ADVISES GINNERS
TO USE BUCKSHOT
Farmer Recalls Days OF Radicalism
When Negroes Burned Gins.

10 the Ecditor of The Advertisers:
1t is said that history repeats itself
every 30 or 100 years, but | did not
know before that crime also did
Reading IN the papers Of gin houses
being burned brings to mind condi-
ton of things in the country about 30
years ago when had just attained
young manhood. The leaders of the
radical party in the South had melted
| the ignorant negroes to burn the gin
mcr masters, in rCycngcful spirit for
imagined injuries. a great many gin
houses were burned and the owners
either slept in them or hired some
honest and faithful negro to do so.
The difference now is that it is
some low down, cowardly scamp with
white skin who is doing it or making
his threats to do so. They ought to
be ferreted out and prosecuted to the
fullest extent OF the law. And IL
there is no law that reaches them,
public opinion ought to make one
strong enough to force them to leave
the community, put the lashes on
their backs or hang them to a limb.
These may appear to be harsh words.
They are meant to be for as have

young manhood and brings to mind
an event that came very near being
a tragedy, with myself as principal
actor.

KING ALEXANDER
DIES OF WOUNDS
Death Of Greek King Result OF Bite OF
Pet Monkey Early in Month. Con.
ilitiOn Critical for Several DAYS.

Greece died at 500 D. m. today. His
death was due to wounds received
when a pet monkey attacked him early
in October, the king being badly mutt
lated.
Throughout last night the heart ac-
ton grew weaker, his general debility
became more pronounced and puimon-
airy symptoms were intense Breath
ing at times was most difficult and
alarming, and at noon today it was
announced that the kings condition
waA hopeless.
King Alexander was born Aug. /,
1898.
Alexander succeeded to the throne
Of Greece in June. 1917, when his
father, King Constantine. abdicated
in response to the demand OF France,
Great Britain and Russia, the three
powers which had guaranteed the
constitutional liberties of the Greek
people. Alexander was the second
son of Constantine and at the time
Of his accession was not quite "a
years old His eldest brother, Crown
Prince George, was considered ineligi-
BILE for the throne because OF alleged
proGerman sympathies.
In any event, King Constantine
nominated Alexander to succeed him.
The fall of Constantine had been
brought about through the agency of
the French senator, NJ. Jonart, who
went to Athens in June, 1917 as a
representative of the three great pow
ers, on the ground that this step
would establish unity Of feeling
among the Greeks and greater securi-
ty for the Entente forces then opcrat-
ing in the East. Constantine had
been accused of pro-German sympa-
thies partly on account OF his mar
(')Tagc to the Princess Sophie, sister OF
the then Emperor William OF Ger
many, and it also was charged that
he had not acted honorably toward
the Allies. Alexander, on the other
hand. was reported to be free from
pro-German procivities.
Constantine left Athens and took
up his residence III Switzerland
Alexander took the oath of office at
Athens in August, 1917, and promised
to carry out the policy Of his father.
THIS was said to have shocked the
Entente powers It soon was reported
that he was at odds with Premier

Mr.. Ben A. Sullivan, ST., who was
painfully injured when knocked down
about ten days ago by an automobile
driven by Mr. A. C. Todd, was able to
be on the streets again Saturday.
Though still suffering from pains
about the body especially in his right
arm, he is able to be about his work
again. Fortunately Mr.. Todd was
driving very slowly when the acci-
dent occurred or the injuries might
have been more serious, as one OF the
front wheels ran entirely over Mr..
Sullivan's body.

NURSE is CALLED.
BUT CARDINAL
GIBBONS NOT I'LL

BALTIMORE, Md, December Is.
The sending of a nurse yester-
day to attend Cardinal Gibbons,
who has been resting at the home
of Robert T. Shriver. at Union
Mills, Nd, for the last ten days. led
to reports that the cardinal was
seriously ill. These were denied
today by the cardinals physician
and at the episcopal residence.
The doctor said that the cardinal
was suffering from fatigue caused
by overtaxed strength. He rs Or
ganically sound, the physician
said. adding that he expected the
cardinal to return to Baltimore
within a few days.
Members of the Shriver family
said last night that the cardinal
felt much better yesterday than
he has for several days. AT no
time. it was said. has his condition
been such that he was forced to
remain in bed throughout day.
Several times within recent
months the cardinal has suffered
slight attacks of weakness. which.
while moinentary, naturally caused
anxiety owing to his ADVANCED age
eighty six years. Members of his
! house attributed tlaese attacks to
cold and too close attention TO
diocesan affairs.

HOLIDAYS
FOR ]. s. EMPLOYEES
District Workers Also May
Be Released at Noon De-
cember "a and 81.

Employees of the government de-
partments and probably those of the
District government will be released
at noon December "a and 81.
An order was issued today by the
executive heads of the government
departments authorizing half holi-
day for all government employees the
day before Christmas and New Year.
It was understood the matter was
discussed at the cabinet meeting yes
terday and that at the solicitation of
partment the President instructed the
heads of departments to release their
employees at noon December "a and
81. Christmas day and New Year
day are legal holidays and all de-
partments are closed on those days.
The District Commissioners are ex-
pected to issue an order releasing en-
noon on the same days. as the
municipal government usually follows
the action of the executive depart-
ments in such cases.
For several years it has been the
custom of the government depart
ceding Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Year 1t was understood this
would be the case last Thanksgiving.
but on the morning of the day pre-
ceding Thanksgiving an order was
issued from the White House direct
ing heads Of the departments to close
at the regular hour that day. and not
to release employees unless such time
was taken from annual leave or leave
without pay. This order was issued, it
is understood, because work in two
OF the departments was so pressing
employees could not be spared at that
time.

government and employees OF the gov
ernment navy yards, proving grounds
and military establishments have a
