An Obituary

Sacred 10 the memory of our beloved
brother and Deacon John H. Wilkinson
of East Palatka, whom God in his divine
wisdom saw fit to remove from our
midst January the 9Th. 1912.
He no longer considers the perplexing
problems of this earthly life, but donneS
the heavenly blessings. He at the early
age OF twenty enlisted in the Indian war
and served as soldier through 1S56-57,
He also served in the civil war OF 1861
IS as a confederate soldier.
Bro. Wilkinson was born at Waldo,
Fla, Nov. 18th, 1886, was married TO
Miss Elizabeth Green July 9th, 1869. On
September 18th, 1871, he submissiveIy
adhered 10 the call of our Savior who
said, "Follow me-, and was united by
baptism TO Bethesby church, being bap
tized by Bro Berryan BeckS.
Bro. Wilkinson united with the BoSt
wick Baptist church on Nov. 9TH, 1897,
and was ordained deacon for this church
on March the 18th, 1898, retaining this
office until the angel of death called his
spirit 10 eternal rest at the age of IS
years.
He was buried at Bostwick church
with many OF his kindred and friends
who had gone before where the sad
pines over his resting place sing, peace
sweet peace" Gently and reverently
did many loving friends cover his new
made grave with beautiful floral offer
ings. Then they with submissive hearts
left their beloved with God, our creator.
Our siacere sympathies are ever with
the bereaved companion, family and
friends. May the supreme comforter
comfort you in your sorrows.
Resolved; That copy of this mem
orial be spread upon our minutes of this

WHITE SLAVERY IN

THE SENATE.
CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE
Presidet Taft Orders Attorney Gen.

Washington.-The Lawrence mills
strike occupied the attention of both
houses of congress, President TAT.
and Attorney General Wickersham.
Two resolutions directing an inyesti-
CATION Of conditions by Federal au-
thorities were introduced, but no ac-
ton was taken upon them.
President Taft, however, at the re-
quest of Representative Berger, ask
ed Attorney General Wickersham to
ascertain if any Federal laws had
been violated by local authorities,
who prevented the removal of chill

Both houses of congress rang with

Lawrence, introduced a resolution di-
recting an inquiry by the United
States commissioner Of labor.
Senator Lodge objected to any in.
reference with the affairs of his state
in which he was supported by Sen
ators Bailey, Williams, Overman and
others.
Senator Bailey quoted Senator Till
man as saying the Lawrence strike
had revealed conditions in Massachu
sets similar to those in the slave
states before the Civil war.
"They have substituted white slav
cry for black slavery" shouted Sen
ator Tillman.
"The condition is no worse than
under the Democratic tariff" retorted
Senator Gallinger.
Are those the working people for
whose benefit the protective tariffs
acts have been enacted?" asked Sen
ator Stone of Missouri? And is it
true" he continued, "that the aver
age wage paid in the Massachusetts
mills is only 81 a week?'
The questions aroused the ire OF
Senator Gallinger, and he replied
with some asperity that the influence
of the tariff on industrial conditions
would be discussed in due time.
