Calvin Fairbanks, that it was early

and patriotism were aroused in be.
half of one of the most beautiful
and exquisite young girls one could
find in freedom or slavery. She
was the daughter of her MASTER
being only sixty-fourth African
She was self-educated, and accom-
pished in literature and social
manners, in spite of the institution
cursing her race; and her heartless,
jealous mistress had doomed her
to be sold on the block, hating her
for her beauty and accomplish
ments. Eliza had been confined in
an upper room of the Lexington,
Kentucky, Jail. She recognized me
as l was walking in the Jail yard,
and drew my attention by tapping
upon the window. 1 called upon
her in her jailroom, learned of her
situation, FASTENED to Cincinnati,
Ohio, to Levi Coffin, then with him
to Hon. S. P. Chase, Nicholas
Longworth, Samuel Lewis and
others, returning to Lexington
with twenty-five hundred dollars,
and a paper authorizing me to
draw twenty-five thousand if nee
essary to save the girl.
There were two thousand people
at the sale, representing the wealth
and culture of Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinna-
ii, Washington, New Orleans,
Louisville and Frankfort; also the
city of Lexington and vicinity.
There were ladies and gentlemen,
slaVe-masters and mistresses, spec
ulatOrs in human chattels - all
anxiOusly waiting. Hon. Robert
Wickliffe, brother of the late
Charles A. Wickliffe, Postmaster
General under President Tyler, the
master of five hundred slaves, was
there with his family. And a short,
thick-necked, black-eyed French
man from New Orleans, the Co
cOnspiratOr with the girls mistress,
was there. At my left stood ELIAS
aunt, a cool, intrepid, self-pOsed
woman, and at my right were two
cOunselOrs-at-law retained in my
service.
Upon the block, before the gaz-
ing multitude, stood the auctioneer
by his Victim-not man, with the
touch of manly feeling-but the
embodiment of Diabolus, trained
and anxious for his work.
E. Bids began at two hundred
and fifty dollars. / bid four

Look here, gentlemen!" said
the auctioneer, "Who is going to
lose such a chance as this? Here
is a girl fit to be the mistress of

Wickliffe hung his head in shame.

Eliza.
After four days we took the
train for Frankfort, and thence by
boat to Cincinnati. There she was
educated, there she married, has
for forty-three years filled a posi-

and few chosen friends know she
ever was a slave, or that she has

ST. THOMAS NOTES
By Katherine Mitchell

First Of all there is a correction
to be made. Little Freddie Stem
mons had a few too many Godpar-
ents in the account of his Chris
tening in the column last week. Mr..
James Slemmons and Mr.. C. A.
Lewis were the Godfathers, and
Mrs. airline Yarbough was the
Godmother. The other names were
those who made contributions for
the wedding gift for Father and
Mrs. HogaPth. Incidentally, we ex-
pect Father Hogarth back in time
for next Sundays service. We have
certainly missed him and will well
come his return. Meanwhile, we
have enjoyed having Father Leal-
tad and Father Shredder as guests
during Father Hogarth's absence.
Father Shredder preached an in
spring sermon last Sunday on
"The Love of God" He stressed
the point that though men strive
for success, if God is not a part
of their plans, they only plan their
destruction. Love of God and of
ones fellowman should be the
guiding rule of each of us. We'll

Better Times Reported in U.S.;
Defense Strikes On DOWn-Grade

The defense program has brought
the United States increased en-
ployment higher wages and new
capital investment.
With the major defense strikes.
which some weeks ago threatened
to retard defense activity, a matter
of the past, and with scarcely a
cloud upon the labor horizon,
American industry and trade has
entered a period of prosperity un-
precedented in this country.
Bank clearings in major cities
of the country last week never be-
fore reflected so great an expan-
sion of business, showing gains
over a year ago ranging from ten
per cent to 73 per cent. Since the
strikes were settled electric power
production in the United States
has risen to an all time high. Car
loading have been moving steadily
upward, and last week were 23.1
per cent above a year ago. En-
gineering construction awards have
topped $200,000,0OO a week for the
third successive week. New orders
reaching steel mills still reflect
considerable non-defense tonnage
Net operating income of Glass l
railroads in June was II per cent
ahead of last year.
Throughout the country there
were only six strikes during the
week ending July 19, which were
considered by the Office of Produc-
tion Management, Labor Division,
of serious concern to the defense
program; and one of these was set
tied during the week.
In no field of American economic
activity have conditions been more
favorable than they have for labor.
The average weekly pay roll of all
manufacturing industries through
out the country in May amounted
to $273, 900, up 1876 per cent
last February. The weekly pay
roll of all miners in May amounted
to $19,494, 900, up s per cent from
the previous year.
Total non-agricultural employ
ment in May was 3S,27S,000, 8 per
cent higher than in last July, and
in 16 key defense industries en-
