so was &cempelled- to put the Negro

Rev. J. w. Waters made a suggestion
which, it strikes us, might be adopt
ed and acted upon 70 its credi; 0y this

Rev. Waters thought and said that
instead Of leaving it to the churches
the people, through some Of their
civic organizations. should arrange
for and celebrate these public occa-
sions. In this, as in many other in
stances, The Advocate agrees with
him
In respect to civic pride we havp

Features I'm the JeferSOnian

When [ emerged from the Wire grass re-
glon of Georgia, in 1876, and returned to my
old home to begin, in dead earnest, the battle
of life, one of the first men whom listed as
friend was Martin V. Calvin, of Augusta.
He had sold newspapers on the streets when
a boy and, at the time he and I became &C
quainted had become Agent for the Lippin-
colt Publishing Company. No man that
ever knew Martin Calvin became his enemy.
1t is simply impossible to hate him. My old
friend Jim Barrett tried to do it, but couldn't.
For at heart Jim Barrett is man of tender
ness and quick human sympathies- despite
the fact that he is such promiscuous scrap
per that poor Pat Sullivan used to call him
The Red Indian.
In spite of the fact that the Tenth District
got as hot as-well, Halifax-in the Nineties,
and Martin was in Augusta, nobody ever
heard him say a word against Yours Truly.

Oh dear! This is a funny world. Men are

Suffragettes, language fails me-though nv

What [ started out to say was, that the

and what do feed you for!
OF course, one of the leading articles on
the editorial pages where Brother Lovett IL
lumines mankind at so much per flash, there
was "a piece" on the Bible Conference at the
Baptist Tabernacle in Atlanta.
Yes indeed: twould never have done to
have overlooked memorable meeting like
that. [ perused the piece. In fact, read
after dear Bro. Lovett regularly. It rests
me: Varies my pabulum. Stimulates my

the way in which we Gospel Mission editors

So, when the big 32-page edition came to
hand, I looked it over, as soon as the serious
business of the day had been finished I'm
somewhat rigorous with myself; and do not,
as general thing, take my recreation before
I've done my work.
Well, just as I had expected, soon came
to dear Doctor Lovett's edifying article on
the Bible Conference The headline startled
me. 1t was in these very words:
'TwO NOTABLE ADDRESSES"
Hurriedly reading what followed, I dis
covered that the two speakers at the Bible

were "notable'', were Doctors Dixon and

What do you think of man who makes
the public statement that he had seen thou

Of course, no such multitude could be col
lected at any one time and place, in a rural
community; and as to the cities, China has
none qolth that moany i1oha6jtants.
IF they hire Ellis to travel in foreign coun-

be wasting their money. Nobody will here
after believe any unsupported statement made
by him.
