RATHER ON TOAST is

AmeriCUS Negro Prepares

Ac.u-e raised product. served up III
style most app4tizing.
Rather on toast, broiled snake, PLATA
or with omelette; diamond-back fried,
and rattlesnake stewed, is the appe
tizing menu.
The invitation was extended sey-
trail members of the local bar yester-
day by Moses Henderson, a. well known
negro here, who proposes to provide
the rattlers and serve them at a cafe
here one night next week.
Henderson is an ante-bellum negro.
and his fondness for rattlesnakes il
proyerbial. He declares there is moth
ing SO juicy and tootktsome as a we'll
cooked rattlesnake, aud he insists up
on his white friends enjoying this
savory dish which he will gladly pro
vide.
Henderson already has two hugh dia-
mond-backed rattlesnakes in a coop
at his home over on Mullet street here,
and will keep them fat for the com
ing feast.
Should the guests dispose of the
dish all too quickly Moses can go into
the bullrushes of Muckalee creek, just
beyond his home and kill half dozen
other rattlers while the hungry guests
wait
Rattlers swarm over there, and
Moses has killed hundreds of big fell
lows in the Parker woods.
1t is fact well known that many
of the older negroes esteem the RAJ
tlesnake as an article of diet, and have
eaten them for a generation. The mea.
is white, juicy and savoly, they say
and even more delicate than fish or
chicken. Many negroes in Americas
have eaten rattlesnakes.
The guests invited by Moses Hander-
son to the snakefest next Tuesday
night still have the subject under con
sideration.

LOOKING FORWARD TO
EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
AmeriCuS ChurChme0 Deep
Iy Interested.
Some Important Legis-
lation Probably at the
Convention Next Oc-
tober.

More than ordinary interest locally
attaches to the approaching general
convention of the Protestant Episcopal
church of the United States, which
meets in Cincinnati on October 5th,
and continues in session for three
weeks. Americus will be well repre-
sented in the delegation from Geor-
gia, being honored with one deputy
and two provisional deputies.
On account of the number of mat
ters pertaining directly to the vital
interests Of the church, thls triennia,
session of the convention gives prom
ise of being interesting in the ex-
IRENE. Action on several of these viii
probably be taken, and members or
the Episcopal church in Amerlcus are
speculating and looking forward to
the probabilities of this and that piece
Of legislation getting through.
Prominent before the deputies as
Cincinnati will be the following: The
adoption Of the preamble to the con-
stitution; the amendment of canon
nineteen affecting the present open
pulpit law; the change of the name Of
The church; the question of suffraga.l
bishops, and the proposed change in
the manner Of electing presiding
bishops
At the last convention, held in
Richmond i'll 1907, the preamble to ths
constitution was offered by DR.. Hunt
ington of Grace church, New York
The law is that it shall be submitted
to the various dioceses for the follow
ing three years until the next conven-
ton, which will bring the matter an
for dispositions at the coming convea,
ton. The delegates of the diocese of
Georgia have been left uninstructed on
the preamble.
Il is stated that the effort to cbang,
the name Of the church has been D Il
forward at nearly every convention
but it is not likely that any chango
viii be made at Cincinnati.
1t IS also believed that delegates
from the diocese of Georgia will on
pose any change in the present pulpit
aw allowing other pastors to preach
in Episcoal churches.
Many distinguished visitors are ex-
pected at the coming convention
Among them will be Bishop Words

They Are Exactly What the Wage
workers Choose to Make Them.
The trade unions are the reflects in
organized. crystallized form of the
best thought. activity and hopes of
the wageworkers. They represent the
aggregate expression of discomfort of
labor with existing economic. social
and political misrule. The trade un-
ions are exactly what the wagework-
ers are. and can be made exactly what
they may please to make them-ac-
tive or sluggish. keen or dull, narrow
or broad gagged. just as the members
are intellectual or otherwise. But, rep.
resent as they may either of these al
ternatives. the trade union is the best
form Of organization for the toilers to
protect their present interest. as well
as to work out their salvation from
oil wrong. In politics we shall be as
we always have been, independent
Independent of all parties. regardless
under which name they may be known.
The only interest we shall have in
either is their real. not merely. their
avowed. attitude toward labor. We
shall endeavor to aid in exposing the
folly of being a union man 364 days
in the year and failing to remember
the union mans duty on election day
But we shall unqualifiedly oppose the
attempts to impress the thought upon
the workingmen that so long as they
vote right on one day in the year,
they may be remiss in their member
ship and all their other duties every
other day in the year.-Samuel Com
pers.
Attacked and denounced as scarcely
any other institution ever has been, the
unions have thriven and grown in the
face of opposition. This healthy vital
ity has been due to the fact that they
were genuine product Of social needs
indispensable as a protest and a
struggle against the abuses Of indus
trial government and inevitable as a
consequence of that consciousness OF
strength inspired by the concentration
of numbers under the new conditions
Of industry. They have been. as is
now admitted by almost all candid
minds. instruments Of progress. Not
to speak of the material advantages
they have gained for workingmen. they
have developed powerful sympathies
among them and taught them the les
son of self sacrifice in the interest of
their brethren and, still more, of their
successors. They have infused a new
spirit of independence and self respect.
They have brought some of the best
men to the front and given them the
ascendency due to their personal quail
tiles and desirable in the interests OF
society.-John X. Ingram, LII. D.

SETBACK FOR SHORT DAY.
Eight Hour Law Does Not Apply Out
side Navy Yards.

sac NAVY dFQS.
Attorney General Wickersham. on re-
quest of the secretary of the navy, has
given a ruling on the eight hour clause
of the act appropriating money for
new battleships. He holds that it ap-
plies only to work actually done in the
government navy yards and not to
work on machinery and armor done
outside by private contractors.
This ruling will be surprise to la
Dor men throughout the country. who
hailed the insertion of the eight hour
provision into the bill as great vic
tory in regard to shops not controlled
by the government.
II think it is clear that the provision
in the naval appropriation act" says
Attorney General Wickersham after
quoting many authorities. must be
construed to apply simply to work
done upon the vessel itself at the place
where it is built and not as applying
to the manufacture of machinery or
other material elsewhere which is to
