DEVELOP MAIL ORDERS.
Charleston Expecting to Reap Big Pro-
fits from Operation of the New Par.
GELS Post Law.

nus from operation OF the New Par
GELS Post Law.
Charleston, Sept. 27.-The operation
OF the parcels post law which becomes
effective on January /, 1913, by which
packages not exceeding II pounds
may be transported through the mail,
is expected to develop the mail order
business in Charleston considerably
with the location Of branch houses
here of some of the big mail order
establishments of the country. Rumors
have been heard or some of the big
establishments placing branch houses
here which will be the distributing
points for their goods for this sec
ton. The rate for the packages in
excess of four ounces increases as
the zones or distances grow and in
order to secure the best results, it
VIII be necessary or desirable for
these big mail order establishments to
locate branch houses in various sec
tions of the country. Otherwise the
postage rates on more remote places
which the firms expect to do. With
the Clyde company operating a line
TO Charleston from New York and
Boston; the Southern Steamship com
pany running steamers here from
Philadelphia; the Philadelphia and
Gulf Steamship company operating
vessels from Philadelphia and New
Orleans to this port and the Baltimore
and Carolina Steamship company run
ming ships here from Baltimore, Char
lesion was water transportation which
materially supplements the railroad
and also cheapens considerably freight
rates which is facto rim the estab-
lishment of any large shipping bust
ness. The mail order houses can
consequently get their goods to Char
lesion at greatly reduced rates and
then be prepared to make all the bet
ter showing in the competition of the
mail order business.

Progressive Platform.
New Orleans, Sept 27.-It was in
the interest Of the south, said Colonel
Roosevelt today, that he came into
the southland to make his appeal in
behalf of the progressive party
Il want you 20 emancipate your
selves" he said. 81 want you to feel
free to vote as your conscience in.
clines you to. If we win, i want you
to take your share in steering the
wheels of the nation. | am less en-
gagged in pleading my cause than in
pleading yours"
Artificial political barriers had
sundered the south in the past, he
said, from it's own interests. He ap-
pealed to those in the south who be-
lieved as he believed to lay aside ira
dtion and join with the new party.
Colonel Roosevelt spent the day in
New Orleans. He rode in parade
through the old French section and
the parks and later spoke at the Win
ter Garden
Tonight he left for Alabama.
Many Admirers. bat Few Voters.
AT the Winter Garden Colonel
Roosevelt was given a demonstration
which continued for several mintes.
Colonel Roosevelt made a speech
which differed throughout from any
other of his campaign. He said DO
litical conditions in the south remind
ed him Of a visit he made to Texas,
when loving cup was presented to
him. There were 10000 people pres
ent when the loving cup was pre-
sented,' he said, "and the man who
presented it said This is from Tex
as where you have more admirers
and fewer voters than in any other
| state
Now I'll tell you an anecdote of
louisiana" the colonel went on. "A
man of certain club in New Orleans
said to me: There was no more re-
joicing anywhere than in our club
when you were elected | replied
that there were no symptoms of such
feeling in the vote cast in Louis
lana, and he said, Well, of course
we all voted against you but we were
anxious to see you win.

continued, that you and / should be

you who look at the great problems
which are facing the nation today as
do.

We're going to make success of this

Unnatural Position.

When as president came to deal
with the problems affecting your in
terests. l was obliged to treat them
in wholly unnatural manner, for
there was no representative Of yours

was supposed to be antagonistic to
me. l tried my best while / was

country. and | should have been
ashamed of myself IL the interests OF
the gulf states had not bee mas dear
as those Of any other states"
Colonel Roosevelt gave several ex-
amples of the way in which he said
artivcial political barriers placed the
south i'll an unnatural position. AL
though the Panama canal was OF par
ticular interest to the south, he said,
the chief opposition to the ratifica-
tion of the treaty with Panama came
from southern senator's on account of
the political affiliations. He referred
to the Mississippi floods. saying that
although democratic house of rep
resentatives had been in session for
five months after the food no move
had been made to prevent a repetl-
tion of the disaster. He said lie ia
vored utilization of the Panama canal
plant for great project OF improve
ment of the waterways Of the Mis-
sissippi valley which should prevent
floods as we'll as serving many other
purposed
The Sugar Tariff.
The action OF the democrats in the
house in voting for abolition OF the
tariff on sugar was cited by Colonel
Roosevelt as another example of
what he meant. lie said that the
democratic party STOOD for free entry
of sugar, which would compel the
great majority OF sugar cane and beet
growers to go out Of business, where
as the progressives we're opposed both
to excessive protection and to lower
ing the tariff to a point which would
harm producers.
IF you don't agree with me on
these matters" ne continued, then
you ought to be against me. But II
you do believe as do, then | want
to find some way so that you and !
can get together and work for the
common good, not merely quietly
voting for us, as If you felt rather
ashamed to let your brother know
about it, but to come out and work
for us"

MINISTER BREACHES
ON NEW THOUGHT"
No Adequate Place Is Given Jesus
of Nazareth in This
Belief.

New Thought was discussed yester-
day by Rev. James S. Montgomery at
Metropolitan Memorial Methodist Church,
in sermon entitled. In the Trail of
Destructive Heresies." DR.. Montgomery
said, in part:
I'VE have with us to-day what Is known
as the New Thought" 1t lives in the
faith of ideas, and these ideas are not
just to be trtfied with, with the thought
OF thus laughing them out of court Many
of these ideas have fascinated many in
telligent people, and time will separate
the false from tho true.
But the truth is stirring; there is no
steering away from her: for there is
nothing to fear from her-absolutely moth
ing.
II am not antagonistic TO much OF The
New Thought" believe in many of her
Observation-Disclosures do not travel North.
for the sun does not rise in that direc-
ton Doubtless. in clarifying the psyche
logical laws, additional help will be given
TO better understanding of the Chris
tian life. But some OF its tenets were not
borne in the college OF logic, nor in the
Holy Bible. The mystic forces are about
us and are being revealed; hitherto they
were stray sunbeams, which twisted our
faces into expressions of contempt. and
we looked sideways. The marvellous phe-
nomena Of hypnousm and telepathy and
the numerous discoveries made to-day are
more than phantasms; they are realities
which will strengthen greatly the good
and resolute habit
But an Ominous danger is with US. i
ought TO be reprobated and disowned 1t
upsetS the sacramental bread, and the
sinners redemptive hymn dies out. In the
trail of this heresy We find no adequate
place given Jesus of Nazareth. In its lit
erature He is simply a little more than
one of a crowd. 1t does not call upon all
the people to Join in the ''Miserere" and
direct their eyes to Calvary's Cross-once
sign of ignOminy and shame, but now
speaking to the world the holy words
of pardon and peace-like an infinite rose
moon in the sky OF humanity. Neither do
we find in the declaration of THE New
Thought the fact Of human guilt. and
rarely do We stumble upon the stupendous
fact of sin.
Let US proclaim the louder the Evan
gel Of His Grace and herald TO the world
that Jesus is always STOPPING and writing
on the ground"

reminder that she had promised
not to attempt to name her successor
was all the answer Mrs. Matthew T.
Scott, president general of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution, would
give to questions last night about the
campaign for the presidency general
In which Mrs. William Cumming Story
and Mrs. John Miller Horton are at
present prominent candidates.
While Mrs. Scott stated that she was
opposed to the election of Mrs. Story
now as she had been in the past, she
said very plainly that she intended to
take no part whatever in the campaign.
Il announced that 1 would not seek
TO influence the Daughters in the cleo
ton of my successor" Mrs. Scott said.
and 1 shall adhere to that policy"
The ID. A. r. is in splendid financial
condition, Mrs. Scott said. She paid
$4,000 Of the bonded indebtedness a
few days ago, reducing the original
debt of 100000 to $15o.oOO. 1t is prob
able, she said. that $4,000 more will be
paid of about Christmas.
Mrs. Scott left last night for Mem
phis, where she will attend the Ten
nessee D. A. R. conference.

One good design for school coat
seen short time ago was cut in. three
pieces-a plain, straight back and two
plain fronts. Although there was only
a single row of buttons down the
front, il was really double breasted.
The material was dark brown serge.
and there was black satin facing TO
both collar and cuffs. The coat hung
loose and straight, following closely
the straight silhouette favored by the
grown womens coats. =.
An unusual feature was the deep
armholes, for, while the armhole
around the top and down the back. and
front followed the usual armhole lines.

point nearly to the waist Zine. In
