FAMOUS STAGE TEAMS WHO
 HAVE COME TO GRIEF

The death of Harry Vokes in Boston hos pital will recall to many theatre patrons the famous team of Ward and Vokes. They played together for years in America and abroad Hap Ward retired from the stage when he and Vokes separated and is said to be wealthy, but fate evidently dealt harshly with Harry Vokes. He was killed in an explosion at an oil plant in Everett, Mass, where he was employed pump tender.
 It is sad to think of this merry mimic, who made so many people laugh in the heyday of his fame dying in such circumstances. In the old musical comedy days at the Bijou theatre Ward and Vokes, and Mrs. Ward, who voke's sister, were great favorites with the playgoers of Birmingham. They also had a number of warm personal friends here.
 Of the comedy teams who have won fame on the American stage, most of them have been broken up either by the untimely death of one member or disagreements. The vet erans, Mcintyre and Heath, are conspicuous exception. They still playing together after more than 40 years of association and their friendship is apparently strong ever. Weber and Fields fell out and went their eral ways. Murray and Mack separated, although they have recently appeared together on the Pacific coast. Fred Stone lost his partner, Dave Montgomery, by death. One of the Rogers brothers died at the height of their success. Williams and Walker, the famous colored team, ended their career as co-stars when Walker died of tuberculosis and Williams who was even more successful after he lost his partner, died short time ago.
 There should be some assurance that men and women who have "made millions laugh" should not fall upon evil days, as so many of them do, when they have grown old and their popularity has waned. Whatever their faults may have been, when they die in the poor house the gutter the debt the world owes them is not cancelled.

1921 SWEET POTATOES ON
 THE 1922 MARKET

Birmingham green grocers advertise "kiln- dried sweet potatoes" This toothsome table luxury is available at a season when formerly 1t could not be obtained The sweet potatoes now on Morris avenue and in the groceries would have routed last fall early in the winter, had they not been placed in curing houses.
 Two or three years ago it was estimated that Alabama lost annually $12,000,000 worth of sweet potatoes because they routed before the market could absorb them. Then the potato house came into vogue and now potatoes are carried over to lats spring. In fact the cur ing house has made it possible to have them the year around A trial shipment of cured potatoes was sent to Great Britain with instruct tions for table use.
 It seems very simple after it has been done The lesson of diversifcation was learned only after repeated disasters following the one crop system.

surd It is also tragic, because the new rates on the affected roads run as high as 600 per cent above the old rates.
 Eutaw man paid $50 on car of mules and horses from Birmingham the day before the new rates went into effect, April 5, and paid $75 on similar shipment from the same point the next day. Gravel from nearby sand pits shipped to Mobile on the Mobile and Ohio which formerly had rate of $25 per car, now have one of $150 per car.
 The affected roads do not like it, because where other roads run parallel, they are losing business on account of the lower rates on the other roads. No one likes it. Traffic men and shippers have dubbed it the Chinese puzzle"
 Protests are already being heard and will become louder unless relief is granted.

IN MEMORY OF MAJOR BUTT

From the. Augusta Chronicle.
 The Augusta. camp of United Spanish American War veterans is named for Maj. Archibald w. Butt of Augusta who lost his life on the Titanic. Major Butt at the time was military aide to President William H. Taft He was returning from trip to Europe, and took passage on the ill-fated ocean palace, her maiden voyage going down with her.
 The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912 The Augusta camp of Spanish War Veterans, Camp Mo- 5, was organized on May IS following, and was named the Archibald w. Butt camp.
 Annually, since their organization, the camp has paid tribute to the memory of Major Butt. Since Augusta erected the Butt bridge, ded- eating it to the memory of Major Butt, this tribute by the Spanish-American veterans has taken the form of, on April 15, placing floral wreath on the bridge.
 This attenton during all the years, has been made by Camp No. 5 the duty of squad under Albert Markwalter, charter member of the camp He will tomorrow place wreath on the Butt Memrial bridge-a pretty attention of affection and esteem to Augustan who in life was well beloved and whose memory is held dear to all the community

MERIDIAN RATES CREATE A FREIGHT MUDDLE

WHAT PELLAGRA MEANS TO
 THE RURAL SOUTH

After being asleep for three years "Jim'' Esinger died in the Sebastian County hos ptal at Fort Smith, Ark. "Jm" and his fam fly had pelagra, disease which the proposed Gorgas school of sanitation will help to erad- cate, after it is established: They were taken on "Jims" little Arkansas farm brought on the disease. That is the explanation given in a newspaper dispatch, although doctors admit that they still don't know much about pelagra among the souths "poor whtes.''
 Mrs. Eslnger died and their three children recovered, but "Jim" fingered on for three ical science was tried without rousing him from his sleep. Last July he woke up long enough to mutter, q ain't where I was" but never spoke again.
 Life must have been hard on "Jim's" farm. It was barren struggle for existence, made worse by the blight of ignorance, which barred down to his few acres. Tragedies of this kind are occurring every day among the poor coun- try people of the south. What they need more than anything else is education, by which they will learn how to live. They know nothing of proper diet and nothing of hygiene, while their crude farming methods condemn them to incredible poverty. These people constitute problem which educators are trying to solve.
 If "Jim" Eslinger woke up somewhere in the spirit world he may have again muttered, q ain't where I was," and when we consider what kind of life he and his family led on their little farm in Arkansas, it is lucky for Jim" that he is not where he was.

NEGRO MUSIC AND JAZZ

From the Norfolk Leader-Dispatch.
 Negroes are initiative. They are mimics by nature. They ar eprone, however, to embel- fish. Their native music, usually monotonous sing-song, for all it's syncopated rythym lends itself admirably to this art. Being mimics, however, they have been quick to catch and adapt songs and melodies they have heard.
 Negroes in the south picked up Spanish, French and English melodies and then added their own embellishments. They ragged" them, singing them in their barbaric, synco pated rythm. That is why there are such haunting, familiar refrains in many ragtime songs from negro sources The initiative negro has simply picked up bits of folk-song, melo- dies that struck his tickle fancy, and adapted them These ragtime songs, being heard by white men, who did not recognize the original melody in it's syncopated form, were again taken over and adapted, sometimes with fear ful barbaric effects afterward denominated jazz.
 Whereupon, tinpan alley composers, recog nizng the method of changing familiar melo- dies into ragtime and jazz proceeded to utilize every theme that appealed to them, from Maid of Athens, the original of the much quoted New Bully" song, to the sextet in "Lucia," the "Che la Mort" of "Trovatore," "Ridi,' "Pagliacci," and other favorite gems from the operas.

NEGROES HELP AUBURN

"One of the gratifying features of the Greater Auburn campaign is the interest which the negroes of the state taking in it,, said State Chairman Charles F. DeBardeleben. "The State Teachers association in general session here this week, including representa- tives of negro schools throughout Alabama, took up collection in which several hundred participated and $50 was raised for Auburn in nickels dimes and pennies largely.
 "The principal of the negro school at Sip sey Mines asked permission to raise some money for Auburn and secured 5000, $100 of which he gave himself. He did this in appre- citation of the services Auburn is rendering 10 the state and in recognition of the assistance given Tuskegee and the negro farmers of Ala bama through the farm demonstration work of Alabama. These are only a few instances of how interested the negroes are in the success of this campaign"

THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH


 "No more deathp' This is one of the great truths of religion-so simply accepted yet so dimly realized There shall be no more tears, for God shall wipe them away; neither sorrow nor crying; neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are ended. So accustomed have we grown to these things, that it is difficult for us to visualize life without them, and yet difficult as it is we must do it--and we shall You mothers, who weep for your wandering children; you husbands and wives divided now for time; you parents who stand with bleeding hearts by the open grave of your first-born, you shall all learn to smile again, and life shall begin again just where it has seemed to end-and it shall shine with the beauty of which you have never dreamed. It is hard to realize perhaps-but it is true. The alternative $ a Power above us which laughs at broken hearts; Power which gave us life only to snatch it wantonly away. Though it is hard to believe in Eternal Life-to believe in eternal death is impossible And since eternity confronts us, it must be the one or the other.
 The mere fact that Eternal Life is mys- terious need not weaken our faith in it's existence. There are many mysteries which we know to be true. The woods are full of dogwood and honeysucse. The wild vio- lets are springing to life-and yet we them fade and die last year. We do not understand it-but we cannot deny it's truth. Last night the sun died in the west, but today we walk again in it's risen glory. If the flowers spring eternally new from the earth; if the sun forever rises in the dark ness, shall hope and love and life alone be buried forever? It is not reasonable-and because it is not reasonable, it is not true. God never made so precious a thing as human life merely to blot it out of existence at the very moment when it is learning how to live. This would be waste, and the God who wastes no energy, wastes no life.
 Though immortality may be mystery, it is not one-half so mysterious as life would be without it. There would be no answer to the problem of suffering innocence, nor to the equally difficult one of the prosper ous wicked. There are injustices in life which-here-are never righted. Unless they are righted wonder they are unjust forever, and God is either powerless or un- fair. There must be a life where right is inevitably rewarded and where wrong is justly judged. Unless this is true, there IS no such thing as justce there is no God; and we human beings are less than the grass that grows beneath our feet.
 Since I find it impossible to believe in these things, believe in loving God and endless life. And this does not mean that shall die-and after a long time-come to life again. It merely means that shall not die; that life merely continues and bright ems as it advances, and that when I pass beyond the veil which men call Death, shall come unto the Dawn of Paradise and the noon-day glory of Heaven-if I am worthy

IT oE. HUMILITY and Barney Baruch arc

IT OE, HUMILITY and Barney Barueh arc
 preparing to run the democratic party; " or someone else must go to the front. Humility was Woodrow Wilson's private secretary. Baruch was Wall street broker who hit the market right, made cords of money and ingratiated himself in the family circle of President Wilson When the former Presi- dent and Colonel House disagreed in Paris Baruch jumped into the vacancy and became the financial adviser of the then President. Baruch was younger, more liberal and more sportily inclined than Colonel House. Humility, an Irishman, and good fellow of wit, humor and ambition, took to Baruch. They became chums and when Mr. Wilson went out of the White House they became partners and opened law office in Washington
 They are practicing law and politics.
 
 Incidentally Joe Tumulty issued a book, first sold to the newspapers in serial form, and then printed in bound form, telling how he and Woodrow Wilson had been President of the United States for two terms and how they had conducted the affairs of the United States government. Joe, as secretary to the Presi- dent, gave Woodrow Wilson much credit for excellent work, until his health failed. Then Joe and Baruch were not amiss to accept some credit for wonderful advisory capacity.
 
 Following up the book Tumulty issued more or less of an ultimatun1 of views for Mr Wf son at the National Democratic club dinner in New York; and Woodrow Wilson came to life in statement that, as in the past in the future he preferred to express his own views, rather than have someone else speak for him.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT JOE HUMILITY
 AND BARNEY BARUCH AS LEADERS

In other words Woodrow Wilson let it be plainly known that he stood on his record as President of the United States for two terms and that no one was authorized to speak for him in the political futurity.
 
 Joe Tumulty is bright fellow-a politician to the quick His service in the White House sharpened his wits. He thinks he absorbed all the virtues, the skill and the statesmanlikc qualities of Woodrow Wilson, and knows how to avoid the weaknesses of the man Wilson. Like many private secretaries he really feels that he has become bigger man than was his boss.
 Tumulty therefore wants to be, and thinks he can be, the Mark Hanna of the future demo- cratic organization and party. Tumulty and Baruch seem determined to boss or bust the democratic organization of the future, and to do it by using the name of Woodrow Wilson and expressing his supposed views.
 
 Mr. Wilson may yet be an i'll man, and may live in more or less seclusion but his written words in his days of vigor will stand out as distinct and as different as his real messages to Congress were from that sent in with his name to it during his very serious illness.
 x <
 Joe Tumulty is a bright, clever fellow. Barney Baruch wears good clothes, is smooth of speech, well educated and is much of the old Richard Garfield type. But no political party, with hopes of governing this country are merely. shrewd and who for purposes of gaining power would swing upon the coat tails of men who have been great.
