"A recent writer in the Chicago Ad-
vance packs i great deal Of truth
into this observation: "Righteous
indig nation does not bring ready
money in the market. A reformer
should no! be man with many bills
to meet" More's the pity that this
is SO, but it is fact that has to be
reckoned with many attempt to up
lift society. The man who is COM
PEELED to earn his bread and butter
for himself and family by the'sweat
of his brow, dependent upon the
good will of those about him cannot
afford to arouse their passions or
their prejudices. And this is just
what every reformer is surely going
to do. Wendell Phillips and Charles
Sumner did magnificent work for
human freedom in the long war
against slavery. But then, neither of
them had any fear of poverty be-
fore their eyes. The fact that they
had wealth enabled them to 60 forth
and suffer the approbium and con-
tempt OF those whose sel(-interest
was wrapped up in that which they
fought. Reformcrs should be we'll
heelcd. As a prominent public man
has said, "a poor mans first duty is
towards his family. The rich man
owes his to the State"

manager of the Louisiana and Texas
long distance telephone company
here has just returned from New Or
leans, to which place he went to
complete arrangements to place a
new telephone system throughout
Louisiana. The new telephone system
will be the Long Distance Telephone
Co., of America, and will begin at
once building exchanges in Crowley,
Raync, Gueydan, Franklin and Jean
erette. The mapping out and
estimates for lumber. and switch
boards, for these different places will

OF the company to cover the whole
state with new system, and give to
all alike good liberal uniform
service and charging no one more
than anolber, but serving all alike.
The toll rates will also be cheap and
uniform. Telephones arc to be
placed in every place of business,
and public places without rental
charges, charging only when the
telephone il used, which will he two
cents for exchange limits. The
company promises to revolut;onize
the telephone system here in Louisi-

George Dolby, formerly private secre-

died on Wednesday of last week, and at
the inquest on Saturday it was stated
that he was insured for $4,000 in favor

income, but was supplied with Money

the London News, and was turned from

sums of money in the past. A distant

sure that Dolby's enthusiasm and SAN

his early grave. When first those IA

OLIVE OIL
To BE Made From Peanuts Is Il New
Virginia Industry.

Washington Times.
You say you do not want me to talk
politics, said eX-Gov. Charles T. O'Fer-
rell, of Virginia, at the Rale:eh last
night, so l will tell you something on
the great peanut industry that is being
developed i'll Virginia. The acreage in
this crop for the coming season promises
to be the largest in the history of the
state. This is due to the fact that in the
past year the farmers have received bet
ter prices for the product and the de-
mand is constantly increasing. 1t has
recently been discovered that the oil from
the peanut is equal to the olive oil i'm
ported from Sunny Italy Already en-
terpriSes are being established for de-
VeIop1ng this industry. In few years
the Americans will be able to manufac-
ture their own olive OIL only it will be
peanut oil. After the oil has been press
ed from the nut the meal that remains
mas been found to be useful for MANY
purposes, and furnishes one of tha most
nutritious kinds of food that can be fed
to stock of all kinds The hull Of thes
nut, so it is claimed, is now being ex
perimented with for the purpose of re-
ducing it to paper pulp. This promises to
meet with success. The high price of
white paper at the present time and the
decrease In cur forests will certainly, if
the plan Of reducing the peanut she'll to
q pulp should be successful tend to make
the old Virginia 'goober staple arti
Gle of commerce. So you see we don't
need gold mines in Virginia We are go
ing to depend upon the peanut to bring
