To the home of Major Daniel Norton,
Confederate veteran fighting a political
battle for the white race, comes beauti-
full young girl of whose antecedents little
is known The Majors son Harry falls in
love with her, and then startling dis
closure is made The evil of mixed
blood, which the Major has been fight
ing publicly with voice and pen, up
rears its ugly head in his own home,
The situation presented is daring in the
extreme, but handled without offense.
How the Major and his son met the situa-
ton is told in Thomas Dixon's remarkable
new play. THE Sins of the Father. which
will be seen in this city on Thursday,
Jan. II.
The subject of THE Sins of the Father"
is so big and vital-so imminent and
pressing upon the people of the south
that Thomas Dixon did not wait to put it
into novel, but attacked it directly by
means of this play. He had a message to
speak concerning racial purity, and he
has spoken it without delaying or finch
ing. 1t comes. in Mr.. Dixon's own words
as clarion call to the south to be true to
her best traditions and save American
civilization A book amuses and in
terests. but play drives message home
with ineomparably greater power. Those
who would witness the thrilling story MFR.
Dixon has put in dramatic guise and
would learn the nature of his extraordi-
nary message, will have their opportunity
at the Gondran Theatre next Thursday
night.

TO SEE THE CITY.
Fourteen-Year-old Boy Makes Seventy
Mile Tramp from Burnside to New
orleans-FIad Never Been ON
a Railroad Train.
New Orleans Daily States, Dec. 80.


Gil!et Griffin. a fourteen-year-old boy,
| who says he is a "Cagin" and whose home
is five miles from Burnside, walked sew
enty miles in one day to New Orleans just
to ''see where the trains went, to use his
own words. The boy was picked up Tues
day night at Canal and Royal streets at
1890 O'Clock by officers Joe Roach
and George Gleason. He was in COM
plete stage of bewiderment, as he had
never seen street car, an automobile or
an electric light, and had never been on a
train or seen the inside of schoolhouse.
The boy lives on plantation, and was
accustomed to make frequent trips to the
hamlet of Burnside He used to wonder
where the trains went, and last Tuesday
decided to find out. He had heard of
New Orleans and wanted to see the big
city He had no idea it was so far, but,
with grim determination, stuck to the
railroad tracks and finally beheld the
lights of the city. He followed the crowds
and was soon at Canal and Royal drink
ing in the sights.
1t was all wonderful to him, and as he
gazed in awe and admiration on the
passing throngs, the Whirling automo-
biles, the street cars, the tall buildings
and other sights entirely foreign to him.
he naturally attracted the attention of
the officers.
He did not even know they were po-
licemen, but followed them with child
ike simplicity to the Juvenile Court
building, where he was given bed for
the night and was supplied with good
supper and breakfast the next day. 1t
was with difficulty that Judge Andrew
Wilson and Supt. Thomas Agnew, of the
S. P. c. c.. learned the boys story. as he
informed them that he only spoke "Cagin. ;"
1t was learned that his father, John
Griffin, is a farmer on the Miles planta-
ton. Amadee Gaudet, local agent of
the Miles Company, telephoned to DR..
Miles, who requested that the boy be re-
turned home.
Elmer Hunt, who is connected with
the Miles plantation, happened to be MAX
ing journey to Burnside and acted as
guardian of the boy on his return trip
Thursday night. He spent his time in the
city at the home of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children and in
the few days he was in the city was
awed by the sights his eyes were unac-
cnstomed to.
His first ride in a street car was the
treat of his life, but when he saw the
airships it was all too wonderful and he
expressed a desire TO return to his coun-
try home. He was escorted to the sta
ton by Officer Die" Coleman, and
placed in charge of Mr. Hunt He left
the city anxious to so home, but delighted
with his pilgrimage.

The Basasse Drying Experiment.

Some months ago.a narration and de-
scription of the bagasse drying apparatus,
as was TO be experimentally tried on Palo
Alto plantation, exclusively appeared in
these columns Then twas told how Pro-
fessor E. W. Kerr, head of the engineering
department of the Louisiana State Uni
versity, had designed and built bagasse
drying apparatus for operation at the
Lemanns Palo Alto central. in Ascension,
whereby he hoped to find that the utili-
cation of the waste heat going out of the
furnace stacks could be proitably en-
ployed to dry bagasse preliminary to its
burning in the furnaces.
Concerning the result of the experiment.
at which Prof. Kerr closely worked for
several months at Palo Alto. it is learned
through a Baton Rouge despatch to the
press, under date of Dec. go. that in the
light of the data obtained it appears there
are great possibilities for bagasse drying
to be proftably conducted at Louisiana
sugarhouses, for according to the expressed
views of the experimenter, with his dry
ing machine he states that he has been
ableto remove approximately 80 to IS per
cent of the moisture of the bagasse."
This finding was accompanied by ex-
haustive boiler tests to determine what
increased evaporative power rests with
the dried bagasse over and above that
got from green bagasse as fed to the
furnace direct from the MILL and the
greater fuel value of the dried bagasse
was ascertained to be distinct and quite
worth while.
Detailed report from Prof. Kerr will be
awaited with great interest by the sugar
planters at large. who have already
profted much by his sugarhouse engi-
neering investigations in behalf of the
industry Modern Sugar Planter.
