The .SandSpit Meeting.

Perhaps the sandspit meeting wa, the most spirited thus far in the campaign. The Bridge school was crowded Monda! night, with goOd-natured crowd. The candidates were all there. and all made speeches. Placurd> advising the pcO- pie to vote for S. u. Stevens. were pinned beneath the pictures f Wash ington. Lincoln, Grant and Stevens, which adorned the walls, ami when fudge McNulty in burst of oratory .Ninted to the picture, of those great Americans, na Sing each. the crowd derisiyely yelled and Stevens, thu, putting their seal of disapprOval on the gall which had actuated the placing of election placards beneath the pictures.
 James McCoSkrie pres ided and each candidate was li1bitcd to q ten minutes .alk. I,ust.ard was the first speaker. He claimed that the sandspit had never, received any recognition from the aoun-il. The sandspit should be recog- Hized as part of the city; the people Hd0 OUlI dShCO lOl G tSN ollCtt ldhil'N and hadn't got them. and he said the people would have free bridge. q re- mark that ,xas. received with great cheering.
 Chairman McCoskrie called upon the "watchdogof the treasury Col. Saw yer, swhonlzde an interesting address. Ln answer to a question he said that school Director Butler had never re- reived cent for any services he had rendered the school board while outside last year. All his services had been gratuitous. Col. Sawyer claimed that Nome's school system had no peer in the United States. He was in favor of school on the sandspt or anywhere else where they were found necessary.
 (. <. Staples favored free bridge, electric lights, d bridge across Dry creek. 'lf you fson't get anything, what do you pay taxes for:'' he asked. He believed in practicinc what he preached. It would take some tall thinking to bring sthe city out of ,he hole. and if elected he would do his dhty Al.
 pr. Hill said he knew he had friends uf the sandspit: they had been .moder- ute in their demands: so had Belmont point people. He favored a free bridge and if it could not be had couple of lighters might be used as bridge; eleoe-ic lights should be provided: he would do his duty if elected.
 Stevens peddled little hot air about scar dough friends from up river, and he sad the spit should have many things which they had not. He hoped .olive to see the day when city war rants would be worth loo cents Jr the dollar.
 C. F.. Hoxsie frankly stated that he was in the saloon business. and he did Hos know that he wanted to get out of it, and his object in running for the council was to prevent any unwise Legislation against honest saloon men.

Conviction Under D1mcuIttcS.
The trial and conviction OF Tom
Guin, last week, for perjury, was had
under difficulties. First, he went into
Winn parish and got arrested and
was put in Jail to keep from being
tried in Grant parish. Sheriff Swat
ford, however, heard OF the trick in
time to go to WINFIELD and bring
him to Colfax in time to stand his
trial on the day it was set for. And
then 10, and behold, another sensa-
tion was developed. The indictment
had disappeared. However, Clerk o.
Quinn always keeps things in good
order in his Office, and it only took q
few moments to get a certified copy
OF the indictment from the proper
book of record, and the trial wasgone
into. The jury convicted him, and
he was given two years in the pen.
Sheriff Swafford took him to AIexan-
dria last Sunday night, and Deputy
E. S. Teddlie took him on to Baton
Rouge from that place.

cided to hang him as an example to
such desperadoes. He had tried to
kill Mr.. Britain a day or two before
