EXTERMINATING A RACE
TURKEY'S FOUL TASK
Blackest Page in Modern HUtory-800,000 Armenians Al.e.dy Destroyed
-The Able-Bodied Slain-The HelpU.s Driven Out to Die-Centennial
Anniversary of American Bible Society-A Wo.k That Blankets the
World Mexico Desolate.
By Southern Missionary News Bureau
Seven hundred years of oppression
of the Armenians by the Turks has
culminated in a determined effort to
annihilate the Armenians utterly. For
months the campaign has been waged
with the most inhuman ferocity, and
eight hundred thousand of these help
less, inoffensive people are said to
have perished. And the end is not.
The able-bodied men have been
first drafted into the army, thougn
not permitted to bear arms, where
they are said to have been brutally
killed by thousands. The older men,
the women and children are then
forced out of their homes and driv
en away in vast throngs, to die in
the desert of starvation and exposure
or to be subjected to the most terri
ble tortures and indignities. An
observer of these horrors is thus
quoted in the American Board Bul
letin :
"The worst and most unimagina
ble horrors were reserved for us at
the banks of the Euphrates and in the
Erzingian Plairu The mutilated bod
ies of women, girls and little children
made everybody shudder. The bands
men were doing all sorts1 of awful
deeds to the women and girls that
were with us, whose cries went up to
heaven. At the Euphrates the bands
men and gendarmes threw into the;
river ail the remaining children un
der fifteen years of age. Those that
could swim were shot down as they
struggled in the water. The fields
and hillsides were dotted with swollen
and blackened corpses that filled and
fouled the air with their stench."
Why the rulers of Turkey should
have set their hands to this foul task,
no one can say with certaintv. Fear
of Armenian uprisings probably com
bined at first with Moslem bigotry
and blood lust. The Armenians were
the first nation to accept Christianity
as their national faith and have re
nrained true through hundreds of
years of oppression and persecution.
The missionaries of the American
Board are remaining at their posts,
when permitted to do so, and are giv
ing all the relief possible to the un
fortunate victims.
Centennial Anniversary of American
Bible Society.
Sunday, May 7, will mark the com
pletion by the American Bible Society
of one hundred years 01 noiaDie nis
tory. During that time it has pub
lished and been largely instrumental
in circulating 115,000,000 Scriptures
in more than one hundred and fifty
languages!. It has made or assisted
in eighty translations, being first to
give the printed gwspel to millions
of people of many different tribes and
races.
All Over the World.
The society has agents at work on
five continents and in hundreds of
islands in all, fourteen hundred
workers abroad and six hundred in
the United States. There are few
corners of the globe to which its
agents and publications have not pen
etrated. It has collected and expend
ed in this distinctive work of circu
lating the Bible, without note or
comment, $38,000,000.
Universal Bible Sunday.
In celebration of the society's hun
dredth anniversary, May 7 will be
observed throughout the Christian
world as Universal Bible Sunday.
Programs and literature for the ob
servance of the day will be furnished
without charge by the New York of
fice. Mexico A Desolated Land.
A missionary who has just return
ed to Mexico writes from Saltillo:
"Mexico looks to me like a large
plant that has not had water for some
time. All the railroad stations from
Nuevo Laredo to Monterey, inclusive.
hve been burned. We music nave
seen the skeletons of hundreds oi
freight cars which have been burned,
and also large railroad water tanks
that have been dynamited, a large
brewery was still standing near the
station, and this brewery saved Mon terey
from being in ruins, for I am
told the soldiers were too drunk to
carry on the destruction of the city
after having been at the brewery for
a time.
"The situation has changed for tht
better since the Carranzistas have
been here. Foodstuff is coming in
from all sides although the prices are
high. Church services well attended.
They have not missed holding at least
one service a week since we have been
away from them."
The Gospel Getting Hold.
There are unmistakable evidences
that the Gospel is getting hold upon
the people. We can get a large audi
ence every night and at almost any

Potatoes
Price. " ;
Early summer sweet potatoes do
not yield as much as the iall crop,
but the increased price will usually
make UP for any deficiency ra bush
els A P. Spencer, district agent
for the University of Floi'i la Exten
sion Division, gives two w-is .in
which plants for the early crop may
be obtained. In the first place the
potatoes are planted in a seed be
d iritis February or early March
It will be necessary t ) hurry the
potatoes so that slips may to hud for
planting early in April.. To do this
put a layer of stable rnanurj four
inches deep over the bed, coyer this
with two inches of earth. Lay the
potatoes on this closely ? possible
without allowing them to touch each
other. Cover the potatoes with a
thin layer of pine straw, r -en bare
lv cover the whole with earth. ! ro
tect the bed from cold winds and pro

God's Kingdom First.
The following extract is from a re
cent letter to one of the mission
boards:
"I have not yet finished paying for
my home or enough land to call it a
farm home. I have, on account of de
clining health, quit the practice of
medicine, and so I have a private
problem. But the whole thing is in
the hands ot Uod, and it is oecter
that my personal problems go un
solved than that His kingdom be
halted in the least by my unfaithful
nesa I am sending a check for ten
dollars and asking" God to give light
and help.
Constipation.
When costive or troubled with con
stipation take Chamberlain's Tablets.
They are easy to take and most agree
able in effect. Obtainable everywhere.
Swift's Sarcasm.
"My brethren." said Dean Swift In
a sermon, "there are three, sorts of
pride of riches, of birth and of tal
ents. I shall not now speak of the
latter, none of you being liable to that
abominable vice."

5. The Bryan primary law should
be so amended as to give the news
papers fair returns for political ad
vertising. Every candidate for State
or Federal office should be allowed
to spend for advertising in newspa
pers as much as $100.00 in each daily
and $25.00 in each'weeklv.
6. The tee lor puoiiKning tne ws
passed by each legislature should hp
increased from $100.00 to $250.00.
You know that $100.00 does not cov
er the actual expense of this wotk;
and, as the publication is made only
once in two years, $250.00 for one pa
per in eacn county woum hui. uc u
heavy expense upon the state.
7. An itemized list of all bills, ac
counts and claims ordered paid by
the county commissioners of each
county should be published in one or
more newspapers of each countv.
This nublicitv would greatly aid in
eliminating any graft that might be
going on and would prove a protec
tion to the taxpayer. For this ser
vice, the usual legal rate snouid oe al
lowed.
Both the newspapers and the puo
lic need legislation embodying the
above suggestions, and it is sincere
ly hoped that you will personally ex
prt vourself to accomplish the results
desired. Do not content yourself
with merely adopting formal resolu
tions, but "get busy" with your can
didates for the legislature.
With best wishes.

Reappearance of Quail Disease,
Owing to the prevalence of quail
disease among quail imported from
Mexico at the ports of New York. N,
Y., and hagle fass, lex., during
the past month, the department of
agriculture has suspended issue-
further permits for entry of 'hese
birds this season. Quail in -hip-ments
actually en route to the United
States on January 20 were admitted
I to quarantine, but no runner .? tries
will be authorized. Most ot' the
I States now have such strmge.a srame
jlaws that it is practicallv impossible
! to purchase quail even for propr.ga
iting purposes in the United St. iter,
and dealers have sought quail else
where, especially m northwe-tern
Mexico where quail occur in : 'md-
ance, but Mexican quail on aniv
destination are frequently foil in
fected with quail disease. :-!o
is this disease that when it on.-t
pears most of the birds which ar
posed to it die within a few :h--.
In one shipment of 196 quail which
recently reaeneci fsew lork or.lv
three birds survived the voyage, and
in another of about lfiO birds more
than two-thirds of the number died
shortly after arrival. More 'ban
one-third of all the Mexican ouail
j impoi-teu last year died within a rev
months, lo guard against spread of
quail disease, live quail purchased for
ipropacation should be kept under ob
servation for two or three weeks ;nd
should not be liberated if infected
jwith disease. The department de
; sires to ascertain the result of ex
periments which have been made in
(importing quail this year and will be
i glad to receive information as to the
condition ot the birds and as to how
many have died in any loclity where
tne ouaii nave been introduced.
Before next season the department
win hold a public heanne in Wash
ington. D. C, for the purpose of do
TOiiiimuit niieiner or not Jurther
permits lor importation of ouail frorr
Mexico will be issued, at which vari
ous questions connected with the im
portation of ouail will be careful!
considered. Ample notice of this
uBitrinir win De given later in order
