Trespass On State Lands.
SENTINEL.
[Attakapas Register.

lA1tuh0P"S
Writs of sequesration were taken
out some days ago by District Attorney
Merchant, in ti'e name of the State,
against persons charged with cutting
down and removing for sale timber
on lands belonging to the State, and
several seizures have been made by
Deputy Sheriff TelOtte under those
WritS.
There is a large amount of swamp
lands lying on the bayous and lakes
north of this place, which is still the
property of the State. During the
past ten years many thousand dollars
worth of timber has been cut and re-
without any intervention by the of
firials of the State in its interest. 1t
is now the purpose of District Attor-
icy Merchant to protect the rights of
the State in the courts by both civil
and criminal prosecutions. He will
proceed under section 8l9 of Revised
Statues which provides as follows:
Whoever shall cut down, or destroy, or
remove for sale, the timber on any land be-
IFnglng TO the otate, Shall upon cohNlctlon
be condemned to pay fine of not less than
fifty, nor more than one thousand dollars,
and in default of the same be sentenced to
Imprisonment not less than ten days nor
more than one year.
Wood cutters should govern them
selves accordingly.
The action of District Attorney
Merchant has given rise to some feel
ing, because it is thought to involve
innocent third parties or purchasers
of the timber. Railroad ties and
wood have come under the Sheriff's
hand, and the warning has given an
impetus to the purchase of State wood
lands,

city; and the old veterans there
established are destined to witness a
lively season. The trial of Franks
has resulted in nothing to the disad-
vantage of Marshal Douglas, SO far
as is known TO the public and the
scores of North Carolina "native
born patriots who came hero antici-
pating a vacancy which they could
have been induced to fill, are preparing
to return to their homes, disgusted
with an administration that leaves
carpet-baggers" in office to their
exclusion.
The spirit of revolt manifested at
the Des Moines convention, has un-
doubtedly had depressing effect in
administration circles, which even the
cordiality of the Presidents New
England reception can not wholly
Tighten.
While the late order of the Presi-
dent, forbidding the active participa
ton in political contests of Federal
officials, has had little appreciable
effect here, it can not be ignored that
it is producing very unsatisfactory
s!ate of feeling in the Republican or
ganizasion elsewhere. 1t is reported
to have alienated some prominent
supporters of the administration,
while the Democratic leaders have
made use of every concession to them,
to strengthen and solidify their own
party. The spirit animating them
appears to favor speaking a good
word for the President, just so far as
he favors them at the expense of his
own party, but not one inch farther;
aud it begins to be felt even among
the most sanguine that the exorbitant
price demanded for Democratic sup
port would bankrupt the administra-
ton in six months.

WASHINGTON, II. L., July a, 1917.
EDITOR CHIEF:
AS usual in this city of Federal
Office holders, the proper observance
of the day we celebrate " has been
left to the cunning devices of the
boys, who never fail to do it up in
royal style, inaugurating its advent
at midnight by burst of instrumental
music OH the universally admired tin
toot-horn, followed up at irregular
intervals during the day by discharges
from old muskets and crackers,
and terminating gloriously just before
bed time by grand illumination with
the pin wheel, the Roman candle and
the fiery serpent. Harper's Ferry is
the point of attraction for long train
of excursionists, while the Potomac
river boats convey large parties to
the Maryland and Virginia capes,
Fortress Monroe, Piney Point, Point
Lookout, Mount Vernon and Meralls
Hall. Other parties go By eanahand
Cumberland, or take their baskets of
dry and liquid refreshments to points
on the several railroad lines divcrging
from the city, or utilize the groves
lying within easy distance of the ter
mini OF the various lines of horse rail
roads. So that the city is left in
undisputed possession of the young
sters who have made every needed
preparation to burn the town and
blow up with gun powder an uncer-
tain number of the participants in to-
days fun.
The political tramps who accumu-
lated here in such overwhelming
numbers during the Presidents East
ern visit, have all learned the way to
the Presidential retreat at the Soldiers
Home, about two miles north of the

Gov. Nichols should take early
steps to secure the return to the State
of the marble statue of Washington,
which Louisiana paid over $50, 600
for in Italy which was removed from
the State capital at Baton Rouge by
the Federal authorities, and taken by
them to Washington City. They also
carried off the valuable State Library,
with the paintings of Louisiana's great
naturalist. Audubon. The President,
who is scholar and a mau of taste,
would be prompt, we presume, to
answer favorably an application for
the return of these artistic and literary
treasures TO their original owner, the

ison Journal of the 3rd inst. says:
The Pete Carter tragedy is fresh in
the minds of many of our readers.
Some months ago one Pete Carter, a
negro we'll known in this community
and generally regarded as u wicked
and mean character, pade an attempt
to kill his wife. He used razor, the
characteristic weapon of his class, and
Inflicted severe, and everybody
supposed, fatal wound. DR.. l.. w.
Gilland, a physician of this place,
was called in. The woman appeared
to be expiring at the time, and nobody
supposed she would live five minutes.
An examination showed the knife had
penetrated the throat to a consider
able depth, dividing the wind pipe,
esophagus, an artery and two veins.
These important and vital parts be-
ing divided the woman had to be fed
by artificial means, by which process
she was D0urished for six weeks. The
wound is now healed with the excep-
ton of the opening in the trachea
through which she breathes, and
which will be permanent. The esoph-
agns, or food passage, has grown to-
gether and she is now able to eat her
usual meals. The skill used by Doc
tor Gilland in this case it seems to us
stands unparalleled.

THE FARMERS WIFE.

The farmer came in from the field one day
His languid step and his weary way,
His bended brow, his sincwy hand,
All showed his work for the good of the land
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mOws,
All for the good of the land.
By the kitchen fire stood his patient wife,
Light OF his home and joy of lis life,
With face all aglOw, and busy hand,
Preparing the meal for her husbands band,
For she must boil,
And she must broil,
And she must toll
All for the good of the home.
The bright sun shines when the farmer goes
out;
The birds sing sweet songs lambs frisk about;
The brook babbles softly in the glen
While he works so bravely for the good of
men;
For he sows,
And he mows,
And he hoes,
All for the good of the land.
How briskly the wife steps about within,
The dishes to wash, the milk to skim;
The fire goes out, the flies buzz about;
For the dear ones at home, her heart is kept
stout;
There are pies to make,
There is bread to bake,
And steps to take,
All for the sake of home.
When the day is Ger, and the evening is
come,
The creatures are fed, the milking is done,
He takes his rest meath the old shade tree,
From the labor of the land his thoughts are
free,
Though he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
He rests from the work of the land.
But the faithful wife, from sun to sun,
Takes her burden up that's never done :
There is no rest, there is no play,
For the good of her home she must work
away
For to mend the frock,
And to knit the sock,
And the cradle to rock,
All for the good of the home.
When autumn is here, with its chilling blast,
The farmer gathers his crop ut last;
His barns are full, his fields are bare;
For the good of the land he ne'er hath care,
While it blows,
Aud it SHOWS,
Till winter goes,
He rests from the work of the land.
But the willing wife, till life's closing day.
Is the children's guide, the husbands stay :;
From day TO day she has done her best,
Until death alone can give her rest
For after the test.
Comes the rest,
With the blest,
In the Fathers heavenly home.

in receipt of reports from Secretaries OF
Subordinate Oranges on Masters blanks,
and of reports to the Master, which
makes it necessary to reiterate that Sec
retaries of Subordinate Oranges are re-
quired to make their reports on blanks
as heretofore prepared, and forward them
to the Secretary of Pomona Grange.
Secretaries can obtain their blanks by
calling on our purchasing agent at An
derson, or from the Secretary of Pomona
Grange. Masters of Subordinate Grang-
es can obtain their blanks from the same
parties, and are required to report quar-
terly to the Master Of P. G. P. II. This
report is necessary to give him informa-
tion of the internal working order OF the
Oranges, and from which he makes up
quarterly report to the Master Of the
State Grange. If the Masters of Subor-
dinate Oranges prove remiss in this duty,
the Master Of Pomona Grange cannot be
faithful in the discharge of his duty to
the State Grange.
Secretaries of Subordinate Oranges
will please bear in mind that the third
quarter will close before the expiration
of another week. when your reports for
that term will be due.
