MORE BIRDS MOVEMENT.
The National Audubon Society's New
Undertaking.

The National Audubon Society's New
Undertaking.
NEW YORK, Oct. - To induce every
property-owner in the United States to
increase the number OF birds on his land
is the svowed purpose of a movement Just
launched in New York, according to an
announcement made by T. Gilbert Pear
son, secretary Of the National Association
of Audubon societies.
"ren thousand dollars have Just been
subscribed for this purpose" said Mr..
Pearson to-day. This new work, which
We may call the More birds Movement,
will consist, in part, of establishing
throughout the country many expert
mental stations for attracting birds.
Bird boxes, feeding and drinking devices,
and similar artificial apparatus, will be
set up in suitable places on estates to serve
as object lessons to all the people of the
region"
1t is understood that attractively-illus-
trated bulletins explaining this subject,
as well as the propagation OF grouse, quail,
wild turkeys, ducks and geese, will be
issued and given wide distribution. The
propaganda will also be furthered by
means Of lectures, slides and motion pic
lures.
This enterprise will be under the charge
OF Herbert x. Job, the wull-known author
and bird protectionist. Mr.. Job has re-
signed the office OF state ornithologist O!
Connecticut, where he won a wide repu-
tation as lecturer and bird culturist, and
will at once take up this work OF the
Audubon association. William Rookie
Teller, William p. Clyde, George Eastman,
Samuel Thorne and Edward G. Converse
are among the subscribers to the support
OF this promising new advance in Audi
bon work.

Dear Aaat Madoe:
Have been watching to see when the NJ. B.
reunion was to be, not that expected to at
tend but wanted to know when the others
of the clan were to have the feast of the year.
Thought would be able to write you quite a
letter, but taking ether leaves me with a
numb hand, probably as result of hurting the
nerve in the elbow last summer.
Have bid goodbye to my appendix, and
have done finely from the first. Wish every
one who has to have surgical case might
take it in time and get through with it as
easily as / have. The deed was done Monday
morning, Sept. n, and I was allowed to see
my sister that afternoon for few minutes.
Shall go to her home in q few days now.
Everybody has been good, and have had
all the fruit and flowers that could make
use Of.
Shall think Of you all at ''Hillcrest" on Oct.
8, and wish could be there to s.reune" and
enjoy the bountiful feast. Shall think of
Sunshine, too.
Best wishes for the day. from MOL.

THE NEGROES
Financial Aid Is Pledged For
Fight Against Ordinance
Effective Last May.

Louisville, KY. July 6.-Financial
support in testing the constitutional
ity Of an ordinance segregating ne
groes in Louisville was pledged by
several hundred negroes at a mass
meeting here Sunday. This action
was taken by the adoption of resolu-
tions after addresses had been de-
livered by DR.. j. E. Spingarn, of
New York, of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of ColOred
People, and Prof. William Pickens,
OF Talladega college, Talladega, Ala.
The segregation ordinance became
effective last May. 1t prohibits ne
groes from moving into city squares
in which most of the residents are
white. The same prohibition applies
to white people. DR.. Spingarn stated
that the National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored Poop e
would assist in the legal fight against
the law.

Former Governor Heard In
HOpkinSvilIe and At
Pembroke.
DEFENDS HIS ADMINISTRATION
And Charges That His 0ppO-
nentS are In Combination
To Beat Him.

A good crowd greeted former Gov
ernor j. c. W. Beckham at the court
house Saturday afternoon. About
$50 people were present, including a
number of ladies'. The meeting was
presided over by former State Sena-
tor Frank Rives, and Mr.. Beckham
was introduced by Rev. c. M Thomp-
son, pastor of the First Baptist
church Frequently during his
speech of two hours Mr.. Beckham
was enthusiastically applauded, es-
pecially when he championed prohi-
bition. which is a five issue locally
just now by reason of the movement
on foot to hold an election in this
county in September. Mr., Beckham
replied to various charges made
against him by Mr.. Stanley. and in
turn charged the latter with being
the tool of the liquor trust. He also
charged that Stanley and Governor
McCreary were in combination to
beat him. In the audience that heard
him were a good many Republicans,
white and colored, and some of them
joined in the applause.
Mr.. Beckham was in good voice
and his speech was delivered in a
dignified and conservative style. He
displayed no vehemence except when
defending his administration as Gov
ernor and denying that his former
employment as railroad attorney
identified him with the interests
as against the people,
In the afternoon he was taken to
Pembroke in an auto and spoke to
another audience at night that gave
him an attentive and appreciative
hearing.
