Editor of Th«> Banner: Pletfso lot nit* thank y u for ><>ar editorial in this morning's Banner under the above caption. It appeals to me not merely as timely, hut very imjx*rtant as w»Il. Why cannot some sort of concerted action he had looking to the entire abolishing of this “sensei* ss use of fireworks” at Christmas time? It is. we all know. a custom very gt Derail} observed throughout the South, yet custom for which not one word can he said in justification or in extenua tion. It is contrary to • very print-; pal of the Holy Season—the r inmem oration of the birth of the Prince of Peace. It would not. perhaps, be fair to th merchants to ask that an ordinanc he passed now prohibiting the use o: any and, all kinds of fireworks withn the city limits, hut what •'.ossible oa jectir n could there be to the passing of such an ordinance before another Christmas? Tf this is objected to btcause of tb pr fits accruing from tin* sale of such goods—and I understand they nr* enormous—why n:t let th* m be sol 1 for the Fourth of July instead? Much could be sai l in favor of the chang* —nothing. I think, against it. It would he more in keeping with flu spirit of tit-* day; there would be less of desecration: there would be fa* less danger of serious fires with little oi no ertton on the streets, and far less danger of pneumonia or other serious disorders from exjK>sure. So that fer every reason, but more espe cial! v the r -ligious one, let us do what may be necessary to put a stop to tills "i\; nsetesf. U'f of fireworks” at Christ mas time. 1 thank you for your e<li tori a 1 and hope that it may bear friut In helping to bring about a safe an 1 sane obs* rvanoe of the birthday of our Redeemer.

He criticised the annua! salary of President Roosevelt which lie put at tllu.OOO. He said he dhl not need 'lint sum to live on, "and I've got the president skinned a block in the mat ter of a family," he exclaimed.

Alderman Reginald Dotill presented an ordinance which while forbidding plays, operas, farces, ballets, minstrel snows dancing or other stage perform ances would permit vocal or instru mental concerts lectures, recitations and singing. While the ordinance was less liberal than had been expected, it provoked sharp debate. Rev. Francis Moran, D.

Testimonials could be printed by the thousands, many of them from Athens and nearby towns, saying that Hyomel absoultely cures all catarrh al troubles. The best proof of Its un usual curative powers is the guaran tee that H. R.

The amotmt.of courage and will pow er used by a strong, healthy man la getting out of bed to mow the front lawn has never beetjt successfully de termined, hut it is as nothing compar ed with the quantity and quality ot these forces required to make the same individual sift the ashes on a frosty morning. Electricity has done a thousand thing for ihe comfort, health and de velopment <>£ man, but no single do mestic application of the current -will he welcomed with keener delight bv the householder than the c-lectric ash sifter. No more the wrenchings of Ixme and muscle, no more the clouds of stilling dust; gene forever the haunting fe‘ar of asifes to be sifted. Electricity, which seems to delight in doing the drudgery of the homo,- has taken upon itself the additional task of sifting the hateful ashes. In the home of one of the General Electric Company's engineers in Lynn, Mass., is to tie found the first electri cal ash sifter. The machine is very simply ci nstructed. it is built on the revolving screen principle, being driv en by a standard belted 1-15 h. p. motor, and the cost of running the [ machine is very trifling. The outfit is located convenient to the furnace door and the coal bin. The ashes are dumped in a hopper, the machine starts and the unburned ecal falls into the bin at the right, while the waste tails into the ash can underneath. The lust is confined with a heavy canvas cover. The ash can is easily remov- d. Tlie electric ash sifter is simplicity itself, and does the work even better than the old "arm-strong machine." Boston.

The lower valley of the (Irande, for a distance of 100 miles inland from the gulf, is said by sugar cane experts to he the most favorable sjK>t in the I'nited States for the cul tivation of that plant. Owing to its extreme southern latitude, 400 miles south of the Ixmisinnn cane fields, the crop m iy develop fully without dan ger of forst. Planters in the lower Rio Grand** valley give their cane a full twelve months to mature, against eight or ten in fouisiana, where frost is always a menace later than October. The combined richness of the Texas soil, uneaqualed even in Cuba, and fav orable climatic conditions, place tho yield of this region above that of Hawaii. A planting of cane “joints” will yield in Texas profitably for eight years, against three years, at the ex treme*. in other cane growing sections of the I'nited Stotts. Texas has great plans for coming into the sugar market of the United States, and coming strong. Great plantations companies are being or ganized. and tho most extensive irriga tion works on this continent are under process of construction in the Rio Grande valley. Refineries are spring ing up there, and t he-com panics build ing them are offering every induce ment a.nd assistance to industrous men of small means to come in and begin producing cane*. The poor man’s chance lies down there today on the Texas frontier.
