The comet seen last week in the
western sky was not the expected
Halley's comet, but an unidentified
stranger. As the TRIBUNE has
had number Of inquiries, we will
give the following information re-
garding the expected visit of Hal

cent copy Of the Scientific Ameri-
can and written by one of the most
eminent astronomers:
''Until March oath, Halley's COM
ct will be visible by telescope only
on the western evening sky, but
on March Oath, when passing back
of the sun, will be invisible for
several days. The dists' e be-
tween the earth and comet at this
time will be ICE, 900, 900 miles.
"When the comet next energies
from the rays of the sun it will
have shifted to the morning sky,
rising before dawn, and for the
first time becoming an interesting
object to the naked eye observer.
The earth and comet will now rap
idly approach each other and the
latter will greatly increase in bril-
liancy.
about April goth it will pass
its nearest point to the sun, and on
May 18th will again disappear il
the suns rays-this time however
passing in front of the great lumi-
nary. 1t is predicted that the nu-
c|eus will cross the suns disc about
five minutes CT a degree from it's

cleus is opaque to the suns rays.

EDUCATION FOR TODAY
Address BY Prof. w. T. B. Williams,
of Hampton Institute.

In his address in Shiloh New Site)
church here Friday night Prof. W. T.
b. Williams. colored, emphasized the
following points:
The education of the youth is most
important subject and particularly Is
this true for the colored people. The
white people of the South are expert
encing an educational revival such as
they have never had before. This they
have found to be necessary to keep
abreast of the other sections OF the
country. The Southern States are now
appropriating annually for education
sis, 900, 600 more than they put into
public education ten years ago. And
there are abundant evidences of this
improvement on every hand through
out the South.
A notable feature Of this new move
ment, too, is the emphasis given to
manual, industrial and mechanical train
ing and to agriculture in the schools.
There is less of insistence upon the Old
style of culture that did not attach it.
self to anything practical, and greater
emphasis is being placed upon prepar-
ing men to do the work of the world.
The best educational man of today IS
the one best prepared TO serve his com
munity, the one ION to his job.
Such preparation for the masses
increases their earning powers In
fact. there is a direct and close
relation between the earning power
of a community and the amount OF
education of the average man IN
the community. The amount OF ed
ucation received by the average cit
izen of Massachusetts, for instance,
is more than twice that received
by the average citizen OF Tennessee,
and the formers earning power is
nearly three times that OF the lat
ter.
If improvement has been found
necessary in the case of the South
ern white man. how much more
necessary II is for the negro to get
more and better education, educa-
ton of the practical kind that he
can use in his every day affairs. in
the field, In the shop. in the kitch-
en- and In the laundry. no less than
in the schoolhOuse. and In the pull
pit As soon as II becomes appar-
ent that negroes are using their
education in their work and there
by becoming more efficient there
will be plenty of money for good ne
gro schools TO get such training
the colored people must see to It
that their schools train their chill
dren for service in their immediate
neighborhOods. The elements, al
least. Of cooking, sewing. launder-
ing. agriculture and mechanics
should be taught in these schools
along with their academic studies;
and the colored people should unite
with the white public school Off
cials and contribute of their means
in order to make such schools pos
sible. Then when negroes become
more efficient and better educated
they will want more things and will
have the earning power TO satisfy
their increased wants
The men who sell will then be
benefited and the whole community
will be better off, having an i'm
proved class Of negroes

WHAT CURES ECZEMA?

We have had so many inquiries lately
regarding Eczema and other skin dis
eases, that we are glad to make our
answer public. After careful investiga-
tion We have found that simple wash
of Oil Of Wintergreen, as compounded
in d. ID. D., can be relied upon. We
would not make this statement to our
patrons, friends and neighbors unless
we were sure Of it-and although there
are many so-called Eczema remedies
sold, we unhesitatingly recommend D.
ID. ID. Prescription,
Because-We know that it gives in
slant relief to that torturing itch.
Because-D. d. d. starts the cure at
the foundation of the trouble.
Because-It cleanses, soothes and
heals the skin.
Because-It enables Nature to repair
the ravages of disease.
Because-The records of ten years of
complete cures of thousands of the
most serious cases show that d. d. d.
is today recognized as the absolutely
reliable Eczema Cure.
