BIRTH IS RESULT OF PHILIP
PINE ROMANCE. INHERITS
OKLAHOMA OIL WELLS.
From a waif of the Philippines to
the possessor of millions in the brief
span of 13 years is the unusual story
of Dorothy Carmichael, 16-year-old
heiress of Tonkawa, Okla.
The details became known the oth
er day when they were given to a cor
respondent of the St. Louis Post-Dis
patch by Dorothy and her aunt, Mrs.
Sarah Pettit, who shares in the riches
flowing daily from the Carmichael oil
wells.
The narrative goes back to the out
break of the Spanish-American war.
Bugal Carmichael, Dorothy’s father,
was in Montana at the time. He en
listed and was sent immediately to the
Philippine islands and engaged in the
major campaign there. His term ot
enlistment ended, and he elected to
stay in the islands. It was about this
time that he met Justa, a girl of Eng
ish and . Spanish parentage, who
knew only the istands and in type
and temperament was a true daugh
ter of them.
Carmichael and Justa were married.
For a while they were happy. A girl
was born and they named her Euse
bia. This was Dorothy, who has been
rechristened as part of the process of
perfecting her American education.
There is also the story that a son was
born, but government investigations
have failed to verify this. Anyway
there came a break in the domestic
happinets of Bugal and Justa and the
wite ran away. Carmichael and Euse
bia went to live with an old army
comrade, Michael Keoghan, and it
was while staying there that Bugal
died.
Before death he committed Eusebia
to Keoghan's care.
The government, as a matter of
coursé, notified Bugal's father, John
Carmichael, and his sister of the death.
The child was mentioned in the re
port. Mrs. Pettit demanded proof of
the child’s identity. She had heard
nothing of Bugal’s marriage. The gov
ernment brought the proot and it was
decided that Eusebia should be N-’H‘-‘
ed in the Presbyterian mission in
Manilla. There she stayed until I‘)H,l
when she was brought to Tonkawa
by Keoghan and given over to her
aunt and grandfather.
John Carmichael died. Dorothy, as
she is now known, inherited part of
his holdings. Then oil was discovered,
the fantastic whirligig of fate began
flipping wealth into her lap from the
Carmichael oil wells and the value of
the quarter section of which che is
hali owner leaped to $36,000,000.
Despite this mimense wealth Doro
thy and her aunt live a simple life in
a neat little bungalow in Tonkawa.
Unspoiled by fortune Dorothy’s edu
cation progresses and she is being pre
pared for the part she is to play
among the more favored of earth’s
children. She helps her aunt with the
household duties and is quiet and de
mure.
The Carmichael property, in the
center of the field, is the most pro
ductive in the region. The output aver
ages more than 12,000 barrels of oil
a day and that means that the little
Eusebia, whoseé prospects a dozen
vears ago weren’t worth a peso, now
has a daily income of $1,500, which
is steadilv growing.

Digest of The Southern Baptist
Convention at Kansas City, Mo.
By S. F. Lowe.
Over two thousand were present at
the opening service Wednesday morn
ing, the 16th. Dr. E. Y. Mullins, of
Kentucky, was re-elected president.
(It is likely he will be elected presi
dent oi the Baptist World’s Alliance
in Stockholm in July.) Congressman
W. D. Upshaw, of Georgia, and Dr.
l.en G. Broughton, now oi Virginia,
and two others were elected vice
presidents.
The great danger point in the pres
ent convention was the question of
evolution being taught in our schools
—especially the Baptist schools. The
brethren were red hot on both sides.
President Mullins, in a masteriul ad
dress, gave what was adopted as the
voice of the convention on the ques
tion. His argument was:
1. Let science stay in its own field
and keep its mouth shut about re
ligion, which it has no right to speak
on.
2. et science stop’ teaching the
hypothesis of evolution as a fact un
til the leading scientists of the world
prove it to be a fact.
3. Let Southern Baptists hold to
the same old standard on the divine
inspiration of the Bible and all that
this means. ’
4. Let no Baptist school employ or
retain a teacher who does not hold
the sound Baptist view of the script
ures and similar questions. ‘
The Baptist 75 million campaign re
port is as follows: $43,933,815.26 has
been paid on pledges to date, leaving
2 total of $31,066,184.74 to be paid
by December, 1924. Because of being
<o far behind on this the work in ev
ery quarter is handicapped. During
the past vears of the campaign the fol-l
ELEVEN LEAVE FOR THEIR
HOMES FOR APPLYING
“RUNNING GAUNTLET.”
Eleven Emory University students
have left for their respective homes,
following their expulsion on charges
of hazing freshmen—a practice pro
hibited under rules laid down by the
college authorities.
Officials of the university declined
to divulge the names of any of the ex
pelled students, declaring they believ
ed it unfair to publish their names.
The eleven men expelled from the
school, it was stated, will not be al
lowed to take spring quarterly exam
inations, their dismissal becoming ei
fective immediately. At the end of
the fall term next year those who wish
to return will be allowed to apply for
readmittance. It then. will rest with
college authorities whether they will
be allowed to resume their studies as
bona fide students.
Hazers Wore Masks.
A new phase of the hazing proceed
ings came to light when Emory au
thorities admitted that stude.nts'\\'ho
took part in the “freshman dismissal”
wore masks for a time during the
hazing. The masks were contrived, it
was said, by tieing handkerchiefs over
their faces. : |
Details of ‘“freshmen details” have
come to light. Sophomore classes oi
previous years have had committees
whose duty it was to call at the rooms
of ireshmen and order them to dress
and ‘“‘follow.”
The unlucky first-year men so sum
moned were conducted to the athletic
field, where the oath of secrecy was
imposed by one of the sophomores.
After this was done the freshmen
were conducted to the “gantlet line”
and, occupying a crouching position.
were informed to run at the count ot
three.
The speediest men r_cccivcd fewest
ficks, the knowledge of which is said
to have acted as an incentive for ex
tended efforts at swiitness.
Made Record Time.
The lines of sophomores, each con
taining about seventy-five men, com
posed the gantlet, and despite the fact
that the line extended about 100 yards
it has been declared by certain stu
dents familiar with track records that
ten seconds was considered poor time
in numeraus cases.
It is understood that the recent pro
cedure was along the same lines fol
lowed in previous years, and that sev
eral ireshmen who learned in advance
of the proposed “dismissal” ceremo
nies planned for that night. spent
the dark hours in the nearby woods to
aveid “‘running the gantlet.”
SAYS IT'S BAD ENOUGH TO
GET ALONG WITH ONE WIFE
Dr. Fuad Bey Says There Are No
More Sheiks and Harems in Turkey.
Turkey is now harmless. ‘
Embrvo bigamists of a younger
generation who have cherished a de
sire to acquire a real Sultan’s harem
which popular American conception
has pictidred are doomed to bitter
disappointment. For there are no such
things any more.
Necither are there any sheiks, be
cause it is all Turkish men can do to
get along with one wiie.
| So says Dr. Fuad. Bey, member of
the Turkish Nationalist assembly and
i:’ormx;r minister of health and public
works of Turkey, who arrived in Chi
cago last week.
Dr. Fuad denied news dispatches
that Sultan Mohammed VI abandon

when he abdicated some months ago.
iln fact, he asserted, he had none to

have given nearly 83,000,000 more an
nually to missions and benevolences
since the campaign began than bhefore.
One of the biggest matters of the
convention was the tendering of the
Southwestern Seminary, with all its
assets, to the Southern Baptist Con
vention. This was done by the Gen
eral Baptist Convention of Texas. All
told there were nearly 800 enrolled in
this institution last year. Proper steps
were taken for its reception at an ear
ly date.
The inter-board commission on stu
dent activity reports that in South
ern Baptist Convention there are 92,-
000 Baptist young people in school,
oi which number 40,000 are in Bap
tist institutions and 52,000 in tax-sup
ported institutions.
The past year the evangelistic de
partment of the Southern Baptist
Convention has received for baptism
21,000, and 35,000 have been added to
the fellowship of the churches. They
have gained five mountain schools
and 1,200 more pupils, 217 churches
organized under its supervision and
help, 1,163 more church houses built
or improved and 2,100 Sunday schools
organized.
47.000 people were treated in hos
pitals of the Southern Baptist Con

2700 orphan children were turned
away from Baptist orphanages last

The Sunday school board reported
20,935 Sunday schools with an enroll

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE AT
WAYCROSS HEAR AN AD
DRESS BY DR. M'DONELL.
Dr. G. N. MacDonell, son of a for
mer pastor of the Dawson Methodist
church and now a prominent physi
cian and member of the Waycross
board of education, was invited by the
colored people of Waycross to speak
before the Negro Business ILeague.
He took as his subject “The Relation
of the Negro Business League (1) to
Emigration, -(2) to Agriculture, (3)
to Schools, (4)*to the Church.”
Speaking of the present exodus of
negroes from the south Dr. MacDon
ell pointed out that the substantial
negro should consider carefully the
unrest of his people at this particular
time in an honest effort to serve the
best ends of the colored people here
in the south, and cautioned against
the ruthless desertion of all that the
negroes had accumulated in wealth
and all that they had gained in the
good will and helpful co-operation
of the best white people of the south
for a spasmodic and indefinite in
crease oi wages and working condi
‘tions in other sections of the country.
. “The south,” he said, “was never
‘more concerned in the real welfare of
' the colored people than it is today.
'The better class of both races is see
ing together and working together,
and in the spirit of co-operation is
}ovcrcnming slowly but surely the dii
ificultics that beset us. All the trouble
'between the races in the south comes
"from the bad element of both races,
the irresponsible, shiftless class.”

‘Quart of Water

Cleans Kidneys
|
Take a Little Saits if Your Backf
Hurts, or Bladder is
Troubling You
R VTR {
No man or woman can make a mis
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority. Eat
ing too much rich food creates acids,
which excite the kidneys. They become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood. Then we get
sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
lessness and urinary disorders - often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irrezular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, begin
drinking a quart of water each day,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon
fu! in a glass of water before breakfast,
and in a few days your kidneys may act
fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for vears to flush and stimulate the
kidnevs; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water drink
which evervone should take now and
then to help keep the kidneys clean
and active and the blood pure, thereby
often avoiding serious kidney complica
tions. By all means have your physi
cian examine your. kidneys at least
twice a year.
