lection in the person of Judge A.
D. Land, of Shreveport, for AS
sociate Justice of the Supreme
Court of Louisiana to succeed
Judge N. G. Blanchard, who re-
Gently resigned that position

his friends were won't to call him,
ever since he was a shaver-in

telligent lawyers in the State, in
whose person are combined all the
qualities necessary for the dis
charge of the duties of this high
Office, and whose eminent fitness
for it is readily recognized. And
above all, Judge Land is a man
with all of good that the term
implies. A man in unbending in
tegrity, in determination of char
acter, in moral rectitude and in
firmness of purpose. The bars
and people all commmend his
patience, fairness, ability and in
dustry on the bench, and his un-
swerving devotion to justice and
the maintenance of law. Gov.
Head could not have made q bet
ter selection.

Wisdom was not born with this
generation, and will not die with
it. We need more charity and
fewer solutions; more love,

make the world go right, but only
to discover and to do, with cheer
full heart, the work that God ap-
points"

The English cotton spinners are
backing up the experiment OF
producing cotton in Africa. 1t
may be that they can produce it
cheaper than America can sell to
them, but it will only be after
years of experiment. It will not
be next year nor i've years hence.

came Oh the stage, and they had to dodge
to avoid being struck Rolls of ribbon

JAS. l.. BLAIR'S LIFE INSURANCE.
The Mutual Life Pays s,O8s in Unearned
Premiums on Two Policies Held by Him.

ST. LOUIS, Nov 5.-The Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York paid to
United States Circuit Clerk james r. Gray
to-day the sums Of $17,825 and Sl5,44O in
unearned premiums upon two policies held
by james l.. Blair The company desires
to cancel the policies held by Blair which
are made payable to his wife's two sons
Percy and Preston.
The company says that Blair represented
to its agents that he had an income Of
100000 year when the policies were taken
out Since the exposure of the alleged
questionable loans on deeds Of trust, said
to have been forged, has involved Mr..
Blair, the company desires to discontinue
its business with him. For several years
Mr. Blair represented the company IN
st, Louis as its legal adviser.
The most sensational of the allegations
made by the Mutual company as plaintiff
is that Blair deliberately intended to kill
himself 10 defraud the insurance company
Of policies amounting to 3250.00O.
The Mutual people declare it their belief
that Blair all the time knew he was utterly
incompetent as a policy holder, for they
say he had forged and embezzed for years,
even previous to his application for the
policies.
