The Sunday School Convention
of the Marshall District was in
session here from the 17th to the
21st instant
Rev. J. S. Starks. B. S... D. D.
of Tyler, Texas, is the Presiding
Elder of this district He open-
ed the convention at 10 o’clock
a. m. Wednesday morning. More
than one hundred members of
the convention were present at
the opening. The introductory
sermon, at 11 a. m., was preach-
n on
” We
regret that haven’t space to
give the names of the Star Su-
perintendents as well as the
large number of ’’honorary mem-
bers who gave $1.00 each.
The preaching services were
largely attended and from them
the church and community were
spiritually revived, several join-
ing the church under conversion.
Sunday’s service was the great-
est and best Rev. J. S. Starks
D. D. preached at 11 a. m., Rev.
S. E. Erving at 3 p. m. and Rev.
ed by Rev. H. M. Jones of J. H. Douglass at night Each
Leigh, Texas. Rev. Jones is a
young minister, a student of
Phillips University, Tyler, Tex-
as. His sermon was a credit to
the speaker and the occasion.
Welcome addresses were de-
livered to the delegates and vis-
itors on behalf of the church and
citizens of Carthage by Miss
Eva Williams and the writer.
Prof. Wm. Daniels of Longview
reponded to the remarks of wel-
come in the most appropriate
terms. Following the organiza-
tion and greetings of welcome
Rev. S. L. Garrett of Atlanta
preached the annual sermon. As
this eloquent, conscientious,
Christian gentleman delivered his
message the large audience lis-
tened with marked attention,
many giving vent to their feel-
ings.
All the work of the convention
was accomplished and the clos-
ing day was a triumphal victory
of the end sought Only one
school in the district was not re-
ported and we had the assurance
from it that all money was rais-
ed for its assessment. Our aim
was to raise $350.00, but at the
close Sunday night we were able
to report raised $369.06. At roll
call Friday we realized $96.80.
From the literary concert by
Carthage talent we raised $19.50,
and from public collections Sun-
day $45.82. Nearly every super-
intendent os the district was
present with his delegates and
reported his school ' “round.”

service was well attended and
apparently enjoyed. Sunday
school and revival hymns were
interspersed throughout all the
sessions by Mrs. Clara Benton
and her choir. The excellent
choir from Longview, with Miss
Laura Hatson as organist, fur-
nished music for Sunday’s servi-
ces. They received many com-
pliments for their good music.
The most orderly conduct and
good behavior of both visitors
and home-folks during the con-
vention is a point worty of spe-
cial note. Notwithstanding there
was an unusually large number
of delegates and visitors, each of
them were loud in compliments
for the hearty welcome accorded
and the very kind treatment
they received. Especial credit
should be given the pastor in
charge here. Rev. M. M. Moxey,
for this great success in the
work and entertainment of the
convention. Indeed the colored
citizens of Carthage covered
themselves with glory in making
this session of the Marshall Dis-
trict S. S. Convention one of the
greatests in its history.

Editor Watchman:
I come as a new fellow asking
for a small place in your paper
for local news. I haven’t got
so much news for the first time.
There has been a singing school
going on for the last ten days.
Everybody seems to be very well
pleased with the school. Mr.
Crawford is the best teacher I
ever went to. Mr. Bramble’s
school was out last Friday, at
Byfield. Our brass band w^nt
up and played for the school.
Joe Heaton went down to
Timpson on business yesterday.
There is lots of cotton open in
this part of the county.
Z, L. Daniel is preparing a
place to put cotton seed.
Jessie Phillips is trying to get
a job weighing cotton at Gary.
There will be a singing school
to start at Rose Hill in the mor-
ning, to be taught by our teach-
er, Nealy Crawford, and assisted
by Charlie Whitchen.
Mrs. Dovie Screws came in
from Oklahoma on a visit to her
folks.
We had a nice little rain last
week.
J. H. Adkerson is talking of
hauling his cotton to Carthage
or Timpson, I don’t know which.
Jameston Browning, of Garv,
visited relatives in Louisiana last
week.
Mr. Norman Vaught got his
foot hurt pretty badly working of insanity.

Arrested 692 times and made
to serve eighty-two jail, work-
house and penitentiary sentences
during the last fifteen years, is
the record of Benjamin Ridden, a
stalwart Dane, 41 years old, who
holds three degrees from the
University of Copenhagen, but
who has, for twelve years, been
voluntary professional tramp.
He says that he hopes to be the
means of getting some badly
needed social reforms in the
United States.
Ridden reached St. Louis, via
coal car, from Illinois and put up
at the Planters hotel. In the last
eleven years, he says, he has ex-
pended just $1.28 for traveling
expenses, but he believes in get-
ting the best hotel accommoda-
tions available. Proceeds from
his lectures supply the means for
the expenses when he is stop-
ping over in a town. His ap-
pearance, clad in blue shirt, dark
coat, corduroy trousers and leath-
er leggins, is rather that of the
soldier doing field service than
the professional tramp.
Doctors of medicine, doctors of
divinity and doctor of laws are
the degrees which he says have
been granted him by the Uni-
versity of Copenhagen, where he
was educated by his foster fa-
ther, Frederick Hordum, a lead-
ing member of the Danish Par-
liament. Ridden was found
when 3 months old hanging in a
basket fastened to the front door
of the Hordum residence in Co-
penhagen.
Ridden drew what he calls “a
funny picture of the czar” on a
wall facing the Petroskey boule-
vard in St. Petersburg, and was
sentenced to the sulphur mines
in Siberia, but the czarina, her-
self of Danish family, had the sen-
tence suspended on the grounds
He was exiled from
Washington State penitentiary
at Walla Walla, but, after eleven
months, he was pardoned out
through the efforts of Senator
LaFollette.
Ridden denounces American
prison and work-house conditions
and says the treatment accorded
inmates is worse than that met-
ed to political exiles in Siberia.
He says his persona) crusade has
resulted in reforms at a number
of places. Before 9000 persons
at Baldwin Park, Quincy, 111., he
denounced the Quincy workhouse
as the most degrading place he
has ever visited, and the prac-
tice there of permanently shack-
ling prisoners has been abolished
through his efforts, he says.
He has traveled with Jack
Johnson, whom he describes as
the finest chap that ever lived.”
