| Gov. Foster promised us all we coul,
reasonably ask, a pardon for Abbott wher
two members OF the pardoning board
should recommend the same, OF which
we can have no manner OF doubt.
A visit to the state prison to see our
unfortunate brother was next in order
and as we stood beneath the grim and
| frowning walls of this state reformatory.
our heart grew heavy with the thought OF
the great burden of human misery and
sorrow enclosed within it's shadow.
Capt. T. E. Willis, the warden, and
Captain Bates, the book keeper accorded
us the utmost courtesy, and ushered us
INTO the vast open court, where many OF
the prisoners were at work or sitting
around in detected attitude.
Mr.. Abbott was summoned and we met

ABBOTT'S FRIENDS
AT WORK

Mr. Abbott's friends, and many friends
OF white supremacy and manhood have
not relaxed their efforts in his interest
one iota. Some of them have taken tho
matte rup and are welding powerful in
flonce in his favor. Last weeks isse Of
Marksville New Enterprise, Iberville
South and Bunkie Blade contained arti
cles which, we believe, would have made
our people think. The one in New Inter
prise, from the pen of the associate edi
tor, Mrs T. T. Fields, a woman of refine
meut and culture, was BEAUTIFUL in ssnti
ment, and rather an appeal to the ladies':
for-she rightfully says-Mr. Abbott,s
present, terrible situation is due to his
gallantry towards young lady. The

RINGLING BROTHERS CIRCUS
The Parade a stupendous One Of
Gold and Glitter.

When we say that the Ringing
Brothers great circus parade favor
ed our city with one of its free ex-
hibitions to its performance, was
gorgeous, grand and stupendous,
we are telling only what we believe
to be true, for in all of our life we
have never seen a finer one than
the one passing over our streets
today.
The horses were all tat and in
good condition, the trappings that
covered them were of the best ma
terial and fine mounting in the
buckles and ornaments, the uni
forming of the men aud drivers
were new and up-to-date.
The vans were painted by mas
ters of historical happenings and
showed up well,
There was a troop of elephants,
some pulling heavy artillery, while
others were carrying men. Then
came troop of Arabs mounted on
camels, followed by United States
Mounted band leading troop OF
Uncle Sans Mounted HussarS.
The procession had in it twenty
lady equestrians and if the re-
porters eyes did not deceive him,
they were all comely looking dam
sells.
The procession contained five
good bands, chariot of chimes, a
steam piano and a $3.50 clown band
playing under the name of So and
So Band.
When we say that Ringing Bros,
show has reached the acme of sue
success in giving one of the very
best parades, which follows their
show will be ahead Of all others,
we only say what we know to be
true.
Only one exhibition was given
here and many of those who could
not get off from their work had to
put with the parade only.
The circus will leave here for
Clarksville, Texas.

The real depth of the sea can now,
by the means of the ingenious instru-
ments devised for the purpose, be as
certained with a reasonable degree of
certainty. 1t has been thus shown
that the Baltic, between, Sweden and
Norway, is 125 feet deep; the Adriatic,
between Venice and Trieste, 100; the
English Channel, 5000; the Irish Sea,
in the southwestern part, 1000; the
Mediterranean, east of Gibraltar
300; off the coast Of Spain, 5000; by
the Cape of Good Hope, Is, 800.
The basins of the southern hemi-
spere dip and rise alternately from
the equator toward the poles, causing
very unequal depths of water. Cap
tain Ross famous experiment in this
way is probably familiar to all. By
throwing over q heavy weight to
which a small line was attached, he
succeeded in penetrating q 900 feet,
when the weight broke off without
touching the bottom. tits well known,
however, that greater oceanic depths
than this, have, OF late years, been
reached and even during the explora-
ton O. the Gulf Stream under Maury,
soundings OF the ocean were made to
the depth of "a 200 feet, or more than
six statute miles-A vast depth, in
deed, and greater, it may be said, than
the elevation of any mountain above
the surface.

The wreckage company engaged
under Lieut.. Hobson in the work of
saving the wrecked Spanish warships
has succeeded in floating the cruiser
Infanta Maria Thresa. The cruiser,
after being got afoat, was taken in
tow by the Potomac, and conveyed
by the cruiser Newark, the Scorpion
and the Alvardo, proceeded for Guam
tanamo Bay. The successful issue of
the attempt to float her was greeted
with the blowing of whistles, the fir
ing of national salutes and by cheers,
in which the Cubans joined.
S Off Sibony the barometer and the
wind indicated the approach of a hur-
ricane, and the towing power was in
creased.
The Newark, under Capt. Goodrich,
rendered valuable assistance in the
work of saving this fine naval acqui
sition. The cruiser is being put in

HEROES IN POLITICS

After the Revolution, the country
made Washington-its great general
President for eight years. 1t would
have made him President for life if he
had PERMITTED.
Andrew Jacksonville hero of New
Orleans-was made President for
eight years because of his military
achievements in the war of 1912.
In 1910 the country recognized the
military service of William FL. Harri
son by electing him President.
Eight years latter it honored Zach
airy Taylor in the same way, because
of his proves in Mexico, and in spite
of his peculiar lack Of fitness for civ
il.
In the next election two Generals
of the Mexican War-Pierce and Scott
were the candidates and one of them
was elected.
The Republican party began its ca
reer by nominating the soldier Free
mont.
When the civil war was over there
was no man could stand up against
the military hero Grant.
Hayes who followed him, was also a
General. So was Garfield. So was
Benjamin Harrison.
But who ever heard even a sugges-
ton that we should make any one of
our great naval heroes President? AS
man born abroad Paul Jones was in
eligible, but why was there never any
talk of the elder Porter, of Decatur, of
Hull, Of Perry, of Farragut, of Dahl
gren, or any Of the rest as a peculiar
ly "available'' candidate Why does
not proves in the navy count for as
much as proves in the army.
We hear talk of Roosevelt for Gov
ernor and even for President. There
has been a passing mention of Dewey
as Presidential possibility GER
tainly he has shown statesmanlike
qualities and is easily the first hero of
the war in the popular mind. But
neither Sampson or Schley has been
even mentioned for high civil office.
The greatest glory in two of our
wars has been won by the men of the
navy. Why has it never yet been re-
cognized by even SO much as nom
nation for high political place.
An explanation would cast very in
teresting light upon the operations of
the American mind as reflected in pol
itics.-NeW York World.

Speaking of sleeping customs, the
Japanese fashions are quite different
from ours. When night comes the
bedding is brought out from the closet
where it has been put away during
the day. One or two large, thick flu
tons or cushions are spread directly
on the mats of the bedrooms, and COW
erings which look like enormous XII
mono Or clothes are spread over them.
Every traveller has told of the pillow
made OF a wooden box with a little
cylindrical cushion on the top. But
this kind of pillow has gone out of
fashion. Softer cylindrical pillows,
made by stuffing cloth bag with
husks of buckWheat, are now more
commonly used. In the summer it is
necessary to have mosquito nets,
which generally inclose the whole
room. AS a rule, Japanese families
retire early Ten O'Clock is about the
average time. Eleven is considered
late. A function that begins at or
10 O'Clock and lasts till the small hours
of the morning fairly staggers the
Japanese. "Why," they say, ''even
ghosts, who are CONNIE il fault, retire
by that hour"
