mox" is going too far. Tennessee and
Virginia have gone wrong. They
have forsaken the dishes of their fore
fathers and become enamoured of lat
ter day denominations put up in paste
board boxes and tin cans. They are
beyond hope. Let them alone while
they fill their interiors with wasp

shucks and such like provender. It
is no use arguing with them
Next thing we know they will be
denying the edibility of RED chicken
and saying that Mallard duck isn't
fit to eat; that gumbo is a myth;
squirrels are not edible; that there is

had been made during his illness, he
was delighted
That's fine" he said with a chuckle,
Il wonder what some of those people
who said | couldn't make pictures talk
will have to say for themselves now"
Like all inventors he is most earn
estly interested in his latest achieve
ment. He has spent eighteen and
twenty hours day working at the
minor details of the Kenetophone,
slowly and painstakingly perfecting
the delicate contrivances which make
possible the union of pictures and
voices.
AT the time that the invention was
first perfected and demonstrated, Edi-
son was as tickled with it as a small
boy with brand new baseball. A
casual visitor who did not know his
tremendous capacity for work would
never have dreamed that the man who
was laughing so heartily at the jokes
that were being sprung by the char
acters on the screen had expanded the
energy of two or three ordinary NOR
tails in making the jokes possible.
The success of the Talking Pictures
in the leading cities of the country
have been little short of phenomenal. |
Everywhere they are playing to crowd |
ed houses and the interest which they |
have aroused more than justifies the |
of the inventor
A complete performance of these
marvellous Talking Pictures, including
drama, comedy, vaudeville, minstrel
shows and other interesting num-
bers will be shown at the Auditorium
on Monday and Tuesday, Dec. Sth
and 9th.

curing the consent of living members
of the Alcott family to transferring
Little Women" to the stage were
many. 1t was only after many argu-
ments that one of Miss Alcott's
nephews, who himself had been a
character in the story was convinced
that nothing offensive would result
from reproducing Little Women"
The play is in four acts and two
scenes, showing the March sitting
room, and the Plumfield apple orchard
at harvest time. The interior set will
be replica Of the Alcott living room,
in which the play practically was
lived. Many of the identical proper
ties and costumes used by the March
girls in their homemade plays will be
used in the production, especially JOS
boots, in which she played the heroes
and villains, and which "she got from
a lady who had friend who knew an
actor" The costumes will be in the
fashion of the early eos and the pro-
duction is planned to reflect the closest
fidelity to the spirid and period of
Miss Alcott's story.

HERE is RANK HERESY.

few weeks ago some misanthrope
on the Memphis Commercial-Appeal
editorialized to the effect that pos
Gums were not eaten by the regular
Southerners, but only eaten verbally
by the professional or near-Southern-
ers who frequent the public places
of entertainment of the North and
around Washington, but the writer
| forgot that the professional South
erner never eats. He always imbibes,
if it is free.
Now, this heresy about the folks
back home and the 'possums was met
with an indignant denial from Dlo
to Huspuckena in Mississippi, and
from Tuscaloosa to Luverne in the
Yaller Hammer state.
The consensus of the chorus was
that 'possums were not only eaten at
every opportunity, but yearned for
between times; and that yam potatoes
were the only proper setting for
well baked 'possum-including of
course, plenty of gravy. This much
is settled, and we thought the voice of
the rural South had spoken, but the
Richmond Times Dispatch enters into
the game and has this to say:
President Wilson grows bigger
daily. Having had 'possum wished
on him from some. lummox in Missis-
sippi, who wanted to get rid of the
beast, Woodrow did not pretend to eat
the only American marsupial,' but
sent it to the Zoo. 'Possums are
about as fit to eat as cotton-cake."
1t is bad enough to deny funda-
mental fact, but to call self-sacri-
fcing and self-denying patriot who
deprives himself of a fine, fat full
grown 'possum for the good of the
head of this glorious nation '1um-

"LION AND THE MOUSE"

That well known PLY THE Lion and
the Mouse" presented at the Ditman
theater last night by the United Play
Co., was extremely well presented. Many
indeed, thought this was in all respects
the most satisfactory acted performance
ever staged in Brownsville. The story is
well known to all novel readers, and
more than likely many of those who at
tended last night have seen THE Lion
and the Mouse presented in tn etheaters
in the cities. However, it is doubtful if
they ever saw it better acted.
The company travelling under the dir
cction Of the United Play Co. of Chicago
is comprised of a number of actors of such
capabilities as are not seen often in
towns the size of Brownsville. Among
these might be named Orrin Il. Burke.
who played John Burkett Ryder, the mil
l~ionaire capitalist, Eugene Burkett Ry-
der. the millionaire capitalist, Eugene
Dautell as Jefferson Ryder, the capital
lists son. Miss Gertrude Ritchie as Shir-
ley ROssmOrc, the principal character,
and Arthur Werner as Hon. FitzrOy Bag
ley.
The crowd was lighter than that of
Tuesday night, but none the less appre-
%ciativc. Miss Richie was applauded
several times, and Eugene Dautell also
vas the recipient of liberal applause.

RAILROAD TO GROWERS
SAYSrNO INTENTION ON PART>O OF
ST. L. b. & VI. TO DEMAND PRE-
PAYMENT.

Having learned that a mass meeting
is contemplated by truck growers at
San Benito to condemn a proposition
said to have been under consideration
by the st. Louis, Brownsville and Mex
leo railroad to demand prepayment of
freight charges on vegetables through to
destination, s. $. Butler of the Frisco
lines at Houston has issued the following
message to the shippers and others of
the Valley who are interested. The
statement is approved by B. L. Winchell,
president of the Frisco lines.
"HOustOn, Tex, Feb. 20, 1913. To the
Vegetable Growers in the Rio Grande
Valley and all others interested:
We understand that it has been
stated that the st. Louis, Brownsville
and Mexico railway proposed to demand
prepayment of freight charges oil vege-
table shipments. This is not correct.
On the 18th of this month we were no.
tified that certain Of our connections had
demanded prepayment of freight charges
through Ito destination and since then
others have taken similar action. This
they have the right to do.
"On receipt of this information we
asked the officers of the growers asso-
citation if such a plan might not be to
their advantage, and upon receipt re-
ceived reply in the negative. and i'm
mcdiately notified them that we would
not require prepayment undess the de-
mandS of connecting lines forced us to
take such action. The situation does
not require or Justify any mass meeting
10 condemn this company's policy toward
the growers Of the Valley, but if such
meeting is held. we will be present"

impression having been gained from the
fact that customs inspectors are at all
times alert to neutrality violations, and
are therefore always on the lookout for
