of Coburn's Ministries, which will be

Monday night:
"Coburn's Minstrels, as staged by
Charles Gano, starring Mr.. Gano in
the comedy section of the show, held
the boards on the Lexington Opera
House Wednesday afternoon and
night and gave a good account OF
itself.
''The MINISTRIES come this year IN
brand new dress with competent
aggregation of singers and enough
comedy to keep the house with the
boys throughout.
''The jokes were snappy and had
the additional merit of being clean
and up-todate, while the dancing
and musical contingent were up to
the Coburn standard.
A noteworthy feature of real eX-
cellence in the Coburn outfit this
year is the harmonious singing OF
the sextete that is superior to Gus
tomary minstrel organization IN this
respect.
'The offering is handled through
out with veteran skill and is, upon
the whole, 'corking' good show"

WRITES PAGEANT
ON KING COTTON
Designed To Inform The
Public Of One-Crop
Evil

ATLANTA, Dec. 3. - DR.. j. H.
Pearce. president of Brenau college
at Gainesville, and exc of the best
known educators in the South, has
achieved success as a playwright.
King Cotton" an allegorical page
ant in three acts, is the latest pro-
duct of his pen. Presented recent
ly at Brenau auditorium, the page
ant attracted unusual attention and
the fame of the author has spread
to all parts of the country. DR.. Pearce
has copyrighted his manuscript and
all rights of production and adoption
to moving pictures is reserved
"Auothorities seem to be agreed
that the greatest evil in agriculture
of the South is the disposition on the
part of the planters to produce only
a single CROP" says the foreword
This evil has developed as a result of
the so-called tenant system" under
which the landowners instead of OPP
Grating their own farms, lease them
in small sections to tenants who are
required to pay rent in cotton. In
addition, the landlord usually fur
nishes the tenant his provisions or
stands his security with the merchant,
and in the fall requires payment in
cotton or cash.
consequently the tenant plants
all his land in cotton as other pro-
duce is not so easily marketed. The
consequence is that there is, fire.
quently an over production of cot
ton which results in a very low price
of cotton.
"The Boil Weevil is the great pest
of the cotton crop, destroying an
nually thousands of acres resulting
in loss to the South of millions of
dollars. Authorities agree that the
only successful method of checking
the boil weevil is to reduce the acre.
age of cotton and plant corn, pes
nuts and other grains and grasses
in other words to supplant the single
crop system by system of diversifi-
cation, which was in vogue in the
early days of the country.
''The pageant king Cotton is de-
singned to present these facts in allie
gorical form.
Both Single Crop and rDiversifi-
cation WOO Princess Prosperity, who
is threatened by the monster Boil
Weevil Diversification finally Stays
the monster and wins the Princess
Tenant System is sentenced to death
by the King and Single Crop is ban
ished from the kingdom forever"
The cast Of characters includes
twenty nine persons. The Bull, the
Bear, Uncle Sam, and various for
eign countries are personified, with
many attendants.
The dances of the pageant include
the dance of planters, shoppers, pick
ers and the weavers.
The pageant is so arranged that it
may be presented either on a stage
or in any open place such as school
campus. Theatrical men and NOV
ing picture producers are already in
corresponce with DIR. Pearce looking
to future productions of his pageant
in America and foreign countries.
