Starving and Fatigued. Claude Swan
son Allen Gives Himself Up.

Hillsville, Va, March 2S.--Starv-
ing. sleepless and fatigued, Claude
Swanson Allen, namesake of Uni
ted States Senator, came out OF the
laurel thicket on the Blue Ridge to-.
day, pointed two siX-shoOters toward
the sky and gave himself to the
posse, which, for nearly two weeks,
has hunted him. Complacent and
almost happy, he then sat, sheltered
from a driving storm by the little
brick jail, a stones throw from Car
roll county court house, whore, on
March IA the Allen gang killed the
judge, the prosecuting attorney, the
sheriff, juror and o bystander. All
day the posses. divided into small
bands, have been following q trail
thought to be that Of Wesley Ed
wards, nephew OF the Aliens.
Claude Allen, a son Of Floyd Allen,
who was the cause of the court house.
shooting, had been given up as hav-
ing escaped. Detective Lucas and
four men were working toward
Floyd Aliens home, when suddenly,
25 yards or SO off the Mount Airy
road, a figure, creeping stealthily
through the underground, was dimly
seen through the mist which over
hung the mountain slope. Close be-
hind Lucas the other men brought
their rifles to their shoulders, when
to- their surprise, Allen stepped out
into the road with his hands up"
raised, pistol in each.
Glad to Come In.
81 am glad to get chance to come
in," he said. ''I haven't slept in a
bed since the shooting. I'm hungry"
The young mountaineer swung In
between the men Of the posse and
they started back to Hillsville.
"I could have shot you" said AL
len as he smiled and nodded toward
Detective Lucas, "but 7 was little
excited at having you come upon me
SO soon. Anyway, did not want to
have to Kill anybody"

Automobiles are in general use, and
yet horses and mules are selling at
higher prices to-day than ever be-
fore.
This is a progressive age. The
United States has tagged behind all
other countries in the matter Of par
cells post system, but we cannot do
SO much longer. 1t Is bound to come
and we had as we'll get ready for It,
but | do not believe there is any
cause for anybody to feel alarmed.
1t will not hurt merchant doing a
legitimate business; on the contrary,
I believe it will help him when the
parcels post system is established,
though, think, we should have the
zone system Of rates-that is, one
charge for a distance Of 100 miles, a
little higher charge for distance Of
200 miles, still higher for 500 miles,
and so on. That would be fair. 1t
would be q busness-like way Of con-
ducting the business, and in addition
it would give the country merchant
all the protection he could ask--if,
indeed, he has the right to ask for
any protection. believe that when
we get the parcels post 1t will be on
the zone system basis. I have dis
cussed it with a number Of members
Of Congress- and all OF them approve
Of it.
I trust | have made my position
clear. l thank you for your letter,
and would be glad to hear from you
at any time. I am always glad to
get the views OF my friends on pub
,ic matters, and to exchange views
with them. Sincerely yours,
Wyatt Aiken.

%uiEN ON THE PARCELS POST.
congressman Shows Where Measure
Is in Interest OF People.

The following letter by Congress
man Wyatt Aiken was written to
constituent in reply to structure
against the proposed parcels post
measure now pending before Con-
gress:
Washington, March 25, 1919
Dear Sir: Your letter of recent date
asking me to vote against the par
cells post bill has been received.
have received several letters OF 4
similar nature, and the fact that they
are almost exactly alike, in phrase
ology and general construction, con-
vinces me that they are being in
spired from some common source.
cannot help but wonder If the eX-
press companies are not using some
merchants organization to pull the
chestnuts out Of the fire for them.
believe in frankness in all things,
and I shall deal frankly with you.
In the first place, the bill now be-
fore Congress Is not a bill to estah.
lish a parcels post system, though it
js undoubtedly step in that direc-
tion. The law now permits packages
Weighing four pounds or less to be
sent through the mails at the rate Of
l6 cents a pound, or $500 per ton.
This bill proposes to reduce the rate
routes to towns having rural routes.
If the bill becomes law the practi-
zeal effect OF it will be to permit mer-
chants at Anderson, say. to send
z packages 10 customers on the ruro,
routes go.lg out from Anderson at
J thnTate. ~ j g. .gnts per pound, While
persons living Oh Slo routes can send
Y packages to Anderson at the same
rate. Merchants at Charleston or
s Chicago sending packages to people
on the rural routes at Anderson
would have to pay the old rate Of
16 cents per pound. How will a bill
Of this kind hurt the Southern mer-
chant and manufacturer" as you
claim in your letter?
1t cannot possibly hurt them, and
/ am convinced that it will benefit
them and the whole people as we'll
IN view Of this statement OF the case,
do you think I am justified in the be-
lief that these letters protesting
against this bill are being inspired
by those who see in it a step toward
a general parcels post system, which
might hurt them? No business in
terest in this country would be hurt
by the parcels post system save the
express companies.
| believe it will be only few
years until we Will have a general
post system in this country, and with
the lights now before me l am ready
to vote for such bill when it comes
up.
The only argument l have ever
heard against the parcels post sys-
tenn is that it would help the mail
order houses at the eXepnse Of the
merchants in the small towns. 7 do
not believe 1t would have that effect
at all. The home merchant has every
advantage. The people Of his COM
munity know him, and If he Is the
right kind Of merchant they will
have confidence in him. He Is will
ing to make good mistakes and to
make his goods satisfactory If they
turn out to be unsatisfactory. His
expenses are less than the expenses
OF the mail order house in the big
city, and he can sell goods just as
cheaply as they possibly can. The

There was quite sensation at
the Bienvenu Theatre Saturday
night when a film took fire and
created a little panic. The hall
was not very crowded at the time,
but those inside were certainly
panicky, but no one was hurt and
the fire was easily controlled. The
burning film was thrown out of
the window, and the hose which
is always ready by the side of the
oper ator was put into play aud did
the work of putting out the fire
in short order. This house has a
hose aud nozzs by the side of the
operator and two back Of the stage.
What is needed in this place of
amusement is doors leading to
the stage opening both ways and
a door and steps to get out from
the rear, and lights back Of the
curtain so that in. case of fire the
people can get out easily and not
be lost and confused in the dark.
