in vain for an Opening.
This went on for quite a Spell. He
had been jolted at Poker, trimmed at
Golf, put against long Sermons right
in Fly-Time and conned into reading
AZ Books that did not appeal to him.
He seemed to be making grand Head

Once there was a yearning Bachelor
who wanted the Girl so hard that he
would come around at Night and look
up at the Windows of her Boodwar
and gnaw the Palings of the Front
Fense.
The Fires of Love had got beyond
Control and it was time to call out
the entire Department. He was for
Petty and had no Shame in the Mat
ter. He would send A D. T. Boy
at 6, saying that ne would be up at

He would have deemed it a Holy
Privilege to go around and NOW the
Grass in her Front Yard
II was the kind of TRANSPORTING, old
fashioned, romantic-novel Love that
made him think well of her Kin-Folks.
He knew that any one who was re-
lated to the Queen of the Human Race
was certainly Right. So he tried to
stand Ace with the Old People and a
brother named Walter and tall
browed Sister who was Intellectual.
Consequently his Work was mapped
out for him.
Mopsy's Father was what we might
call Liberal in his Views. That is, he
was not utterly set against the High
Ball as a Substitute for o'clock Tea.
Furthermore he had stubbed his Toe
often enough to know from sad Ex-
perience the true Value of two small
Pairs when five are sitting in.
Had ii not been that he took on his
daily Package in a Club instead of a
Saloon, and carried a gold headed
Cane, a good many people would have
said that he Drank. AS it was, he
simply had the Name of being a High
Liver. When he was slightly Overset

objected to playing Poker with a

 She then went on to say that certain publishing house at the North had delib- erately withdrawn an agent from the southren States, because, as they affirm ed. the South would not buy books.
 Another publisher, broader and more liberal in his views, told me that the sale of a recent book of Southern au- thor had been great disappointment as far as the South was concerned. The book was well written, but the South did not take hold of it"
 q am inclined to believe she contin- ued, that large part of this indiner- ence lies at the door of the managers or Southern papers"
 "The masses. the general community, depend upon the papers for information and the editors who fairly discuss the books sent them are doing solid and lasting work"

Baruch, of Birming- ham, who is in charge of the largest book departments in the city and one of the most complete in the South, and whose opinion would naturally carry great weight.
 MT. Baruch, without a mom ent's he's itation said that the sales of books by Southern authors were five times larger in the South than they were In the North He mentioned several Southern writers whose books had reached phenomenal sales in the South"
 During the holidays" he continued, i've could not meet the demand for Song in the Old South" and "Bandanna Ballads" by Howard Weedon one of the most popular Southern authors. We could have easily sold 8 thousand more copies if we had had them in stock.
 There is Mistress Joy book by Mrs. Mckinney and Mrs Cooke, both Southern women, and one of the most popular books in the South. We sold 300 copies in less than six months.
 "Take Plantation Songs,' by Ell Shep- hard (Martha Young). a Southern writer. We could have sold 100 copies more within few days if we only had them.
 "'Smith Dexter by Sydney Mccall, a Southern woman, has had large sales throughout the South, and not only does the South encourages authors of fiction but also authors who come in the histor- ian class DuBose Miller, and others that I might mention.
 "I admit that the success of any branch as far as the sale is concerned is depepd- ent upon the reviews in the papers. In some of the books I have mentioned I frankly confess that their sales in Birm- ingham were due to the advertising they received in the papers. and the latter Is naturally the medium to which the pulp lie looks for information regarding the new books. You cannot be too emphat- ic in saying that the South is a splendid field for the Northern publisher and there are few instances where 1t does not en- courage Southern authors"

Clever French Comedy to Be Pre- sented by Local Talent-5rilliant Fancy Dress Ball to Be Danced
 at the Country Club.
BY ANNIE KENDRlcK WALKER.

I was somewhat surprised recently to hear a prominent Southern woman, now residing at the North, intimate that South did not lend the encouragement to Southern writers that they received at the North.
 As she had been for years we'll known figure in the literary world, her poems and books and articles of gener- al interest being widely read, felt that she was influenced in her opinion by incl dents brought to her attention, rather than by her personal experiences. My first impulse was to resent this implica- ton, but waited to hear upon what she based her opinion.
 You can hardly understand the feel ing she continued, mot to say preju- dice of publishers, in reference to send ing books to Southern papers and for the reason, which soon becomes potent to authors that so few papers take cogni- Eance of books. The editors coolly re- reive the book and let It severely alone"
 'I am a loyal Southerner, but l am obliged to see the injustice of this act on the part of my compatriots. Not long ago I received letter from a prominent man, a well-known and successful South ern author, who felt this injustice. Out of 600 reviews of his last book only six were from Southern papers. He added that some of the papers think less of you if you ask them for a review and have learned to depend entirely upon the Northern and Western papers.
 Tt Is too true" she continued, "and I am very glad to recognize the prompt ness of a few papers in the South in acknowledging books sent them by pub fishers. It is a duty and Southern auth ors would fare vastly better If all review CTS would recognize that it was a du- ty. It would help the South, for pub

written petition to Charles B. Scott,
manager Of the Lexington opera
house, asking that the play, "Uncle
Toms Cabin" never be played again
at the opera house there. The reas-
ons given are that the best citizens
and old families living in and about
Lexington were once slave owners, as
a heritage not Of their own choosing;
that the incidents Of "Uncle Toms
Cabin" are not typical Of slave life in
the South, but Of isolated cases; that
the production, the play and its being
advertised with bloodhounds and pic.
lures Of an old negro in chains, and
a slave owner, with whip in hand,
give false idea Of the history of the
times to the children Of the city and
its disrespect to the Southern gentle
men and good citizens and their fam
lilies in that part Of the country. II
the South is touchy on such scenes
it should have ceased creating them
