WHY RAISE YOUR HAT

"Why raise your hat?" is the motto
of the society for the Promotion of
German Modes of Greeting, whose
Headquarters are at Darmstalt. 1t is
wasteful habit, the society urges,
because it wears out the hat brim.
1t it unhealthy because in bad wealth
er it is apt to bring on colds. And,
worst of all, it is unpatriotic, for the
custom was adopted from the French
the first nation in Europe to bare
the head as form of politeness. The
true mode of greeting for Germans,
the members say, is the military sa'
lutte, which is Teuton origin, having
originated among the officers of the
Prussia Grenadiers. The society has
gained many adherents, and the in
habitants of Darmstadt are now ac'
customed to see elderly civilians
stand rigidly at attention and bring
the hand smartly to the forehead
when they meet acquaintances in the
street.-Kansas City Star.

closing one of the most successful
years in it's long history and from
present indications the attendance
this fall will be larger than ever be-
fore. Students are writing the col

be present at the opening of the fall
term, Tuesday, September 6, 1910.
The Oberlin Business College has
taken its place as Ohio's leading
school of business. It's courses are
the most thorough given anywhere;
it's students are mature young men
and women, mostly teachers and high
school graduates its able manage
ment, it's capable and experienced
teachers, its spirit and purpose place
it in a class by itself. The demand
for its graduates both as teachers and

in building up the school than any
other one thing. Those who go tt
Oberlin for business training have un
usual opportunities.

Part Of Defendant

Robert Curran, both residents of Mt.

were married ON January g. 1901, and
that no children were born of such
marriage. The plaintiff states that
Notwithstanding her best efforts to
make their married life a pleasant
one, the defendant has been irritable
and cross towards her and that on
the 2Sth day of June, he beat and
struck the plaintiff and in other ways
mistreated her. The plaintiff further
says that the defendant has failed
and neglected to provide her with the
necessities of life. The plaintiff states
that the defendant is the owner of
real estate in Mt. Vernon valued at
about $500, and that the said defend
ant is about to dispose of the prop
erty in order to defeat the plaintiff
in any claim that she might justly
have against him as his said wife.
The plaintiff asks for a divorce and
alimony and for an injunction re-
straining the defendant from selling
his property or disposing of his house
hold goods and furniture. A temper
airy restraining order has been al
lowed by Judge Berry of the probate
court. The attorney for the plaintiff

SYCHAR
Closed Sunday Night In The
Old.faShiOnGd Way
With An Enthusiastic March
Around Jericho"
Most Successful Meeting In
History Of SyChaf
Attendance On Sunday Larg-
est In Year
Next Years Meeting Occurs
August 4-lS

The consummation of the widest
hopes of those in charge of the hol-
mess meetings at Camp Sychar was
attained Sunday when an overflow
crowd infested the grounds. Over
$500 people passed through the gates
yesterday which brought the attend
ance on the grounds up to 5000. New
er in the annals of the camp have such
high-water mark figures been reached
and complete satisfaction is met with
and expressed on every hand. The
crowd was most orderly and seem
ed intent on but one thing-to hear
the gospel preached by the accom-
plished evangelists. No disorder Of
any nature was reported which is
next to miraculous in view of the
large number of people and the hot
weather. The Sychar fountain was
crowded to it's capacity all of Sun
day afternoon and the water was eag-
erly imbibed as fast as it flowed. This
was carried on to such an extent that
no water ran into the horse trough
and, consequently, the horses had "to
go dry"
The overflow meetings carried on
were great success. These were in
charge of Rev. Maughiman, who cap
ably handled this. hard line Of work.
Among the speakers were Mr.. Cor.
bin of Findlay, and Mr.. Howell of
Cambridge who held their audiences
spell-bound. In the tabernacle, Rev
c. B. Allen preached most effective
sermon on Perfect Love-" and set
forth some principles which took deep
root in the minds of his audience.
Rev. G. j. Fowler preached the clos.
ing sermon of the camp last evening
to the largest audience that has been
in attendance. He took his text from
the 18th chapter of Luke, oath verse:
"Strive to enter in at the strait
gate; for many, l say unto you,
will seek to enter in, and shall not
be able"
Mr.. Fowler divided his sermon in
it's makeup into three PROPOSE
tions 1st.-Many people fail because
of lack of endeavor. 2nd.-Because
they have done too much. 3rd.-Be
they have gone too far. The context
of the sermon was most interesting
and effective as was manifested by
the enthusiasm displayed on all sides
At the conclusion of the sermon, many
others addressed the congregation
and religious fire and zeal was kindl
ed up to such an extent that "Marcf
around Jericho" was started. There
were about two thousand people par
ticipating and it continued until 11;3'
o'clock. The grounds were thronget
with people completely wrapped VI
in sanctification who sang and gay'
vent to their overflowing spirits il
many other ways. Truly, 1t was not
able ending to the most all-'round sue

S)eech Of c. H.. Alexander
Continued from page one.)

bunal. White people of the South did
not differ on the ace problem, Sut DO
differ from the few who to further po-
litical ambitions, advocate the taking
of this question away from the South
ern white people to be settled for them
by a tribunal which does not under
stand the negro o ~sympathize with
the white people OF the South in their
position.
He reviewed briefly the legislation
of Congress and of Northern states
touching the social and political status
of the negro to show that the Northern
people, whether democrats or republi'
cans, do rot view the question as wedo
and cannot be safely trusted to finally
and irrevocably settle for US either the
political or social status of the negro.
| He stated that ever since the war the
hope and prayer OF the Southern white
men had been that Congress would let
this question alone, and now that the
negro is successfully eliminated from
politics in Mississippi, it was unfortu-
nate that the matter be agitated.
Surely, if the North has enough sympa-
thy for us, as some claim, to actively
work and fight Tor a repeal of the fif-
teenth amendment, it has sympathy
tenough to let us alone. He thought ii
would be far more reliable evidence of
the sentiment of the Northern people
if they would enact laws to prevent So
cial intermingling of the races or re
peal the civil rights laws for them thar
the testimony of some one man as t.
what The people of the North are read,
to do for US. In concluding his re
marks on this branch of the case, Mr.
Alexander asked an expression iron
the audience if there was a single MAJ
who favored taking this race question
to the general government for solution
but no n responded.
The speaker next proceeded fror
the discussion of men, stating that j
the character, record and association
of the man the voters would frequent
find a better guaranty of effcienc
than in the boasts or promises of tn
candidate. He stated that a senate
should be chosen with regard to his C;
pacity to get for the state what
wanted in the way of national legisl
ton, and that no man whose career hi
been one of antagonism and strif
breeding could successfully serve Il
state in the senate any more than SUI
a character could serve an employer
any line of business. He stated tn
what Mississippi wanted was her sha
of all the appropriations and benef
that could lawfully accrue from t
federal government-deeper waite
ways, the extension of rural route
soil tests, a system of parcel posts j
=; to shipper and buyer, the principle
which he favored.
H. Mr.. Alexander touched very brie
on his W life and career, stating Il
he asserted no claims upon the PEG,
of Mississippi, but that he appreciat
the confidence the people of the st;
had often manifested in him in ASST
ing to him a more or less promin'
part in every movement for refo
and the public welfare.
His speech was enlivened through
by many anecdotes, which seemed
have been selected not so much
cause they were amusing as beca
they illustrated. - Hazlehurst Couri
