CHAPTER w.

The Red Flag of the A~uctioneer-
The excitement through which Tom Camp
had passed in the death Of his daughter.
and the stirring events connected with II
had been more than his feeble body could
endure. He had been stricken with parox-
ysms OF pain and nausea from his old
wounds. For three days and nights he had
suffered unspeakable agonies. He had borne
his pain with stoical indifference. There
was a PARKWAY look In his eyes.
Tom, old man. do look at me! You skeer
me-" said his wife. leaning tenderly over
him.
We'll. don't talk any more now. You're
too weak"
Il must git up. Annie. Got to git out
anyhow. The sherif's soin' to sell us out
to-day and I want to sorter look round
once before we 60"
So leaning on his wifs's arm. he hobbled
around the place. saying good-by to its
familiar objects. They stopped before the
garden gate.
Don't go in there. Tom. I can't stand
It," cried his wife. when / think Of leav-
in that garden I've worked SO hard on all
these years. and that's give us 10 many
good thinss to eat. and never failed US the
year round. I just feel like it'll tear my
heart out"
She buried her face on Toms shoulder
and shook with sobs.
Hush, hush. honey. We must face trouble.
are used to it,"
But not this Tom. It'll tear my heart
out when 1 have to leave"
1T can't be helped. Annie. We've got to
pay for this Niger government"
Eleven o'clock was the hour fixed for the
sale. At 1870 a crowd Of negroes had gath
cred. There were only two or three white
men present. the agent OF the Freedman's
Bureau and some of his henchmen.
They began to inspect the place. Tim

ard it's only . o'clock. You go home and
cheer up your wife. How is Hose?"
Hes still IN bed. The doctor says HI
skull is broker in one place. but he'll be
over II in a few weeks"
Tom hcbbled back to his house. shaking
hands with scores of silent men on the way.
The preacher crawled to his desk ard
wrote this note to the young officer in com-
mand OF the post:
NV Dear Captain: In the interest Of peace
Independence for two companies OF white regu-
lars to come Immediately on a special. and that
you start your negro troops on double quick
marching order to meet them. There will be q
thousand armed men in Hambright by shutdown.
and no power on earth can prevent the eItermI-
nation OF that negro company II they attack
them- Will do my best to prevent further
bloodshed. but I can do nothing II these troops
remain here to-day. Respectfully.
JOHN DURHAM.
The commandant acted on the advice i'm
mediately. The negro troops were marched
double quick out of town. and met the
troops on the way to Hambright from Inde-
pendence. The two new companies marched
into the Courthouse square. The COM
mandant had an interview with the Sheriff
MI. Sheriff. you will postpone your sale
OF lands for taxes to-day. Your functions
are suspended till I see fit to restore them"
II was the week following before the
sale began. There was no help for II. The
town and the county were doomed to a ruin
more complete and terrible than the four
years Of war had brought. Independence
had been saved by a skillful movement of
General Worth. who sought an Interview
with Legree when his council first issued
their levy of 20 per cent for municipal pur-
poses.
Mr.. Legree. let's understand one an
other said the General.
All right: I'm n man Of reason"
"A bird in hand is worth two In the
bushr''
Every time. General,'
well. call off your dogs and resrind your
order for a 30-per-cent tax levy and I'll
raise 10000 in cash and pay II to you In
two days"
MAKE it $4,000 and it's a bargain"
Agreed"
The General raised twenty thousand In
the city. went North and borrowed the re-
manning thirty thousand.
Legree and his brigands received this an
som and moved on to the next town.
Poor Hambright was but a scrawny 1T
tie village on a red hill with no big values
to be saved. and no mills to interest the
commercial world. When the day Of mar
tial law expired the auctioneer lifted his
hammer.

Confirmation Services.

The Rt. Rev. Davis Sessums
visited the Episcopal Church at
this place on Monday, June 3Oth.
The Bishop preached, and admin
istered the rite of confirmation at
8 P. Nj. The sermon was an elO-
quent exposition of what consti-
tuted the Christian life. He
showed clearly that it must be
judged by an exalted type, and
that type was alone found in
Jesus Christ. His life is the per
feet ideal realized. He described
salvation as a condition of safey in
this life, not merely the rescue
from some future punishment in
an unknown world. AS a speaker,
Bishop Sessums has a very rapid
and forceful delivery. His CON-
mand over the English language
is something marvellous. His
thought is always optimis tic, his
manner buoyant, his style pleas
ing and winsome. "Hpi r"t.
? The rector, the Rev. G. c..
Kramer, presented a class Of nine
persons for the rite of cOnfirma-
ton. The names of those cOnfim-
ed were as follows Misses Min
mie Robertson, Matte Barnard,
Willie Whittle, Louise Compton,
iNinetta Mates, May Bell and
Mary Leuhm, Messrs. Eddie Boyle
and Arthur Bauman. The bishops
address to the class was full of
earnest advice and counsel, and
was clothed in beautiful and
pathetic language. l4I !. al
The congregation was very large
Many indeed were not able to
obtain seats in the building. All
present listened with rapt atten-
tion to the, bishops discourse
which lasted about an hoar. The
entire congregation remained to
witness the confirmation, which
was very solemn and impressive
ceremony. 7--ss-7 -

THE CITY MARKET.
It's Revenues-The Market Ordin
aQCo.

The city tax collection has made
out the total receipts of the city
market for the fiscal year ending
June 3Oth. 1902; and finds the
amount to be $375O.5O, which does
not include hall rent for the City
Hall on the second floor
The market was built in 1893
by the Municipality Of New Iberia
and the means furnished by inter,
est hearing notes. The indebted
ness on it is about paid, thus prov
ing the project a success beyond
doubt In year or so the Mar
ket will be furnishing the city
with revenue.
The market ordinance of 1899
makes it compulsory for peddlers
or vendors of poultry, eggs veget
ables, fish, meat, etc, to purchase
permits, spaces, and stalls in the
market. The price Of the permit
for vegetable fish and poultry
bartering is 25 cents per day, and
the butchers pay 60 cents, which
amounts give them the privilege
of space and stalls in the morning
and the right to sellin any portion
of the city after certain hours in
the morning
The violatOrs of the ordnance
are fined five, ten. and sometimes
fifteen dollars. The fine is very
heavy for some Of the ignorant
country people, especially negroes,
who know nothing Of the laws
Of the city; but time ought to
educate them. ..
The greatest possible advantage
coming as 2 result from the estab-
lishment Of the Market in the op
portunity it gives the Health
Officer to inspect everything that
is sold. Not so many mornings
ago a vendor of meat was arrest
ed and arraigned before the City
Recorder for sellidg meat that was
positively injurious to health.
The man was fined five dollors.
Nothing but fresh and clean We
getables, fish, eggs, etc, are sold
in the City Market. = 1o@
| 1t seems through that the city
authorities are not keeping the
market as clean as possible. A
little care in that respect would
have a wholesome effect.

Mrs. Buskey has ever since had seri-

The case lasted until Friday after

came in about $3.50 not agreed, were
sent back and after wrestling with the
case all night, returned verdict for
the plaintiff for one cent, damages
and costs.

Friday afternoon the case of Wheel
er Stenzil Co. VS. G. A. Drew was be-
gun and is now on trial. Mr.. Drew
bought 100 boxes of glass of the plain
tiff's and they did not send the kind
ordered, or the amount and after cor
respondence only partly filled the
order as claimed by Drew, but the
plaintiff claimed they did not agree to
to send all kinds and amount of glass
ordered. 1t appeared that glass was
going up, and finally Mr.. Drew sent
check for the amount he claimed to
owe them and they retained it. Mr..
Drew kept back something for dam
ages and he supposed he was being
sued for the balance, but upon trial
the plaintiff produced the check
which Mr.. Drew sent, and it had no
stamp and the plaintiff testified that
it had none when sent, and it was
made during the time when the L. S.
laws required checks to be stamped.
This came in the nature of surprise
to the defence and may change the
result.

and Judges Mathews and Clevland as
sisting. The forenoon was occupied
in calling the docket, and in the after
noon the case of Mrs. Buskey VS. Lor-
EMO Daley was called and placed OH
trial.
Mrs. Busky was driving past Mr..
Daileys on the first day of June 1901.
Mr.. Daileys dog ran at her horse,
barking and threatening it, which
caused the horse to jump and turn,
throwing her on to a pile of posts
which Mr.. Daley had placed in the
limits of the highway. She claims to
have been injured in her back, side,
limbs, etc. and In consequence she
had a miscarriage, and as a result
she now has a serious trouble which
DIR. Commings testified it would be
necessary for her to go to a hospital
for treatment. The defendant claim
ed the dog was peaceable one, and
that il she was injured he was not
liable in law, and also claimed that
the trouble from which she was suf-
fering was not the result of the ac-
cident. There were many witnesses
