GAIA, a Place of Trade.

In almost every particular the mod

Il Syrian town. 1t is full of rich Vege-

innurnerable olive trees. GAIA is still,
as Of old, a place of trade, of camels
and cara vans and it's bazaars are LOUD
with traffic and filled with merchan'

The truth is that fateful hour in

"Will this historic hour pass with

with imperishable laurels?
This mortal to whom the finger
points is the man who happens at
this moment to be the president of
the United States. To him both
groups of belligerents could make re-
paratory their resolutions, intentions
and ambitions"
That is just about what We said
a year ago, that is the portion which
says that Wilson is a man Of destiny,
and to him would come the honor anu
the privilege Of bringing peace to the
world, and we believe that this is to
be What he will be able to do. And
when it is done he will have a great
part in the making Of a new world.

there could be some system in the
work and some good could be accom-
plished, but where the work is done
by a dozen or more organizations II
spreads the butter so thin that no

little something through such y
board a good sum could be secured
and something worth while could be
done. And as we say, if is Was

Talking about cattle raising and
diversified farming we cannot help
quoting an editorial from The Her
al1 and News of nearly ten years
ago. We have said several times re-
Gently that We were pleased to see
that the people we're beginning to do
what We begged them and advised
them to do years ago.
In its issue Of May 8, 1908, The Her
aid and News said editorially:
'We call the attention of our farm
ers to the article IN this issue on the
subject of stock raising in South
Carolina by W. W. Price and ask
that they look at the figures given by
the government. Just think of lit
tie State like South Carolina sending
cut every year s3,OoO,e0o for horses
and mules and trying to raise cotton
for less. than cost to pay for them.
We could raise great many of these
horses and mules right here and at
greater profit than We grow cotton.
But that is not ALL Not only do We
send this large sum out of the State
for horses and mules but We also send
off for the corn and hay to feed them.
This we should and can grow ri@h-
here. Not only ,Nill it be well for
South Carolina to reduce the acre
age in cotton in order. to secure bet
ter prices but we should do it for the
purpose Of giving more attention to
stock raising and the growing of corn
and hay with which to feed the stock.
another matter that should>have the
attention of our farmers is the rails
ing Of cattle. 1t is a very difficult
matter to secure native beef and most
Of that that is sold or our markets
is western beef. We believe it would
pay to raise more beef cattle These
are matters our farmers should con-
sider."

A WORD FROM THE SUPREME
LODGE SESSION.

LODGE SESSION,
By Sir H. Gould, grand chancellor of
the Iowa Jurisdiction.
When you come to consider the fact
that the majority of all the leading
conventions of both clubs and lodges
have been called off on account of war
times and the high cost of living, yet
the supreme lodge of the Knights of
Pythias, the biggest convention Of Ne
groes that ever came together at one
time, met in it's 10th biennial session
in St. Louis, NO., August 10 to rs, in
elusive. We arrived in St. Louis on
Sunday morning, August 10Th, on
time, that we might be present at the
beginning, and we stayed until the
end, which was Saturday evening, Au-
gust 25th. at 7:30 p. m. And it was
an inspiration which l can never for
get. We were there on strictly official
business and we wish to inform all
who have been watching for the out
come of the trouble which has been
hanging between the Iowa jurisdiction
and North Star lodge, No. 8, X. of P,
which was most tremendously settled
between US and the supreme lodge,
and North Star was ordered reinstated
and all it's property and other va!u-
ables returned back to them.
