“From Hand to [Tloiitlt”—IIKorr Coat
miiuan Thnu Producer.,
Those nre “tight times” with nearly
everybody In this part of the oountry.
But no class of our population is so
destitute anil hard run ns tile {Negroes'.
They are so very impoverished. There
are. of course, exceptions, and there
are many Negroes in this city andseo-
tfon wlio arc in .easy circumstances!
but the great mnjority of them are de
pendent upon the immediate results of
their daily labor, nnd have nothing
laid up for a “rainy day” or' the
emergencies or mishaps to which they
are daily liable.
The industrious, thrifty Negro lias
many derided advantages over the
poor White innn in this country,^nitd
those wlio avail themselves of these
advantages and are frugal in their
habits are growing more nnd more In
dependent. Society requires nothing
of them, and they have no public or
community demands made upon them.
They are exempt, aside from the nom
inal cost of keeping up their religious
institutions, from many of the de
mands that nre constantly to be met
by tile White people. This distinction
is duo to the custom that wns estab
lished in the days of slavery, nmklt is
ns definite nnd as generally observed
as if it were llxed by law.
But tills Is a digression.
IVhat we started out to say was that
the Negroes, generally speaking, find
it hard to take care of themselves and
their families during the prevailing
money stringency. Everything lias
settled down to a “hard times” basis,
and the dull summer season has set I11
early. There is considerable building
going on ill the city, nnd our manu
facturing enterprises nre nil in openc
lion, giving employment to tho usual
number of mechanics and skilled la
borers; but the common laborers
about town do not find constant em
ployment. _
And they are beginning to feel
pinched in consequence.
A prominent real estnte agent in
forms the Herald that he lias never
known the Negro tenants to be so
generally behind with their rents ns
they nre now. And when they once
get behind they enn’t catch up again
They ni;e living “from hand to mouth, 1
ns the saying goes, and the loss of a
week’s work or a spell of sickness in
the family throws them behind.
Tho trouble with our Negro popula
tion is that the ratio of consumers is
too great for tho producers.

Worth’s Sunday-schools were out
In force yesterday at the tenth mutual
celebration of the Worth County .tip 11-
day-SMiool Association, held at their
tabernacle in Ppulan. About 1,400
people were in attendance, nnd the
day, though dusty, was a thoroughly
■enjoyable one.
The assemblage was called to order
I>y Kev. J. J. Williams, President, at
10 a. in., and the address of welcome
■was delivered by Bev. N. B. Ouslcy,
of Poulan, with a stirring respinsc by
■G. Tom West, of Albany.
Sir. R. 11. Rpppard, of Savannah,
then gave one of ins electro-magnetic
Addresses tlmt always command atten
tion and applause, nnd was followed
by Sir. J. S. Davis, of Albany, who is
always enthusiastically welcomed by
Worth county audiences, whose good
will lie lias well earned.
John W. Wheatley, President of tile
Georgia State Sunday-School Associa
tion, then delivered a learned and en
tertaining address.
P. Pelhami the organizer nnd first
President of (lie Worth County Sun
day-School Association, made a short
■speeolu He said that when the asso
ciation was first organized It consisted
•of three schools, and wns held in a
house twenty feet square.
Rev. J. J. Williams reported thirty-
four schools belonging to the associn-
| tion in this county.
A recess of one hour wns then taken
for dinner. Right here your corre
spondent must cull upon you to exer
cise your imagination, for he wns too
busy during that hour doing Justice to
the many good tilings to take any
notes. Everything good to eat wus
there, and some things that were not
good, and there was enough to have
Ted 2,000 people or more.
After dinner the schools were called
upon for their reports. Twenty-six
reported, showing a number of pupils
of 1,862, nnd officers and teachers of
129, which, with schools not reported,
innkes the county association about
2,000 strong. Most of the schools re
ported in fine-condition, and several
■new ones were added to the associa
tion.
The audience then listened to an
■eloquent nnd instructive address from
Mr. Lot Wnrren, Secretary of tlie
•“State association.
The’ addresses throughout wore
good, and of much benellt to tlic at
tending Sunday-school workers, who
will feel their effect for years to come,
Mrs. Olmsted, of Poulan, T. L.
Kitchens, P. Pelham, J. J. Williams, J.
W. Evans and J.H. Allen were selected
ns delegates to the State association at
Marietta.
The time for holding the next quar
terly convention of the county asso
ciation was fixed for August 12th and
Sycamore selected ns the pince.
The singing (foiltest for the associa
tion’s banner was then called, nod G.
Tqm West, J. D. McKenzie nnd Lot
Warren were chosen as judges. Six
schools entered the contest. The Ty-
Ty infant class made n second-best
reoord with No. 242 in Gospel Hymns,
“The Babe of Bethlehem.” This class
was composed of eight little girls, all
under 12 years. Poulan enme next
-with 398 in Prayer nnd Praise. Parker-
vilie came third with No. 81 in Work
and Worship.
But the Sycamore school won the
banner on the mostexquisite rendition
the writer lias ever listened to of, “I
am the"Resurrection,” page 94 in Gos
pel Choir.
The l’y-Ty adult class then sang No.
2 in Gospel Voices, and tile Sumner
Baptist school sang No. 17 in Pure
Songs.
The singing throughout was tile
best the writer ever heard, nnd the
judges’ task was a hard one.
The banner was presented to the
Sycamore school witli an appropriate
address by Mr. Lot Warren. The ban
ner for general merit was awarded by
the committee to the Isabella Union
school, and was presented by B. B.
Reppard with one of his usual chain
lightning addresses.
The Brunswick and Western ran
two specials, which were crowded to
their utmost capacity. There were a
number of visitors from adjoining

What shal j We chat nbou?
Why, anything yon please. Books,
music, fashions, the boys, dancing—
what, none of those? Not., even boys
or tlie fashions? They say that girls
have no object in,living when they
lose interest in dress aijd the boys.
It Is not so? Well, I never believed
it myself. •
Let us, talk about yourselves, then.
Cnn anything he of more absorbing
interest to a person than a] discussion
of himself?
I am glad to talk about ourselves, for
that reminds me of a remark that Kate
Kaufman made in “Womankind.” It
whs a remark that set me thinking.
Listefii “When we women get tile
blues, when we have no pleasant plans
to muse over, when our clothes nre
old, nnd no one is makinglove to us, if
asked wlmt wouldImprove our state of
mind, in nine cases nutof ten, we un
hesitatingly cry—money!”
Yes, unfortunately, we are prone to
think and believe that money is tlie
essentials to happiness. r p 0 be sure,
the tilings that money can buy mill
greatly to one’s pleasure, but happi
ness does not depend on them. O11
what does It depend? O11 two tilings
—just two. And they nre such that if
you enrly enough realize the important
part they play in your life’s pleasure,
it is within your power to make them
subservient to your desires.
They are simply your work nnd your
disposition.
A happy, contented disposition can
be cultivated—a disposition that rules
buoyantly and triumphantly over
life’s vicissitudes.
But 111 work, hearty, healthy work,
lies tlie source of life’s greatest pleas
ures. A married woman is seldom
discontented or blue. She has too
many calls on her tune and efforts, too
many things that must be done nnd
done in a hurry.
Though llot realizing it, she exem
plifies the saying tlint work is a pana
cea for all ills.
But what can girls do?
Hundreds of tilings.
First qf all, there is the little mother
nt home who has many responsibili
ties that your girlish ardor and loving
thoughtfulness can lighten for her.
She needs just your brisk ways and
originality to keep lier from tlie rut
thnt mothers arc prone to fail into
when hquseliold responsibilities nre
heavy upon them. I know it is trite
to say “work for tlie poor.” You may
sooff at it all you please, but it is true,
nevertheless, that nothing will so soon
make you 'realize tlie pettiness of
your own small trinls ns intimate ,ic-
quaintance with the suffering tlint ex
treme poverty brings.
All, dear girls, do not fill your minds
witli plnns for your own pleasures, |
great and small. Be a little selt'-bic-‘
ritlcing. You will find that no pleas- 1
ures of picnic, hall, dress or party will
so take you out of yourself or leave
you witii a feeling of such sincere sat
isfaction nnd happiness as to feel that
some other life is bettered by an effort
dh your part. So work, work for those
around you ns well as for yourself.
Work and keep a brave,'cheerful spirit
—you/will find more happiness than
the possession of millions could bring
you.

Oiilrnuo From the IVorlli,
A Springfield, O., special, under date
of Stay 5, to the* Atlanta Cmistithtion
of to-day snys: ,
The Negroes wlio left their homes In
Georgia mid Tennessee to work on
railroad construction in New York
recently,tell terrible stories of their
treatment. One wlio mid his name
whs Wash Evnns told tlie following at
tlie police station to-night:
“l was one of 280 colored men *wlio
left Nashville. Ten 11., last January to
work on a railroad in New York. I
worked until April 22d, but never got
cent of pay. Many of our people
had their feet frozen off ami if they,
were not able to do a- day’s work,
the, bosses would bent them with
clubs ami some of them they
killed. Whenever they killed a nig
ger they buried him on tlie dumps and
no one dared to. ask any questions.
My toes got frozen but never so bad
hut what i onuld do n day’s work.
Consequently, 1 never gut whipped.
They furnished us fund, but it was
hardly lit to eat nnd that is nil we ever
got. They keptrUS In camps of abonl
fifteen each with a guard over us just
as they do in Tennessee. If n man
wanted Id leave, lie Imd to sneak away
at night and get uul of the country be
fore lie emild lie found. If they found
a nmn who tried to escape they would
beat him nearly to death. No one
wlio lins not witnessed tlie scenes of
horror can form any idea of it. The
stories of Siberian outrages nre rele
gated to tlie background when
compared with the outrages com
mitted there; They would not
allow us to visit each other’s
camps for fear we might get a crowd
together and rebel. Sevm’nl of our
people took their wives wini them and
they were uulnblo to get away. I left
at night and. am now on my way to
Nashville. I have seen enough of the
North and have no desire to ever come
back. The convicts in the mines of
Tennessee fare fur better, than we did
in New York.”
Only a few days ago two colored
men who had been working 011 tills
same railroad stopped here on their
way to their Southern homes. Their
feet were frozen and they were hardly
able to walk. Their story corroborates
that told by Evans nnd there is no
doubt about tlie truth uf the stories.

An authority tells Iiow to make the
oatmeal bags which, used in tlie bath,
give a,velvety softness and whiteness
to the skin. Take live pounds of oat
meal, ground fine, a half pound of pure
Castile soap reduced to powder, and a
pound of powdered Italian orris root.
Cut a yard of thin cheese cloth into
bags about four inches square, sewing
them on the machine and taking care
not to leave any untied threads where
a break may let the contents ooze out.
Mix the soap, oatmeal and orris root
thoroughly and fill the bags loosely.
Sew up the opening ill each and lay
them away to use as required. They
nre used as a sponge, dippett in warm
water, making a thick, velvety lather
and wonderfully softening the skin,
while tlie orris imparts a lasting fra
