OF the celebration of Mr.. John

Thursday June 10th, 1909. at
his old home, in the lower part
OF the county.
Mr.. Bird has fourteen living
children. seventy-seven grand
children and thirty-two great
grandchildren. There were
nearly all present.
A table about 80 or 80 feet
long was prepared and was well
filled with the best food the
country affords, by the ladies', at
about II o'clock, the farmers
rule. After about two hundred
people had satisfied themselves
there was enough left to well
satisfy as many more.
After dinner Mr.. Bird asked
Mr.. M. c. Gardner to act as
chairman. Mr.. Gardner called
them to order. Bro. f. O.

enough to accept the periodical
offerings of the press do so by a
silent resignation. Rarely does
a reader by any outward sign
express approval or appreciation.
But the newspaper must be pub

must make it's stated visits to it's

refused to consider, telling the
corporal he could not do that as
long as he was not a good soldier.
Immediately Crabtree drew a
revolver and began firing. Ser

New York, June II. - In less
than three years. Mrs. Russell
Sage has spent more than $25.-
600, 600 for public purposes and
the benefit Of mankind The re-
cent investigation abroad of the
question OF working mems insm-

ed attention anew TO her prolific
bounty.
1t took Russell Sage fifty years

Mrs. Sage is now giving away
the fortune at the rate of $25,-
600 day. If the widow contin-
ues her charity at the pace she
has set, all will be gone in five
years. Comparison of the finan-

RICHARD CARROLL IN LANCAS-
TER.
His Address at St. Paul Church
Sunday Afternoon. Something
About the Distinguished
Negro and His Work.

In accordance with announce
ment in Saturdays News, the
Rev. Richard Carroll, of Colum-
bia, the recognized leader of the
colored race in South Carolina,
delivered lecture Sunday after
noon in st. Paul church here.
The building was crowded, quite
a number of whites being in at
tendance. The speakers sub
Ject was the value of honest,
faithful and efficient service,
which he handled with his char
acteristic ability and broad
mindedness. He showed the re-
lation between employer and en-
ployee and pointed out the mu-
tual advantages resulting from
honest and fair dealing on the
part of both. Whether in the
field, the kitchen, the workshop
or elsewhere, the negro, he said,
must render loyal and faithful
service to his white employer if
he or she expects to make good
in life and to contribute his or
her part to the maintenance of
pleasant and harmonious rela-
tions between the two races. He
also endeavored to impress upon
his hearers the Importance Of
leading moral, upright lives, and
he also stressed the value of
personal cleanliness. His advice
to the negro was eminently wise
and wholesome throughout, and
his address will no doubt be pro-
ductive of much good in this
community.
AS is well known, Carroll is
manager of the South Carolina
Industrial Home for the Training
of Destitute Children, located in
Columbia, of which praiseworthy
institution he is the founder. He
is so intensely absorbed in his
work, and so deeply impressed
with the possibilities for good to
his race in his present undertak-
ing that he has declined to ac-
cept several fiattering positions
rendered him by former president
Roosevelt and others.
While in Lancaster Carroll was
the grateful recipient of several
handsome donations, made by
citizens appreciative of the
splendid work he is doing for the
betterment of his race and for
the welfare of the country gen
orally. He expects to purchase
a large tent to be used on his
future lecturing tours.
Carroll is an interesting talker,
man of strong personality and
an eloquent, impressive speaker.
But above all, he impresses one
with his absolute honesty and
the sincerity of his convictions.
He is doing more today for the
uplifting of the negro along
moral, educational nd|mdAstrial
lines making nTm betteA and
more usGul citizen and forNahe
, ,promot0n of friendly relations
between the races, than any mani
in the South.
