BILLY SUNDAY ON THE
NEGRO.


. {. =
In addressing large concourse
tof negroes In Atlanta the Rev
Billy Sunday told his hearers
that the Southern white peop le
were their best friends and that
s'the Sonth is as naturally your
home as Alaska is the home of
the Eskimo. The South cannot
get along without the negro and
the negro cannot get along any
where in the world as well as he
can in the south among bis
friends -
The following is quoted from
an able and well directed COM
ment in the Atlanta Constitu.
tion;
Billy Sunday, in his sermon to.
the negroes Monday night sound
ed the keynote of the whole So
called trace problem" and at the
same time pointed the way-the
only way to its solution swhen he
admonished the negroes to "base
your appeal (for better schools,
better living conditions, and
just treatment) on the bedrock
of good citizenship thus placing
upon the white people the recip-
rocal obligation to accord the
negro fair and just treatment.
The sermon was delivered to
the negroes of Atlanta but it is
one that should be read ponder
ed and needed by every citizen
of the South, white as well as
black. 1t was a sermon to both
races. In many respects it is an
epochal ntterance. 1t placed
squarely upon the colored man
the obligation to deserve before
demanding and it assured HIM
that 1sif you do Your part you
can depend upon the white man
doing his. !" thus inferentially
pointing to the duty that deyel-
ops upon both races and equally
upon both. No negro heard that
sermon but who governing his
future actions in accordance
with it, viii be better citizen
and more helpful TO his race and
to society in general and no
white man can read it without
Tbeing impressed with the fact
THAT it contains mighty good ad
vice for both races.

A BAD YEAR FOR TICKS.

r y
Here are some of the reasons
why December /, 1917, will be a
memorable day in the Southern
States:
An area greater than ever be
fore freed from Federal quaran-
tine against the cattle fever
tick will have been released be
tween March and December.
A broad wedge of free terri.
tory will have been driven
through the tick lines to the
Gulf of Mexico.
More than half of the 728, ,565
square miles heavily infested
in 1906 will have been pronoun-
ced clean.
Farmers will be free 20 ship
their cattle to the great markets
for competition on their own
meelts with other cattle, and not
under the quarantine handicap
which requires sale at buyers
prices for immediate slaughter.
Cattle will increase in value,
weight, milk production, appear
ance, health, productivity and
length Of life.
Farmers will be able to bring
20 their farms Better stock and
thus raise the standard of their
herds.
The Southern States will
have taken big strides toward
their position as a great cattle
raising country, to which their
natural advantages entitle them

RIGHT OF RECALL IS
LEFT.

The State Tax Commission
known as the State Equalization
Board, is the most autocratic,
and dogmatic power in Missis-
sippi today.
1t does absolutely as it pleases
arrogating to itself rights, pow
ers and privileges that a Gar
would hesitate to assume.
1t has no respect whatever. for
the opinion Of others, and who'll
~ disregards the action and
wish of boards supervisors, their
decisions and findings with the
lordly indifference Of a Kaiser.
If the next Les islature does
not clip this Tx Commissions
wings, II will fail in its duty
to the taxpayers of the State,
both great and small.
This so called Equalization
Board, Tax Commiss on, or
whatever name it may be known
by, was born in the cradle of
political necessity, If not for
a political purpose. 1t is
Arrogant,
Autocratic,
Arbitrary,
Dictatoriai,
Domineering,
Dogmatic,
Presumptous.
1t has lorded it over the people
with the self sufficient eg otism
of King born to the purple, or
enjoying Divine rights, which
must be respected-its dogmatic
dictum to. be accepted without
mnrmer or right of appeal.
The next Legislature Will
have the authority to trim up
the State Tax Commission, to
restrict and reduce its powers
But should it fail to do SO, the
people of Mississippi, the great
body Of the masses who own the
State and provide its revenues,
will have the right of recall,
right to recall an equalization
board that has produced more
disturbance, unnecessarily stir.
red up more hades than all the
other agencies of mischief ever
hatchsd in the State.
And once the right of recall is
invoked, the State Tax Commits
sion will be swept off its feet as
speedily as was the game law
annihilated and trampled under
the feet of the indignant masses.
The people of Mississippi have
submitted to almost enough
from the autocratic, dogmatic
and dictatorial Tax Commission,
and may be depended upon to
smite it in its hour of might,
hurting it from place and power,
and RELOCATING its members to
the shadows of the past.--Olari-

AIDING THE ENEMY.

permissable that is not directly

N|[SO N MAKES AN APPEAL II
 HOUSEWIVES

WASHINGTON, Aug. '. - A mem- orable appeal from President Wilson
 Q the women of the nation. whether
 living in city, town or country, was
 issued today through Secretary of Ag riculture D. r. Houston, to take i'm mediate steps to avoid a threatened loss of vast amounts of perishable
 ruits and vegetables. especially in 24 states that have asked governmental assistance and information on the subject of How Housewives May Inn mediately Start Canning, Preserving Picking Drying and Storing
 The advance organization work has all been completed by special com mittee working nationally under the direction of Secretary of Agriculture Houston, and the moNf intensive cam paign, especially in the 24 states in distress. will be conducted during the next three weeks
 The 24 states which have grown large crops of perishable fruits and vegetables, which it is necessary to conserve in order to avoid appalling wastes of those foodstuffs, are: Ari- zona. Colorado, Connecticut. Idaho, In diana. Iowa. Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska. New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Caro- lima, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota. Tennessee. Utah, Yer mont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wis consin and Washington.
 One point made by President Will son in his letter are particularly i'm portant:
 Every bushel of potatoes properly stored. every pound of vegetables pro perly put by for future use, every jar of fruit preserved, add that much to our insurance of victory. add that much to hasten the end of this con flict To win we must have maximum efficiency in all directions. We can not win without complete and effec- tive concentration of all our efforts"
 Owing to the shortage in the supply of tin containers, most of the preserv- ing and canning will have to be done in glass jars, of which 900,000 gross, of the Mason jar type, have been dis tributed through the manufacturers for the present seasons needs. The total manufacturing capacity of this type of jar, which will be increased by the manufacturers as necessary, is approximately coco gross per day. or s5,G09,000 jars during the next hun dred days.

 MADE
Special to the Times)


 ANCHORAGE, Aug. 6. - All roads lead to Anchorage on September 8, and 5, the red letter days in the calendar of that hustling young me- tropolis. The occasion is the first an nual Alaska Agricultural Industrial Fair, the initial celebration of the ad- vance made in the varied lines of in dustry by the residents of Cook Inlet during the past two years.
 It is not the purpose of the manage ment to confine the enterprise to the section contiguous to Anchorage alone, but general invitation has been cordially extended to the various chambers of commerce of Alaska to take part in the fair and make use of 1t to the advantage of their respec- tive communities as we'll. It is in tended to be truly representative of every section of the Northland, work. ing toward the end that what benefits Alaska as whole will in like pro portion accrue to the benefit of each individual town and community. The general aim is to call the attention of the world to the resources of this great territory that they may be pro- perly appreciated at their true value and the rapid development of the country thereby obtained.
 Under the direction of Mir Andrew Christensen, manager of the land and industrial department of the govern ment railroad, as chairman of the gen eral committee in charge of the fair, score of subcommittee are dili- gently engaged in the task of having every industry and activity fully rep resented at the exposition These committees have been carefully chosen with view of having each de- partment entrusted to persons thor oughly competent to undertake the work in hand. The finance committee is being handled by bankers and busi- ness men; agriculture by farmers and merchants; mining by groups inter- ested in producing properties; domes- tic science by the ladies. Each com mittee is affording full cooperation with the other, and written reports are submitted to the general commit tee for prompt action and decision. In this way the greatest measure of success is assured.
 Every resource of Alaska will be represented among the exhibits. The coal of the Matanuska and Chickaloon districts, the precious metals of Will low creek and Broad Pass, the farm produce of the valleys of the Susitna and the Matanuska; all will be requi- sitioned and properly displayed Nor will the native population be over looked. They will be called on for an exhibit of their art and craft, as will the trapper with his furs and belts. The manufacturers, both local and out sider, will have displays of their fin shed products; the fishing compan- es of Seward, Cordova, Seldovia and Cook Inlet will be asked to join hands n a proper portrayal of that great industry which has enriched the tables of the world and the coffers of their

GERMAN PRICE ON HIS HEAD.
Captain Miller, Who Sank U Boat,
 Sails For War Zone Again.

Smiling and shouting a cheery good by to several friends on the pier, Cap tain William Miller, master of the British steamship Clan Robertson, on whose head the German admiralty has set a reward of S2O,OO0, stood on the bridge of his vessel the other day as she was being lowed out ready to put to sea from Baltimore. Captain Mil Ter. as master of the steamship Clan MacFayden, gave orders which result ed in the sinking of a German subma- rine and the loss of all on board In the Bay of Biscay about a year ago. For this feat he received a prize of $5,OOO.
 No sooner had the full facts of the affair been made public than the Ger man admiralty notified all its subma- rine commanders that S2O,O00 would be paid to the man who captured Cap tain Miller.
 About a year ago the Clan MacFay- den stopped at Gibraltar to take aboard gun and two gunners. A short time afterward a submarine fired sohd shot across the bows of the freighter, the signal to heave to. Captain Miller ordered full speed ahead and told the gunners to stand by their gun. A sec ond shot from the underwater boat tore away two ifeboats, another de- molished the funnel and deck house, and another put hole in the bow Of the ship.
 All this time the gun on the after deck was being fired, but no hits were scored. The submarine was rapidly overtaking the Clan MacFayden when shot from the freighter struck her amidships. The U boat sanl, and the MacFayden continued on her voyage.
 Captain Miller was then placed In command of the Clan Robertson. On his present voyage he will again face the perils of the submarine zone.

5000 HONOR GUARD GIRLS
 OFFER FIRST AID TO HOMES
Will Give Services to President if War Comes-To Take Places
 of Men Who Join CoIOrS.

Six thousand girls, from fourteen to thirty years old, are ready to aid If war comes. Miss Theodora Booth, president of the Girls National Honor guard, has offered the services of all members to President Wilson.
 The honor guard Is strictly a first aid body. There are three training divisions in first aid-to the wounded. to families and general utility.
 Members of the organization must be proficient in at least one of the fol lowing: Plain cooking. care of chil- drcn. letter writing and reading, driY- ing automobiles, riding, swimming and shooting, management of motor and sail boats, telegraphy and wireless codes and knowledge of geographical locations of states. principal cities, forts and hospitals.
 "Our idea Is not to conflict with oth- CT women's organizations, but rather to supplement their work" said Miss Booth recently. If the men are called to defend our COlors their wives will have to be the business heads of the home, which will make 1t hard, partic- ularly for the women with children. Our girls, however, will be able to step into the homes of women who have to 20 out to work and care for their | children.
 Nearly every state in the Union IS represented in our movement, and we have the indorsemeut of forty-tive gov ernors. Any girl with willingness to help her country can join our ranks.
 I've propose to utilize the schools throughout the country as evening classrooms for instruction in the va rious branches of service. and we are now classifying the girls for useful oc- equations in which they may serve during distress from any calamity. Also, 1t is our intention to ask congress for $25O,OOO for forming and maintain ing training camps for girls"
 The national advisers of the honor guard are General Wood, Ballington Booth, Rear Admiral Nathaniel R. Ush- CT and General O'Ryan of New York.
