becomes necessary.
Pistol Toting-Judge Anderson
was particularly severe in his de-
nunciation of pistol toting, espec-
tally among the negroes. He
traced most of the crimes among
the blacks to pistols, bad booze
and craps. He asked the jury in
every case where a man is indict-
ed for manslaughter or murder,
TO also indict for carrying conceal
ed weapons, so that, if a man is
acquitted for the more serious
crime he can be punished for the
lesser. He concluded his charge
with a reference to the lapses of
the municipal authorities and the
justices of the peace, at whose
door he laid most, of the response
bility for the lawlessness which
envelops this city.
When Judge Anderson took up
the cases of the eighteen delin-
quent saloon keepers, he imposed
a 500 fine and a jail sentence of
thirty days on each; which was
afterward reduced to $50 fine,
with the pledge of future good be-
havior. For the first time in
many years, the saloons, and all
other places not exempt by law,
are tightly closed on Sunday.
Whether this will continue, how
ever, depends entirely upon
whether the people and other Off
GERS do their duty, as Judge An
derson is doing his.
The Vicksburg Herald of Sat
uray has the following:
For refusing to answer ques-
tions propounded by the grand
jury, Nose Foley, a Waltersville
bar tender, was fined $50 and
sent to Jail for thirty days by
Judge Anderson at this term of
court. An hour spent inside the
grim walls of the county bastile
was enough to convince Foley
that the game was not worth the
candle and he sent word to Judge
Anderson that he was ready to an
swer all queries put to him by the
grand jury, if the court would re-
nit fine and Imprisonment. With
| this understanding the recalcitrant
witness was again ushered into the
august presence of the grand in
lquisitors, and it is presumed that
he answered to the grand jury's|
satisfaction, as he was shortly af-
terward permitted to depart in
peace.
Foley was the first of a small
army of witnesses summoned from
Waltersyille, and it was unofficial

4 FEDERATION or LODGES
knights OF Pythias Lodges oil Ei-
lis County Organize.

Some time ago the members of the
local lodge of knights of Pythias
issued invitations to brother lodges
of the county to meet here and form
All alliance or federation of county
lodges for mutual benefit. Yester-
day representatives from most of
the lodges met here and effected a
temporary organization by electing
the following officers:
j. W. Sexton, Ennis, president;
Y. TripPet, Waxahaehie, vice pres
ident, j. f. Light, Waxahachie,
secretary; J. /. Hey, Waxahachie,
treasurer.
The first meeting will be held in
this city on October 7th at s p. m.
The various lodges the the county
will be represented by delegates on
basis Of one for each thirty mem
bers o. fractional part thereof; also
by all the members as visitors.
Work in the degrees will he done
by the crack teams of the place
holding the meeting,
The association will meet alter
nately among the different lodges
in the county semi annually, on the
first Tuesday in October and April.
The rivalry among the different
lodges as to team work will be the
especial aim of the organization,
outside of the eXemplification of
the secret work. 1t is the purpose
of all this work to increase the in
terest in Pythianism and to get bet

course of construction in the Uni
versity Addition. Quite a number
of people In Italy and this com
munity own lots in this addition
and we feel confident that their in
vestments are good proposition.
The next place of interest visited
was the Waxahachie Cotton Mill.
Here we found our old friend, T.
A. DuBose, who is general manager
of the mill, and he kindly issued
a permit which gave us free access
to the inside of this busy institution,
where the constant hum of the many
hundred spindles completely drown
ed the voice and the whirring of the
thousands of wheels almost deafened
us as we picked our way along the
narrow aisles, with rapidly revolv-
ing machinery on every side, cover
Ing almost the entire floor space Of
the entire building; but with all this
there was nc confusion and every
thing moved with elock-like precis-
ion. Manager DuBose informed us
that the mill was running both night
and day, but even then they could
not begin to fill the orders for duck,
this being the season for heavy
demand for that particular product.
After leaving the cotton mill our
drive extended over a considerable
portion of the resident district of the
city, and we passed many stately
structures, interspersed with cozy
cottages and on many streets nice
shade trees bordering the sidewalks.
We've never spent more pleasant
afternoon in Waxabachie and the
kindness of Hill Harbin, TO whom
we are indebted for this appreciated
pleasure, may never he repaid, but
it will never be forgotten.

NEW CHURCH ORGAN.

The musical numbers at the Easter
services at Christ church were made
doubly attractive and impressive by the
new organ, which was used for the
first time in public at the morning
service.
The installation of this new organ
is the fruition of the hopes of the la
dies of this parish for many years.
During the past ten years the Ladies
Guild of this church had been slowly
accommodating an organ fund, which
last August amounted to $3.50. At
this time Thomas Dewey came for
ward with an offer of 81 600 for this
fund, provided enough could be raised
by subscription to at once purchase
an organ and place it i'll the church.
Mr.. Dewey's generous offer met with
ready response With the exception
of three subscriptions of 5000 each,
made by Col. Fred E. Smith, Hon. b.
f. Fifield and Hon. j. A. DeBoer,
the remainder was easily raised by
smaller subscriptions.
An organ committee was appointed
to at once negotiate for the purchase
of new instrument. This committee
had, in Boston, the valuable services
of S. B. Whitney, organist of the
Church of the Advent and a former
organist of Christ church Acting
under his advice the committee plac-
ed an order with the Hutchings- Votey
Organ Company for an organ costing,
in round numbers, q, 000 This or
gan was shipped to Montpelier the lat
ter part of February, and since the
first week i'll March Charles Bowen
and W, H. Goliath, two experienced
men from the mandatory, have been
at Montpelier taking down the old or
gan and putting the new one in place,
The old organ is boxed and stored at
the warehouse of the r. @. Bowers
Granite company, and Will be sold
whenever purchaser is found.
The new organ occupies the same
corner in the church as did the old
one, but the keyboard is placed across
the chancel at the left. This organ
has nearly 1000 pipes, or to be exact,
/ ,99S From the keyboard to these
pipes lead tubing is run beneath the
floor, through which the air passes.
The organ is run by compressed air
furnished by hydraulic motor,
1t is thoroughly built in every respect
and every one who heard it on Sun
day, as we'll as several local musicians
who have tried it and heard it pre-
vious to Sunday, pronounce it one of
the sweetest toned instruments they
have ever heard.
The organ will be formally dedicat-
ed at some date late in April when
organist S. b. Whitney, accompanied
by boy soloist from Boston, will
visit Montpelier for that purpose.

Letter to David Mayo.
N Montpelier, Vt.

Dear Sir: Suppose YOU are gong to
paint house, and ask all the painters
there are within reach to bid on it-you
to furnish m ,ter ials, they to say what to
use, and charge for time and the know
how.
How many will use the same paint?
They, generally, will compound their own
paints.
There will be no two alike. And this is
the end of the notion that painters know
how to make paint.
They know how to put paint on; and
that is their business.
They ought to know what to buy. How
many of them know what to buy?
A blacksmith buys nails, because better
shoes and nails than nails than he can
make are made for less than he can make
them for-by machinery. Wagonmakers
buy wheels, because better wheels than
they can make are made for less than they
can make them for--by machinery.
Why should painter make hls own
paint, when he can buy better for less?
We take the risk of how it turns out, be-
sides. Devoe lead and zInc is the paint;
lasts twice as long as the average paint
ers paint-lead and oil
Yours truly.

FOUND DEAD.

Edward Livensdale of Barre and
aged thirty five years, was found dead
on the Central Vermont railroad S
tracks near Smiths crossing about a
mile north of Barre city on Friday
evening.
1t will be remembered that young
son of Livensdale was killed last De-
cember while trying to board a Mont
pelier and Wells River train at the
Barre station, and that for time af.
terward Livensdale was apparently in
sane. He was brought to this city
and confined in Jail, but finfially was
considered recovered and was released
OF late his demeanor would not lead
anyone to suspect him to be deranged,
but his death is believed to have been
suicidal because when found he had
his dead boys cap pressed close to his
breast under his arm.
The Central Vermont train which
struck the man must have done it on
its up trip from this city, arriving in
Barre at 10 p. m.
The first intimation that the train
men had of the tragedy was when the
train was held up at Smiths crossing
upon its return trip to this city at
midnight.
About 8 80 woman residing near
the crossing went out to empty some
ashes and discovered a body lying
across the tracks. She thought the
man was intoxicated and fearing he
would be run over-by the returning
train, she summoned her husband,
who found that the man was Livens-
dale. His head had been cut off and
also one arm.
The police were summoned but did
not touch the body until the arrival
of the undertakers at 10 :30;. The re.
mains were taken to the undertaking
rooms where an inquest was heldSatur-
day.
Livensdale had not been home for
two weeks, as four out of his five
children were i'll with scarlet fever
and We're quarantined with his wife
On Thursday evening.he went to the
Red Cross Pharmacy, and made ar
rangements for fumigating his house.
This was to have been done today
Livensdale's wife was not notified of
the tragedy until Saturday morning.
