MEMORY'S GARDEN.
Memory’s fragrant flowers sublime;
Blooming with thoughts of the past all
the time,
Bringing to us our loved ones again,
Beckoning homeward, when courage
would wane; ;
Sending out incense to God and to man
Bringing us back in our lives quite a
span;
Giving us hope that will see them
again; l
Beckoning homeward when cournge|
wnuld wane;
Giving us fervor to do and dare;
Making life’s burden to us less of care,
Bloom on for aye, we'll see them
again;
We “press to the work” and courage
maintain. —A. M. S.

1,100 NEGROES GO
I..OCAL LABOR PROBLEM Aé-
SUMES SERIOUS PROPORTIONS
—TRYING TO CHECK EXODUS.
Savannah, July 31.—Large employ
ers of labor in Savannah are viewing
with alarm the heavy inroads which
agents of the Pennsylvania Railroad
are making on the local labor supply.
City officials, under the direction
of Mayor Pierpont, are making fran
tic efforts to check the exodus of ne
groes to the North. A special meet
iing of City Council may be held to
day to pass an ordinance which will
empower the police to deal effectually
with the situation. In the meantime
the agents have been twice arrested
on charges of violating a state law.
Mayor Pierpont pointed out that
many of the negroes are being de
ceived by tempting offers of more
money and better working conditions.
Most of the cases, he shows, the ne
groes do not take into consideration
the fact that it costs more to live in
the North and that the railroad prob
ably will turn them adrift after they
‘have served its temporary purpose. He
also emphasized the fict that the ne
gro is not constituted so that he can
endure the Northern climate.

ored position as doyen of the diplo
matic corps of recognized leadership.

acted as spokesman for the ministers
of the allied powers which means a
change of the relations of Great Brit
ain and Japan towagds China.
