One of the S, P. painting gangs

the last few days engaged in re-
painting the depots and other
railroad property, thus giving a
fresh and clean appearance there
to. Now, that warm weather is
coming on and general cleaning
up is in order, our townspeople
should fall in line with the rail-
road, and, wherever needed, apply
the paint and whitewash brushes
to their buildings, fences, trees,
etc. Newly painted and we'll kept
premises cannot fail to impress
the stranger with the idea that
the people who own them are
thrifty and progressive, and be-
sides adding greatly to the ap-
pearences of property it enhances
the value thereof, and its good
effects are incaIculable from a
sanitary standpoint.
They have the correct idea in
Sabine parish. AT the last term
Of court the criminals were made
to pay the whole costs of criminal
proceedings. The Banner makes
the following remarkable state
ment:
sat this term of court there
was 1870 collected in fines, and
the cost of the court was less than
$1,000. This is the first time in
the history of the parish that the
cost of the court were less than
the fines collected. Since the
present Judge and District Attor-
ney we're installed, there have
been $2,700 collected in fines in
DeSoto parish, $2,100 in Sabine
and $4,000 in Vernon, making a
total of $1,000 for the three par
ishes." .s..

BAIL FOR CARTER REFUSED,
Federal Judge at LeavcnwOrth Denies
His ADpiicNtiOn.

Application of Oberln NJ. Carter to be adj
nitted to bail pending an appeal was denied
by Federal Judge Hook at Leavenworth
Kansas, yesterday.
He reviewed the action Of the court-mar-
tial sentencing Carter saying il had con-
current Jurisdiction with the federal court
In that act. Notwithstanding the affidavits
of two physicians that Carter Is about to
collapse from nervous strain and Is in
danger of becoming insane. he looked well.
Carriers attorney said no further action
will be taken except TO advance the APP
peal on the Supreme Court calendar.
Carter broke down and wept. The affi-
davit In part is as follows:
Il am innocent of the charges OF which
l was convicted. and believe that the matter
may be presented to the Supreme Court
of the United States that the court-martial
proceedings will be declared to be null and
void, but such declaration by the Supreme
Court and the consequent recovery of nv
liberty will not yindicate my honor nor
proclaim my Innocence to the world
The only way in which this may be es-
tablished is by pressing 10 a final hearing
the charges embraced In the indictment
found by the grand jury in the United
States district court for the district of
Georgia. and which cannot be tried because
Of my absence.
Many of the witnesses are old men. and
every days delay In the case increases the
chances of their demise. My father-in-law
Mr.. Westcott. is now seventy-five years
old. Despite what l am told of his state
ments elsewhere. / know that when on the
witness stand ne will not deny that the
funds l expended at Savannah In excess Of
my pay were provided by him.
Another witness Is General Craighill
nearly seventy years old. He is the only
living officer who WAS my commanding off,
Ger who knows how my work was done
from personal knowledge. resulting from in
spection and examination at the time that
the work was done.
He would testify. he did before the
court-martial. that my work was the most
successful and economical work OF its kind
in the world. and that l was entitled to all
the credit therefor.
Finally, my health has been seriously at
fected by the eighteen months of confine-
ment. II the Supreme Court should declare
that I am unlawfuly confined then surely
a wrong will have been wrought il my
health has been permitted to suffer by un-
lawful confinement.
The physicians added their testimony to
the effect that he was breaking down under
the strain. At the close Of the argument
Judge Hook denied the application. when
Carter was taken back to the federal
prison.

visions have been stated in The Star. as
wei! as the changes suggested therein by

clause in section .. beginning with line B.,
and insert in lieu thereof the following:
Every person violating any of the pro-
visions of this act shall, upon conviction
thereof be punished by fine Of not more
than $50 or by imprisonment for not more

a communication from Mr.. B. F. Meyers
relative to a building permit for the erection
of an apartment house at 1920 9th street.

thereof for private alley. deprives the
owner OF the adjoining lot Of the right to
erect a party wall. and thereby encroach
upon the contiguous space reserved for the
private alley. :! =! -.
