trust. which. he said, was. the Aneri-
can Tobacco company, had derived
great benefit from the loss of revenue,
which he said, was due to the law re-
5neallng the Increased rates of 1895
The law providing for the high rates
of 1888 permitted tho manufacturer to
reduce the size OF the packages in
which the tobacco is sold to the people,
according to Mr.. Beyeridge. In 1901
this increased tobacco tax was re-
moved, said he, but the short weight
packages of tobacco were continued by
the Very law that removed the tax.
The manufacturer still collects the war
time tax from the people, but instead of
paying it to the government. he keeps
it for himself

When The Order Rounds its
Centennial Year.

In conversing on the passing of the
ninetieth anniversary of the Indepen-
lent Order of Odd Fellows, one of the
order who is intense in his fealty and
conversant with its history talked
most interestingly on the subject to
this writer, and we quote him as fol
lows in some things he said:
English Odd Fellowship he said
known as the Manchester Unity, is
much older, but the American institu-
tion has no connection with the par
9nt order All relations were severed
in the early days of the Independent
Orders history. x
'The first lodge in this country was
started in Baltimore April 26, 1919. II
spread from the start and for years
past it has had uninterrupted growth
Up to about ten years ago the Masons
outnumbered the Odd Fellows, but
now the latter is considerably ahead
in numerical strength. Both have
crossed the million mark in recent
years.

lodge and encampment was more ex-
pensive than it is now. Aprons as
well as collars were worn. We did
more parading in those days and
marched behind a brass band at every
funeral.
I'VE now have the uniformed Pa
triarchs Militant for parade and es-
cort duty and few organized bodies
make SO fine a show.
Those of us who are in the land
of the living ten years hence will see
a grand demonstration in celebration
of our centenary. The order will then
have attained a numerical strength OF
about 1,25O,OOO"

SIX DIE in ONE WEEK IN
ELECTRIC CHAIR AT RICHMOND
Result of Recent Crime in POwhatan.
Virginia.

Richmond, Va, April 29-During
the week beginning tomorrow six ne
groes are to be put to death in the
electric chair at the state penitentiary
be executed tomorrow, but three were
granted a respite of a few days be-
cause the superintendent of the pris-
on was afraid that some mishap might
occur if he attempted to put five men
to death in the same chair in one day.
Five of the six condemned negroes
are the men who instigated and car
ried out the crime in PoWhatan coun-
ty the night of February IL, when
Mrs. Mary e. Skipwith and Walter G.
Johnson, her farm manager, were rob-
bed, murdered and their bodies burn
ed in the home they occupied. More
than a dozen negroes were involved
in the crime. Five have been con-
victed and the others are in jail
awaiting trial.
John and William Brown, father
and son, are to go to the chair tomor-
row morning. Joe and Isham Tay-
lor will follow next Wednesday, and
| two days later Lewis Jenkins will be
put to death, as will also Howard
Toler, a negro who assaulted small
negro girl in Pulaski.

STATUE TO CONFEDERATE
SCOUT UNVEILED AT NASHVILLE
Had 1 Thousand Lives 1 Would
Lose Them All Before I Would
Betray My Friends.

Nashville, Tenn, April pa statue
of Sam Davis, the noted Confederate
scout who gave up his life rather than
reveal the source of information he
mad gained inside the Federal lines
was unveiled here today with inter-
esting ceremonies. The memorial oc-
cupies a conspicuous site ON Capitol
Hill and was erected with an appro-
priation made by the Tennessee leg
stature. 1t consists of a bronze stat
ue of Davis, of heroic proportions,
surmounting granite base. The
statue was modelled by George Julian
zolnay, the st. Louis sculptor.
Davis was captured in the Federal
lines at Pulaski, Tenn, November %
1868, with papers giving the field po-
sitions of the Federal troops. He was
hanged as spy five days later by or
der of General Dodge.
Had l a thousand lives, l would
lose them all before I would betray
my friends" were the words spoken
by Davis as he sat on the edge of his
coffin, condemned to be executed, af-
Ser General Dodge had offered him his
horse, side arms and an escort to
he Federal lines" if he would tell
who the traitor was from whom he
obtained the papers found on him
when captured.
