PAPPOOSE TRIBE
Find 3 Two of Lost Brothers
(By J. H. HENDRIX)
Correspondent.
There 1* a bright future In eight
for I'AppooM Tril»e. Vacation ee*i
uon 1m mlmoat over ami the most of
the brothers have spent their va
cation and again bark In hnrness
working (or the upbuilding of their
tribe, ns evidence of the fact, the
regular weekly meeting Friday
evening shows an Increase far bet
ter than since ‘‘Hoi" began to beam
down so warm, there are plenty of
fan.. In the bull therefore th«
brothers who attend their meetings
are kept cool for tholr short stay.
The Itellef Fillers report shows
the following brothers us being un
able to follow the hunt: Brother
t Terence Horne, J’. N. Heal ami
William Hamilton The scout com
mittee reports progress. They rap
tured Jim nllas "Jlggs” Henson In
Gum Swamp with u bn no I of cat
fish marked "Johnnie Nee" and
captured brother L. R. Taylor at
Slovene Creek with a tub full of
watermelon rhlnde making pickles.
The other lost brother hud better
keep close for this committee nev
er sleeps. The writer takes great
pleasure through the Fraternal
l'uge of the Herald In correcting a
note In lust Sunday s Herald In
reference 10 brother W. F. Rhoades
Investment In some land while In
Savannah on Ida vacation. It was
at (list slated that he had purs
chased a few acres of ocean land,
hut It hns been revealed that he
bought 23 acres of ocean land
We turn 10 the dictionary for n
definition of this word we find
this: "A disposition to realise the
wants and distress of others. Lib
erality to the pool A disposition
to think well or Judge favorably of
olliers." Charity! Oh how woe
fully misunderstood Is this word
and the actions that spring from It.
Too often do we find actions of
Charity repulsed by those who
stand greatly In need of them
through a mistaken Idea of pride
or fear that if accepted those re
reivdig them will be looked down
upon by friends and neighbors
where no such thought ever enter
ed Into the mind of thoee who
wanted to heU>.
Should we not therefore endeav
or to always think and helleee that
Charity Is a virtues of the heart
and not of the hand and that gifts
ure the expression not the essence
of the vlrture. Hrothers remem
ber your fundamental principles of
your order. Freedom. Friendship
and Charity.

WEST END CAMP
Breaks all Records for New
Applications
(By J. H. Hendrix, Correspondent)
All records were broken in West
End Camp when Deputy Me and
Ijis co-workers brought In twelve
applications and Escort
announced that there were nine
others present waiting to be adopt
, d In the camp. After Consul
Thompson gave them a lesson in
woodcraft they became full pledged
members of West End Camp.
Neighbor .1. M. Doolittle won the
secret ''wedge’’ of woodcraft. Quite
a contest Is on for attendance be
tween the Neighbors from the
Southern Tire Company and the
Pottery hoys from Just across the
old Savannah In North Augusta.
There are quite a number of the
hoys at both places and It Is nip
and tuck as to who will win out.
District Deputy McDaniels an
nounced that on Monday evening,
Aug, 11th, there will be an enter
tainment at down-town camp In
the K. of P. hall on Jackson street
and all members of the Modern
Woodmen of America and Itoyal
Neighbors are cordially Invited to
attend. Neighbors, put this on your
progrnm and let's swell the hall
with our attendance nnd enjoy their
hospitality. The buddy Neighbors
of down-town camp are Jolly good
fellows and are korking hand In
hand with us. I’m sure, Neighbor
Me. will he on band.
Modern Woodmen of America Is
not the largest fraternal order In
the world, but many of us believe
that It Is one among the best of
many fraternities which have done
so much all over Amcrlcji to make
men better husbands, better fath
ers and better citizens. In a camp
of Modern Woodmen the youngest
and the poorest number mingle with
the plutocrats of business and pro
fessional life and their votes and
voices are of equal power In
shaping the destiny or procedure
of the order. In passing the de
sirability of a candidate for the
honors of woodrraft. we-do not nsk
what Ills father did or believed: but
rather, what he himself Is willing
to sltcmpt. and morality. We do
not love him berauso he Is hand
some. gifted -or clever, hut rather
because he has those qualities of
mind nnd heart which makes him
lovable. We do not blnme because
of some misfortune or twist of fate,
hut we seek to belli nnd encourage
him in times of adversity, so that
ho may retrieve his losses, regain
Ills resources and resume his posi
tion of usefulness In the com
munity. We do not forget him In
sickness or old age. hut seek to
bring him comfort and happiness
during Ills days of Impairment or
decline, and If he becomes helpless
or Infirm we provide for him or Ills
faithful wife a home like comfort
able place In whi«* to spend their
later days.

pastor of Tabernacle church, takes
charge today and will preach at
both the morning nnd evening ser
vices. tie arrived In the city
Thursday afternoon escorted by a
large delegation composed of the of
ficers. members ami friends of the
church who met him at Aiken. Dr.
Thompson Is a very able and en
tertaining speaker and those who
hear hint nt the services today are
sure of a treat.
Today Is Homecoming Day at
Tabernacle church. The officers
request that all the members at
tend nnd register their names and
addresses.
The J. R. White Company hns
provided a rest room on the third
floor of Its new store for colored
people. A drinking fountain has
also been provided for them. I
hope the colored people who use
these facilities will show their ap
preciation by not abusing them. It
should be remembered thaht this
rest room Is not a laoflnf place, but
for the convenience of the colored
people from the city as well ns
from the country who visit this
store for chopping purposes. "A
word to the wise Is sufficient."
The'sad news of the death of W.
C. Thomas nt his home at Atlanta
Monday last cast a gloom over his
many friends In this city. He had
been In poor health for several
years. From lls Inception he was
the worthy and very valuable secre
tary of endowment for the MssohJc
relief bureau of Georgia. “Charlie"
was the favorite of everybody, and
of him It could be truthfully said:
"None knew him but to love him.
none named him but to praise." He
Is survived by a wife nnd three
sons who will hnve the deep sym
pathy of hosts of friends through
out the state.
Common rumor persist that there
Is serious trouble tn the organi
sation of the old folks home head -
ed hy Amelia Sullivan It is al
leged that for many months there
has been trouble brewing among
the member* of this corporation
bordering on to disruption. The
present organisation succeeded
what was known as the Republi
can Club, a political organisation
composed of colored women. It 1*
alleged that the 'former organisa
tion. like Its successor, had hard
sledding and that each succeeding
meeting brought It nrarcr the
breakers finally resulting In Its
total disruption. In the matter of
the Old Koike Home It t« well nigh
Impossible to get all the faete. Cer
tain women who are or were mem
bers charge thaht all the trouble, as
In the case of the Republican Club
Is due to the Intolerable course of
the president whom, they say brooks j
no difference of opinion as to ad
ministration, etc.; that her willl
must be accepted as law. It Is al
leged that at a meeting held at her
home several days ago the presi
dent ordered one of the members
out of her home. This grew out
of the contention that the treasurer
of the corporation should be re
quired to glyo bond, the president
stating thaht that was nut neces
sary since there was no funds on
hand. I am told that a prominent
lawyer, on appeal of members of
the corporation has written a let
ter to Amelia Sullivan, president,
admonishing her that she must re
spect the rights of the other mem
bers of the corporation or legal
action would follow. This, it Is
hoped, will keep the matter out of
the courts and save the movement
from disruption.
Last week I was handed a notice
of a meeting of the Aid Board of
the Calvary Baptist church, Sister
Lizzie Harris, president, and Sis
ter Bartha Johnson, secretary, with
request to print. It was duly In
corporated in my matter for last
Sunday, but In some way got lost.
This Aid Board is a strong arm of
the church an(l is accomplishing
much real good for the advance
ment thereof. Apology for the
failure is hereby extended these
good women workers.

and was one of the mogt successful
gatherings of the kind yet held at
this historic old place. The inter

intensity and fervor displayed on
every hand evidenced the great
good that was accomplished in a
nbmber of ways. Home cares were
laid aside and everybody enjoyed
the season to the fullest extent-
Exceptionally good weather was
experienced for the weak which
added largely to the pleasure and
success of the meeting. Sermons
preached by the attending minis
ters at file meeting were of excep
tional force and inspiration and the
singing services were specially en
joyed by the lasge congregations.
Camp meetings have been held
at White Oak for more than fifty
years and are always occasions of
happiness and benefit to those who
regularly come here year after
year. The sile is ideally located,
shaded by large numbers of splen
did oak trees and comprises about
fifty acres In the tract of land.
There are twenty-eight ’’tents’’ pro
vided for occupancy by those who
attend the annual gatherings, and
this A'ear twenty four of-the num
ber were occupied. In addition to
the ones who spend several days at
the meeting there are large num
bers of visitors to the grounds ev
ery day, and especially on Sunday.
Meetings have been conducted at
the present site since 1872, and be
ginning with that year they have
continued annually without inter
ruption except for the year 1898.
The meeting for that year was pre
vented by a combination of un
avoidable circumstances which are
not nt this time readily recalled.
The original location of the White
Oak camp site was at a point about
two miles distant from the present
site and meetings were held at that
place since bpfore the ones who are
affiliated with the organization of
today can remember.

days and the many people who
have been here during the passing
years.
Mr. Neal is eighty years old, and
despite his venerable years is hale
and hearty and remarkably vigor
ous and alert for one who has trav
eled so far along life's road. He
enjoys the unique distinction of
being the only living "Son of the
Revolution," his father having been
a soldier in the American army
during the struggle of the colonies
to gain their independence from the
Mother Country. The elder Neal
was eighty years old at the time
of his son’s birth and died at the
ripe old age of ninety one. Mr.
Neal still lives at the old home
where he was born and occupies
the same room in which he first
saw the light of day. The old
home place is not far distant from
White Oak camp grounds.
YET HAS FATHER’S
FLINT-LOCK MUSKET.
Among many Interesting old
relics preserved by Mr. Neal is the
old flint-lock musket which his
father fought, with during the war
of the Revolution, and which he
himself shouldered during the days
of the Civil War. Mr. Neal served
in the War between the States with
the Twelfth Georgia Battalion, and
saw service at Fort Sumter under
General Beauragard; in Tennessee
under General Bragg, and in Vir
ginia under that peerless soldier
and man, Robert Edward Lee. Mr.
Neal also retains the short sword
he wore when a color bearer in the
Confederate army, and which was
made for him at the old blacksmith
shop on his home place at the out
break of the war by his “colored
boy.” Among his other cherished
possessions Mr. Neal retains the
old "grandfather’s clock,’ that was
owned by his father long years ago.
The old clock is said to be at least
150 years old. A set of new works
has recently replaced the original
wooden works in the old. clock
which were so worn by their years
of constant use that they had fail
ed to function as accurately as they
once did.
Mr. Neal kept a diary of his ex
periences during the war and espe
cially of the three months he spent
in prison at Point Lookout, Va„
which is today intensely interesting
as it recalls those trying experi
ences.

The home-building Instinct, th* yearning to own a horns
Is not only common to man but to most living things. Every
man longs to be able to say: "I have my own four walls.”
He wants a refuge, no matter how humble, to which he can
hie him home at evening's close, to sweet repast and calm
repose.
And home—to be a real home—must be a dwelling In
which he has the sole right of possession. It must be his
very own.
Man Is dirt hungry. He hungers to own land on which to
build his castle and In which to plant his garden.
Home-owning Is akin to patriotism. The home-owner Is
a permanent part of his community. He belongs. He no
longer Is a drifter. He becomes s citizen In the truest sense.

WINNIPEG, Man.—A wheat pool
merger which contemplates the mar
keting of the entire wheat crop of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
by one co-operative organization. Is
being planned. The greater part of
the wheat crop of these provinces has,
in the past, been marketed by sepa
rate provincial pools.
Whether the merger will be effect
ed in time to market this year's crop
is uncertain, but those behind the
movement declare they will begin
wholesale co-operative marketing ope
rations at least by next year.
"Canada has been a pioneer In ad
vancing the interests of its farmers
by the adoption of a co-operative
marketing system," an official state
ment declared. "The co-operative
movement in the nation Is more than
20 years old. Practically every pro
duct of Canadian farms Is now mar
keted co-oper.-tively. The system has
enabled the farmers to get the high
