Mike became foreman at twenty-five

Kathleen lived quite comfortably.
Times changed. The mill %prospered.
Ellery became a very rich man indeed.
The sight of Mike, and the knowledge
of the unfair advantage that he had
taken, haunted old Ellery. His only
son, who would inherit the mill, was a
worthless scamp. The thought that it
should have been half Mikes, that his
own son had gone to college on what
ne had squeezed out of the old man,
was gall to him. He offered Mike
five thousand dollars-the utmost that
his avarice would permit--if he would
leave.
Mike Donahue proved amazingly
obdurate. He liked the work, he loved
the old mill, he would not know what
to do with himself if he left. He re-
fused the offer-and then Ellery died.
Jim Ellery's first act was to dis
charge the old employee. When Mike.

agreement, he took him back as a

In clearing away their agricultural
exhibits from the courthouse. says a
dispatch from Normal, Ala, the Ne
groes of Madison county wound up one
of the most significant agricultural
meetings which has ever been held
in this section. The meeting was
called to order by Prof. P. c. Parks,
director of agriculture at the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college for Ne
groes at Normal, and agents for the
Smith-Lever extension fund in the
Tennessee valley.
The courthouse was decorated with
the choicest products of the Tennessee
valley and the walls were placarded
with pointed epigrams which indicate
that the Negroes are waking up to
the latest ideas in farming. The OBJ
ject of the conference was, Alabama
Must Feed Herself. The audience
was made up principally of Negro ten
ants and land owners, but there was
a large number of white people pres
ent also. Speeches were made by
prominent white landlords, among
them Mr.. Roe of Triana. From Mr..
Roe's address it would appear that the
large land owners of the Tennessee
valley are anxious to join in any move
ment which will tend to improve the
efficiency and happiness of their ten
ants.
The meeting was opened by David
A. Grayson, chairman of the board of
trustees of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical college at Normal, who in
troduced Ed Johnston. who in turn
presented Congressman B. B. Almon,
who delivered the principal address.
Congressman Almon spoke at length
upon the natural u of the Ten
nessee valley and the superior agri-
cultural advantages which 1t offers.
He said that the one-crop system has
throttled the South since the Civil
a and caused the southern farmers
to be borrowers instead of lenders.
He said hat only Is per cent of the
western farm lands are under mort
gage, while IS per cent of the south
ern farm lands are under mortgage.
Congressman Almon favors a rural
credit system with low interest and
long term payments. He seems to
regard rural credit, crop diversified
ton and intensive farming as the sal.
walton of the South.
DR.. w. H. Nixon, presiding elder of
the Huntsville district of the African
Methodist Episcopal church, made a
very brief and apt response to the ad-
dress of Congressman Almon in which
he urged more friendly relations be-
tween the and paid high tribute
to the friendship of the white man for
the Negro.
In closing the conference. President
Buchanan called attention to the fact
that in the Tennessee valley alone are
about 1900 Negro tenants, 1,500 Ne
gro farm owners and about rs, 900 Ne.
gro boys and girls of school age who
must be the future Negro farmers OF
this valley. This great host of 25.-
900 Negro farm workers must be
! taught to improve their own efficiency
and the productive power of the soil
which they cultivate and be made bet
ter satisfied with life upon the farm
To this end he expressed great salts
faction in the fact that Negro ten
ants and owners had assembled in this
conference and discussed in the most
encouraging manner the most funda
mental problems of rural life, namely
better farming, better religious and ed
vocational facilities and better rela
lions between landlords and tenants

Justice Mccoy of the federal Su-
preme court dismissed an amended bill
of complaint filed by H. N. Johnson of
Louisiana and other colored men
against Secretary McAdoo of the treas
ury department. The plaintiffs sought
to establish a lien for themselves and
the descendants of former slaves on
an alleged fund of $6S, 072. 3S8.99 said
to have been collected by internal rev.
enue officers on the cotton picked and
prepared for the market through the
services of their ancestors, as slaves.
Secretary McAdoo, through United
States Attorney Laskey and Assistant
United States Attorney Archer, moved
to quash the proceeding on the ground
that Mr.. McAdoo had no personal in,
terest in the fund in question, and that
tho proceeding was an attempt to sue
the United States for property In its
possession. If the plaintiffs had any
right, the defendant claimed, they had
lost it by delaying too long their eff
fort to establish it.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with a mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In "a hours
they strain from il 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance Of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink lots of water--you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast each morning for few
days and your kidneys viii act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid OF grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is source Of irri-
tation, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
iure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then TO keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became OF
your kidney trouble and backaehe.
