NEGRO THE YOUNGEST
CHILD OF THE ALMIGHTY
Bishop Turner So Denominates the Race in Talk
at Collored College.
Six hundred strong, the ministers,
delegates and visitors of the Georgia
African Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence, filed through the gates of the
State Industrial College to the music
of "Dixie,” by the college band yester
day afternoon. They were met by the
faculty and students} who escorted
them to the hall of the boys' dormi
tory, where plates were laid for the
fish and oyster dinner which followed.
Several vocal selections were .sung
by the students, when President R. R.

A, Brockett, Rev. W. D. Johnson and
Bishop H. M. Turner.
"Four hundred and twenty million
black people,” the Bishop said, “are
to-day, walking upon the face of the
earth. The negro, in my opinion is
the youngest child of the Almighty,
and I believe that, in the future, ne
groes will make the earth tremble and
decipher the undulations of the air.
“I have traveled all over Africa,
and know whereof 1 speak. We are
the richest people on earth, if we only
had sense enough to know it. I do
not tell you to go to Africa, but you
will have to go somewhere, for you
cannot long endure the cruelties heap
ed upon our race in this country.
President Wright rn'ade an address,
acknowledging the services of Bishop
Turner toward his people, and three
cheers were given.
Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary ot the
Church Extension Board of Philadel

LEE SCUPER FULL OF KISSES.
Four Spooning Couples Monopolized
the Tallahassee.
Spooning to the right of them, spoon
ing to the left of them, sailed the four
brides-elect.
And the whole ship rose up, mani
fested its disapproval in glances that
were intended to burn, and made re
marks —that were lost on the wide At
lantic.
The demure little brides-elect em
barked on the Ocean steamship Talla
hassee at New York. The vessel ar
rived here Sunday, and several of the
passengers declared that they would
never sail on the ship again unless they
were provided with blinders or ear
muffs.
Was She a Spinsterf
“I never saw anything like it," said
a woman passenger on the pier.
"There goes one now—that little crea
ture with the blue eyes. She has been
kissed four thousand times since she
left New York. Its a shame. There
were four of them, and not one of
them had a chaperone—except one—
and she was seasick all the way down.
"The spooning began before the ves
sel left its dock at New York. Each
of the four brides-to-be wrapped her
self up in steamer blankets and blushes
—and then waited. They did not have
long to wait. The bridegrooms-to-be
took up their stations at the sides of
those blushing things—and just spoon
ed all the way down.”
Snow, hail and a gale that almost
blew the smokestack out of the Talla
hassee could not drive those love-sick
couples from their cozy corners on the
deck. Protests were made to the offi
cers, but the modest little creatures
gazed wistfully at the sea—and kept
on spooning. There was spooning for
breakfast, spooning for lunch and
spooning for supper.
No Mill lie Mcr for Them.
The first couples had splendid appe
tites for lovemaking, and while a
great many of the more straight-laced
of the cabin passengers were praying
for the sinking of the ship so that they
might escape from the miseries of sea
sickness, the young things were gaz
ing over the lee tafTrails and whisper
ing delightful nothings to the man in
the moon.
Saturday night—the night of the
concert —a handkerchief could have
covered the four brides-elect and their
Intended husbands. The cabin there
upon mounted to the very hlght of
dignity and walled aloud and long at
the deep sea tete-a-tetes.
Hut that was all there was to It and
the four little maidens were still look
ing and saying unutterable things at
ami to each other, while the Irate pas
't*ng-rs waded through luggage to
take their departure from the ship
wln-r* saccharine demonstrations bung
•found in clusters.
the following resolutions were unani
mously adopted:
Resolved, that we commend in the
strongest language of which we are
capable, the wise, conservative, God
fearing policy of Prof. Wright and fac
ulty in the conduct of the school, tak
ing charge of it at its infancy and
carrying it on to this day of its prog
ress when it can be called an experi
ment no longer, and building up among
the whites and blacks a strong senti
ment of good feeling and of peace and
mutual respect, the one for the other.
Resolved, that we hail with joy the
success of its graduates and former stu
dents in the various walks of life, and
that we believe the method of educa
tion pursued under Prof. Wright’s di
rection in the Georgia Industrial Col
lege. to be the correct one, and that it
will come nearer solving the negro
problem than any of which we have
knowledge, since by requiring the stu
dents to study half of the day, and
work at some useful trade the other
half, he is training mind and hand, and
is thus fitting some for service as
wage earners and others as managers,
and leaders of those who toil.
Resolved, that the thanks of. the con
ference be extended to Prof. Wright
and teachers for their most hospitable
treatment.
Resolved, that our thanks be extend
ed to the honorable commission and
the great state of Georgia for the
splendid opportunity which they are
giving to the young negro for the bet
terment of his condition in the world.
At the morning session of the con
ference, Col. John, H. Deveaux made
an address which was received with ap
pla IJgp
Hon.' Henry Y. Arnett, son of Bishop
B W Arnett made an appeal for funds
to assist Wilberforce University, Ohio,
to which a liberal response was rn'ade
in the form of a collection.
Rev. H. B. Parks of New York,
secretary of missions, said that dur
ing the past year, his department had
received for missions, Ufi.ooo, and that
the women of Georgia had done more
than those of any other st'ate.
Mrs. M. E. Cheeks represented the
publication department of the A. M.
E. Church, located at Philadelphia.
The conference continued up to a
late hour, in order to reach adjournment
some time to-day.
CAUTION IS ADVISED
BY WEATHER BUREAU.
Indications of Disturbance In South
Atlantic States Reported.
At 9:45 o’clock last night the follow
ing telegram from the Central
Weather Bureau office was received at
the local bureau;
"Advisory. Some slight indications
of a disturbance in the South Atlantic
states. Advise caution until morn
ing."
Just what the nature of the disturb
ance is can not yet be ascertained as
it has not yet developed. The con
ditions of some of the southern barom
eters and the wind velocities give a
slight indication of a storm but no
predieiton is ventured concerning it.
By this morning the disturbance will
probably either have disappeared or
developed sufficiently for a prediction
concerning it to be made.
The temperature yesterday was not
as low as had been expected. The
lowest point reached was 39 degrees
at 8 o'clock in the morning. By 3
o'clock mercury bad climbed to 56 de
grees. The hlghlst point reached dur
ing the day. This made 48 degrees the
average temperature for the day, a
deficiency of 5 degrees below the nor
mal.
For to-day the temperature will
average practically the same as yes
terday, though this morning will prob
ably find it slightly colder. Should the
disturbance mentioned in the telegram
develop during the night or early
morning hours the weather conditions
which existed last night may be en
tirely changed and stormy weather be
experienced here.
NEGRO WAS BEATING
A STUBBORN HORSE.
For cruelty to animals, Albert Burt,
a negro employed as a driver by Foye
& Eckstein, was arrested yesterday by
Patrolman Harmon Miller, and will ap
pear in Police Court this morning.
It is charged by the uniformed man
that the horse that was being driven
by Burt became frightened and stub
born on Liberty and West Broad
streets, and that the driver beat the
animal in a cruel and unwarranted
manner. The horse was driven on the
sidewalk, and a second charge of vio
lating a city ordinance was lodged
against Burt at police headquarters.
Two llniiilNomc Calender*
This is the season for the distribu
tion of calendars, and those who in
tend to give them away for the new
year now have their supplies on hand.
The places where the attractive calen
dars are to be had are soon learned,
and breaks made for them.
The Savannah Trust Company has
gotten out two unusually pretty and
costly specimens. They are on extra
heavy cardboard, one specimen being
the head of a woman, and the other
the head of an Indian. The small cal
endar ( card is in the lower corner, and
at the upper part is the card of the
trust company.
Secretary and Treasurer William V.
Ilavis stated yesterday that the com
pany had given wide distribution to
the calendars. Requests have been re
ceived for them from many states, and
besides being helpful to the trust com
pany in advertising it they also ad
vertise Savannah. The calendars have
been greatly appreciated by the busi
ness men of Savannah, who have re
ceived them, and they occupy promi
nent places in the offices they were
sent.
