' In an nddress before a mass meet ing of negroes in Atlanta recently, Bishop Henry II. Tumor of the African Methodist Episcopal church, declared tho Reparation of . t the races was the only solution of the race problem. In lils remarks Bishop Turner urged that oppor tunities .should be offered to uegroes to settle in Africa, by a reduction ?. of rates on steamship lines, siatiflg "this nation of aggregated people X will elthor have to open a highway to Africa for tho discontented black Sglttin or t^ie negro question will flln ^ 7: der this government." Bishop " Turner contended thatr .??.by separation he did not mcau that everyone should go or must go, but that We're should be an oppor tunity granted for the departure of "snob black men and women as are sell-reliant and have those man hood aspirations that God planted in them and UegradingJaws will In tensify." .**? r Information Abopt Plumbing. Perfect- pin in bing lo cities is a necessity ; it is something the pub lie should know all about, but iu Tesllty know very little. When perfect it-Is a luxury; it brings) Ipca. health and happiness wherever] placed. Hut if it is imperfect it In, 'SiL. jnst the reverse, it brings on sick ness, often death. One of the first | I:.,., questions a doctor will when called upon to attend one or more "ol your family, is "How nbout your ftltitnbing? is it In good order?" X ? For well the learned gentleman knows whero your troublos are numt : i_lt*!>l<LtO come from, because be '"7^ known that ..in your sewers and - waste pipep, which are moist ond moderately warm, is the favorable! place to pfopagate bacteria which,' ? when planted in the system oausc '' pneumonia, dlptlierla, fever, etc. k 1 -.Xbn answer hjm, "Oh yrs, I aui L , apra it I*? m Mr. So and So, a first class plumb er, did the work, and he also gave me a cerUficnto from the board of health to show that their Plumbing inspector had inBpeoted the work und it was alright.

It is a well know fact that 75 per cent, of the buildings where we live, eat and aleep. and work and apeud most of our liven, aewer air is flowing into some part of the building, endan gering our lives. To keep your plumbing peifeot and be euro that there la no ecwer air entering your home# and bulling*, good care abould be taken of all flxturea; also of all the plpea, vent pipee, aoil pipes, and waate' papea. They should be ao perfect that they ean bo got at bandy, ao they can be kept clean and iu good working or der at all tlraea. ' The whole plumbing ay at em should be inspected, and tested at leaatoDoo a year, by a good and competent plumbing engineer, and abonld be given what la knowa aa a amoke test, which ia done by putnpf&g smoke, with a machine made for that purpose into the whole rjyatem to a preaaure. if there is a defect the smoke will soon show itself, thereby showing where the sewer air is (lowing into your buildings. Have the defects repaired and Jthe cause remedied. Clean out all aoil pipes, wasto plpo nnd vent pipe, ant) drains of all 0ith and dirt.. Then disinfect the whole sys tem thoroughly, After the above) has been done, test again ^itb the Brooke teat so as to" puro that all of the system Is air tight, and ?bat there will ba no more llow of Hower air into your building. There arc other teste given by plumbers known as peppermi n t tpats, etc. but they aro not relia ble. v c f Wo havo made known sonio foot* in the foregoing that at least 90 percent, of our Camden people are ignorent of, ??d- tbey are facta that they should know nil about.

Mr. Ntwmmi Las'w, District Man ager for four Southern Statet", paid our L"dgo a visit last week, and made a moat interesting and in structive speech. Thirty new mem bers were enrolled, and the Lodge rocoived an impetus of progress from this visit, which will redound to the lasting good of all of our members. Bee Sting!) for Rheumatism. I)r.
