MODERN AMERICAN SLAVES.
BY JOSEPH M. PIERCE.
Berea College Academy,


might have it more abundantly. "
John 1910.
Where Are These Slaves?
In the hills and valleys of Ap-
palachain America. l do not
mean by this that all of the ''peo-
pie in the Appalachains live in
abject poverty. Oh, no! there
are many of them just as wealthy
and many just as cultured and
progressive as their more fortu-
nate brothers living in the Blue
grass, or on the fertile plains of
the great West. AS one has
well expressed it, Many of these
people do not need your sympa-
thy, or mine" What l mean to
say is that in a great many of
these mountain communities there
are people who, through no fault
of theirs, must do more than
their share of hard work, and
receive less than their share of
the good things of life.
Mountains and rivers separate
them from their well-to-do
neighbors. frequently we see
whole communities, and some
times a great number of them,
thus isolated. In fact, the noun
tain sections of all the states are
rather sharply defined, being
separated from the more level
sections by great natural bar
riers. Behind these barriers
they build their humble homes,
and love, and laugh and toll, and
rear their children without edu-
cation.
Who Are They?
They are, most of them, of
Anglo-Saxon or Scotch Irish
blood, worthy descendants of the
pioneers who first settled on the
Atlantic seaboard, and who laid
the foundations of the Republic.
They are of the same stock as
the Pilgrim Fathers and the
Scotch Covenanters, of John Ad.
ans and Patrick Henry, Long
fellow and Bryant, Clay. Lincoln
George Rogers Clark and DanieI
Boone, William Mckinley and
Woodrow Wilson.
Why Are They Slaves?

scene. This woman, who was train

she had been forced to leave her pa
tient, an aged paralytic, in the hall
way near the elevator, since his help

for her to carry him out of the build

After two, of the firemen had made
unsuccessful attempts to rescue the
man, having been almost suffocated
in doing so, Sylvia, after tying a wet
handkerchief over his face, entered
the burning building, CROPPED his way
with the greatest difficulty to the
spot where the invalid was seated,

back toward the balcony. Several
times he almost lost consciousness

R0vERNMENT SHOULD.
own P0STOFF|CES TO
CUT DOWN OVERHEAD
First Assistant Bartlett
Shows the Way to
Economy
(By Associated Pressy

Washington, May 5.-Every post
office building in the country should
be owned by the government and the
old system of leasing buildings should
be "scrapped," declared First Assist
ant Postmaster General Bartlett to-
day in voiciig disapproval of sys-
tenn which made it necessary for the
.postoffice department recently to
lease at an annual rental of more
than a million dollars large struc-
ture for mail purposes in New York
city. Mr.. Bartlett said that the gov
ernment could save millions if a
common sense business program
could be laid before congress with a
fair chance of inducing that body to
appropriate sufficient sum each
year for purchase instead Of leasing
bnildings.
The postoffice department has suf-
ficient funds to lease any building
to be necessary to the proper con-
duct of the postal system, it was ex-
planned, but no appropriation is avail
able for the purchase Of structure.
Plans recently were completed pro-
viding that the department should
lease building in New York city
for twenty years at a rental of $25,-
100000. Had the department been
permitted by congress to purchase
land and erect its own building, the
whole transaction could have been
handled for about 100000, Mr.
bartlett explained, adding that al
.the end of the twenty-year period
,the government would have possess
led the building, whereas under the
:tease the government will be Out
;$25,000,000 and have nothing to show
flor it at the expiration of the lease
, "The whole system is radically
wrong and should be changed a
sonce," the assistant postmaster gen
eral said. each year congress
should set aside certain sum to b.
hlsed in the construction Of building
land gradually as leases expire al
over the country the department
awould find itself the possessor of 1
system of splendid structures. Thi
method would result in the saving o

.DElAND TELEPHONE
MAN WAROED VAIL
MEDAL FOR hERO|SM
Anthony Sylvia Saved a
Paralytic From Fire
in Putnam Inn

Anthony Benedict Sylvia, plant
man of the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, DeLand, Fla, has been
awarded citation and the Theodore
N. Vail medal for courageous and re-
sourceful action in rescuing help
less invalid from burning building
at the risk Of his own life.
Thirteen otherA Bell telephone en-
ployes of the South have been award
ed similar citations and the Vail me-
dial for unselfish deeds, courage and
resourcefulness in saving life, pro-
tecting property, restoring service
and for other conspicuous acts be-
yond the scope of their regular du-
ties.
To be awarded the Vail medal is
one of the highest honors Bell tel
ephone employee can win. The fund
for this purpose and the plan which
awards are made was established in
memory of the late Theodore N. Vail
and was largely contributed to by
Mrs. Vail in recognition of Mr.. Wallis
interest in perpetuating the fine ira
ditions of the Bell System.
The citation awarded Mr.. Sylvia is
as follows:
"On November 20, 1921, at $3.50 a
m. fire occurred at DeLand, Fla.
completely destroying Putnam Inn.
"He, with other members of the
volunteer fire department, responded
to the alarm and assisted in rescu
ing woman from the second flool
balcony shortly after reaching the

millions of dollars to the public. In
many instances the government is
made to pay exorbitant rent. For
instance, the department will lease
a building in small community for
ten years, and because of the postof-
flee site property in its vicinity will
increase in value, the population Of
the town may increase ten-fold, and
when the lease expires, the owners
of the property very frequently de-
mand about three or four times the
original rental and we are obliged to
pay it or look for some other prop
erty."

German Potatoes Are
Now Cheap in England

LONDON, Sept. 21.-Potato dump
ing is the latest accusation made
against Germany by tariff reformers
who for some time have been clam
oring for the imposition of higher
duties against imports from Ger
many. Not long ago British farmers
were getting from $50 to $50 a ton
for their potatoes. Now they find
them a drug in the market at prices
as low as $40.
'The explanation of this fall says
one authority, "is wholesale dumping
by German and Dutch growers. The
German government before and dur
ing the war, stimulated the growth
of potatoes in order to provide a
reserve of food and also for the dis
tillation of alcohol. This overplus
has been thrown on the British mar
ket. the only one which will admit it
without heavy duties, and it has been
sold for what it will fetch. AS re-
suit the unfortunate British farmer
is being reduced to something very
near despair, and in some cases is
refusing to market his crop"
