Mr.. Thomas Bate, editor of the
Graphic, Texarkana, Arkansas, has
found what he believes to be the best
remedy in existence for the fux. His
experience is well worth remembering.
He says: "Last summer / had IA very
severe attack of hux. I tried almost
every known remedy, non giving re-
lief. Chamberlain's Collie Cholera and
DiarrhGa Remedy was recommended
to me. | purchased a bottle and re-
ceived almost Immediate relief. /

entirely cured. | take pleasure in

The decision of Chief Justice Sir
Frederick Jeune, of the London Court
of Probate and Divorce, that a minis
ter OF the Church of England can be
compelled TO reveal on the witness
stand confessions made to him in con-
fidence by Ills p~arishioners, has occa-
stoned considerable commentin church
circles on this side of the Atlantic,
and especially in the Catholic Church
at Washington. Bishop keaue, of the
Catholic University, said:
Il have read the announcement of
Justice Jeune's decision, and, if it has
been correctly reported, it is certainly
contrary rot only to common Usage,
but to all similar decisions of which |
have ever heard in courts of law.
With the growth of civilization there
have grown up certain customs which
have been by common consent consid-
cred sacred. The custom in question
is one of these. Civilization has de-
clared that the condolences of the o
fessiOnal are sacred, and when a court
of law lifts its hand and says that this
shall not be so, it says that the civili-
cation of the age cannot make any
regulation which the law Is bound to
respect. Civilization and the law
ought to go hand in hand, but they
have not done SO in this case, and |
should say that the decision of Justice
Jeune, if we have it reported correctly,
certainly cannot stand. l know that
this question has been raised in the
United States once to my certain
knowledge, and | think twice-both
times i'll the State of New York. The
matter was carried to the Supreme
Court of the State, where the decision
was that a priest could not be COM
PEELED to divulge the secrets confided
to him in the sacred confidence of the
confessional. 1t this had not been so,
there must have ceased to be any such
thing as a sacred confidence in c%iviliz-
ed society. 1t is my opinion that a
decision so directly contrary to all
precedent and to common sense can
not stand"

The success of Mrs. Annie NJ. Beam,

treatment of diarrhea in her children
will undoubtedly be of interest to
many mothers. She says: Il spent

band being employed there. We had
several children with US, Two of whom
took the diarrh9a very badly. I got
some of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera

In spite of the almost continuous
rains of last Saturday and Sunday at
Labadieville, the fair given under the
old E. Hebert grove for the benefit of
the St. Philomena's Church, brought
in some $4,000, leaving some 1925. 90
net profit, this is not bad considering
the fact that those who attended Sun
day evening. some three hundred
strong, had to wade ankle deep in
mud and water.
In order to make a reasonable pro-
fit to meet the demands of the church,
a continuation of the same fair has
been postponed to some undecided
date in September coming.

~WEATHER.CR0P BULLETIN.

FOR H WEE ENDING AUG. 7th, '93
Average temperature and sunshine.
and we'll distributed rains have made
tue week just past an exceptionally
good ole for all growing crops, and
reports from crop correspondents show
them TO be iii a more sanguine mood
than for weeks.
The cotton crop shows some i'm
%provement since last week, although
boil worms have made their appear
ance in great numbers in many por-
tons of the State, chiefly in the north
western parishes where they are play
ing havoc, and, unless they are check
ed within the next few weeks tile crop
in that section Will be a failure. In
many portions of the State cotton
bolls are opening rapidly and picking
will begin within the next week or
two.
The rains during the week have
proven a boon to the young rice crop.
The rice is not very promising, but
cutting will begin in a few days if the
weather is suitable.
F%lattering reports are received of
the cane clop,but IL confirmation of
the rains would be of great benefit.
The corn crop generally is a success,
and in many localities is matured. In
some of the northern parishes the hign
winds have injured the crop, and a
few correspondents report worms, but
to no great extent.
Tie rains of the week at selected
stations We're as follows: Alexandria
3.45; Amite 23S; Brookhaven ISL;

already assumed beautiful proper

story containing four large rooms,
and a small veranda, each, with a

make of it his habitation. This will

The rains have been plentiful this

The rains have been plentiful this
week, and the sugar and rice crops Of
this parish have been greatly improv-
ed by them. 1t is to be regretted that
the rains have in some locality been
accompanied by some rather strong
winds which badly blew down some
of the cane and rice, especially where
the a Il and rice were taller than in
other localities. The cane in these
places will have time to partially re-
cover if no more wirds occur, but this
is not likely to happen with the rice
that is blown down-it is likely to
remain in that position ; and if too
much rain occurs it is liable to he
very badly damaged.

Relative to this report of Mr.. Bow
mans it is asserted that he has been try
ing to befog the committee, as the figures
given by him do not in some instances
correspond to the amounts claimed by
the sub-contracuors, there being, it is al
legged, little discrepancy of $40, 900 in
the case of Houlahan, Griffith & Morris
alone. Parties who know something
near the amount to which Mr.. Bowman
is indebted to these gentlemen, said that
his figures were barely third of the real
amount.
A reporter started out to hunt Mr..
Griffith, but when found he did not have
the figures with him. Upon being told
OF the amount Bowman claimed
to be indebted to the firm, he
said: 81 am very sorry l have
not the exact figures here to give you, as
| would like to see the true status of the
case given in THE HERALD tomorrow
morning. l should not be inclined to ap-
proximate his Indebtedness to us, as
when the figures are given / want them
to be correct. But you can say that his
statement is nowhere near the real
AMOUNT
Mr.. Griffith was considerably exercised
over the matter, as he had not heard be-
fore what Mr.. Bowman claimed to Ee
the amount of his indebtedness to them.
He said he would make out an exact
statement, 30 the pubic can see the
truth of the matter and how things have
been going.
It is also said that Bowman s represen-
tation of his Indebtedness to other SUBJ
contractors falls considerably short of the
actual amounts, which altogether COM
plicates the situation very badly. The
committee will have some unraveling to
do in the near future. They have been
endeavoring for month or more to find
out just where they are at, and some of
them have about reached the conclusion
that Bowman has been attempting to
hoodwink them. It is alleged that g. true
statement will show that the liabilities on
sub-contracts are greater than the ten
per cent. retained by the committee, and
they are anxious to straighten out the
tangle, when, it is intimated, Bowman
will be dropped.
In the meantime work is progressing at
satisfactory rate, and the walls are 60
ing up rapidly. 1t is expected that the
building will be under roof within sixty
days.
