CLoVERDALE RESIDENTS
ENTERTAIN AT CUE

Casting business responsibilities to
the winds and forgetting the cook stove
In the kitchen, in celebration of the gio-
rious old Fourth, the residents of Clo-
verdale gave an old-tinle neighborhood
barbecue and dance yesterday at the
beautiful country home of Capt Peter
b. Mastin, on the Norman Bridge Road.
True, IL was q beautiful day and ear
ly yesterday morning the neighbors be-
gan to gather at the Mastin park UNI
I'll nearly 200 were counted, when the
places were taken around the festive
board. The fun and merry making
continued all day long. and the day
marked an epoch In the social stunts
Of that section Of the city both for the
young and the old.
It was Just like one big family on
an old Fashioned picnic, and everything
was served or could be had all day
long from the rare old camp stew and
the far-famed barbecued meat to the
very delicacies of the season. Some
pronounced the camp stew as very de-
licfous and about the best they had
ever eaten.
That everyone spent a delightful day
and had a most enjoyable time, needs
no comment, for there was music, there
was dancing, there was whist and Gu.
chre from morning until evening. and
after the shades of night covered the
park, some Of the most gorgeous hre-
works ever seen in this city were dis
played.
Those In charge of the celebration
were Capt. p. b. Mastin. j.. M /.
Thomas, Homer Grant and Sam Key-
nolds, while Pete Mastin. Jr. took it
upon himself oarrange the dance
program for the younger people.

the dust of every road out from Mont
gomery was disturbed by the wagons

Owing to the peculiar typographical
formation of Bolivia. electric and other
phenomena are Of constant occurrence.
the principal zone where such dis
turbances take place being the Alti-
planicie. or grand plateau As the at
mosphere is heavily charged with cleo
tricity both In summer and winter.
dry or electric storms are Of frequent
occurrence both Oh the plateau and in
the valleys. Before the rainy season
sets In electrical accumulation becomes
considerable on the plateau region. its
most violent manifestations taking
place toward the eastern section OF the
tablelands. An electrical storm in these
regions Is always a most imposing
spectacle, as the tremendous force of
the wind. almost equal to q hurricane.
and the heavy electrical accumulation
IN the clouds produce terrible atmos-
pheric explosions and violept detona-
lions, while the surface Of the ground

Georgia Arbitration Board Against
Seniority Of White Firsmen.
The award Of the Georgia railroad
strike arbitration board. which was
announced a few days ago. is against
the seniority of white fremen over
Negroes and provides that the Georgia
railroad when using Negroes as fire
men, hostlers or hostlers' helpers shall
paw them the same wages as white
men in similar positions. Arbitrator
Hardwick dissented from this.
Firemen in the line Of promotion TO
the position Of engineer must have
three years experience before being
promoted TO the position Of engineer
and are TO be promoted in the order OF
their seniority. II they refuse or fail
to pass the first examination they will
be reduced to freight service without
losing their seniority. Failing on the
second examination. they win be re
duced TO the bottom Of the extra list
or disposed Of as the company desires.
Firemen now in the service who are
physically incapacitated for service
win not be subject to this rule.
Mr.. Hardwick In a dissenting opin-
ion from the proposition fixing Ne
groes' wages the same as those Of
whites said:

Although the snake appears TO have

WISE REAL ESTATE DEAL.

Afro-Amerieans to Have industrial
School In Shelby County, Ky.
The educational progress OF the race
aside from the older and higher inst-
tutions Of learning In Kentucky is very
encouraging II has been the desire OF
many Of the leaders OF our people ID
educational matters 10 have a thor
oughly equipped Industrial training
school for young men and women
away from the city, where they might
combine the trades with the higher lit
erary subjects TO better advantage
than heretofore. This desire In great
measure has at last been realized. The
adjustment fund Of $4,000 for the
buiIding OF Lincoln institute, the pro-
posed Industrial and normal training
school for Negroes to be run In con-
nection with Berea college. has been
completed. according to a statement
made recently by W. @. Frost. presi-
dent Of Berea.
Three hundred and hfty thousand
dollars Of the amount was subscribed
by Andrew Carnegie. Mrs. Russell
Sage and other philanthropists OF the
east and north on condition that $50
600 be raised by the officials Of the
proposed institution. This amount has
all been subscribed. and the work Of
| collecting IL will begin at once.
II Is expected that work>on the new
buildings will begin shortly. A site of
COO acres has been purchased in Shelby
county ten miles from Shelbyviile.
KY, where the institution will be To-
Gated. The ground was purchased by
Louisville read estate agents. and II
was not until after all deals had been
completed that II became known for
what purpose the land was intended.
1t was then that the white people Of
| Shelby county set up a complaint
against putting the school in that re-
gion. Similar complaints were made in
other parts OF central Kentucky when
efforts were made to purchase a site

E. D. Smith left Tuesday evening
on No. for St. Louis. The Judge
goes to secure information concern
ing the life of Jedadiah S. Smith
who was an uncle of his father and
who was animportant factor in the
early history of Kansas. He was
killed by the Indians near Fargo
Springs on the Cimarron in 1891.
From facts learned it seems that he
was attacked by band of twenty
Indians while alone and that after
desperate fight in which he killed
thirteen out of the twenty he himself
was killed. The Indians believing
him to be some sort of superrat-
ural being, buried him with their
chief who had also been killed in
the fight. Historians seem to have
lost sight of the deeds of this man,
as the journal kept by his clerk on a
trip which he made from St. Louis
to Santa Fe, was destroyed by fire
while in the possession of Washing
ton Irving who was preparing to
make the contents of this journal
public. Mr.. Smith goes to St. Louis
to get more information regarding
this man, St. Louis being at that
time the starting point for all explor-
ing expeditions west. Mr.. Smith
hopes to get the facts of the case in
such shape as will make it possible
to publish the life of this Jedadiah S.
Smith in history form.

The Journal has turned down two
mail order advertising contracts
within the past two weeks. We did
this because we have good lot of
home merchants advertising and we
are willing to take our chances with
the home fellow and to go up or
down with the business men of SYRIA
cuse. These propositions coming
to US direct from the department
stores show that the campaign the
weekly papers of the country are
making in favor of the home mer-
chant and advertiser is having effect
on the catalogue houses of the cities
which up to this time had no use for
the country weekly press. Stand by
your home printer and he will stand
by you. BY placing nice line of
advertising with the home papers the
department stores would not only
get the benefit of the advertising but
would also silence IN large measure
the crusade in favor of the home
store. In this they exhibit better
business judgment than the home
merchant who will not patronize the
printer unless he likes him personally
and politically. When a department
store manager finds an influential
paper fighting him he wants to stick
an ad in that paper. When the
Journal has to print such ads it will
be for sale cheap.-Syracuse Jour
