OUR NEIGHBoRs.
Editor Demecrat-Star
Brother Dnprey. we think lie is too soon,
He is not in good standing, for he will not
commune.
Brother Willis is a riddle.
He goes to balls and plays the fiddle;
He goes to horse races to see them run,
He does not bet money, but has lots of
fun.
Brother Fred Webb, in spite of Brother
Creel,
Went down 10 Ben Williams and played
them reel.
Brother Ellis Overstrect talks very sweet
When he meets mau he thinks he can
cheat;
He will point at his mustang and speak
very candid,
There is Jim Noble. he moves with the
world,
He has ten children, and nine OF them
girls
His eldest girl is married, to man that
is true,
She but Que child, and that girl too
Jim Is about forty, and his wife thirty
four,
So | think there is chance for five or six
more.
Brother Debro, he loves gin,
And the way he drinks it is a sin;
Brother Debro's tongue is hard to control.
May the Lord save his gin drinking soul.
l hope no one will be offended, for wish
them all well,
May the Lord save the people that on Fort
Bayou dwell.

ORIGINAL PACkaGE LAW.

The effect of the decision OF The
Supreme Court on many minds
will be to put an end TO much con-
fusion which the first "original
package" decision and the subse-
quent "original package" act of
Congress had created Says tho
Washington Post: ''In the first de-
clsion made by The court it was
held that the law of The State
could not prohibit the sale within
its bounds of liquor which had
been brought from another State,
if sold in the original packages,
because the exercise of such a
power would be in coniravention
of The interstate commerce pro
vision of the Constitution. Acting
upon The courts suggestion Con-
gress, in the exercise of its right TO
regulate commerce between the
States, passed an act placing in ef-
feet The prohibition of the intro
duction and sale OF all inioxicants
within tie power Of the State.
Immediately on The passing of
the aci, two contentious arose
one. that the new law was uncon-
slituiional in thai it abridged the
freedom Of trade between the
States; and the other, that The
State prohlbitory law was null and
void, and would so continue to be,
until re enacted, since it had been
declared unconstitutional in the
first "origlnal package" decision.
In lis last decision the court
negatives both these positions. 1t
affirms the power of Congress 10
50 regulate inter slate trade as 10
allow certain property imported
from another State 10 fall within
local jurisdiction, and so declares
the validity Of the act of Congress.
AT tie sane time, il maintains
The court never pronounced The
State law unconstitutional and
therefore void, but il only held lis
operation in regard 10 certain i'm
ports as repngndni tn c0nslitn-
tional provision and therefore in
effective So far as these were con-
cerned. Through The action of
Congress, the Stale law, always
operative in regard 10 other prop
erty, became Immediately opera
tive in regard 10 these imports also,
and. thus, the re-e1actmeni Of the
Stale law is wholly uncalled Tor"

port of my paper" said the editor,
aud the young lady went away
happy. She went home and next
morning told her father that she
had his campaign well started and
insisted, with laughing eyes, that
he must not rpcede bit from the
pledge he had made A lew days
later, when MIR. Walleroon in an
editorial announced hat Mr.. John
Young Brown had consented to
be IA candidate tor Governor and
that his nomination. would be Il
wise one, ali Kentucky Democrats
took it up As an official declaration.
Mr.. Wattersun kept his promise
and supposed Mr.. Brown. There is
no evidence that The latter showed
any diSpo ,ition to withdraw from
his position. AT any rate he did
not do SO. He accepted the situa-
ZION.
His daughter was as happy as
the day is long, and sled to the
natural course Of events and her
fathers popularity to bring him
the nomination. The Democrats
did their part of the story and
secured good candidate for Coy
ernor aud probably made one
young lady happier than .he ever
was in her life before when they
dominated John Young Brown last
Friday afternoon.

In the London Gazette for March,

effect that black boy of about titteen
wears of age, named John White, ran
awav from Col Kirke on the 18th inst.
"He has silver collar about his neck
upon which is the colonels coat-ot-
arms and cipher. He has upon his
throat great scar" etc. A reward Is
offered for bringing him back.
In the Daily Post of August 4, 1920, 1s
a similar notice: "Went away the 22d

That Make Music.
Among the extravagances attributed
to American women is brass bedstead
inlaid with real pearls. Across the top
rail the owners name is wrought In
pearls.
Recently bedstead made of gold and
silver, inlaid with precious stones, has
been discovered in cave between Bey-
rout and Damascus, bearing an inscrlp'
ton declaring that it once belonged TO
Eleanor, queen of England.
In point of costliness this can not
compare with the historical cradle or
dered by Napoleon for his son, the king
of Rome, upon which all the resources
of French art were employed, the de-
sign being prepared by Prudhomme.
In the Paris exhibition gorgeous
| bedstead was to be seen which had been
constructed at cost of $4,000 &c
| the order of an Indian prince.
The canopy was supported by four
automatic figures, costumed in the ma
tional dresses of Spain, Italy, France
and Greese, who moved their eyes an6
| waved fans to cool the air. The mat
tress was a gigantic musical box, which
played a series of operatic airs whel
anyone lay down upon it. This con

only throw her into a state of agitation
and suspense worse than she Is now

So he went away, my hero, my mar
tyr, giving me the last clasp was ever
to feel of his strong hand, the last
kindly look from his dark eyes, the
last tender words his lips ever uttered
for me.
One letter, only one, he wrote to me.
He found Charles Lathrope in house
deserted by everybody but little
negro boy, lying dangerously i'll with
| smallpox. Before he entered the house
himself he wrote to me, warning me
he should not dare to write to me from
there.
'sBut If brothers devotion, a brothers care,
will save the life OF the man Alma loves, Dc
| sure he shall have them"
So he wrote. Weary days followed
without one word of tidings. Then
came a telegram from Charles La
thrope:
II am recovering. Mr.. Owen has takes the
smallpox. Is very ILL.,"
Later he told me that the physician
took this and some other kilograms for
him. but would not let him send let
ter.
It was after Christmas when he came
home and to Startled.
II owe my life to a stranger" he told
me: ssand not until he was dying did he
tell me the motive that led him to St.
Louis to nurse me back to life. 1t was
the most peaceful, beautiful death l
ever imagined, and must have been the
end of a sinless, unselfish life. Not
