London, August i.-In every station of life throughout the length and breadth of Great Britain men day by day are having the sad truth forced upon them that there is no money ab,Vt.
 Those who may have thought that trade depression was not general are finding themselves with failing divi- dends or decreased business. Men out of employment, whether skilled clerks or artisans or unskilled labor CTS. are discovering that situations are even more difficult to obtain than hitherto. and throughout every trade and profession increasing difficulty is being experienced in collecting money for goods. supplies or work done.
 Yet all the while the cost of the necessaries of life shows a tendency to increase. Charitable institutions are in the depths of despair, while stock exchange stagnation no longer is headed, complaints having become chronic.
 A London charitable institution re gently sent out lette rs asking contri- buttons. The SOie response was tNO penny stamps. Deposits in the post office saving bank this year show a
 failing off averaging more than s5,O00.- coo. and the Friendly Society business is almost at standstill
 ''The reason for this vey serious state of affairs is due maini. to the enormous and growing taxation" saic a great financial expert, and to Cse rapidly increasing rates. To these causes mainly We must attribute our bad trade Our almost un5e earab,e taxes draw money from business, and trade must suffer in colseqlerce. In this country We pay-man. woman and child-in taxation nearly three times as much as 6o the citizens of the United States.
 'I hape noticed the depression creeping upon US for some time past Doctors cannot get their fees, solicit ors cannot get work, the book trade is almost stagnant, and thousands of clerks are out of employment"

Mexican Laws Re.
 garding 0rummers
SAlESMEN MUST PAY MONTHLY LICENSE IN SONORA, AND TAB IS KEPT UPON
 THEM.

There are some paragraphs in the Mexican code of laws which it pays an American visiting the sister republic to paste in his hat where the opera tions of the sweat-band won't deface the reading matter. For if there is one thing more than another that the average official across the line is in. sistent upon it tthat the laws shall be respected.
 Therefore. the average travelling salesmen from these United States will be interested in a new regulation which went into effect in Sonora re. gently which requires that all drum mers entering the state, with or with out samples, must pay in the locality where they verify sales a monthly license of from $50 to s150, to be gath cred in by the tax collector of the To- cality.
 At first sight this looks easy. There should not be much trouble, it would appear. 10 dodge this tax. The ubiquitous salesman might bob ir and out of a community before the overworked tax collector woke up  But the Sonora law makers are g foxy bunch. and they added a little joker to the statute that makes g quick getaway for the drummer wei nigh an impossibility. The jokel reads in this wise:
 ''The proprietors of hoters, restau rants and boarding houses are obliged to give notice to the tax collector of all travelevs that lodge in their respective establishments"
 Of course. the salesman might rep resent himself at his hotel as trav cling missionary and trust to luck tC get away before it is learned that h' is peddling lard. hut that would be talk ing 100 to 1 chance. IL remains tc be seew how the law works.

Monday last a representative
of the Iberian had occasion to
visit our sister town on business
and pleasure combined, and while
there enjoyed a pleasant walk
about the town, noting partlcu
larly the many evidences of en-
terprise and prosperity on almost
every hand.
The saw mills, single mills,
sash, door and blind factories are
doing a splendid business, all OF
them running full time and sup
to the neck" with orders awaiting
their attention. Especially is this
true of the large plants of the
Jeanerette Lumber Company and
the Planters Lumber Mill.
Another busy place is Mores
foundry and machine shops-ont
.! h Honcer enterprises of oul
sister town-and certainly one Of
its best.
The waterworks and electric
light plant is in fine condition ant
a credit to the town.
The wholesale and retail bust
ness establishments are doing :
fair business, considering tn,

There are quite large numbe
Of new residences in the course o

actively engaged IN setting forth
to the world the advantages and
claims of Jeanerette. Our genial
friend, John w. Watts, editor and
proprietor of the Coast-Herald,
is Secretary and Manager of the
League, a position which he is
eminently qualified to fill.
Crops about the town are i'll an
exceptionally splendid condition
to say the very least.
In short Jeanerette is more
than holding her own, and can
safely be relied on to keep apace
with the wave of activity and pro-
gress manifest IN this section.
Jeanerette is not going to lag in
the rear by any means; so sayeth
her denizens; and promises to
prosper in the future as never be.
fore in her history.
Jeanerette is justly noted for
many pretty, accomplished girls
and young ladies and gallant
young men, of whom none better
are to be found anywhere.
In addition to the enterprises
mentioned above Jeanerette poss-
esses large number of others
equally as important, which the
limited space at our disposal does
not permit us to quote a length.
Also q Catholic Convent; fine
churches; hotels; and opera house;
large, up-to-date High School; a
steam laundry; electric lights;
waterworks; secret orders; good
police force; progressive city ad.

sidewalks; rice mill; large mum,
Der of well managed wholesale
and retail business houses and
other enterprises. improvements
and advantages usually to be
found in a city of 5000 or more
inhabitants.
Iberia parish may well feel
proud of having within her borders
two such cities as New Iberia and
Jeanerette.

Fulton French, of Winchester, who,
the petition alleges, conspired togeth-
er to bring about the murder of MI.
Marcum.
Mrs. Marcum's fight for justice has
awakened new Interest In one OF the
grimest tragedies that has marked
the blood stained annals of the Ken
lucky mountains. Mrs. Marcum' s
troubles have held the interest and
sympathy, not of Kentucky people
alone, but OF people throughout the
United States, since her husband be-
came the victim of cowardly assassirs
and her children, five ranging In age
from eighteen to babyhood, aud one
unborn were made orphans.
In jail In Louisville, under sentence
of lie Imprisonment for the Marcum
murder and under sentence OF death
for the murder of Jim" Cockrill, is

That lett and White murdered Mr..
Marcum for hire is not doubted by
anyone who believes the testimony
on which the two men were convict
ed. That they were hired by men
who believed themselves immune

Bloody Breathitt" Is believed by a
majority of those who are familiar
with affairs In Jackson.
Whether Mrs. Marcum has In view
the possibility OF bringing out by tes-

upon which to base criminal prosecu-

question asked frequently by persons
discussing the suit.
Mrs. Marcum Is pretty little wo-
man, still In her thirties. In her
great dark brown eyes can be seen the
shadow of an ineffaceable sorrow. In
the lines which have deepened upon
her face since May S, 1908, when the
long expected news of the assassina-
ton was borne to her at her little
home nesting among the trees upon
