DO They Deserve our Charity?
WRITTEN FOR THE FREE PRESS.

WRITTEN FOR THE FREE PRESS.
Some weeks since there appeared in
the Free Press an editorian comment
ing on the jealousies existant among
those who seek to build up their re-
spective towns.
Such was the excellency of the
spirit shown in this article that l felt
! would like to shake the hand that
penned such thoughts. They were
applicable to the most of us; to COM
nunities as we'll as individuals. These
iealousies are widespread evils, but
they seem to exist in greater ratio in
small towns. Jealousy may be likened
to a hot-bed in which we cultivate
this vice and it's loug train of fol-
lowers. Competitors i'll business are
Jealous of each other, and one seeks
the injury CT the other. A woman is
Jealous OF rival and she starts a
scandal. A maj, is defeated for office,
and he would punish his opponent
Through jealousy a man or woman
may keep an entire village in con-
tinuous turmoil, and the thought We
would throw out here is: To what
extent are such people entitled to our
charity?
There is line in Hamlet that runs
like this: There is nothing either
good or bad, but thinking makes it
So"
Some writer in speaking Of jealous
woman intimates that she is diseased,
that she has SO cultivated the vice that
it has become chronic and, therefore,
she must no longer be held fully re-
sponsible for the misery she causes
others.
Are we prepared to accept this
charitable view
A writer asks: docs it pay to
be revengeful and bear in our hearts
desire to be avenged for some fan
cied slight or insult?'
A writer in the Philomothian says
"Woe unto a person who creates a
being of hate, revenge, malice, etc.,
because if that being does not tlnd a
resting place with the person against
whom it was sent, it will return to the
person who had created it. Not only
will it return as it was sent, but with
,three-fold more evil power, and II
will take hold of the person who
created it, and no power in heaven OF
earth can prevent it. -
Those who constantly think evil
Of others and wish them i'll luck, are
the ones who suffer their own Ill Will
Thus are the words of Christ true
"The hand that smites thee is thine
own"
sydney Flower, in one of his re
cent articles, says; Just as there Is

as a Gold Miner.

A few days ago the dispatches
announced that Edison, the great
electrician, had invented process
for extracting gold from the low
grade quartz gravel in the beds of
Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming
and Mexico. 1t Is said that bill
lions of dollars worth of gold car,
he secured by the Edison process
of separating the metal from the
gravel by means of powerful air
blast, and az the beds Of quartz
gravel are practically inexhaustlble
1t will only be question Of time
when the country will be flooded
with gold.
This should be good news for
the free silverites, because it holds
out the hope that gold will in time
be good deal cheaper than pig
iron, and silver will increase enor-
mously in value and become the
money metal of the world. We
are told that the quartz gravel beds
which it is impossible to work
otherwise at a profit can be made
to yield by means of the Edison
invention riches that are beyond
the dreams of avarice, as 90 per
cent. of the gold in every ton of
gravel is extracted. If this he true
we shall soon witness the decline
and disappearance of the crockcry
industry in the United States. The
poorest families will carve their
beef on gold plates and quaff their
coffee from gold cups.
Wash basins, pitchers, water
coolers, teapots, bath tubs, etc
will be made of the now precious
metal, and the gold standard, the
Republican party and the great
banks will 60 kiting into the air.
Gold will become so common and
so deprecated IN value that the
mllllonaires who have been board
ing it III their strong boxes will
find themselves paupers. Things
will surely be turned upside down,
and copper-cased watch, zinc
finger rings aud breast pins will he
worn only by the wealthy, while
the. poor will have to be content
with gold jewelry. What a re-
volution there will be if the inveu-
ton of the remarkable Edison
proves all that has been claimed
for it. The bottom Will surely
drop out Of the social and financial
world.-Daily States.

Fatal Shooting ARRAY.

Last Saturday afternoon trouble
broke out at the terminus of the log.
glng road which extends out few
miles from Florenville, which re.
resulted in the killing of four ne.
groes by the name Of Lauran,, and
the wounding of two others.
ihe story Is that the trouble
really started several days ago. P.
II. Hansborough, who Is general
superintendent OF the logging in
terests of the Poitevent & Favre
Company. and a man of high
standing in that settlement, keeps
store at the end of the log rail.
road. Some of the negroes about
the place, including the Laurant
boys, had made themselves more or
less obnoxious for some time. A
young man from Mississippi was a
clerk i'll the Hansborougb store.
One of the Laurant boys became
"fresh" with him and refused to
address him in respectful manner,
carelesslv calling him by his last
name without any sign of courtesy.
This was done two or three times,
when the Young M,ssissipp,an,
tired of the insult, knocked the ne
gro down with an axe handle.
This much is said to have hap
pened in the store proper. The
matter. caused some excitement,
and shortly after the black received
a load of shot from some one in
the neighborhood of the store, but
it is not known from whom. The
wound inflicted was not necessarily
dangerous, but it started the feud.
For some time the negroes, as
already stated, had grown sulky
and impudent. They had secured
firearms and 1t is even said that
some of the younger ones had been
practicing at target range, often
making lnsinuatlng remarks about
what might happen in the Parker
neighborhood If some of the whites
said anything.
Saturday evening, itappears, the
suspected trouble broke out III all
its fury. firing of the insulting
manner of the blacks, the leading
white men of the settlement took
thematter IN their own hands and
thelmmediate result was as above
stated. The latest account was
that fasillade of shots followed
the real encounter Saturday night.
Three were killed outright and the
fourth died before the officers
reached the scene.
Deputy Sherlffs Hiram Cook and
S. ]. Talley were promptly on the
scene, and found that quiet had
been restored. They made one ar
rest, Jules Laurant, charged with
assault and battery.
DIR. f. Julius Helntz, Coroner of
St. Tammany Parish, who resides
at Ablta Springs, was summoned.
and he went up there Monday
morning and held the inquests.
