A New Industry.


A rev glass company has been or
gained in this city, and while the
names of the promoters are with
held, it is stated on good authority
that the company has good business
men and plenty of capital back of it.
Application for a charter has been
made and the name of the company
will be the Ohio Valley Glass Com
pany with a capital stock of $4,000,
and their object will be to manufac-
tire all kinds of ware. The company
expected to build their plant on the
old Buckeye Glass Co.'S ground, but
this site has almost been abandoned
and the company will most likely
build on the McCud property north
of the C.. L. & w. depot. 1t could not
be learned when the company will
start to erect their plant but ii is
thought it will be in the near future.
A new glass house will be of great
benefit to this city, and its citizens
will welcome it.

was raised and hurled at what
should have been the seat of his
reason; this, he fortunately dod-
ged, and the chair went crashing
against the opposite wall. The
proprietor of the hotel and a num-
Der of others rushed into the room,
and approaching only that rum
pus was on, took measures to stop
its progress, by protecting the
slanderer from other blows till he
could get out of the room.
Then naturally followed an in
quiry into the cause of the trou-
BILE. Upon learning the particu-

room of the culprit and told him
that his baggage would be put up

The rebuke was a just one and

bly, was the only argument the

hood could understand. If it has
not taught him to wag a civil tom
que, his lips may again bleed.

New Iberia Iberaian.
Last Sunday evening the smok-
ing room of one of our principal
hotels was thrown into confusion
by the abrupt and unexpected ter
mination of a general converse
ton. A number of men we're ga
thered around the stove, spinning
yarns and indulging in narratives
of personal "reminiscences. The
evening was wearing on pleasant
1y and ali was good humor.
Among the number congregated
in the smoking room was a repre-
sentative of Northern 6rm-pos-
sibly on his first mission South.
He took part in the confab and all
was pleasant till he vonchsafed
the information that the character
of no Southern woman would bear
investigation-or language to that
effect. Next to the stranger sat a
son of the South, who remember
ed mother and sister; and his in
digstion found manifestation in a
clenched fist, landing a powerful
blow upon the strangers unpro-
tected face.
The slanderer reeled, but caught
himself. A second blow found ite

Marriage and Divorce Laws.
Tines

Representative Taylor of Ohio
has introduced in Congress bill
which proposes to give that body
the power to enact uniform mar
riage and divorce laws. Represen-
tative Taylor illustrates the ne
cessity of some legislation in this
matter by calling attention to the
following case, which recently fell
under the observation: A man
married in New York and later
moved to Pennsylvania and secur-
ed divorce. He married a Sc
cond time in Pennsylvania and
moved to California. A divorce
from the Pennsylvania wife was
secured in California, followed by
third matrimonial venture in
that State. There he died, leav-
ing property in the three States
named. Because New York and
Pennsylvania did not recognize
the validity of the divorce obtain
ed in Pennsylvania and California,
respectively, three widows set up
dover interests in the property
and they were sustained. The
case, Mr.. Taylor continued, pre-
sented more objectional moral
phase or possibility. The man
could have gone into each of the
several States and, resuming re-
lations with his wives, practiced
practical polygamy without viola
ting the laws of the State in which
he might be.
Chairman Ray of the House
committee on the judiciary is in
accord with Mr.. Taylor, and fa-
vors an amendment to the Consti-
tuition, giving Congress full con-
troll over marriages and divorces.
with instruction to enact uniform
laws on this subject. II have for
many years favored an amendment
of this kind" Chairman Ray
writes, "but l do not know what
the fate of the proposition will be-"
1t can be said with certainty
that both the Taylor and Ray pro-
positions will be defeated. There
is a strong popular prejudice
against further amending our Fe-
deral Constitution, for the amend
ments already made have not been
fortunate, but have been the cause
of much trouble. There is an
equally strong prejudice against
giving further power to the Uni
ted States courts, which have no {
always utilized that power to the
benefit of the people. There seems
to be mania on the part of some
people to vote more power and
jurisdiction to the Federal judici-
airy. The President would give
them control over all criminal ca
ses where foreigners suffer, 30 as
to avoid complications like that
growing out of the Tallulsh Incl
dent Chairman Ray would give
them control over all matters af-
fecting marriage and divorce. III
all these various project be car
ried out there will be practically
nothing for the State courts to do. |
There can be no questions but
that our marriage and divorce laws |
are complicated, and that they
produce a great deal of trouble in |
consequence, as Mr.. Taylor shows.
They should be reformed; but the |
law associations have gone about |
correcting these defects in q far
better way than that proposed by
Messrs Ray and Taylor. The Bar

with a capital of $l5,OOO,0OO, half
of which it was claimed had been

"This rice combine seems to be

last night to a Times-Democrat
reporter. ut isn't doing any bust

"Isn't the combine buying rice?"
"No; not to any extent Oh, the
combine will buy rice if the grow

money, but great deal of the rice
which has been contracted for is
not taken at ALL"
wasn't the original plan to pay
spot cash for the rice at certain
fixed prices?"
YES"
"And that isn't being doneP"
1T is not"
"WhyY"
Because there is no money in
the hands of the rice combine to
pay for the rice"
"How about the $7,500,000
which was paid IMP"

of the rice planters signed con-
tracts with the company to sell
their rice at certain fixed prices

That was q good arrangement on
its face, for the combine offered
fancy prices and promised to pay
cash down. Nearly all of the
planters have had to meet notes
and they depended upon the new
to pay them for their
rice and let them meet their notes,

they could. They had to have
