For years back the unsanitary
condition of Franklin was caused
~ the fact that there was no COM
mon ground upon which to dump
tne garbage and trash that must
OF necessity accumulate in every
yard. About six weeks ago this
situation was relieved by the gen.
erous managers of the Kyle Lum-
ger Company, who freely gave a
tfact OF their land near the north
efn limits of the town for that
purpose. It is said that a corpor-
alton has no souls; but this act
OF generosity, and many others
needless to express, fully show
that the souls of good men, who
compose the personnel of that
company, are full of the tenderest
good will. In the name of the
people of Franklin, whom they
nave so materially benefited, the
BANNER tenders them their sim
cesest thanks.

The stranger who comes within
our gates 1--WE freely admit that
perforce they are few now must
admire the clearly and sanitary
condition of franklin. This has
been brought about by a nominal
expense to our town government
but it is almost wholly the volun-
tary achievement of our citizens
both white and black. Every
yard is absolutely clean-no food
for pestilence exists; and should
the dreaded disease, which is
bringing death and sorrow to our
stricken neighbors, appear here,
We feel that the medical scientist
must adopt another theory for its
coming; because our people have
enforced every measure required
to counterfeit the established
and proven means of it's dissem-
nation.

FOUR CABINET MEN TO QUIT.
Shaw, Moody, Hitchcock and Morton
Plan Stepping Down.

Within the next few months, writes a
special correspondent of the Chicago
Daily News, President Roosevelt may
have to reconstruct considerable part of
his present cabinet. Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw announced some time ago
that he would probably retire from his
post not later than next February. Two
other members of the cabinet Secretary
OF the Interior Hitchcock and Attorney
General Moody, were restrained from re-
firing on March only because of the at
tractiveness of duties connected with
their departments, the former wishing TO
prosecute further the Oregon land-fraud
cases and the latter desiring to make
showing in the beef-trust cases. 1t has
not yet been definitely intimated just
when either will retire. Secretary OF
War Taft has been prominently men
toned to succeed Mr.. Moody. To do so
it would be necessary for him to resign
his present post, which is so closely link
ed with the problems of the Philippines,
subject 70 which Secretary Taft IS
welded. Postmaster General Cortelyou,
whose name has been connected with the
affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, is a sure member of the cabinet,
if the other matter does not materialize.
In the event he shall remain he will prob
ably succeed Secretary Shaw at the
treasury, and Harry New of Indiana will
succeed him as Postmaster General. Sec
rotary of the Navy Morton, after visit
with the President. has intimated that he
would retire from the cabinet in the fall
This move has not been unexpected.

TRIES TO AWE BALL PLAYERS.
Minnesota Woman, Arrayed in Ameri-
can Flag, Attempts to Stop Game.

Can r ia&y Attempts 10 StOp odhSs
Arrayed in stylish attire and with
large American flag wrapped about her,
Mrs. l.. Slaight, prominent temperance
reformer. made a novel but unsuccessful
attempt to stop the progress of Sunday
game of baseball in Hutchinson, Mimi.
The Ministers Association and W. c.
Il. u. had petitioned the authorities to
forbid the playing of the game, but upon
this being refused Mrs. Saight took the
matter into her own hands. She had pla-
cards printed and posted about the
grounds bearing the words, ITO attack
the flag of the United States while 1t Is
being used in the enforcement of law is,
according, to the statutes, high treason"
Despite this warning the crowd assem-
bled to see the game and the players
took their positions When the umpire
called play BALI Mrs. Slaight majes
tically marched on to the diamond and
took up a position between the pitcher
and the batsman. The pitcher attempted
TO curve the ball around her. but fail
ing in this another battery was called
into requisition and both pitchers began
tossing the ball toward the plate at once,
neceSsitating considerable activity on the
part of the reformer. Finally the crowd
swarmed on to the field and good
naturally surrounding the flag-enshroud-
ed woman, forced her off the field. Mrs.
Slaight says she intends to call the at
tention of the federal authorities to the
assault upon the flag.
