A negro with a well developed case
of small pox boarded the train at
Rayne for New Orleans last Tuesday.
At first there was some doubt as to
the nature of the disease. The phy-
sicians at Rayne pronounced it a
genuine case while those at Jeaner-
elite contradicted the statement.
Nevertheless the negro was isolated
in a separate car and the doors and
windows secured. At Algiers the
patient was examined by tie health
officers who pronounced it small pox.
The coach in which the negro was
confined was thoroughly fumigated.
This time of the year when there is
SO much moving around, especially
among the negroes, too much precau-
ton cannot be taken by our health
officers against this loathsome dis
ease.-Franklin Banner.

Cabinets and Cabinet Making.

The gradual reconstruction of Mr..
Roosevelt's Cabinet lends a direct

which the Hon. Charles Emory Smith
has just written for The Saturday

Cabinets and Cabinet-M Making tells
how Presidents choose their official
advisers; how nice political consid-
erations influence their choice and
reduce to lowest terms the number of
available candidates.

Pope Leo XIII has just completed
twenty-three years and eight months
of his pontificate. His reign, says
the Westminster Gazette, has thus
risen very high in the scale Of dura-
ton, being now the sixth in order,
and if he is spared until the "octave
of the Epiphany" it will be the fifth
longest to- papal reigns. The popes
who have reiged longer than Leo
XIII are: St. Peter (33-97,) with a
reign of thirty-four years six months ;
Plus TX (1848-78), thirty-one years
seven months and twenty-five days;
Plus VI (1775-98), twenty-four
years six months and fourteen days j;
Adrien Il (771-95), twenty-three
years ten months and twenty-seven
days, and Sylvester 1 (3t4-27),
twenty-three years ten months and

O., $500 CASH PRIZE CONTESTS.
The Atlanta Constitutions Great
Offer for 1902.

The Atlanta Constitution offers
two cash prize contests from January
lst to April 18th, 1902.
$1,000 in cash prizes for agents.
These prizes range from $500 for the
highest to $500 for the lowest list
from any agent during the period, in
addition $3.50 will be divided pro
rata among all agents who send
twenty or more subscriptions and fail
to get any other prize. This is a
liberal offer and the details of it will
be sent you by applying to the Allan
ia Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.
The $4,000 upon the Savannah,
GA. Cotton receipts will be given as
follows:
To the person sending a yearly
subscription to the Atlanta Constitu-
ton (weekly) together with the cor
rect estimate on the cotton receipts
of Sayapnah, Ca, from September
LIST, 1901, &c April 18th, 1902.
$1,000 if the estimate is received
during January.
$500 if the. estimate is received
during February.
$3.50 if the estimate is received
during March or up to April 10TH;
The above are for the exact esti-
mates, there are besides these the
following prizes that will be paid out
for the nearest estimates to the Sa-
vannah cotton receipts received at
any time during the contest:
$3.50, 500, $75, $50. $25. for the
next nearest estimates in their order.
There is also a great consolation
offer. $500 will be distributed
among those who fail to sec one of
the larger prizes and whose estimates
come within 500 bales either way of
the exact figure. This allows a mar
gin of 1000 bales within which all
estimates are sure to receive part of
the prize money offered. The point
is to strike the estimate exactly dur
ing January. This is a possibility.
In a contest similar to this the Con-
.stitution has had the number hit ex-
and paid out $1,000 for the
estimate.

Work goes steadily on at Pelican
No. 2 well in Prairie Marmou. They
are now down about 1000 feet with a
~ inch drill. At. this well the com
pany has accomplished something
new and entirely novel in oil well
drilling. Thus far the operators
have used only the 70 inch drill, cas-
ing the well with clay, a kind pecu-
liar only to that part of the country.
BY so doing the company has saved
at least So, 500 which would other
wise been expended for pipe. The
drillers have passed through a por-
ton of shale, the formation generally
found over cap rock and expect TO
set their Pinch pipe on the rock
and go on the balance OF the way
with an 8-inch pipe.

"When the. wars are over, and
furthermore, when Europe has COM
pleted her proposed system of retalia-
ton upon US for our tariff policy,
then the gold that has lately made its
way into the country in unusual
quantity, and which the common
people never see, will be drained out
again and the money question will
once more bob up for settlement"
writes a Philadelphia to the Phila-
delphla Times. "And the men who
are to voice us on all these great
questions must be men direct from
the people themselves. They must
men free from suspicion of contact
with corporate power or influence +;
they must be men who have our full
confidence. They must, in short, be
men OF the same type as rhat great
intellectual thinker and pure and
true democrat-William Jennings

The st. Landry jury commission
has reached the conclusion that unless
there are some negroes drawn upon
the jury that no legal trial can be
had, and out of its wisdom the other
day, sprinkled in a few, which natur-
ally excited criticism. The colored
people Of that parish would do well
to enter a protest against being fore
ed to go upon the juries, as all the
harm which is to come out of it, will
fall upon them, and certainly there
will be harm unless st. Landry has
lost all trace of racial distinction and
animoslty for which it has always
been celebrated in the past. AS to
the legality of a jury yenire which is
exclusively white we did not think
there could be reasonable question
any longer. We trust this foolish
idea does not spread any further than
st. Landry, where it may be finally
stamped out.-Franklin Vindicator

up through the Friday Immediately
preceding publication. This will
keep you posted to within two or

The 1900 contest is an express
contract to which the Constitution

is in its nature simply an advertise
ment by which the Atlanta Constitc-
ton combined with The MER1D1oNAL
for only $1.85 per year may become
better known in this community.
The Atlanta Constitution for 1902
will be better than ever before. Its

The Sunny South has been brought

of its avowed purposes is the exploit
tation of the Southern field of litera-
