Her One Ambition.

She wanted a Job, she told the man
ager of the big store, and everything
about her, from dropping eyelashes to
neatly nodded instep, indicated that
she would draw enough trade, or
ought to, to cover her salary.
But the manager told her that for
one of her inexperience she would
command only about Sc a week.
She accepted this if it was the best
he could do but as she was about to
turn away she hesitated and asked de-
murely, looking at him through the
dropping lashes, do you suppose you
could make that 81 a week, so l could
have a little laundry done once In

we'll and some were failures then as
some fail now, but no one had at
tempted to do regular publishing
business until the house we have men
toned above was started in this city.
In 1897 DR.. r. H. Boyd, of Texas.
came to this city and established the
National Baptist Publishing Board un-
der authority Of the National Baptist
Convention. He started the publica-
ton of Sunday-sChool literature on or
about the same plan that the African
Methodist had been working under
since the early eighties. The success
of his venture was so rapid that the
most skeptical among all people were
dumfounGed, and in twelve years
time he has built up a business es-
timated to be worth between three
hundred and fifty or four hundred
thousand dollars. These two houses
are a great credit to the Negroes of
this country and are a special pride
of the citizens of Nashville. In this
issue is printed a cut of a Scott's
All-Size Rotary book press This ma
chine is in operation at the National
Baptist Publishing Board daily, and
is the only one of it's kind South of
the Ohio river. 1t has a capacity Of
5000 printed sheets per hour. They
come out Of the press printed on
both sides, which means that in one
hour this press will deliver to its owner
$4,000 thirty-two page Sunday-school
magazines cmpleted and ready to be
bound To give a better idea to the
people generally, it would be well to
state that this one machine can do
as much work in one day as eight or
binary printing presses. 1t was abso-
lutely necessary for DR.. Boyd to buy
this press to get his magazines printed
in time to be delivered to his con-
stituents throughout the country.
Another great stride that has been
made in printing among Negroes was
the purchasing of Monotype machine
by Mr.. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary and
Treasurer of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church Sunday-School I'm
ion Publishing House. Mr.. Bryant is
a young man. being under 40 years
old. He was elected by the last Gen,
eral Conference of his church, which
convened in Norfolk, Va, in 1905
Previous to that time he had for sew
eral years worked in the Government
Printing Office, and while there

Washington Nov. THE unusual
proceeding of an arraignment for SEN
tence at the bar of the Supreme Court
Of the United States will be witnessed
two weeks from to-day, in accordance
with an announcement made in the
cases of Joseph H. Ship, of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, and five codefendants,
charged with contempt. The court to-
day denied motions for a rehearing
of the cases.
The cases originated in the courts
deciding March, 1906, to consider the
appeal of Ed Johnson from a verdict
Of the Tennessee courts. holding him
guilty and sentencing him to be
hanged on g charge of criminal as
sault. The night after the determine
tion of the Supreme Court to review
the proceedings in the case was wired
to Chattanooga, where Johnson was
confined in Jail, mob stormed the
Jail and took him out and lynched
him.
The court was much incensed over
the lynching, and at its instance the
Attorney General instituted proceed
ings against Ship, who was the
Sheriff, and the jailer and twenty-five
others, supposed to have been impli-
Gated in the lynching, charging them
with contempt of the Supreme Court.
Many of the accused were exonerated
and in the end only six were found
guilty. These were Sheriff Ship, his
deputy. jeremiah Gibson, who was the
jailer, Luther Williams, Nick Nolan,
Henry Padgett and Williams Mayes,
residents of Chattanooga.
The finding of the court was an
nounced in May just before the close
of the last term, but all the defendants
entered motions for rehearing, which
had the effect of postponing action
until the present term. The court to-
Gay, through Chief Justice Fuller, an
nounced its denial of the motions the
Chief Justice stating at the same time
the decision to have the defendants ap-
pear on Nov. Is to receive sentence.
1t will be the duty of Marshal Wright
to present the men in court, but he
said to-day that he expected all of them
to appear to hear the courts verdict,
which would relieve him of the neces-
sity of going to Chattanooga after
them.
The court has the discretion either
to fine or to imprison the men OR to
inflict both penalties. 1t is only known
that from the beginning of the pro.
ceedings the court has appeared excep.
tionally interested in the case, and is
believed to feel that an example must
be made to prevent other indignities
to the court. 1t is recalled, however
that several of the members Of the
court, among whom was the late Jus,
tice Peckham, dissented from the YER
dict of the majority.
The only sentence for contempt in
the courts history occurred in 1875
when one John Chiles who was con
cerned in dealings in Texas indemnity
bonds, contrary to the order Of the
court, was ordered to pay fine of $3.50
for contempt This time there will be
six men instead of one, and the pro
ceedings will therefore be unprece
denied as regards numbers.

NORRIS OPTIMISTIC
ABOUT MONTANA
CHIEF EXECUTIVE HAS NO FEAR
THAT DEMAND WILL Ex-
cEEo PRODUCTION.

Helena, Sept. 21.--Governor Edwin
L. Norris is in receipt of telegram
from New York newspaper asking
his views as to the recent statement
of James ]. Hill that the United States
would soon become wheat importing
nation. This address was made before
the bankers convention in Chicago by
the railroad magnate. The Geographic
correspondence. which shows that Gov
ernor Norris has no such belief re-
specti1g Montana. at least, is as fol-
lows:
Conditions in Montana do not in
dictate that production Of agricultural
products win soon be less than the de-
mand for home consumption of the
nation. Rapid settlement and more ex-
tensive cultivation of agricultural lands
in Montana insure an ever-increasing
volume of agricultural products.
Irrigation projects under way and
in contemplation will increase the irri-
gated area six times the pfsrent
amount. There are lands of sufficient
productive value tn justify the cost of
reclamation and an available water
supply to irrigate the same, to further
increase the irrigation area. Farming
without irrigation is a proven success.
Twenty million acres Of Montana lands
win ultimately be cultivated at profit
by that method. Reclamation and eul-
tivation without irrigation of western
lands and drainage of the southern
lands will solve the problem of pro-
duction and coatinue this as an ex-
porting nation of agricultural products.
In the west there are homes for those
from abandoned farms and crowded
cities of the east In Montana oppor-
tunities are especially inviting"

dispatches about President Taft $

but express regret over The reported
hostile attitude of a section of the
American press in the east as well as
In the west.
The editorials point out. however
that President Taft represents the
vast majority of the people in Amer
lea. and that his expression of friend
shin must be regarded as sincere and
AS soieng the real sentiments OF
Americans. Some of the most influ-
