10 TIL COUaIEs'S SUBSCRIBERS

The patrons of The COURIER
are urgently requested to settle MP
their accounts at their earliest
convenieiiCe. The past year has
been a tying one to every line Of
business and no class has felt the
financial depression more than the
newspaper fraternity. ThB Courier
has been obliged to wait this year
longer than usual on its delin-
qneIts, and now that the crops
ire being harvested and money
put in circulation we count on or
debtors to do the right thing by
us.

The Supreme Court Renders
Its Decision Which Is
Against Him.


Associate Justice Samuel D.
McEneFy, in tile case Of Willis
Edmnnds, rendered a decision last
Monday which destroys any hope
Willis may have had Of escaping
the punishment that the law lm-
poses for the crime he committed
Following is the syllabus
I'm charging an intent to murder il is
nos required to set ont the essential de-
scriptions of the crime of murder. Ii Is
sufficient that the intent be charged as
willfmlly, fsloniously and with malice
afofethouglit. Where the weapon used is
a club, ii describing its nae it is not open
TO objection that the indictments charges
an assault with it..
sssection 100 described two offenses.
The charging the same in separate counts
ID Che Indictment is not dnplieity. Where
the second o%fsnse, the attempt to per-
petuate, or in the perpetuatinn of
arson rape, etc, and the intent to
murder BY stahbing, thrusting ETC..
with a dangerous weapon, there can
be no reasonable objection TO a descrip
tioii Of tho offense by lying IN wait. The
two otfenses can be committed at the
same time by b act, aud are SO closely
allied that it may be necessary, to meet
the evidence, to describe the latter ofense
as having been committed while lying in
wait
when . statute forbids sevral acts
enumerated disjunctively and Furnishes
them alike their commission may usually
charged in Que couut.-Stnte VS.. Romns,

Mr.. Helaire Hebert has returned
from Mr.. L. s. Clarke's refinery,
st. Mary Parish, where he has
been employed during the grind
ing season as sugar maker. MI.
Hebert is looking we'll and brought
with him numerous samples of
sugar manufactured at that re-
tinery which can not be surpassed
in grain and quality. That Mr..
Hchert has given utmost satisfa ,
tion to his employer any one
who knows anything about sugar
can vbuch for by looking at the
sugar produced by this expert
ehced sugar boiler. Another proof
Of Mr.. Hebert's competency can
be demonstrated by the fact that
the position he filed with such
credit to himself nc the Clarke
refinery is open to him for another
season. The Clarke refinery uses
the diffusion process and it is
claimed lIat an extraction Of 90
and 2I5 pounds pee ton is obtain.
ed. Ii such is the case che diffu-
sion process is bound to triumph,
for in this ago Of huge central
factories where all are striving
to obtain the largest possible ex-
traction, the method that gives the
most satisfactory RESULTS must,
necessarily, be adopted by the pro-
gressiye TFfiner.
