CENSORSHIP LOSES
BY One MAJORITY
CLAUSE AS TO PRESS STRICK.
EN-. CENSORSHIP OPPOSED
BY GEORGIA SENATORS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-By a ma
jority of one vote the senate to-day
entirely eliminated the administra-
TONS hard fought newspaper censor
ship section from the espionage bill,
and then by an overwhelming vote
defeated an attempt to reinsert the
section in a different form.
The press censorship clause was
stricken on motion of Senator john
son, of California, by vote of 80 to
80. After the censorship clause had
been stricken Senator Kirby, of Ar
kansas, introduced an amendment
providing for definite and specific
press censorship under the supervis-
ion of the secretaries of war and
the navy, but this was defeated, 35
to 5.
May Be Deadlock in Conference.
This section, if permitted to stand
on final passage, leaves the house on
record in favor of the censorship
and the senate against it, and prob
ably will throw the question into a
conference committee for settlement,
where the fun force of the admins
tration will be exerted to put a CEN
sorship through in some form.
Senators Smith and Hardwick both
voted against newspaper censorship.

TO MAMIE CALLAWAY ON
HER FIFTEENTH BIRTHDAY

In the business of the May time,
In the fullness of the spring,
when the air is filled with sweet
ness,
And the bird is fleet of wing;
When their gladstone chirp and twit-
ter
Thrilleth all the earth with song)
There was born sweeter carol,
All our happy hearts among.
For gladstone heart of music
Came to US that happy day,
And the newborn babe of Maytime
Was the child of melody.
May her life flow on in music,
Bringing JOY and peace to all,
Leading lives from earth to heaven,
In the cadence of its call
And the souls her day has strength
ened,
To bright labor here arise,
And thro' endless years forever,
Swell the music Of the skies.
Child of joy and light and sunshine,
Born in music, love and flowers,
May be all thy years of living
Filled with happy, joyous hours.

MISS MARY E. MITCHELL
FOUND DEAD IN BED
Was Apparently in Good Health
When She Retired Night Before.

Was Apparently in Good Health
When She Retired Night Before.
Friends and relatives of Miss Mary
Mitchell were shocked when the news
of her death spread over the village
Monday morning. Her death was un-
expected to every one. She retired
Sunday night at the accustomed
hour, in as apparently good health as
any one could wish. She seemed so
cheerful that her sister, Mrs. Ay-
cock, noticed her appearance.
Early the next morning on being
called to breakfast and not respond
ing, friends rushed to her bedside
and found it too late for medical at
tention. She seemed to have been
dead some time. '
Miss Mitchell had reached the
three score year and one. She was
born June 6, 1856, and died May z,
1917.
It may we'll be said of her that
she was as good a Christian lady as
the writer ever met. She having in
early life united herself with the
Missionary Baptist church. She ever
tried to be friend and a pleasure
to those around her, and had won the
love of all those that knew her. Her
honest, pure and upright life should
be an example for others to adopt.
Oh, how sad it make us not to hear
her loving voice and footsteps. We
cannot hardly realize that she has
been called away from US, but God
knoweth best; He doeth all things
well. He needed her in His kingdom,
so we must be contented and feel
happy to know that she was saved.
The deceased is survived by four
sisters. She had one sister and one
brother who preceded her to the
grave just two and one years res
pectively.
After most impressive ceremony
at the grave, by Rev. j. L. Smith,
she was laid to rest beside her sis
ter's grave, in that peaceful sleep
that no one can awake but her Saw
ior.
God needed our loved one;
He had a vacant seat,
So He called his angel
To make the list complete.
Rest, rest, our departed loved one,
Never to awake on this earth
no more,
And we will strive to meet you
On that happy celestial shore.
ONE WHO LOVED HER. i!

INFLUX OF NEGROES
BECOMES SERIOUS
FIFTEEN HUNDRED REACH GIN
cINNATI IN ONE DAY. SEW
ERAL BLOODY RIOTS.

CINCINNATI,O.-A most serious
situation exists in this city to-day as
3 result of the increasing influx of
negroes, particularly from Central
Georgia and Western Tennessee. Fiji
teen hundred arrived here last night
in one shipment, resulting in several
minor bloody riots between the in
corners and the whites they are dis
placing.
Prominent social workers met the
negroes at the depots and begged
them not to leave the depot, scores
of the strangers being compelled to
sleep on the floors of the Central
Union railroad station. Every room
of the Ninth street branch of the Y.
NJ. C. A. was occupied last night by
as many as fourteen negroes to the
room, while thirty slept in the cor
~idors.
Fifteen negro families are being
cared for and fed at the Park street
church. Miss Jennie D. Porter, prin-
cipaI of the Harriet Beecher Stowe
public school, called upon the city
mayor and demanded immediate ac-
ton by the police and the sanitary
authorities.
Each week, Miss Porter told Mayor
Puchta, the situation is becoming
more serious.
Over a hundred thousand negroes
have come into the Central states
from various Southern states within
the past six months. Few find houses
and most are camping out in tents in
vacant waste lands near the large
cities.
