DOM

There are many colored families
who are living in crowded houses
on small plots of land in towns or
cities who want real freedom and
real opportunity for themselves and
for their children. It is very difficult
to rear children in a crowded town
or city. The place to rear children
is in the country.
In Macon County, Alabama, the
colored people have a rare and ex-
ceptional opportunity. This is the
county in which The Tuskegee Nor
NAL and Industrial Institute is To-
Gated. There is plenty of good land
for sale on easy terms. There is
good schoolhouse, and the school
term lasting from seven to eight
months in every part of the county.
The white people in Macon County
are of the very best class. There is
no disorder or racial trouble. We
advise colored people who are now
living in crowded towns or cities,
in the North or in the South, and es-
pecially those who have children to
raise to come to Macon County and
buy a home where they can get plen-
ty of land to cultivate and rear their
families in the county free from the
temptations of the cities and towns.

Paris.-The probability that the
Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue
N the world, will always be preserved
a5 an artistic promenade and 3 ehil-
dren's paradise has been strengthened
Dy action just taken by the municipal
council Of Paris. The council not
only refused to grant 3 permit for the
construction OF a Philharmonic palace
N the site Of the now defunct sum
mer circus, but voted to investigate
concessions previously granted, look
Ing TO the removal OF some Of the
music halls and restaurants now -four

This official action is in keeping
with the true Partisan spirit The one
occasion on which the FTenchman
looses his pursesFings without = muir
mUr is when an expenditure for mu-
nfcipal embellishmsnt is proposed.
No other city watches over the beauty
OF its boulevards and parks with such
Jealous care. Succeeding municipal
administrations differ widely on all
other points, but whether the govern
ment is nationalist or socialist, lie
first aim is invariably to maintain In
tact the artistic inheritance of Eu-
ropes most beautiful capital
There was almost a revolt, IL years
ago, when a tramway company asked
a concession for a track across the

was finally bestowed but had the
council granted a subsequent appli-
cation tor a track along the Champs
Elysee1 itself the lives of the city
legislators would have been threat

The single track across the drive
way has always been regarded as
scar. 1t is not improbable that In
q few years the tramway company
will be required to construct a tuD

It Is by underground passages that
the city already is proposing to handle

Household Economics in School.

AT one of the recent lectures and
cooking demonstrations given by Miss
Agnes Harris, OF the state college for
women, in this city, was much inter,
eSted school committee headed by
County Superintendent Tucker and
Prof. Stephens of the Palatka High
School.
Said one lady prominent in the work
of the WomanS club, and hustler for
everything calculated to push Palatka to
the front as an ideal home city:
MANY women of this city are anxious
10 see course in Household Economics
added to the curriculum of the high
school, and as a natural result of the
progressive wave in Palatka, a new
school building proposition is slowly
but surely growing. 1t will be the pur-
pose of the Woman'S club to assist in
the installation of such a department..
This is a subject that has been of great
interest TO many people for several
years, and Palatka needed and had been
waiting for Miss Harris TO come and
awaken the people to the fact that in
order to keep in line of progress with
the rest of the world, we must devote
some thought TO this subject. Miss
Harris has stirred our women TO enthu-
siasm, and we are grateful for the good
accomplished through her lectures aud
to the president of the Womans College
at Tallahassee for permitting her TO
come to us ~

story OF d pair OF anchors is told
In the book entitled ITO Kairwan the
Holy"
KairwaD is the Mecca of the west.
1t Is a city so sacred that women are
allowed to move about in 1t but very
little. One of the interesting sights
ia the Mosque of Emir Ben Said Bon
Muphtah. This mosque, with its six
melon shaped domes, is the tomb of
most amusing old Moslem who died
about the middle of the last century
He had great power over the bey and
managed affairs according to his own
pleasure. This Moslem got possession
in Tunis Of four large anchors which
probably belonged to some old men-of-
war abandoned on account of stress of
weather. The gentleman with the long
name was not content with any such
prosaic explanation of their origin. By
means Of the labor of 600 Arabs he
had the anchors dragged from Tunis
and deposited in front of his house.
The transportation took five months.
He then declared them to be the an
chors by which Noah fastened the ark
to Mount Ararat. The relics are now
In the mosque Of their former owner
and are regarded as holy.

His Rules of Golf.

A lawyer of considerable prominence
took up the game of golf. Some Of
his friends volunteered chapters Of
advice, while another presented to the
beginner book of rules After COM
pleting his first round the counselor
was asked If be had mastered the
rules. The perspiring lawyer realized
the sarcasm of the remark, but proved
equal to the occasion. The rules? Oh,
they are quite simple" he replied.
'There are two know of. and to my
mind they are the most important.
You must hit the ball with your club,
aud after you have hit 1t you must
find it, of course, before you hit 1t
again. 1t will take an honest man sew
eral weeks to master these two rules.
After driving the ball you must bit it
wherever 1t lies. Good lies are as i'm
portant in golf as In fishing. Losing
ball costs you two strokes and the
price of the ball Hitting a caddie
with the ball is justitiable homicide" :"

A Fine Trip, but-Excuse Us.

A vealy young man called at this Of
flee on Wednesday and left an invitation
for the editor TO attend lecture he is to
deliver at the Howell Theater tonight,
the subject of which he announced as
'To He'll and Back"
The trip may be safe and enjoyable,
but, all things considered, the editor
prefers not to take it. There is danger
of getting left even on round trip
ticket.
The lecturer signs himself Walter H.
Bundy, V. D. NJ, a "degree" that is a
new one on us. We had heard OF the
P. D. Q. The lecturer halls from the
Brooklyn Tabernacle" so-called, and
name that is a trifle misleading to men,

Iennial Dawn Propaganda, society that
has already fixed the beginning of the
millennium for October 'steenth, 1914,
at 2:3O G. M, date which every sane
man in Paatka knows is too previous.
Nope, we don't want the trip; not bit
curious.

Good Cough Medicine for Chill

The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care cannot
be used to protect the children. A
child is much more likely to contract
diptheria or scarlet fever when he has
cold. The quicker you cure his cold
the less the risk, Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the sole reliance of many
mothers, and few of those who have
tried it are willing to use any other.
Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W. Va,
says: II have never used anything
other than Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy for my children, and it has always
given good satisfaction. This remedy
contains no opium OF other narcotic
and may be given as confidently to a
child as to an adult. For sale by Ack-
