Catarrh Cannot he Cured
A MeIarl-cIr0lY Stnry.

In recent issue of the Abbeville
Meridional there appeared the follow
ing item about garden sass in Yer
million parish:
Hon. Overton Cade brought nam
moth pumpkin from his plantation,
near Youngville, a fatcar being nsees-
sary to effect the transfer. Twelve
negroes were required to get the re-
mDrkable specimen Of Fruit from the
field to the station. The pumpkin
weighed 124 pounds and is fraction
over seven feet ia diameter. A tall
man can lay across the big melon
without either his toes or the tips Of
his fingers touching the outer edges.
The4pumpkin will be staeke@ away ii
straw and will be given to the Saliva
ton Army in New Orleans next Thanks
giving day.
In commenting on the item, the
Crowley Signal declares tbaS it is ia
accurate, and goes on to say:
We speak OF the above as bAing pos
sibly inaccurate in some particulars
because it is perfectly plain to US til at
the Meridional was miataking in call
sIaS tlts ItbLlG fIGGIt1 dEaEu9 sass d
pumpkin. Pumpkins OF that size grow
plentifully in Acadia, as we'll as in
Vermilion. Tt took twelve negroes and
a hatcar to move the Meridional's
pumpkin. II it had taken twelve Hat
cars and proportionate number Of
negroes, then there might have been
something unusual in the pumpkin.
The truth seems to be that what Hon.
Overton Cade toted into town with the
assistance offs twelve negroes and a
ffatcar was an Acadian watermelon
probably a second crop Melon
The Chief has no difficulty at all in
reaching thorough conception of the
magnitude of the pumpkin or water
melon referred to above, because from
what we can gather from the measure
ments we judge the Vernnilion wonder
to be about as big as an understood
Ascension persimmon.

United son. d coarsasea.e veterans.

NKw ORLEANS. La, Aug. /, 1904.
The Louisiana Division, United
Confederate Veteran ans, having called
/ the state reunion to meet at Baton
Rouge, La, Sept. s and I, 1904, in
aceorda nee with the constitution OF
| the United Sons OF Confederate Ve6s
Grams we hereby call the annual re-
union Of the Louisiana Division, O..
S. G. v, for the same time and place.
All camps are earnestly requested TO
send their full delegation, and by so
doing show their appreciation of the
noble work for which we are organized.
The old veterans are fast passing
away, and the work left to the sons by
them is fast becoming ours by heritage.
No nan, save the veteran himself, can
| feel prouder of the work of our fathers
than we; no work of love should have
| precedence over this. It should be a
sacred righ54 given TO US alone, to
preserve and keep tIs records, and
try to make the fast declining years OF
our fathers one happy dream OF the
old glories. No better chance is given
US than these annual reunions of
fathers and sons to get together, and,
by our acts, show our love and venera-
ton for the men in gray.
Each camp Ia this state is entitled to
representation at the reunion under
the following provisions and rules:
/. Tie general confederation per
capita tax of 10 cents must be paid, in
Guiding 1904.
2. The division per capita tax Of Is
cents must be paid, including 1904.
the camps must be in the hands Of the
Division Adiutant not later than
September /, 1904.
4. Each camp must be represented
BY one or more bona fde members Of
their own camp.
5. Each camp is entitled to one vote
for each 10 members or fraction in ex-
cess of 4.
6. Each delegation can be il excess
OF the number of votes to which it is
entitled. ia which case each delegate
Of that camp will be entitled to the
fraction OF a vote so created.
4. Each delegation should elect q
chairman.
We hope that this reunion will be
attended by every camp ia the state,
and have consequently given out the
above rules for guidance; we also en-
Close a bill showing how your camp
stands, which bill (reeeipted). or copy
thereof, should be attached to your

making this reunion . success, We

Is Was ia he Expected.

By his refusal to commission Capt.
| W. B. Power superintendent Of public
| education for Franklin parish, despite
| the fact that that gentleman was en-
dorsed for the place by the vote OF the
people, Gov. Blanchard has aroused
a storm of indign alton throughout the
press of the state and is being severely
criticised for the spirit of petty per-
sonal spite evidenced by his action in
the matter. A recent issue of the
| Caldwell W atchman contained the fol-
lowing editorial in reference to the
incident:
Governor Blaneha ard treats the dem
ocrats WHO voted for ] astremski as
| though they were members of an alien
| party. A case in point is that of Capt.
| Power, of Franklin parish. This gentle
| man, il the late primary election, was
endorsed by the people for parish SUI
perintendent of public education, end,
though he was a Confederte veteran, a
democrat of lifelong standing, man
possessed of all the necessary educa-
tlona1 qualifications, yet, because he
was a supporter of General JAS
tremski, he is turned down by Gov
ernor Blanchard and the will OF the
| people Of that parish trampled on and
ignored. This way of getting even with
| an opponent is q species of littleness
that was not to be looked for in a
governor of this great state and is
rounding out an honorable career
| with q vengeance.
In his own paper, the Franklin Sun,
Capt. Power expresses his opinion of
Gov. Blanehard's action in the follow
ing vigorous terms:
We made Gen. Jastremski our
| choice in the primary; that was our
right. We also acted as the general
| representative in the parish, defeating
Blanchard by good majority which
| would have been much larger had the
campaign lasted a week or two longer.
If that be so, and it seems the case, the
| present governor honors US by adj
hitting the fact chat our small influence
was greater than his vigorous efforts
here.
When Gov. Blanchard visited our
town, we attended his meeting and
published a complimentary notice Of
his address. As soon as he was de-
clared elected at the primary we
bowed Loyalty to the decree, and in
the general election gave him our vote
and support. That was our duty and
we did it cheerfully. AS to courtesy at
least, Gov. Blanchard ought to have
no cause to complain.
Now the people have elected US.
They have passed judgment on US.
/ No ONE MAN ought to throw aside
their verdict. To do SO IS TYRANNY!
Far be it from The Chief growing.
but the temptation is irresistible to

Orleans Tines Democrat under the
caption, Judge Parker Says
That he announced his vieBs ON the
gold question il oeder th ab no mis-
take should be made by the delegates
to the national convention as to his
advocacy Of the gold standard.
That the platform demands rs 10
honesty and economy il adlninistra-

That he construes liberty, as set out
fn the constitution, 10 mean the right
TO use ones faculties in all laWful
ways. to live and work where he &ill.
and to pursue any lawful trade or
BUSINESS.
That government, under the Law,
represents e0nstitutionalism: that
power OF the sword means Imperialism.
That the present tariff Ian is unjust
il operation and should be revised 20
| q reasonable basis in the interest Of
all classes of the people.
hat the trusts have been eneour aged
and stimulated by excessive tariff
duties, and that their existence is due
to failure of officials TO do their duty
under existing laws.
Ihat II existing antitrust laws ars
found insufficient, such further legis-
iatlon should be enacted as will pro-
vide the people just and full protee-
tion.
That no person may be deprived OF
any os the essential rights of life, in
ending life itself, except through due
process of law.
That the power delegated ung1er the
constitution to all classes OF officials
should be strictly observed aud not
transcribed, nor power usurped by
ang.
TEa5 in no case should the reign of
law be subordinated % the reign OF
force.
That responsibility for the Philin-
pines may be best met by fitting the.
people OF the islands for gull freedom
as soon as they are prepared for it.
mat the Americans need no great
military establishment, nor an army
anu navy more than sufficient for pro-
lection OF American citizens at home
and abroad.
That the maintenance OF the title of,
world power is not necessary to en-
fofee the idea that the country occupies
q position OF independence and not of
isolation.
S. That the government of the United
states was organized solely for the
people.
That under no circumstances will he
