EAGER FOR NEGRO'S DOLLAR
So Declared Booker Washington of
the White Man in an Address
to a Northern Audience.

NEBURGH N. Y.-Booker T.
Washington has no faith in the white
man permitting his colored brethren
getting a dollar ahead so long, as
the white man can get a chance at it
first. He was the guest of Lyman
Abbott, at Cornwall, and spoke aleng
these lines to the largest audience
ever gathered in the village.
Washington said a great many
prominent men expressed their opin-
ion that the negro race should be
kept to itself Washington said it
would need many walls to keep the
white man out, as they would be
afraid they would miss a dollar,
which they are always after. He
said a person may have 10 per cent
of blood in him from all the other
races but just as soon as it is learned
that he has 1 per cent of negro blood
he is classed as a negro. They were

BAPTISTS RAISE A MILLION
SHOW THAT SUM FOR
SCHOOLS AND MISSIONS.
Annual Convention of Georgia Bap-
lists Is Held in Rome With Six
Hundred in Attendance.

ROME.-The ninetieth annual
convention of the Georgia Baptists
met in this city last Tuesday and re-
manned in session until Friday.
The following officers were elect
ed; Dr., S, Y, Jameson, president;
A. W. Evans of Sandersville, J. NJ.
Dodd of Carrollton, ], G. Solomon of
College Park, and c. H. S. Jackson |
of Forsyth presidents; R. D. |
Barksdale of Forsyth secretary-treas-
urer. John D. Nell of Athens was
defeated for president.
The first breeze of the convention
came in a struggle for preferred
places on the program by several diff
ferent interests.
Reports Of the mission boards
showed that the convention had rails
ed more than a half million dollars
for that purpose, and reports from
the board of education showed that
similar amount had been raised
for the schools and colleges. Re
ports also show that this has been
the greatest year in the history of
the Bapiists of Georgia so far as
contributions to foreign missions
were concerned. The gifts to foreign
missions totaled $67, 897.97, gain
of $4,000 over last year. This is
the greatest amount Georgia Bap-
lists or the Baptists of any state ev-
er contributed to this cause in sin
gle year.
The Rev. Emmett Stephens, re-
turned missionary from China, spoke
and there was moving scene, some
| pledging money, some themselves
and some their children. In the af-
| ternoon the question of state mis-
sions occupied the time of the con-
vention.
One of the speakers was DR.. w. l..
| Pickard of Savannah. He paid an
eloquent tribute to the country
churches, and his tribute to the
christian home moved the audience
! to tears.
The matter of the removal Of Mer-
Ger University went over until next
years convention for consideration.
Moultrie was selected as the next
place of meeting on Nov 10, 1912.
! The convention sermon will be
preached by Rev. John F. Purser of
Atlanta or by Rev. Graham For

HUNTING TRAGEDIES.

Uncle Sam Has Begun the Keeping
of a Roster of Such Accidents.
A roster kept by the United States

tiles in this country already this year
has added to it Az names. From this
information the bureau hopes after
a few years to be able to deduce gen
eral principles which will be of val
ue in framing ''life-saving federal
and state game laws"
More than $50 persons were kill
ed last year in hunting accidents.
This was considerably larger than
the number in 1909, which in turn
was so per cent in excess of the
