Antebellum days we're recalled at
the "Mammies' Dinner" given to the
"Ole Massahs" by the Ex.Slaves' asso'
citation at Birmingham, Alabama. Five
hundred uncles and aunties, all ex.
slaves, were present.
Some time ago the ex-slaves of Bir
mingham formed an association with
$50 members. The organization will
be extended over the south. An ex.
slaves home will be established near
Birmingham. Plans are already un-
der way for this institution, which
will be unique in many respects. The
home will be equipped with the old
time loom, spinning wheel and car
ders. Plots, ovens and the ash-cake
will take the place of modern cooking
utensils and bakers bread.
Only Negroes born before 1860 are
eligible to membership in the Eek
Slaves association. These only were
present the "Mammies' Dinner"
From all parts of the country the
old men and women came to the
"mammies' dinner. Among the guests
were number of former slave own
ers. and they joined heartily in the
spirit of the function. The dinner was
cooked in the same way as before the
war. Barbecued meats, ash cakes,
flapjacks, buttermilk. fried chicken
and other ante-bellum dishes formed
the menu.
Speeches we're made by former slave
owners and responded to by former
slaves.
An old-time camp meeting service
was held. Aged, bent and silver
haired ex-slave preachers shouted and
exhorted the listeners to keep away
from the wiles of the devil or be
doomed to eternal fire and birthstone,
and old-time scenes were reproduced
in detail.

was the meeting OF Marshall Light,

more than thirty years, had never

.PUJO INVESTIGATION
PRAISED BY NEELEY
Kansas Representative Says Money
Trust Inquiry at Least Caused
Price of Coffee to Fall.

Declaring that the Money Trust inves-
tigation at an expense of $1,000 had &C.
complished an annual saving to the people
of the United States Of $50. 10000 by reduc-'
ing the price of coffee over cents
pound. Representative Medley OF Kansas.
Democrat, yesterday urged the House to
continue the inquiry.
Neeley asserted that the inquiry had
developed evidence which resulted in
crushing the Brazilian coffee combine.
which had been exacting tribute from
every coffee consumer in the country.
This, in Neeley's opinion, was only one
of the many benefits arising from the
inquiry. He declared that the recon-
mendations of the Pujo committee for a
Federal embargo on speculation In Wall
Street and a restriction of the pirates
who operate the New York clearing
house should be enacted into law at the
earliest possible opportunity.
Neeley declared greater publicity should

asserting that press agents who draw q
salary OF $4,000 a year from J. p. Morgan
& Co. have conducted a systematic CAM
paign TO bring the committee into dis
repute.
Medley denounced the dissemination of
an alleged letter from J. p. Morgan &
Co. to the Money Trust committee
This letter contained many reckless
statements" said Medley. ''yet 47.0oo
copies of this libel were sent broadcast
throughout the United States to poison
the business public against the honesty
and good intentions of this committee in
an attempt to bolster up a system that
is indefensible.''
Medley criticised the House Banking
and Currency Committee for its mac
tivity.
'Over $50 members OF this House are
killing time with nothing to do" he
asserted. He declared they were willing
to work and should be given the oppor-
tunity TO make better use of their time.

changes decided upon by the Senate COM
mittee. and final action will be postponed
on this subject pending an estimate from
the Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
The Senate committee made substantial
additions to the free list contained IN the
Underwood bill. Among the more impor-
tant items added are pig iron, which was
taxed per cent in the House bill; iron
blooms, which bore similar tax: steel
ingots and billets, which were subjected
to a 10 per cent tax in the House meas
ure: cattle and sheep, also taxed 10 per
cent in the Underwood bill; wheat, which
carried tax of 10 cents a bushel; Angora
goat and alpaca hair. which was taxed
at 20 per cent by the House, and Portland
and other cements, which bore per
cent impost in the House bill.
In the case of the free listing of wheat,
provision has been made for the impo-
stion of a countervailing duty in cases
Of countries which continue to maintain
a duty against the United States.
Some of the most important changes
made by the Senate committee were in
the metal schedule. Not only were pig.
wrought. and scrap iron, ferro-man-
ganese, iron and slabs, blooms, steel, and
cogged ingots and steel billets and anti
mony ores, but corresponding reductions
were made upon many of the finished
products, including structural steel.
Changes We're adopted in favor of Ameri-
can manufacturers of low-priced automo-
biles, and the duties on motorcycles were
reduced by Is per cent from the House
rates; card clothing was classified and
substantially reduced. as were also nuts
and screws.
Aluminium was reduced in duty, but
the alloys were unchanged. Cast iron
pipe was increased from L. to Is per cent.
the former being deemed too low for the
larger diameters. Duty on lead ore was
increased from one-half to three-Quarters
of n cent per pound, and on zinc ore,
from 10 TO 12Is per cent. and on spelter,
from 10 to Is per cent.

WHY sTOREN LOST COLLECTORH
Senior Senator Issues Strong State
ment in Regard to Patronage and
Politics.

Washington, May S.-Senator Tillman
today gave out the following state
mant about patronage and politics in
the 1st South Carolia Congressional
district:
Some people in Charleston and Col
Teton counties will not understand just
how or why Mr.. Murray has become
postmaster at Walterboro, while Mr..
Storen has lost out in his fight for
the position as collector of customs at
Charleston. The situation was just
this:
George Legare, while living, en-
dorsed both of these men for the r"
spective Office and I promised him i
would do what I could for both OF
fbou

would do what l could for both OF
them.
StOren's Name Held Up.
"While the second primary was still
pending in the congressional district,
both names wer sent to the president
for appointment. bpt no action was
taken. Senator Smith and endorsed
both men and had the appointment
been made when the names first went
to the president both would have been
in office now. For some reason, which
/ have never been able to understand
Mr.. Murray's name came to the SEN
ate for postmaster at WATERFORD
while storen's name hung fire.
"When Mr.. Whaley came to Wash
ington and urged his rights to make
the appointments in his district as we
all had agreed that congressman
should do, the situation was, as have
above indicated. We indorsed Mr.. Muir
ray, and to our surprise, the name
came to the senate the day after Mr.
Whaley appeared here and after the
second primary had been held. Al
though he was not a congressman, he
was to all intents and purposes elect
ed, and we so recognized him.
Consulted Legare's Friends.
"Realizing that it would be unfair to
Mr.. Whaley to press Storen's appoint
ment, under the circumstances we held
it up and waited for news from
Charleston. 1 wrote to George Legare's
bosom friends there and asked their
opinion and advice The replies were
that if George Legare were living they
believed he would he against ,Storen
rather than for him.
"Mr. Whaley had indicated prefer
'ence for Mr.. Harvey first, and for Mr..
Peters second. Finally it was agreed
that Mr.. Peters should be recommend
ed for appointment and his name was
sent to the president and is now be-
fore the senate.
"Murray's appointment had been
made and was out Of reach before MT
Whaley arrived in Washington. The
senators would have stulti6ed them
selves had they tried to recall it. With
storen, the case was different, and we
did recall his name and substituted
Peters. Mr.. storen's activity against
Mr.. Whaley is the cause of his failure
to get the Office.
Would Warn the People.
T think it worth while, and, indeed,
nv duty, 20 warn the people of the lst
congressional district, that if half we
hear in Washington is true somebody
ought to be put in the penltentlary
pretty soon. An examination OF the
Penal Code shows that Sections $50,
361. 1853 and $50 have all been vio-
lated by more people than are aware
of it, perhaps. Promises to give OF
fees, actual payment of money for
votes. and other serious crimes are
mentioned. Many men, not in one
| county, but in several, are liable to go
to the penitentiary or pay fines. Inc
papers of the State would do well and
render the public a service If they
would print these sections of the Code
as warning to ohce-seekers and
their friends.
Hopes Legislature will Act.
81 sincerely trust that the next ses-
sion of the legislature will throw such
safeguards around the primary as to
make the corruption which is charged
impossible to occur. We have laws
