He reviewed the history Of public
printing legislation in this State and
| said it had always been done cheaper
under the public printer system than
| under the lowest bidder arrangement.
| Nash Bros. had come before the com
| mittee with their proposition. anI the
committee had decided against them.
Mr.. Council wanted to know if q 10
2-3 per cent reduction wouldn't save the
State some $4,000 or $4,000.
Mr. Hoey said that could not ne, as
| the whole cost of printing for two years
was only about $4,000.
This is no new precedent, this plan
, "f electing a public printer 1t is Demo
| cratic custom. The lowest4lGidder con-
tract is Fusion practice. and it has
| never failed to cost a bonus of upward
| $4,000.
"The contract fixed by this bill is the
| cheapest in any Southern State. If the
printers from these neighboring States
| can come here and bid, why don't they
do so in their own State. Either they
don't do so, or if they do their bids are
| not accepted
''If you let printing out to the lowest
bidder and the bid is lower than rlle
| work can he done for, then the bid will
| be padded and run up, so that in the
end you'll have it to pay for. This is
| a business proposition, made on business
| principles. The committee did rot con-
slider that the House wanted any job
| berry in this matter and it drew the DILL
| accordingly"
| The roll-call resulted in the adoption
Of Mr.. Justices lowest-bidder amend
ment by vote of SO to is.
| Those voting in the negative Were:
Messrs. Boushall, Brown, of Johnston;
| Foushee Gattis, Gillian, Hoey, Hol-
man, Maitland, Moore, Patterson, Of
| Robeson; Redding. Rountree. Suge-
| Wall, WEIGH, Willard Williams. of

| Thus amended the bin as passed on
its several readings.
| A companion bill to this was that TO
establish Bureau of Labor and Print
ing. 1t provided, as originally drawn.
for the election by the Legislature of Il

be paid out of the general fund.
This amendment was accepted by Mr..

A SENSATIONAL MURDER.
AJudge Taken From House by Mob
s and Shot.

A dispatch from New Orleans says
the killing Of Judge Brazil La Plaoe
was .onetUf{tho most sensational which
has taken plaoo in Louisiana in years.
The report in the vicinity is that a
young lady was involved. Her father
was connected with the plantation and
left there Wednesday sooking to take
his daughter with him. She escaped
from him and remained behind. About
10 O'clock at night somo one camo to
tho door and called for the judge. He
came out AID while walking down the
high stairway 10 tho road mob with
white masks suddenly rose around him,
seized him and pinioned his arms. Ho
was led some distance whom the crowd
halted, one man placed pistol to La
Places back and sent bullet through
his kidneys, killing him instantly. The
body was left in tho road. Rain fell
upon it during tho night and it was re-
scued from the mud by relatives who
wont up from New Orleans this morn
ing. These relatives aver that the
killing was political, but the woman
story is generally known and the mob's
action was based upon the fact that
Judge La Place is married man, his
family residing at La Place, few miles
away, namod aftor his distinguished
father. Judge Rost has called q meet
ing OF the grand jury Of tho parish for
Friday.

Kodaks for Lynchers.

An eastern newspaper, which has
Civ, profound study to the lynching
problem has at last found romedy
which it recommends with absolute CON
fidence.
This ingenious newspaper ia convinc-
cd that tho kodak is mightior than the
lynchor and that mob which would
defy the rifles Of sheriff and his depu-
ties might be easily put to flight by
snap shots. 1t therefore proposes
that all sheriffs and jailers in regions
whore lynohings are frequent shall be
armed with kodaks and that as soon az
Q mob attacks Jail or makes demand
for prisoner these terrible instruments
bo turned upon it. The effect, accord
ing to oul sanguine contemporary,
would be instantaneous and complete.

being shot, but the idea Of being kodak
cd would put him to hasty and hoadlong
