MAMMY'S ANTE-BELLUM
DREAM is JUST REALIZED

Sold down the river more than
fifty years ago, a young negro woman
stiied her grief at being torn from
relatives and the mistress she wor-
shipped and lived through the dark
years of the Civil War in the hope
that at It's close she would be free to
return, says a story from Maysville,
Ky. A dealer in mules and blacks had
bought her from the family of Frank
Case, neal Maysville, and disposed OF
her to a plantation owner in Mississippi,
But she persisted in c~herishing the be-
lief hat some day in some way there
would be a reunion, and it came yes
terday.
Two weeks g nanny" was sit
ting at a road gate of the plantation
property, smoking and dreaming. A
young travelling salesman walked up.
He looks powerful LAX Marse
Frank" she unused, and then as the
man stopped she said, II doan know
YOU name. but you is the image OF
old Marse Frank Case, in Maysville.'
The salesman smiled, announced that
he var a nephew of the Cases. Trans
portation was arranged and now
nanny is in her old cabin near
Maysville.

MAN PROTESTS IN
TO GRAVE" CHARGE
Denies He committed Suicide, as
POStOffice Reported.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A voice
from an alleged dead man was heard
by the House committee investigating
the Lewis controversy with the post
office department which renewed its
hearings yesterday. In an effort tc
show the u~nreliability of the inspectors
reports that resulted in the recall Of
second-class mail privileges from the
Lewis publications several years ago,
attorney for the Lewis Publishing
Company read a letter from a man
alleged in the report to have commit
ted suicide.
The letter was dated December %,
1911. and was signed by Otto Stoelker,
former business assistant of e. G..
Lewis, who postoff1ce inspectors had
declared had killed himself because OF
the shame and modification of a%ssocsa-
ton IN the Lewis enterprises.
Third Assistant Postmaster-G General
Britt, on the introduction of the letter
asserted that it was merely a mistake
on thu part of Postoffice Inspector
Stice and that the fact that Stoelker
was still alive had no bearing on the
investigation.
I'VE introduce this with no malice,
but merely to show that inspectors
reports are not as accurate as has
been claimed by the Postoffice Depart
ment and that We were ruined by such
inaccuracies as this" said Mr.. Lewis.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. ITO drain
70, 900, 900 acres of American swamp and
overflow land, retaining them for ag-
ricultural purposes, and at the same
time destroy the present breeding spots
for disease. the second drainage con-
| gress will his month devise ways and
mean whereby each state may CO.
operate with the federal government.
Edmund T. Perkins, of Chicago. for
merly of the engineering department
of the United states reclamation serv-
ice, Is the acting president of the con-
gress.
A territory nearly as large as the
States Of Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky
is now unfit for farming purposes be-
cause of its lack of proper drainage.
Nearly every State has it's swampy
lands; Florida, with more than 1S,000,-
900 acres, leads; then follow Louisiana,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Minnesota,
Michigan, n on down to Oklahoma's
81, 900 acres.
All that land reclaimed would make
465, 1856 farms of 1850 acres each. The
fertility of the soil is unquestioned. A
million S0-acre farms would support at
least 5000, 900 persons n increase the
national agricultural production Won
derfully.
The first TASK of the drainage con
gress will be to prevail upon the fed
eral congress to create a national COM
mission which shall make surveys, es-
Inmates of cost. and work out a COM
prehensive plan in cooperation with
the various States. e

while "a others obtained employment
on their own efforts and earned $2,964.

tered into by the students, among them
being ~stereopticon operators, solicitors.
twists, walters, stenographers, tele-
phone operators. agents, clerks, fur
mace tenders, ushers. advertising writ
ers. printers, boys club leaders. tu-
