Capital Punishment a Crim..

When the idea of revenge is elm
mated from our habits Of thought
with regard to criminals, capital
punishment will be esteemed an &C.
Of brutality which no community
would think Of permitting. When
We come to clearly understand that
the worse criminal Q man is the
more it is our duty to deluge him
with moral sympathy and help, the
more clearly We shall see that the
main motive for capital punishment
is revenge, because, as I have
already said, an execution is neither
. warning to possible criminals nor
. protection to society.
On the contrary, it unquestiona-
bly, tends to brutalize the minds Of
the people and familiarize them
with the thought Of killing. As
long as the State employs persons
for the express purpose Of murder
ing men, those who are not officially
and paid for it will al,
engage in the business. for

Responsibility Of Minors.
iTimes.D eunocrat, I

i Ab040DsA>0sOstCBWtsv
In Division f, Of the Civil Dis
ttict Court, Judge VOORHEES, rem
dered the following decision in the
case Of r. Larrouq vs.. Mande, set
ting forth the responsibility Of mi
n0rs:
The evidence Is conflicting, but it
sufficiently establishes that plaintiff
was acquainted with defendants mi
nor son, aged seventeen, and to
whom he had previously hired .
horse and buggy; that on this occa-
sion the horse and buggy were
hired by plaintiff to the minor to
take q ride to West End, instead of
which the minor drove first to Span
ish Fort and afterward to West End
in the same evening, overdriving the
horse and causing its death within
. few hours.
The responsibility Of the father in
this circumstance is governed by c..
C. Article 1915 (2294), 2317 (2276),
1918 (2297), under the title of "Of-
lenses and Quasi Offenses. Even
had the child been guilty Of an Of
Tense the fathers vicarious resp0n-
sibility would be only in the nature
Of q quasi offense, not having him
self participated in the commission
of the Offense.
The doctrine Of contrlbutOry neg
ligence is not admitted in matters
Of 0ffense; but it is essentially SO
in matters Of quasi offe,,se. The
plaintiff in this case has been guilty |
at least Of negligence in hiring . |
horse and buggy to . minor, with
whom he knew he had no right to |
contract. The father has the right |
to complain Of plaintiffs act; and |
had an injury been sustained by the |
minor, instead Of being inflicted ON
the horse, the contract in question,
far from being . means of defense
to the lessor, would be his condemns
ton.
Plaintiff and defendant are both
at fault in this matter-the former
by his own volition; the latter
through negligence, - well defined
in law. The present action, there
fore, sounding in damages for .
quasi offense, fails through the con-
negligence Of the injured
party.
Plaintiffs suit dismissed with
costs.

the influenza epidemic in Paris, that
ladies and gentlemen very partial
to alcohol escaped, while those
leading temperate lives were the
worst sufferers. Physicians, no
ticing this, Immediately advised the
use Of warm alcoholic drinks, with
the result that 1900 persons were
recently arrested in the streets
within three days for drunkenness.
OF this number 1900 declared that

Take Good Care Of Yourself.

As to this epidemic Of induenzs
and pneumonia, the time has come
when word Of warning and advice
is called for.
The increased death rate makes it
plain that unusual caution should be
exercised. It is not necessary
to be in the slightest degree
alarmed, however, for II you
are careful instead Of careless there
is no reason why you should not
preserve your regular measure Of
health.
We have fallen into q winter sea-
son which seems to be treacherous,
and must accommodate ourselves
to our environment. That is the
long and the short of the whole
story.
We have become somewhat ener-
waited and mentally downcast by the
persistent fog, drizzle and abnormal
heat. We are wearing thick under
clothing and heavy overcoats, and
at the same time having spring
weather. It is natural, but danger
Gus to throw our overcoats aside,
and when heated to stand in . cool
draught. All that is criminally
thoughtless, for it is better to bear
q degree Of discomfort than to
catch the ''grippe"
There are some rules which it is
imperative to observe.
First-Don't run even the usual
risks Of open windows or shirt
sleeves or Of carrying your over
coat on your arm.
SecOnd-If you catch cold attend
70 it at once. Better . voluntary day
IF than . compulsory fortnight with
} physician.
Third-Possess your soul in patti |
.nce, take daily exercise and don't |
borrow any more trouble than is
necessary to your personal happi-
less. !
These mind cure people say that
( you are in constant dread of .
lisease you thereby become predis-
'osed to it. Every physician will
orroborate the statement, and it is
rorth thinking about in such times

An Unjust Law.


The law which compels the At

and our legislature should remedy

EDITOR ST. TAxMAxr FARXER:
For the past week we have had
most sultry weather; but yesterday
Old Boreas gave US most welcome
rain, and this morning he bowed
his horns from the Northwest, and
our denizens had to put on their
winter clothes.
For q week the boys have been
catching croakers.
Our stores are all doing . good
business, and are all well stocked,
especially our "Observer." The
''Whistle" is mute, but the ''Pig"
is getting fat.
In my items of the I'd inst,
which were mislaid, I referred to
the visit of Superintendent Of Pub
lie Education Max. Cousin, whom
I accompanied first to the colored
school of w. w. johnson. He has
under his care ~ scholars. Hon
ora5le mention was given to A.
Holiday and H. jenkins. At the
white school, under charge Of C.
Hestrez, honorable mention was
awarded to Chas. Band, son of our
esteemed "Observer," and to Geo.
Saaron, little urchin only seven
years of age, who showed the most
proficiency in mathematics.
What about that proposed rail-
road to our town? Are Messrs. p.
& F., Of the E. L. r. r., and my
friend p. G. suffering from inau-
enza!
Our hotels are still slumbering.
The noble steamer New Camelia, |
our ''Old tar" as captain, is still |
doing good work. She is as regu-
lar as the sun, but her Sunday ex-
cursions are . dead loss to her.
The Taxpayers Of our town would
like to hear from our City Council.
The cutters are Overgrown with
weeds, and the breakwaters are non
plus. The town is annoyed every
night by a gang Of boisterous boys.
Where is Marshal Smith? Can't
he put q stop to it?
1t is our painful duty to record
he death Of another native of our
parish. Miss Lucinda +. Sharp, ut

LET US vEACANNlNG FACTORY

We have repeatedly stated that .
canning factory would pay in Gov.
ingtOn, and there il no doubt about
it. Wherever they have been es-
tablished, they have proved paying
investments from the start. The
demand for canned goods is con-
stantly increasing, both for home
consumption and shipment to for
eign markets, and there is no dam
ger Of there ever being an over
supply. All kinds Of vegetables
grow profusely here, the only diff
Guilty in the way Of their extensive
cultivation being that there is no
market for them. A canning fac
tory would obviate this, and create
an immediate demand, at good pay
ing prices, for all the vegetables
that could be raised for many miles
around. Take the one item of to
matOes, for instance. No country
can beat this in the size and yield
Of tomatoes, and canned tomatoes
is staple article Of commerce. Sta
tistics show that the worlds supply
of canned tomatoes is nearly SOC, 900
boxes short of last year, hence they
are in good demand at fair prices,
and will continue so. But there is q
product of the tomato that is rapid
ly gaining favor all over the world,
and is crowding the most favored
sauces from the table. We refer to
catsup. American tomato catsup
is now being exported to all quar-
tiers Of the globe, and the demand
for it far exceeds the supply. In
the business of canning tomatoes
and making catsup there is no
waste, as the tomatoes cannot be
too ripe for this purpose, whereas
this is . frequent cause Of great loss
in shipping them in their raw state
to distant points. The conditions
are all favorable for the establish
ment Of such an industry in Coving-
ton, and now is the time to prepare
Tor it. Once q factory is started
here, and earns the reputation OF
turning out superior article Of
omato catsup, and the fortune Of
IS owners Is assured. Besides, .
canning factory would give EN-
'loyment to many who must now
emain idle or 60 away from home
o seek work, and also foster and
encourage the great and growing
Of truck farming, which is
he most profitable Of all branches
