A DRAMA OF INTEREST
is THAT ON MONDAY
Southern Skies a Beauti=
full Play.

Under Southern Skies" the greatest
of all plays of Southern life now
before the public is we'll known by
reputation although the play has not
been here. The announcement that
Manager Harry X. Lucas has been
able to secure this splendid attrac
ton should be pleasant news to our
theatre goers. The play portrays the
social life of certain aristocratic fam
lilies of the South, and the story woven
about them is peculiarly Southern in
it's nature No other section of our
country could furnish a similar mo-
tive for a drama. 1t is a story of
absorbing interest and is founded up
on an incident in real life. There
are many amusing and interesting
characters and incidents in the play
and a Halloween celebration and
pumpkin dance are novelties which
rouse the audience to a high pitch
of laughter and enthusiasm. The
cast is large one, numbering TWEEN
ty-three people.

DEFENDS INDIANS
FROM HARSH POLICY
Friend Does Not Think
Much of Leupp.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Nov. T.
(SpeciaD a defense of the Ute
Indians Herbert Welsh, well known
as a friend of the Red Man, says in
regard to the present efforts of the
Commission to coerce the wards of the
nation:
THE real question is one of me-
thod. Is it just to starve innocent
women and children to coerce men?
Nov, what has Captain Johnson,
Of the regular army, to say, who was
appointed to investigate the trouble?
According to newspaper reports he
thinks the Indians have been harsh
ly treated; he says that the Indians
objected to sending their children
to a boarding school eighty miles
away He adds that the agent has cut
the rations in half Captain John
son does not believe in harsh meas
ures in treating these Indians, He
believes in conciliation.
On the other hand, I know Com
missioner Leupp very well, having
been intimately associated with him
in Indian work for many years. |
know his temperament. He is an
dDI6 man ana mas uOn6 u1uCn SOOu
work for Indians, but | would not care
to have him exercise arbitrary power
over me; for while | have no doubt if
he thought for my good he ought to
use the iron hand" with me he
would be actuated by the best mo-
tives | think more good could be
brought out of me by the kindly hand.
Il know some other parts of the
Indian field where this iron hand"
seems to be in vogue and where, ac
cording to my ideas-which may or
may not be sound ones-the
results are deplorable But that is a
fresh chapter and need not be opened
now | will only say, in closing, that
| hope the public, which is always the
final judge in these matters as Sec
rotary Stanton once intimated, will
favor the Captain John policy, not
the Commissioner Leupp iron hand"
policy
The latter means starving women
and babies in the beginning of Win
ter, which somehow doesn't quite fit
in with the old-fashioned American
ideas | hope those who feel as | do
will write line to the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs and the President
respectfully expressing their views"

PRESIDENT MAY
TONE DOWN MESSAGE

WASHINGTON d. c., Nov. T.
(SpeciaD For nearly two hours to-
day President Roosevelt was in con-
ference at the White House with Mr.,
Henry Clay Frick, the Pittsburg mil
lionaire, and Mr., Ebert Henry Gary,
chairman of the board of directors
and members of the finance commit
tee of the powerful United States
Steel Corporation.
One outgrowth of the conference
will it is understood on good au-
thority, be the revision of that por-
ton of President Roosevelt's message
to Congress relating to trusts and
finance. 1t it also understood that
the President was urged to recon-
mend an amendment of the Sherman
Antitrust act so as to make it appli-
cabe only to trusts operating in 'un-
reasonable" restraint of trade and not
against all trusts, whether good or
bad.
Both men have deep insight into
the industrial and financial factors
of the country and they are per-
haps the best two men that could
have been sent to Washington from
the Morgan conference for the pur-
pose of talking with the President
in an effort to make the gravity of the
situation clear to him and for the
realization of the crisis through which
the business and industrial world is
now passing.

PROUD OF INSTITUTION.

Definite announcement has been
made that the Third District Agricul-
tural College, located at Americas,
will open early in January All
matters have been satisfactorily ar
ranged and nothing stands in the way
of the successful operation of the
school.
Americas and Sumter county are
fortunate in having such a college
To be the home of an institution of
learning is always an advantage to a
town or county and in this instance
the technical character of the school
adds much to its value. While the
higher branches will not be encour-
| aged, it will be what its name i'm
pIies--a school designated to assist
scientific farming. Expenses will be
low for the student and the instruc
ton of very great material value to
those who desire to get the most out
of farming.
Until recently knowledge of
scientific farming was limited and
only to be secured by the hard
knocks of experience. knowledge of
the soil and of crop adaptibility which
are of incalcutable value to the pro-
Queer has been a subject taught in
few schools and those generally too
far for South Georgia boys to reach,
and too expensive for the ordinary
purse. But with the opening of the
college here all this will be changed.
Education of the highest order is
brought to our very doors.
The Agricultural College was OBJ
tanned by hard work and considerable
expenditure on the part of this coun-
ty. But this will increase the inter
est in the enterprise and the success
which the school is bound to achieve
will be a source of pride to every res
ident of the town and county.
