full. blast, Mr.. Collins states, and
yet are hardly able to keep up with
their oroers for rough AND dressed
lumber. The plan, which il is con

Give Us A Canning
Factory

The question of utilizing sur
plus fruit and vegetables by the
erection of canning factories Is
most important. and as the outlay
of capital is not large, we hope to
record the establishing of one In
or near Covington at an early date.
Feeling deeply interested IN this
matter We have taken the trouble
to get actual figures, which can be
relied on, for the erection of a
plant with the capacity of 5000
cans per day. Tomatoes can he
raised i'll paying quantities in this
parish, also beans, peas, sweet po-
tatoes, pumpkins, etc., there is no
place to equal it for the production
of strawberries, blackberries, dew
berries and piums, not to say any
thing about our luscious pears and
peaches. Our people must be sup
and DONG" and understand what
can be accomplished in the North
III this enterprise can doubly be ac-
compllshed in the South, and es-
pecially SO IN our most productive
and beautiful State. Following
are the figures, which we hope will
prove of interest 10 our merchants
and farmers.

West HObOken Man
HOnOred In South.

We copy the following article,
under the above heading, from the
West Hoboken, N. j., Observer OF
Aug. 20, which will prove of in
terest to our readers:
Former Town Treasurer Charles
s. Galbraith, of West Hoboken,
has just been elected Mayor of
Vaudeville, in Louisiana, where
he made bis home some years ago.
There were two tickets IN the field,
one called the Gaibraith and the
other called the Smith ticket, the
latter named after its candidate for
Mayor, w. A. Smith. Besides
their candidate for Mayor the Gal
bralthites elected three Aldermen
and the Smlthltes two.
Mr.. Galbraith IS veteran poll
ticial gladiator and in national af-
fairs an iron clad Democrat. He
was always known to take an active
interest IN local affairs and trained
for many years in West Hoboken's
battle of ballots. He carried with
him from there the grit and ability
to show the citizens of a southern
town how to head and carry
ticket to victory.
He was one of the leaders of the
Municipal or reform party in West
Hoboken, and when they carried
that town at the spring election of
1894 he was appointed treasurer,
which Office he filled for two years.
He spent few summers in West
Hoboken since he first went to
Vaudeville, returning at the ap.
proach of winter to his new home
in the South.

BOLTS ROOSEVELT.

Ernest H. Crosby, who sue.
ceeded Theodore Roosevelt in the
assembly from the Twenty. frs,
District of New York, and who
was appointed as a Republican to
. jndgeship in the lnteruationa |
Court at Cairo, Egypt, has come
ont for Judge Parker.
Mr.. Crosby is rich. He has
been prominent in reform politics
since he returned from Cairo. He
was the first president of the Re
form Club.
Mr.. Crosby said:
"Mr. Roosevelt has deliberately
made himself the incarnation Of
thespirit of mllltarism and imperl-
alism. His dream OF national
greatness means nothing but phys,
ical strength, and for great ideas
no would substitute great navy.
Freedom, equality. justice. must
oil be subordinated to brute force.
The change shows itself already on
Tho surface of life in Washington.
Uniforms and brass buttons, new.
tangled military escorts, war talk
and army manners, are gradually
making Roadway there, as fast as
circumstances permit. 1t is the
kaiser which seems to have aroused
the emulation of our President and
has cabinet, and kaiserism. with
Ill that word mpl,es-Pr ussian
junkerism, lese majestic, enormous
ornaments, and all peaceful pur-
suits subordinated to military en-
terprises that is the issue at the
