Getting Rid of Moths.
Mrs. A. F. B-I have found turpen-
tine the best thing to rid trunks and
closets of moths. Hang the contents
Of your closets out in the sun for
day; wipe OFF the shelves and rub down
the walls with turpentine. When you
replace the clothing the moths will
quickly make their exit. Treat your
trunks in the same way.

ton that is meant to help our race
but stands ready to help and co-opes
ate with all other worthy organiza
tions.
Taking the Southern States as a
whole, l find that colored farmers last
produced four and a half million
bales of cotton valued at about $319,.
100000 Colored farmers in the South
produced last year 150,000,000 bushels
of corn valued at about $4,000, 900.
How many of these millions of dol
lars to-day remain in our hands, and
how much has parted from us?
THE colored farmers of the South
produced last year four and a half
million bushels of oats valued at
over two millions of dollars. They
produced last year $4,000 bushels of
wheat valued at nearly four million
dollars, and 98,0O0,00O pounds of to-
bacco valued at about nine million
dollars.
"It is estimated that the total value
of the farm products of colored farm
ers of the South last year amounted
to five hundred million dollars. In id
dition to what was produced by the
farmers, I am safe in saying that
those engaged in other gainful occu-
pations such as professional service,
domestic and personal service, and
trade manufacturing and merchant
cal pursuits earned last year at two
hundred million dollars, making the
total earnings of our race in the
South alone something over seven
hundred million dollars.
II repeat again and again that it
is the duty of the Negro minister
the Negro teacher, the Negro business
man, of the leaders of our race every
where to see to it that a larger pro-
portion of the tremendous amount
earned by our race is invested in
lands, houses, banks, schools, indus
trial institutions, colleges, churches,
so invested that it will remain for
all time in the possession of this gen.
Grafton and succeeding generations.
If ten per cent. only of our annual
earnings were set aside for such in
vestment as ! have suggested the
'hO law WOulu nave CNOly yOdl oON-
entv millions of dollars which would
so into itspermanent enrichment and
enlightenment.
Attention before it is too late to
our economic and industrial growth
will enable the ten million members
of our race in the United States to
escape many of the pitfalls into which
our race has fallen in Liberia, Haiti
and elsewhere.
Just in proposition as our race
gives heed to the development of its
economic and industrial opportuni-
ties will every school, college, univer-
sity and church be strengthened.
lust in proportion as we seize hold of
and use the tremendous economic and
material opportunities that are at
our door will every journalist, teach
er, minister, lawyer and doctor share
in the benefit and be strengthened.
'In all the respects to which I have
referred and many others, rich and
bountiful harvest awaits us as a race.
and in proportion as we enter it we
shall find friends and supporters
among white people and black peo-
pie. Let us, then, as a race every
where turn our faces away from the
setting sun of gloom and despair
toward the rising sun of hope and
determination"

The disgruntled white people who
raised such howl about the location
of the Negro department of the In.
terchurch College in their communi-
ty seem to have received assurance
from the general secretary that the
institution would not be established
on the proposed site. The Negroes
are very much disturbed over the
matter. They express themselves as
appreciative of any aid they can get
but they do not believe much good
can be accomplished with such an in
stitution unless the very best feeling
exists between all parties concerned.
DR.. McCullough's letter reads as fol-
lows
August 16, 1911 Nashville Indus
trial Bureau, Stahlman Building,
City-Gentlemen: I have carefully
read your courteous letter of the fif-
teenth, and also the accompanying
resolutions regarding the location of
the Negro department of the Ameri-
can Interchurch College It is graft
flying to me to observe the evident
interest you have in this undertaking
for the uplift of the colored race, and
I appreciate especially the financial
aid that has been given to this
movement by some of your members,
consequently regret very much that
you should be disturbed by conclu-
sions which are not based on authen-
tic Information regarding the real
intentions Of the Board of Directors
of the Interchurch College. No one
has been to the Office of the college,
which is now in the Stahyman Build
ing, to even try to get the facts.
Many members of the College Board
are among your most distinguished
and loyal citizens. It is impossible
for anyone who knows them to be-
lieve that they would for a moment
undertake to do anything which in
their judgment is not for the best in
terests of our good city.
ALLOW me to call your attention to
fact which is of infinitely greater
Importance to Nashville than any
question of location. The American
lnterchurch College for Religious and
Social Workers is attracting national
attention. The colored department is
a very small part OF this movement.
The outlook for the success of the
whole plan is very encouraging.
am getting letters from all over Ameri-
ca congratulating Nashville on being
the first city to undertake the estab-
lishment Of an Interchurch College of
this character. 1t seems that we have
the opportunity of actually leading
the nation in building this pioneer
institution with all it's departments.
What could be more unfortunate Just
now than for us to have misunder-
standing among ourselves? Will you
not, therefore, urge all inquirers to
come to my Office and give me the
opportunity and pleasure Of stating
our position? I am sure no one will
leave the Office with the slightest fear.
feel confident, too, that the college
may count on your earnest co-opera-
tion in this educational enterprise
which should be the pride of every
citizen; for it will make the whole
world debtor to our city and give
Nashville name that Is above every
name for social and religious service.
Thanking you for your kindness in
the matter, I am fraternally yours,
81 E. MoCULLOCH,

Commons Rejects
 Vote Of Censure
Balfour's Attempt to Discredit Asquith Government De-
 feated by 119 Majority

London, Aug. s-A vote of censure of the Government for having obtain ed from the King a pledge to create, if necessary, enough peers to pass the Lords veto bill, was rejected by the House of Commons last night by a majority of 119, the vote standing 365 to 246. The motion was introduced by Arthur J. Balfour, leader of the Opposition, and was based on the charge that MT. Asquith, the Prime Minister, had taken advantage of the Kings inexperience to bring about an abuse of the royal prerogative by se- curing the guarantees before the last general election. MT. -Asquith in re- ply to this charge asserted that the Ministers had pursued an entirely properly constitutional course. The result was that after the Premiers speech the debate on the Unionist side virtually collapsed.
 The chamber was filled to it's capac- ity. Peers and distinguished strang- CTS were present in large numbers The diplomatic and ladies' galleries were filled. the occupants including American Ambassador Reid and other diplomats.
