We have some long lived persons in
our neighborhood. One old colored
woman is 93 or more. She can re-
member before the war, when she was
cooking for her master. She can walk
four or five miles in a day. She has
great great grandchildren and could
cook. etc, until few weeks ago when
she went blind. Before that she had
her second eyesight.
All are busy preparing for Christ

The delegates who failed to meet

ed good meeting. The program as
printed was carried out. The ladies
who were assigned subjects, and who
were present, had carefully prepared
addresses The gracious welcome ex-
tended by Mrs. Clara Vets. the happy

The papers read by Mesdames Matte
Bobo and Bessie Smith on How to get

suggestions and showed much thought
That sickness prevented Mrs. A. b.
Barksdale from being present was very
much regretted but she showed her
interest in the work by sending her
paper which was read by her co-labor-
er Mrs. George. Any church is for
tunate to have such splendid workers
as these two ladies.
The discussions We're entered into
heartily and the impromptu speech
es by the different members were one
OF the very enjoyable features. Es-
pecially did we enjoy the words of
welcome and admonition, of one, who
though not member of our union, vet
who spent her girlhood at the Ridge.
More than one eye grew moist with
sympathetic interest when Mrs. Bob
Gray, one of our visitors said feelingly
and reVerently that she always felt

place on earth To foster this love

this love Will be found good workers

The newspaper interviews given

That weighty matters will be de-

from the fact that the Austrian and

CITY CLUB HEARS DIX BLAMED.
Civil Service Reform Associa tion
Finds Lengthy Fault with Him.

Gov Dix came in for three columns
~ criticism In the report Of the Civil
Service Reform Association. which was
read al the annual meeting OF that or
sanitation last night at the City Club.
The association regretted. so the report
said. that It had to record that the
administration OF the civil service law
in the State has continued to be an
administration of unredeemed pledges
and violation OF faith with the people"
And there were many other passages
IN which the Governor was reprehe nded
As for President Taft and Mayor Gay
nor. to their administrations was ac-
corded quite different sort of treat
ment.
Comptroller Prendergast. who made
the principal speech to the members Of
the association. was not so easy on the
Mayor. He said, in reply to the words
with which Samuel H. Ordway. presi-
dent Of the Civil Service Reform Asso-
citation. introduced him. that he had
asked TO speak at the meeting in order
tn set To rights what had been said
about the conduct OF affairs In the FL
nance Department at "A dinner Of the
association year ago The man who
spoke then Of the Comptrolier's depart
ment was Mayor Gaynor.
ITS a little rough" said the Comp
troller. when somebody else SAYS the
same things that YOU have been think
ing for number Of years, and doing
them too. and when that somebody
says them with flourish as though he
We're the originator himself But let me
tell YOU tnat the man who was spoken
Of Al your dinner has already been doing
things he was charged with not doing.
He had helped To blaze the way But
let us he glad for all the followers We
get"
The Comptroller also remarked that
he guessed he had taken care of that
gentleman in the correspondence which
followed the Mayors speech.
Mr.. Prendergast went on to tell what
his position is in the matter OF civil
service appointments. He said that
when he first became Register o' Kings
county he had tried to follow the
reg ilations. He found in the first year.

tions from political friends for the sec

the arguments were usually thos" o'
friendship or political service Some
times the requests for Job came IRON
the opposing political party. The Comp
troller had had 10 make II rule To take
only those who stood first on the list.
This method, he said. was all right IN
