A New Kind of Fuel.

Friend Hardeman anticipated
us saying something about bis
Typographical error last week
in picking up crushed brick
bats to start a fire with, mistak-
ing the same for coal. Maybe he
was experimenting with a new
kind of fuel, but as the brickbats
had already gone through chap
tism of fire" in process of manu-
facture, we fail to see how he
could get any heat out of them,
as they were "dead 'uns," the
pugilist would say. He denies the
allegation, but as he "gave HIM
self away" in anticipating us, he
stands self-confessed:
Friend Hardeman attempted to start fire
With briekbats swiped from a neighboT;
He says the man who ''said it" is a base liar;
Denies the allegation and de1ies the alligator.
But evidence conclusive was found on the floor
OF hrlckbats strewn from stove to door;
No fire that chilly morn did materialize.
While Hardemans fingers were as cold as ice.
This was enough to drive him to desperation,
And in the Glowing b0wl' sought consolation;
He now avows he will deliver grand oration
To the liar who invented this base fabrication.
He has ordered "coffee" and pistols for two.
The "cOde duello" lie means to defend
or friends and spectators there'll be not few
Who will help his wounded feeling to mend.

The Republicans Of this State
have called convention to meet
in New Orleans on the 18th day
of February to select a State tic
ket. There are three candidates
prominently mentioned for the
governorship: W. J. Behan, B. F.
Williams and Clarence Hebert.
The only chance any of them
would have in running for Gov
nor would be to land in a good,
soft national job, as some of them
are now enjoying. But, after all !,
they might as we'll have these
good jobs, rather than let them
go to the Democrats who play
sspatriots' for fat jobs.

Should Be Forever Disfranchised

The present primary election
law is quite stringent in its penal
clauses, but not enough so. The
man that sells his vote should be
forever disfranchised. - Monroe
Star.
There may be contempt for the
man who sells his vote, and as a
rule the man who sells his vote
does not consider his act as Grim
inal, especially when the offer to
buy is from one who, perhaps,
stands above him socially and
otherwise. If "the man that sells
his vote should be forever dis
franchised," what punishment
should be meted out to the one
who offers to buy, who solicits
the purchase, the man who leads
the other to an act which should
brand with dishonor and con-
tumely the man who suggests, or
offers, or does bargain and Sc
cures such a vote! There are
men who scruple not at methods;
men who would go any length and
take any risk or advantage to COM
pass their political schemes. And,
unfortunately, such men are not
limited to the scale of the hood
lum, but in many instances stand
as examples of worthiness. How
can there be put a stop to this
disgraceful and most damnable
corruption of the electorate!
There is a law to reach bribery
as we'll as the buying and the sell
ing of votes, but the offenders
are never disturbed and are left
to the fullest enjoyment of their
crime. But there will come a day
when the man, regardless of his
standing in life, who will offer to
debauch a voter by bribe, or
otherwise, will be reached by the
law and will be branded with in
fanny by public opinion.-Cauea-
sian.

Hon. w. S. Frazee, candidate
for State Auditor, who would
have been in the second primary
with Behrman, has concluded to
abandon the fight owing to the
excessive cost Of making the race,
the State Committee having fixed
the amount that each candidate
should be assessed to enter the
second primary at something like
$4,000.
Capt. 0. B. Steele and Hon.
james nj. Smith, candidates for
Treasurer, are entitled to make
the second race, but it is doubt
full if they can stand the expense,
as they will be alone to foot the
bill, being the only candidates
for State offices in the second
primary; both, however, express
a determination to fight it out to
finish, regardless of expense.
The Committee meets today to
decide what will be done to settle
the matter.
