. Still others are
rendering faithful service as preach
er's wives or local home mission
workers and, at least one, has gone
to foreign fields. Z. w. F.

The Proposed Freight Rate in
crease.
JACKSON, Mss, July %, 1908
ABERDEEN WEEKLY, Aberdeen, Mis-

JACKSON, Mss. July IS, 1908
| ABERDEEN WEEKLY, Aberdeen, Mis-
sissippi.
Dear Sir-The impending in
crease in freight rates now threaten
ed in the territory south of the
Ohio and east of the Mississippi is
a matter of such overshadOwing i'm
portance that our people should
rise and act as one man and try to
prevent this additional tribute be-
ing levied on the soil and resources
of our State. This increase, aver
aging about &c or SC on each one
hundred pounds, simply means that
barrel of meal will cost the con
sumner about 15c more, and a bale
of cotton will bring about Soc less.
And when you stop to consider the
fact that the freight charges of, say
Jackson alone, viii be increased to
the amount of from $50, 900 90 to
So. 10000 per annum, you can
then grasp what a tremendous
amount will be withdrawn from this
section over and above that now
imposed Your own city viii also
have to pay out a vast additional
amount if this new tariff goes into
effect. which practically amounts
to that much money being with
drawn from circulation so far as
your local commerce is concerned
Therefore, We suggest that you urge
your people through the columns of
your valuable paper to act prompt
ly in this matter, as set forth in the
enclosed letter.

STRANGE YMANDAU
GRACES CONEY ISLAND
Caught in Africa's Wild, Joseph's
Coat Is Mild to His
Coloring.

NEW YORK, July 21.-So rare that
several dictionaries do not mention il.
an fynlandau. so called by the press
agent, appeared for the first time in a
cage at BostocS's, in Dreamland, Coney
Island It Is a strange looking little
beast and is said 70 be the first of its
kind ever brought TO this country.
This particular iymandau was recently
CAPTURED in Central Africa. Tho animal
was such a strange creature that Bos-
took shipped it from London for his
show.
The iyniapdau has a head Ike a rat
and Is strikingIy colored- It has a
bright yellow stripe that runs from the
back of the head, becoming narrower
until It comes TO a point at the root
Of the tail A black Jacket runs
from the ears down around the body
and back to the hind legs. Its tail is
about two feet long and its body. from
tip Of nose to root Of tail, is about the
same length.
The iymandaU has an odd means of
defense. 1t has a grip with its little
front paws that rivals that OF a hand
shaking Presidential candidate. When
II meets an enemy il sits on its Launches
and strikes with both front paws at the
same time. Its toes are equipped with
sharp claws that sink into the flesh
whenever il lands a blow. The lyman
dau ciings with al its might until its
victim is strangled TO death or ex-
hausted. II hangs on in this way even
after its victim is dead.

initiation of telling Moran it cannot
see its way clear to furnishing this
pleasant, profitable little job in a dry
season.
As a matter of record. this city ad-
ministration has shouldered all the
expense of improvements it could on
the property owners. and it's loudest
claims for fame are based on the reg
ularity and thoroughness with which
il has mulcted the gentle tax payer
Mr.. Cranes vigorous. almost violent,
protest has in it a note of surprise, as
if he had expected better things; and
yet he has lived here quite a while and
has noted the proceedings of the city
council with a vigilance that should
have prepared his mind for the worst
that could befaIl.
One thing about Mr. Cranes address
to the council pains all who know the
modesty with which the american"
party has assumed for itself a mo-
says openly that he believes some of
the cOuncilmen are grafters. Now
that might be possible of some cOun-
cilmen in some cities. but in Salt Lake
perish the thought! Is not a MAORI
~ of the council composed of the party
of patriotism and reform? Is it not
committed wholly and solely to the
public welfare? Isn't it opposed to
graft in every form? Hasn't it gone
on record as opposed tO gambling-ex-
cept slot machines and such few pri-
vate games as are overlooked by the
police? Does il not believe in enforc-
ing the Sunday saloon law-when the
saloOnkeeper fails to contribute 10 the
campaign fund?
Mr.. Crane must surely be misin-
formed when he intimates that the
paving contracts are let by favor and
that councilmen-some councilmen-
are indirectly interested. There may
be some peculiar things about such
contracts as the First South pave
ment, the conduit plaster donation, the
$4,000 audit ana other minor matters
involving a few hundred thousand dol
lars of the public money, but i'm the
press of public business the council
cannot be expected to waste its val
liable time explaining such trivial
things. If they stopped their pressing
public business for such foOlishness,
the people would be expecting them TO
tell the truth about the city's finances.
or TO tell why the city is adding to its
payrolls and expense accounts when
other corporations are doing their ut
most TO econOmize.
What MIR. Crane needs is more con-
fdence in the American" party. If
ne only understood the unselfish ma
ture of its leaders, the high calling to
which its councilmen are committed;
if he could only appreciate the holy
purpose 10 which il is devoted in its
pursuit of the true. the good and the
beautiful, he would know that such
carping criticism as his is a cruel in
justice TO Black and Martin and A. J.
Davis and the others of the majority
who are sacrificing their personal in
terests every day that they may re-
deem Salt Lake from wickedness.

Mr.. CRANES ERROR.

Ignoring a famous superstition.
Charles Crane presents to the council
thirteen reasons why Main street
should not be repaved at the expense
OF the property owners. Waving the
other twelve. Mr.. Cranes second rea-
son would seem sufficient 10 justify a
protest In this he points out the in
dubitable fact that because the pres
ent pavement was once paid for by the
properly owners. I believe the
city cannot again compel them to pay
for il. II must come from the general
fund"
MIR. Crane apparently has failed 10
appreciate the delicacy of the dilemma
In which the council finds itself. 1t
has no money with which 10 meet the
expense of such work out of the gem
eTal fund, yet il has been advised that
MIR. Moran would like to do the work
Obviously. under such circumstances
the council has to find some way of
providing the money for Mr.. Moran.
What could be simpler than to devise
a new name for il and call il re
surfacing" instead of "repairs?" If it
were called repairs the city would
have TO stand the expense; being de
signated as resurfaeing the property
owners will have to dig up for the cost
and the council VIII be spared the hui
