He said in part:
The much discussed question as
to the value to be placed upon the
church in the affairs of men is new
er a problem to fair minded men,
when the question is reduced to its
final analysis. That through the in
spirational power of the church, the
desire for better things ramhes every
portion of our racial and national
life, all will agree.
1t is to this great force that we
owe the preservation, in a great
measure. of the morals of the race
through two and a half centuries OF
slavery. This iniquitous system
which did all to brutalize and de-
bauch, would have made impossible
the redemption and salvation of the
American Negro, had it not been for

Scott advised showing of patriotism
on the part of the Negro in this Coun-
try, a loyalty to the flag. He also, in
a most entertaining manner, told of
the influence the church had exerted
for good in darkest Africa. A rous-
ing reception greeted the good bishop
when he arose, and cheers when he
took his seat.
Hon. Emmett ]. Scott, recent
Commissioner to Liberia, was force
able in his remarks. Devoid of ora
tory. but delivered in a straight-for-
ward style, simple, narratively, he
charmed and captivated his hearers,
Editor VIM. Calvin Chase was new
er better, and his witticism caught
the attendance. and especially when
he said ''the daisies are all dead, but
The Bee still lives"
Harry S. Cummings, the pride OF
Maryland, and everybody's friend
spoke in a happy vein, and the ap-
plause he received betokened his
popularity and the estimate of his re
marks.

shade lower in the general trading after

TWO MEN KILLED.
They Jumped From Moving Car in
Order to Avoid a Falling Rail.

Spartanburg, Sept Rome Will
son, of Euford, n. c., assistant fore
man of the track laying gang of the
Meadors Construction company. con-
tractors for the c., G.. & O.. track lay
ing, and Sam Henderson, colored,
of New berry. a laborer on the gang,
were crushed to death yesterday
when they jumped from train that
they were aboard. trying to get out
of the way of falling rail. Will
sons body was cut in half and Joe
Henderson was crushed to pieces. j.
C.. Turner, colored, who was aboard
the train, also jumped and was in
jured. He got among the wheels
OF the moving train and one leg was
so badly injured that he was brought
to the colored hospital in Spartan
burg and the injured member was
amputated.
The falling rail was the caIse of
the death of the two men. A work
train of seven cars, loaded with rails
with the men on top, had just pass
ed over Pacolet liver. The train
was movino at about three miles an
hour and had nassed the river about
three-quarters of a mile when one Of
the steel rails On the front car slip
ped beyond one of the standards and
an end fell. The rail swept over the
car on which the men were seated
and to dodge the great steel bar in it's
terrible blow Wilson and Henderson
jumped. Wilson tried to step on the
the next car, but in some way his
footing slipped and he fell between
the cars and was. crushed to death.
The train was stopped as soon as
possible.

Train Kills Three in Motor.

Reading, Pa, Sept. 2.-An auto
mobile in which were riding VIM. L..
Graul and wife of Temple, Pa, and
DR.. and Mrs. Samuel E. Schlegel of
this city was struck by a Pennsyl-
vania railroad train at Douglasville,
near here, this evening and all but
DR.. Schlegel were killed.
The train was running at high
speed when the collision occurred
and the machine was thrown some
distance down an embankment. Mr..
and Mrs. Graul and Mrs. Schlegel
were dead when picked up and DR..
Schlegel was unable to move, both
legs having been broken.
Almost simultaneously with the
collision of the automobile the gaso-
line tank exploded and the wreckage
took fire. The clothing of the vic
Tins was ignited and had the bodies
not been removed promptly they
would have been burned. DR.. Sch
legel was conscious and gave the
names of his companions.

RAILROADS PAY TAXES.
Their Aggregate Value Has Been Re-
ported at $41,952,52O.

Columbia, Aug. 27.-The compila-
tion of railroad assessments for the
present year, made recently by the
State board of railroad assessors,
shows that the aggregate railroad
property in South Carolina is SAL
952,52O, as compared with SAL ,SS2,-
332 for the year 1908, an increase
in valuation of $70,1SS. 1t was not
expected that there would be a large
increase in the assessments this year,
because of the fact that railroads
were very big losers by the August
foods of 1908, and they have not full
ly recovered from the effects of the
food yet. In this connection last
year there was an appeal made to
the board. and the general assembly
was informed of the reasons for the
deductions in the assessments of
1907 and 1908.
The report just compiled shows
the following facts as to the rail-
roads of this State:
Total value, S41,952,520; total
value of tracks. S40,630,S3S; miles
of track, 2,S11; value of depots,
$5S2,044; value of wood and water
stations, $1OS,912; machine shops,
$4,000; value of stationary engines,
5000; value of tools and machin-
cry, S62,169; value of buildings,
$262,101; value of lots, $150,530;
value of lands, s124,S26; total value
of all items, save trackage, S1,S21,-
6s2.
- The aggregates are as follows:
Southern, $19,S21,956; Atlantic
Coast Line, S15,73S,170; Seaboard,
$4,403,1S9; other lines, S1,946,64O;
grand total, S41,952,520.
In 1908 the report of the comp
troller general shows that the South
ern's assessment was $19,82O, ,815;
Coast Line, 15,751,93S; Seaboard,
$4,403,1S9; other lines, s1,946,64O;
among which the Augusta-Alken
road assessed at S127,65S.

PrOhibitiOnitS.

Over at Newaygo, near Big Rapids.
where it is so dry that the boys
habitually "spit cotton there seem
70 be some mighty dry prohibition
lists, according to a story that comes
from the desert.
A Newaygo citizen recently receiv-
ed letter from Kentucky whisky
house requesting him to send them
the names of a dozen or more per-
sons who would like to get some fine
whisky shipped to them at very
low price The letter wound up by
saying:
eve will give you commission
on all the orders sent in by parties
whose names you send US
The Newaygo man belonged to a
practical joke class and filed in the
names of some of his prohibition
friends on the blank spaces left for
that purpose.
He had forgotten all about his
supposed practical joke when Mon
day he received another letter from
the same house. He supposed 1t was
q request for more names and was
just about to throw the communl-
cation in the waste basket when it
occurred to him to send the name
of another old friend to the whisky
house. He accordingly tore open the
envelope, and came near collapsing
when he found check for $3.50, rep
resenting his commission on the sale
of whisky to the parties whose names
he had sent in about three weeks
before-Detroit Free Press.

Kissing Mother.

A father, speaking to his careless
daughter said: 81 want to speak to
you of your mother. 1t may be that
you noticed careworn look upon
her face. Of course, it has been
brought there by no act of yours;
still it is your duty to chase it away.
I want you to be up tomorrow
morning and get breakfast. When
your mother comes and begins to
express her surprise, go right up and
kiss her on the mouth. You can't
imagine how it will brighten her
dear face. Besides, you owe her a
kiss or two. A long time ago, when
you were little girl, she kissed you
when no one else was tempted by
your fever-tainted breath and swol-
len face. You were not as attrac-
tive then as you are now. Through
years of childish sunshine and shad-
ows, she was always ready to cure
by the magic of a mothers kiss, the
little dirty, chubby hands whenever
they were injured with those first
skirmishes with the rough world. !"
