States.

States.
One of the most picturesque and
noted landmarks that have turned
the pages of the history of Louisi-
ana, passed away this morning
when j. Madison Wells. governor
Of Louisiana in the days of recon-
struction, breathed his last. He
died at his old home at Lecompte
in Rapides parish at the ripe old
age of 81, having been born at that
place OH January 7tb, 1908.
Ex-Governor Wells served as
governor of this State for two
years or more, taking his seat in
1864 and was also upon the return
ing board, the result of whose
work helped to place President
Haynes in the chief executive
chair Of the United States. For
many years past he has lived in
retirement upon his extensive
plantation, but it was only last
month that be was in this city
with the intention of going on to
Washington to press a claim for
$500, 900 for cotton confiscated du-
ring the war, Senator McEnery
handling the claim.
He was the son of Samuel Levy
Wells, of South Carolina, and
Mary Elizabeth Calvit, of Adams
county, Mississippi. He was a
converted Catholic, being brought
into that religion by Bishop Du-
rieu, and some ten years ago ex-
pressed his desire that he should
be buried by that ecclesiast, 90
the members of his family are
awaiting word from him before
funeral arrangements are perfec-
ted. His remains will be inferred
in Pineville cemetery, near Alex
andria, La.
The former governor had eight
children, four sons and four daugh-
ters, all Of whom survive him and
all married save one of the latter.

Mr.. Bienvenu Roy and lady,

Mr.. Felix Bieuvenu, a mem
ber of the town council, having &C
cepted a position, as Chief Deputy
United States Marshal, in New
Orleans, where he is compelled to
remain almost constantly, we learn
has sent his resignation to Mayor
Liable, for the reason that he CAN
not attend the meetings of the
board of trustees. We believe he
has acted wisely, because in bis
present position he could not be
of any service to the constituency
who had elected him with a ma

dates.

Commencing Sunday the 18th
inst, the Greig Brass Band will
give public concerts on the church
square every other Sunday. This

for our people, and it seems to us
it would be a good idea to devise
some means to build a pretty lit
tie pavilion for the band, and to
procure some iron benches for the
green, where our people could go
and spend the evening, hearing the
good music of Prof. Greig's band.
We believe arrangement could be
made with the band to. have con-
certs every Sunday evening du-
ring the summer months, which
would prove a real treat for our
people.

Machines for Cotton Planters.

Our good friend NJ. NJ. Grady
sent us q sample of the cotton seed
meal and hulls produced by his
huller, cleaner and separator. The
hulls are clean Of lint and have
more meal in them than the oil
mill hulls. Therefore they will
make better cattle feed. The meal
is beautiful. 1t looks like Island
Desiard gold. 1t will make better
food and better fertilizer than oil
mill products. Mr.. Grady, at a
small expense, has provided his
plantation with q machine for
crushing and cleaning the seed.
The consequence is. he makes his
seed worth S12 or SIS per ton and
insures the continual enrichment
of his land. When we saw his
products, We again thought of
what we heard Edwark Atkinson
say at the Atlanta Exposition in
1891: He said if cotton would
grow in New England and the lint
was worth nothing, the Yankees
would get immensely wealthy rails
ing cotton for the seed alone. Mr..
Grady is determined to show that
he has as much intelligence as a
Yankee.-Bulletin.

A short time after the declara.
ton of war with Spain it was pro-
posed that first class bsttleship
to be called the American Boy
should be built with the pickels,
dimes and quarters of the school
children of the United States and
presented to the government.
From this fact no doubt sprang
the remarkable story which is now
going the rounds of the South
American papers. According to
these gullible journals the Ameri-
can Boy is to be the wonder of the
age and the terror of the navies of
the world. The description of the
projected battleship is simply
staggering. 1t is to be 1000 feet
long, with 2O7 feet beam and the
enormous displacement of $4,000
tons. Forty knots an hour is the
speed she is expected to develop.
Her guns are too numerous to
mention, but among them are four
15-inch monsters, while those of
the 12-inch and 10-inch class
mount up into the scores. The
armor-belt will be Sc inches thick,
backed by eight feet of asbestos
feltl Then she will carry $4,000
tons of smokeless coal; there will
be gymnasium in the cabin as
large as a small auditorium; she
will have ITO officers, and $500
men; and the cost of the compile
ted ship will be $4,000, ,0OOl-

sudden heavy body struck the tent.
and nearly carried away its fasteniugs.
Rushing out, we found Mike living there
unconscious, and bleeding profusely. A
mule, tethered to a tree hard by, stood
patient, passive, with head hung low
and dropping ears. We never for a mo-
ment suspected the mule Mike looked
as if he We're done for. We lifted him
gently, placed his head upon a. McClel-
