HAS LOWER PRICE KEY.
Want the Millions from the Poorer
Northern Sections.

New York Jan. 26.-The South
holds tie key to lower food prices
according to Governor Malcolm r.
Patterson. Of Tennessee, who Is in
New York for a few days. Here Is
what Governor Patterson had to say
when asked for his solution Of the
problems presented by the higher
cost of living:
I'VE are not feeling the pinch
nearly so much in the South as you
are up here. The principal reason is
the plentifulness and the productive
ness Of the land There Is no conges-
ton Of population in the South.
What we most need is an increase of
population.
'lf method could be devised by
which millions of the poor in the
crowded sections OF the East could
be scattered over the agricultural
lands Of the South, the problem of
the excessive cost Of living would be
soon solved.
Il hope soon to see an organized
movement led by able men to scat
ter the people back to the soil. Our
vast domain is yet undeveloped, and
there is where the fortunes of the
future are to be made. Any man
who comes to the South willing to
do the work Of a man will find pro-
fitable employment and an open road
to Independence.
Our land, though better than
most Of the Western land. is vastly
cheaper because the demand has
never been stimulated by the adven-
turOuS use OF subsidies for railroads
as in the West, which has been set
tied and developed through the ne
ccSity or the great railroads TO cntice
people 10 occupy their lands"

HE CHANGED THE BIBLE DATES
Forged them in Order that His Chill
drrn Could Work in Mill.

Spartanburg, Jan. 2S.--The first
prosecution for, violation Of the
child labor act occurred yesterday
when an operative by the name Of
DeatOn, who resides in the mill vii
lage at Pacolet, was fined $40. The
warrant was sworn out by inspectors
Sloan and McDougan, and the trial
was had before magistrate at
PacOlet. Deaton was charged with
violation of section 3 of the child
labor act in that he placed his
daughter, who is under II years Of
age, in a textile plant Of the State
He is also charged with changing
the date Of his daughters birth in
his family Bible so as to permit her
to work under the child labor act.
DeatOn is from North Carolina
and has been in this State about a
year. He made an affidavit that his
child is old enough to work in one
Of the mills. The factory inspectors
demanded his family Bible and found
that the date Of the child's birth
had been changed. Deaton was then
warned by the inspectors.
Several days ago the inspectors
found that Deaton had moved to an
other mill and had put his daughter
to work under another affidavit. This
was discovered when the last alfida-
Wit came to the office Of the labor
department.. This was made posi-
bic by the checking system used IN
the office OF Commissioner Watson.

for perjury said Commissioner
Watson yesterday, "but this was not

Against Public Drinking Cup.

Columbia Jan. 2i.-The state
Board OF Health has started cru
SADIE to eliminate the public drinking
cup from the State on the ground
that the cup Is dangerous spreader
OF Infectious diseases. 4 bill will
likely be introduced in the Legisla-
ture abOlishing the common cup in
public places, including schools,
waiting rooms and railroad trains.
DR.. Williams, secretary Of the State
Board Of Health, is exhibiting a
Snpply Of individual paper drinking
cups which are placed In a small ven
dor near the water cooler in the
office Of the board.
In North Carolina the Board of
Health condemned the common cup
last July. Authorities have proved
that the germs of disphtheria, tubcr-
cnlosiS and other more loathsome dis
cases are conveyed from sick persons
to healthy ones on the brims Of
drinking cups in public schools.

WATCHING THE IEGGMEN.
These Criminals are Especially Ac-
tive in South Carolina.
(Greenville NeWs.)

NGreenFlllG Nc"S.)
The activity Of the yeggmen in this
State awakens much interest from a
local standpoint; this interest being
brought about because Of the capture
and sensational escape OF "Tennes-
see Dutch" and George Barton from
the local jail.
When Barton was convicted and
given five years in the Federal prison
in Atlanta 1t was thought that the
action of the gang OF which he and
Tennessee Dutch" were members
would be temporarily stopped, but
the safe-cracking business has kept
up. Then when the news reached
here OF the tragic" death Of "Dutch"
it seemed reasonable that the biggest
link in the chain was broken.
But the post Office officials and de-
tectives have found out that there are
others working away and are giving
just as much trouble as the famous
crook killed down in Florida a few
days ago.
1t is quite interesting TO talk to a
post Office inspector about the opera
tions Of these criminals. and it is in
deed marvellous how these officers can
keep trace and track of the safe
crackers as they do.
Inspector Brown, who has charge
OF this district, has in his possession
numerous articles employed by safe
crackers in their work. When he re-
turned from Walhalla the other day
he brought with him n little bottle
containing spoonful OF nitro -glycer-
inc. which the robbers Of the post
Office safe in that town had left in
their hurry to get away after burst
ing open the safe. He also found a
big bar OF common soap that they
used in stopping NJ the cracks Of
the safe, and several pieces Of fuse
they had with them.
in explaining now q cracker uses
nitro-glyccrlnc in blowing safe. Mr.
Brown said that first they take an or
binary piece OF washing soap and
stop up all the cracks in a safe. cX-
cepting one little place. In this place
they pour in a few drops Of nitro
g!ycerine, and then stick in a piece
OF fuse. After lighting the fuse they
step aside, and when the door Is
blown from its hinges they hurriedly
rifle the safe Of its valuableS and get
away.
At Walhalla, however, Mr. Brown
says, the crackers used too much Of
the explosive and the door Of the safe
was blown completely across the
building, and in their excitement they
overlooked over a hundred dollars In
a little thread box in one Of the pig
con holes Of the safe.
lie has been working on this case
and has figured out the descriptions
OF the men he thinks guilty Of the
work. He says there is some proba-
bility Of the robbers Of the Due West
and Hartsvillc post Offices being the
ones who blew the safe at Walhalla
and he hopes to land them soon.
in talking OF the safe crackers, Mr..
Brown says the most dangerous man

A Query
Editor Rice Belt Journal,

Editor Rice Belt Journal,
Welsh, La, May 70, 1910.
Dear Sir: In reading the current
issue OF your good paper, | have
seen the programme of the commence
ment exercises of the high school:
that part pertaining to the religious
exercises to be held in the City Audi
torium Sunday night. | notice that
all the ministers of the several church.
es, in town, have places on the pro-
gramme, save and except the rector
of the Catholic church. Is not this,
to say the least, a serious breecn OF
courtesy? | am advised, on the most
reliable authority, that no invitation
was extended Father Rombouts to be
present, nor was any place assigned
him on the evenings programme.
Why was this? Is the machinery of
the public school system being run to
further the interests of any particular
sect, denomination or creed? In the
humble opinion of the writer, the
schools are state institutions, and, as
we have entire separation of church
and state, no UNCONVENTIONAL ques-
tons should enter, and therefore, an
invitation should have been extended
to each of the respective clergymen of
the town, to participate in this func-
ton. Would it not be as much sat-
isfaction to the great number of Cath.
oics, (who, by the way, compose
thirty-eight per cent OF the school pop
ulation OF the town to have their
pastor present and participating in
these exercises, as it will be to the
Protestants? Do the Catholics not
pay their pro rata of taxes, and thus
keep up the pay for the public schools
along with the Protestants? Is it not
fact that these Catholics, in large
measure, are original citizens of this
parish and state?
OF course, in regard to the relative
merits Of Catholicism and Protestant
ism, we all are entitled to our opin.
ions, yet, assert, without fear of
successful contradiction, no denomi-
national question should be injected
into the schools, nor anything per.
tanning thereto.
The writer of this article, is mem.
Der of the Protestant Episcopal church
and is holding no brief for the Catho.
lie denomination, especially as it ap-
pears that the Mother Church has
been, through the ages, we'll capable
of taking care of herself, but this is
written solely in the interest of fair
play and common justice to the Cath.
olics, among whom I number my
friends. Respectfully,
Jno. W. Hilldrup.
