Slavery Days Talks
to I). C. Convention
FORT WORTH, Tex Dec. 7 —An otrt-
fashioned black mammy of slavery days
Interrupted the Thursday session of the
convention of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy. While the morning ex-
ercises were in progress, a voice from
the rear of the assemblage was heard,
saying:
"Ladies, please, may I speak." The
presiding officer held up her hand for
BileMe. In a few minutes, however, there
earn®. another appeal.
"»ase, Missus, I Jes wants to tell yon
nil iump'n."
Tlf> pleader was an old negress, who
stood1 in the rear of the audience, beg-
ging to bo heard.
"Only for a little talk to de white
folk."
She w',is told to conic forward, and
soon stood facing the smiling crowd.
She declared she was a "Southerner; al-
ways had been uud always will be."
She said that "she loved de white folk
»nd had ntissed white chlllun all her
afe. She didn't know nuthln' else"—that
her "Marster and <>le Missus" were the
best, friends she ever had and if lior
Bkin was black, she looked on herself as
a "Daughter of the Confederacy."
The quaint old-time costume and evi-
dent emotion over memories of other days
added Interest, to her talk, and she was
given close attention. When she had
concluded her remarks she thanked the
ladies; turned to the rostrum, and drop-
ping an old-time negro courtesy, retired,
smiling proudly.

TELLS OF
C. A. Conn, Prospective Purchaser of
Katydid Culm Hank, Testifies to
Attempts to Sell Him Option.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec 7.-With
not more than one-fourth of the Senators
present most of the time, additional wit-
nesses In regard to the Katydid culm
dump deal were heard touay by the Sen-
ate sitUfK as a court of impeachment in
the trial of Judge Robert W. Archbald
of the commerce court. The deal in
which Edward J. Williams and Judgj
Archbald were Interested to buy the
Katydid bank from the Hillside Coal and
Iron Company furnished the basis for the
principal charge against the judge.
Charles A. Conn, prospective purchaser
of the batik, concluded in a few minutes
today his testimony al out the endeavors
to sell the William?-Archbald option on
the bank to him. The deposition of Wil-
liams, given months, ago to an agent of
the Department of Justice, was read to
the Senate "to contradict" testimony In
regard to Judge Archibald's part in the
deal, as told to the Senate by Williams
early in the week.
Richard Bradley of Scranton, Pa., an-
other prospective buyer, told of offering
$20,000 for tire option and of W. A. May,
an official of tlie Hillside Coal and Jron
Company, sending him a form of a con-
tract of sale just before the investigation
of Judgj Archbald's conduct became pub-
lic.
May testified it was hcause of compli-
cations as to title, but Bradley could not
remember that.
At $20,000, Bradley testified, he expected
to make a "little money" out of the culm
pile. Ho said ha did not know Williams
and Archbald were only paying $8,000 for
the property.
.The trial will continue Monday.

PlttS.
CHICAGO, Dec. 7,-Vlce President-
elect Thomas R. Marshall and former
Vice President Charles Warren Fair-
banks sat together tonight at a banquet
of Indialilans Who live in Chicago. Mr,
Fairbanks in a speech referred jocularly
to the recent Democratic victory and later
paid a high tribute to Vice President-
elect Marshall.
"1'ou would not recognize the old State
now were you to return to the haunts
once so fatnili&r to you," he said, "where
there was on.ce light and hope and faith
you will find the wreck and ruin of a
iioble party; gloom fills the air; our fair
fields are overcast with doubt and de-
spair; the sons of unrighteousness,
through one of those lriscrutlhle dis-
pensations of an overruling providence,
have captured the- citadel of your fath-
ers and now hold the high carnival in
til" seats of the mighty."
Later In his speech Mr. Fairbanks said
■ It is a matter for congratulation, if
wo leave, partisan politics aside, a dlffi
Hit matter. I grant you, for politics and
i literature are innate with us. It. is a
na iter for congratulation, I say, that tho
ii. .! Vice President of the United States
In be owe worthy of high distinction
olar, lawvef, statesman, we honor
. as sued, but beyond this we est"etn
i:is as a loyal personal friend, ft fine
type of Christian gentleman."

,4 selfish landlord, this message sent:
"Aaron you will have to pay more rent!"
Tiras an awful blow beneath the belt,
This taking away of his hard-earned gelt!
But saw it was useless to get real sore,
Because the greedy landlord demanded more.
So he cut the prices of his merchandise,
And began right away to advertise,
He's selling out his stock and going away,
He has RENT-EAT-US the people say.
-G. E.
I cannot put my clothes
in the street. My lease
expires January 21st
and I must dispose of this big stock I
have on hand at once—
Had the weather been favorable I would
have sold every suit and overcoat in the
house before now, but on account of weather
conditions / am now compelled to force
out the stock quickly.
