Pastors to .Uplift Drama.

Massillon, O., Dec. Six prom
inent clergymen, after considerable
discussion and manoeuvring to Sc,
cure the necessary funds, have an
nounced that they are determined tc
purge the drama Of this city of all
that is noxious and indecent. They
have declared that Massillon people
shall eventually see only the clean
est and most wholesome plays that
teach a moral lesson.
The plan evolved by the sextet OF
divines has passed the embryo stage
and arrangements have been com
pleted whereby French concert
company, negro jubilee singers and
other attractions will be brought
here and staged in competition with
the burlesque shows.
All the ministers are of high
standing in the community and they
will form a powerful combination

BROWN CRITICISES BLEASE.
Georgia Governor Regards South
Carolinian's Remarks Unfortunate.

Atlanta. Dec. 9.-"The executive
of no State has monopoly OF de-
votion to the white women of his
State or to the determination to pro-
tect them," declared Gov. Joseph NJ.
Brown, of Georgia., tonight in a
statement in which he criticised the
mob law speech of Gov. Blease, of
South Carolina, before the recent
Governors Conference at Richmond.
Il regard Gov. Blease's advocacy
of mob law as exceedingly unfortun-
ate," added Gov. Brown, for the
reason that in every other State in
the union the devotion of white men
to white women is as sacred as it is
in South Carolina and the determin-
alton to protect them, or, if needs
be, to visit condign punishment upon
those who have wronged them, is as
deep-seated and irrevocable as it is
in South Carolina.
Every governor with whom l
talked at the conference, and every
lady who gave me her opinion, stood
as one in advocating legal process
instead of mob law"

New Uses Of the Banana.

There are now in Jamaica six
factories manufacturing banana figs,
chips, meal and -four" said James
McC. Harris, of Boston, who recently
returend from Jamaica. During
the seasons at which the fruit is
cheapest, all of these plants are run
at their maximum capacity. The
methods of drying the fruit are diff
ferent in different plants, though
all resort, | believe to hot-air pro-
cess. 1t takes about 400 to 800
pounds of the fruit to manufacture
100 pounds of meal.
The banana fig is as palatable as
the natural fig and resent bles it close
ly in color. 1t has replaced the nat
ural fig in many markets in which
it has been introduced. The chips
are sold principally for breakfast
foods, being made into a porrldge.
Several of the manufacturers VINO
deal in the European markets ship
to the cities and have it ground into
meal there. Grist mills, the same
kind used for manufacturing meal
from corn, are used, says the Wash
ington Post.

POLITICAL PIE COUNTER.
SOUTH CAROLINA PATRONAGE IS
BEING MAPPED OUT.
Congressmen to Name POstmaSters
and Port Collectors and Sena-
tors District Attorney.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The South
Carolina delegation upon invitation
of Senator Tillman met in his office
this morning and agreed upon gen.
eral line of policy in regard to South
Carolina appointments. 1t was the
understanding that as nothing could
be done until they saw President
elect Wilson, the senators should
confer with Mr.. Wilson as soon as
practicable to learn his policy.
Plan of Procedure.
If Wilson agrees to have the sena-
tors and representatives from the
State control the patronage then the
rule to be followed will be this: All
the postmasters will be designated
by the congressman in their respect
i've districts, provided that no post
master shall be named who is per-
sonally Objectionable to either of the
senator's; the collectors of the ports
will be recommended in the same
way; the United States marshal and
district attorney will be designated
by the senators after comforting with
the delegation.
Naming of Postmasters.
1t was the opinion of the delega-
ton that President-elect Wilson
should be urged to rescind the execu-
tive order issued by President Taft
placing all fourth-class postmasters
under the civil service, for the rea-
son that in the South this opens
wide the door to negroes and they
believe this order was issued for the
purpose of perpetuating Republicans
in office.
The members of the delegation
who attended the conference in Sen
ator Tillman's office were himself
and Senator E. D. Smith and Repre-
sentatives Finley, Johnson: Lever,
and Byrnes. Representative Aiken
and Legare are not in Washington,
but are uderstood to be satisfied with
the delegations agreement.
Ragsdale Enters Kick.
Representative Ellerbe is in the
city, but did not attend the confer
ence, although Mr.. ]. w. Ragsdale,
who has been elected to succeed him
for the next term, was on hand and
participated in the discussion. Mr..
Ragsdale is dissatisfied with some
of the nominations for postmaster
ships which have been made in the
9Th district on Mr.. Ellerbe's recon-
mendation, and wants their confirm
alton held up.

and w. H. Priester, Stewards; G. D.
Loadholt, Tiler.
The lodge was called from labor
to refreshment and the refreshment
was a feast fit for the gods. Taken
as a whole that spread was one OF
the most if not the most elegant that
the writer has ever seen. 1t was
prepared under the supervision OF
Mrs. J. D. Jenny, and when 1t comes
to the art of the cuisine she has no
superior. We hope she may furnish
old Buford Lodge many more annual
dinners.
Miss Sudie Ritter, a social favor
ite and young lady of charming
personalities, is home again from a
three weeks visit to Charleston and
other places of interest in the low

brand" clothing? And what's he
doing with that pretty new watch

or, is hard, mighty hard, and costly
too.
Miss Mary Mace, of Marion, is
holding down again the White Point
school. She is we'll liked by her

handsome young man, and it looks
now like she may marry on the day
best liked by brides, lovely day in
June.

social tiara, is soon to leave us
Cards are out announcing her mar,

And he is far from being prodigal

more boys like ''Willie.
Farmer J. C. Breland is putting in
100 acres of oats, and much of this

UNFAIR SAYS TILLMAN.
Aids W. c.. Geraty in Complaint
Against Parcels Post.


ence with the Postmaster General
with reference to the complaint Of
the VIM. C. Geraty Company, of
Youngs Island, S. c., that under the
postoffice departments Interpretation
of the parcels post law, cabbage
plants, which. the Geraty Company
produces, are not allowed to be sent
through the mails on equal terms
with other merchandise Mr. Hitch
cock having demonstrated that the
trouble is with the law and not with
the departments Interpretation of it,
the Senator to-day wrote the Post
master General as follows:
my Dear Mr.. Hitchcock: Yours
of December just received, and I
see that 1 was in error in my pre-
vious letter in supposing that the
postoffice department had presumed
to change the law admitting cabbage
plants to the parcels post. want to
ask you now without having read
your report to Congress or knowing
what you say in it on this subject, if
you say anything at all, that I would
be glad if you would communicate
with the postal committees of each
house and recommend that these
words be stricken from the law:
That this act shall not in any
way affect the postage rate on seeds,
cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions. and
plants as fixed by Section 4S2 of the
Postal Laws and Regulations. This
would permit such articles to go
in the parcels post the same as any
thing else.
1T seems to me outrageous that
the express companies should be so
far favored by the Congress as to
have these things excepted. Is
there any good reason why butter
and eggs and even beef can enter
the parcels post, while seeds, bulbs,
cabbage plants, etc., be omitted? l
do not believe that you believe these
exceptions ought to be made or that
their omission can be justified by
right thinking people. The parcels
post, as I understand it, was enact
ed largely to enable the farmers to
dispose of their surplus products to
the people of the towns at a fair
price rather than have them rot,
thus reducing the cost of living.
Surely the farmers ought to be allow
ed to get such things in return from
anyone who has them to sell which
will cause the parcels post to benefit
them as much as it does the people
in the cities.
IF you see your way clear to
recommend this change to the postal
committee, l would be glad to have
copy of your letter. To my mind 1t
is preposterous condition that eX-
lists and utterly unjustifiable. 1T
would take a Philadelphia lawyer, a
dozen of them, to convince'the farm
ers that the cabbage itself should be
admitted to the parcels post, while
the cabbage plant, which grows the
cabbage, is not allowed in without
paying the old rate of postage. Why
should cabbage plants be charged at
the rate of one cent for each two
ounces while the cabbage itself is
admitted at parcels post rates? Very
respectfully,
"B. R. TILLMAN.'
