The Play Committee of the Day

selected a play called Mater" but
on account OF the royalty of fifty dol

CITY APPOINTMENTS
Pennsy Conductor Lauds
Chief Gormon and Super
intendent Johnson.

J. w. Finfrock, well-known rail
road man of this city, has sent to the
Palladium the following letter, pro-
testing against the removal of l. A.
Eormon as chief of police, and n. H.
Johnson, as superintendent of the mu-
nicipal light plant:
Dear Sir-As a Democrat | wish to
enter my protest against the removal
of Chief Of Police Gormon. After a
residence in Richmond for more than
thirty-fve years, / am of the opinion
the police department Of the city is
Of the highest type when we take in
consideration the small number of pa
trolmen to population OF the city.
Having been conductor on the
Pennsylvania lines for a number of
years | have had many opportunities
of hearing the opinions Of outsiders,
and the efficiency of our department
compared with that Of even larger
cities has often been commented up
on. One government detective said
that in looking up calls he frequently
visited Richmond, and dropped in at
all of the places where violators of
law were apt to congregate, but in
no case did he find any place harbor-
ing such men. He said that that fact
alone would indicate that our chief
knew his business and kept his eyes
open.
Mr.. Johnson also has shown him,
self to be a very capable man, and
a change at this time to superin-
tendent Of less experience would be a
money loss to every taxpayer in the
city. It Is only human nature that
the mayor-elect should wish to help
those who have been his staunch
friends, but / fear he will make a
great mistake if he insists upon max
ing these changes. 1t is to be hoped
he will find other ways open to do
Justice to those to whom he feels un,
der obligations. Yours truly,

Fellow.

Rush of Christmas packages is eX-
pected to begin the Sunday before
Christmas, Lawrence Handley, super
intendent of carriers said today. The
postoffice has six men ready to start
work at moments notice to follow
out instructions from the postmaster
general to get all Christmas packages
to their destination as rapidly as pos
sible. An unusually large number of
parcels were handled this morning.
Despite anything we may say or
do to get the people TO send their
mail early, they will not heed the
advice" said Mr.. Handley. They
will figure out that it takes day or
two days to get letter to a certain
place under ordinary conditions, and
they will put off mailing their Christ
mas packages until a day or two be
fore Christmas in hopes that it will
be delivered on the Christmas morn
delivery. Many will be disappointed
however, because there is sure to be
some congestion at some of the trans
fere stations somewhere along the
line"
MIR. Handley said the order against
mailing tinsel post cards is being dis
Obeyed The postal clerks have or
ders to throw away any tinsel cards
which are not in envelopes.
He suggested that in case where
mail is sent to children and the street
address is not known, the parents
name should be put on the package OF
letter However, exact addresses
should be secured, if possible, as there
will be many inexperienced persons
handling mail during the holiday rush
who are not acquainted with the peo
pie the regular men know.

HOSTS New Banner.
Amid the stress of modern political
vagaries and social and economic fadS
the Republican party holds aloft the
banner of reason and common sense.
1t advocates the American ideal of
simple representative government as
plainly set forth in the constitution.
1t supports the constitutional cO-Or-
dinate branches of government legis-
lative, executive and judicial. Thus
it combats the doctrines of recall of
judicial decisions, strangulation of the
United States supreme court. abolition
of the United States senate and the
notification of the presidents veto
subversive doctrines taken from the
national Socialist platform of 1908 by
the Progressive party. 1t advocates
the simplest form of representative
government instead of government
by experts and 'bureaucrats,' who
would fool the people by the tangled
and devious ways of circumlocution
and misrepresentation,
The ideal set forth in the beautiful
story of Damon and Pythias should
be the dream and vision of every
young American. The Progressive
party utterly lacks this ideal. and it
must, by a universal moral law, ulti-
mately go down to defeat.

FAIL TO RETURN
SEARCH BEING MADE AT TALo-
WAH FOR TWO YOUNG WOMEN
WHO HAVE DISAPPEARED.

A telephone message from Talowah,
a little station about three miles be-
low Purvis, on the N. o. & N. e. R. R.,
states that two young women, who
went fishing Monday afternoon, had
not returned home and all efforts to

women reported to be missing are
Mrs. Simon P. Smith, young married
woman, wife of S. P. Smith, and Miss
Ada Wardine, daughter of Dan Ward
inc, farmers who live about three
miles from Talowah. The message
stated that searching party spent
nearly all night looking for the young
women and after tracing them short
distance lost all trace of them, and
the search is being continued today.
1t was stated that no evidence had
been found that would lead to the
belief that they had been drowned
or foully dealt with and people in the
neighborhood are at loss to account
for the disappearance of the young
women.

JOE BROWN, OF BLUE MOUNTAIN
ANXIOUS TO ESTABLISH A
COLLEGE IN H'BURG.

Hattiesburg has gained such rep
utation as an educational centre that
plans for further extension in this
line are being seriously considered.
AS is well known, Joe e. Brown of
Blue Mountain, Miss, has for long
time successfully maintained an in
dustrial school for boys and his repu-
tation as an educator has made, his
school in the extreme northern end of
the state very popular.
Mr.. Brown has several times In
dicated a desire to establish in Hat
tiesburg a school similar to the one
he has at Blue Mountain, believing,
as he says, that such a school would
be success from the beginning.
During Mr.. Browns last visit here
to attend the Mississippi Teachers as
sociation he discussed this matter
with parties in this city and gave as
surance that he would come here If
suitable arrangements can be made.

Getting Ready for a Crop.

Natchez, Mis1, May 6.-Notwith-
standing the fact that water continues
to flow through the Lake st. John Gre
vase, several planters here sent some
of their mules back to their places
which front the river in Concordia par
ish. Their places are out of water and
the mules are needed for working. The
planters are willing to take a chance
feeling they can send their stock out
of danger in event of another break in
the Fifth Louisiana Levee District.
The crevasse water is taking a north
erly course, is stationary in the east
ern part of Concordia, falling in the
central part and rising in the lower
part of Tensas and Coahuila parishes.
The bodies of the victims of the i'll
fated Concordia have not been recov-
cred. Nothing can be done in this di-
rection on account of the swift cur
rent Of the Tensas River.

witness. Barber, he charges knew
this.
Attorney Barber exhibited copies of
two letters from William Greenfio,
manager of the traction company, one
to Howard. In the letter to Howard
Greenflo stated that he understood
Howard was hurt in an accident and
suggested a meeting with an idea of a
compromise. The letter to Harrell
stated that Greenfo understood Har-
rell saw the accident in which the
girl was killed and asked for a con-
ference with him as to the facts.
Barber holds that these two letters
influenced him to the belief that How
ard had a genuine case against the
company and that Harrell was truly a
witness of the Ethel Schmidt accident.
Judge Barrett stated he hoped the
defense attorneys would be ready next
Monday to set the case for trial, as
he wanted the case tried during the
present term of court.
