THE SHIP OF STATE.

The following poem. by Henry w. Longfel-
low, personfed the government, the Constitu
ton and the laws-addressing them here as the
Ship of State.
Thou too, sail on, Q Ship of State
Sail on, Union, strong and great!
Humanity, with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathess on thy fate
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What Workmen wrought thy ribs of steel
Who made each mast and sail and rope;
What anvs rang, what hammers beat
In what forge and what heat
Were forged the anchors of thy hope
Fear not each sudden sound and shock
'Tis of the wave, and not the rock;
Tis but the tapping of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock, and tempest roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee.
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith, triumphant Ger our fears,
Are all with thee, are all with thee

GOOD ADVERTISERS
 SUCCEED IS CLAIM
Merchants Who Advertise DOn't
 Fail, Says Speaker

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 19.-On all the failures of retail merchants during the last three years, not one ''adver- tised religiously," T. K. Kelly, Minne- apolis banker and business man, de- clared here today in stressing the value of newspaper advertising to delegates attending the annual Southern Mer- chants Retail Conference.
 "The public" he asserted, 'shas un- limited confidence in newspaper ad- vertising and the importance of this feature of modern business cannot be overestimated."
 T. B. Warriner, of Lawrenceville, Va,. prehdent of the conference, ex- pressed the opinion that business con ditions throughout the country have recorded a distinct improvement and in another part of his address, also em- phasized the importance of newspaper advertising.
 Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, is scheduled to address the conference to- morrow.
 Retail merchants from Georgia, West Virginia, South Carolina, North Caro- lima, Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia are in attendance.

COOLIDGE E HOST
 TO EDISON
Harvey FirestOne Also In Distinguished Party
 At Plymouth

PLYMOUTH, Vt, Aug. 1e.-Presi' dent Coolidge shared his vacation today with Thomas Edison, Henry Ford Harvey Firestope and the latter's son, Russell.
 For an hour the distinguished party stopped at the home of John Coolidge father of the President, visiting with the family on the front porch, inspect. ing the grounds and town and good humoredly posing for pictures. They were also on vacation, driving through en route to Montreal, Canada.
 Calling principally to pay their re spects, the visitors gave little time during the stop for a discussion of politics or business but each assured the President of his support and predicted success for Mir. Coolidge in the election All lauded the present administration and gave enthusiastic reports on busi- ness conditions as well as on political affairs in brief interviews. The party enrolled in the "home town Coolidge club" at Ludlow, where they stayed last night and each wore the club but ton on his lapel.
 Ford Gets Present
 The President, hearing of their ap-
  proach. went up to the sugar lot on the farm early this morning and brought down a sap bucket, made for and used by his great-great grand. father, an original settler of Plymouth, which he presented to Mir. Ford. The bucket was used also by Mir. Coolidge as a boy in collecting maple sdp and the party listened with interest as he told of its history.
 Handing it over to Mir. Edison, for inspection, Mir. Ford remarked he ap. preciated the gift "more than any since got Mrs. Ford"
 The tiny porch of the Coolidge home was crowded and after sitting in the canvas swing and straight-back chairs there for while, the party moved to the front lawn, Mrs. Coolidge going with MT. Edison to inspect the flower garden in front.
 The party then walked up the road to the cheese factory, Plymouth's lone industrial plant, and after a tour of the

 that indefinable atmosphere which makes them interesting public figures
 The other reason is the possibility that Dawes, Bryan or Wheeler may be president should the election be thrown into Congress. His would come about, if at all, through failure of the evenly divided House to elect president should the electoral college fail to give any of the three a majority. The constitu- tion provides that in event the House is unable to elect by March 4, the Senate shall ballot on the two highest vice presidential candidates, the victor to become president.
 Candidates COlOrful
 But aside from this possibility, which is entirely hypothetical, there is a gem uine interest in the three candidates who are far from the colorless and in- offensive political hacks who are so often picked up at the tail end of a convention to complete the ticket.
 Of the three, Dawes is the best known probably because of the cussing- out he gave Congress, his work as in augurator of the federal budget sys- tenn, and his part in drafting the Euro pean reparations plan which bears his name. His musical compositions and his underslung pipe have given him more fame. The bitterness of organized labor toward Dawes for his opposition to the closed shop has made him one of the principle targets of the anti-re- publican campaign so that he, almost as much as Coolidge, has become an issue.

White People Are SlaDes
 Of African Negro Colony

LONDON, Aug. 19.-Out of the great African interior by way of Capetown comes a pathetic story of a group of white men and women who are living in a state of subjectio nto blacks who exercise complete mastery over them.
 The tragic fate of these unfortunate whites has just been revealed in re- port which officials of the South African governments Locust expedi- ton, now. in the interior of the great Kalchari desert have sent to Capetown. The expedition went into the interior to study the breeding grounds of lo- eustS. a ..t..t
 When they arrived at MolopOleE a hundred miles in the interior of the interior of the desert, the officials were taken before Sebele. the paramount na- tive chief. They found him well ed ucated, able to speak English fluently and both he and his wife wore Europ- can clothes.
 The visitors discovered some 50 white men and women living near the chiefs Kraal where they act as servants to

the chief and his followers. They are thought to the descendants of old Dutch pioneers, who, trekking into the inter for, lost themselves in the desert. Their horses, overcome with the draught, died and the pioneers flung themselves on the mercy of the natives.
 These unfortunates have no power to own land and no privileges of any kind They are virtually serfs to the natives, tilling the land of their black masters, who give them small quantities of grain as wages.
 The natives around Molopolole are rich both in cattle and land. They carry rifles but the whites are not permitted to possess fire arms. Chief Sebele dispenses justice to all his tribe the Beehuana-who are recognized as the aristorcacy of the Kalahari.
 The Kalahari desert forms the west ern part of British Bechuanaland and is about 120,O0O square miles in extent. It was first crossed to Lake Ngay by Dr. Livingston in 1S49.

STOPPED HIS
 RHEUMATISM
 TEN YEARS AGO
Mir. Aruthr D. Lynn, Tampa, Florida, Took TayIOr's Blood Medicine Ten Years Ago. He Says His Rheumatism
 Was Cured and He Believes TayIor's Blood Medicine the Greatest Remedy on Earth.

Taylor's Blood Medicine contains Iodide of Potash and other vegetable ingredients, such as Sarsaparilla, Dam delion, Gentian, Wintergreen and Sas- safras, which act as a fine tonic to the stomach while the Iodide of Potash ab- sorbed by the blood destroys the pois- onous acids which lead to rheumatism and paralysis. It will stop those head aches, backaches, pains in the fingers, arms and shoulders, hips and knees. It will bring back your appetite, make you gain weight if you are thin and pale. Taylor's Blood Medicine is purely vege- table, pleasant to take, will tone up your stomach and make you feel fine.
 Price $1.OO a bottle and if you are not satisfied it helped you, after talk ing three bottles which should last you about thirty days, return the bot ties to your druggist and get your money back.-AdV.

CEMENT FIRM TO LET CONTRACT
 FOR PLANT TODAY
Nicholson Arrives From Kansas City To Plan
 Reconstruction

A contract will be let Wednesday for the reconstruction of the National Cement company's plant, which was de stroyed by fire at Ragland Saturday night. With the arrival at Ragland of President George Nicholson, of Kan sas City, officials inspected the ruins and the statement was made Tuesday that the company would be crushing ! lime one week hence.
 President Nicholson's car was switched from the Frisco to the South efn at Birmingham, and he finished a record run at Pell City, where an auto mobile carried him direct to Ragland. It was stated at the Birmingham of fees of the company that the 65-year old president of the company had re- auested a conference with engineers and contractors at Ragland Tuesday, and that party left on the afternoon train for the scene of the fire. From the inspections to>be made Wednesday morning, it is believed sufficient infor- nation will be obtained on which to base estimates on the contract price for rebuilding the plant.
 Information was also given at the local offices that the finishing depart ments of the plant were not as greatly damaged as other units and, as the former is the more difficult, it was be- ieved that the gap in the manufactur- ing routine could be bridged sufficient Iy to produce lime before the expira- ton of seven days. At any rate, it was stated that whatever the cost, the company would not lose one minute In getting the operations going again.
 Further details of the fire were avail able here Tuesday, but were not radi- cally different from those previously given out, although, it was stated that in clearing away the debris, it was found that certain parts which were thought to be seriously damaged, were not as bad off as was suspected. President Nicholson, of Kansas City, and his son, Ralph Nicholson, the latter being vice president of the Ragland plant, are expected in Birmingham from Rag land some time Wednesday.

PROPOSES
 BIG BOND ISSUE
.(Continued From Page One.)

\ heavy increases in property assess. ments. The new revenue board will have a hard time making ends meet during the first part of its administra- tion, in his estimation.
 Could Raise Balance
 The proposed S1, 100000 bond issue for the courthouse will not be enough to erect the new administration build ing, but Edmondson and his colleagues say the balance can be raised through the sale or lease of the old building. Tentative estimates place the cost of the new courthouse at $2,225, 5,OOO, but Edmondson believes it will actually cost not less than $2,500,0O0.
 In connection with the proposed bond issue for Hillman hospital, EdmOndson said oae of the first acts of the new board would be the preparation of a 'sbiil requiring the city of Birmingham to bear 50 per cent of the cost of it's operation. This bill will be presented to the next state legislature, he said.
 Approves City Control
 A proposal by W. B. Copeland that the city take the hospital in complete charge and operate it as an emergency institution, would suit the new board, Edmondson said.
 However" he added, i've can't get the city to do that"
 The plan of the county authorities, as outlined by Captain Edmondson at the request of this newspaper, reveals for the first time the intentions of board members in connection with fu- ture improvement and expansion pro jects. It gives virtual assurance that the voters, at the November election, will decide the fate of the new court house, as well as the projected school and hospital improvements.
