DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
TuE NEW COURT HOUSE

There Is no denying the fact that The"
determination Of the Board Of NupcrVi-
sors to build a new court house is meet
ing with the hearty appreciation q the
citizens and taxpayers Of the county.
II is equally evident that a large
majority Of our people favor the pur
chase Of adjacent property and the cree.
ton Of q public park around the new
building,
That which is worth doing at all is
worth doing well, hence it would be
exercising poor judgment to erect "a
handsome and costly building ia 0 small
lot, where It would not show of to ad-
vantage, and whore the people Of the
county would not have the comforts
and convenicnces which moro spacious
and easily accessible grounds would
afford.
TmR COMMONWEALTH has no desire to
appear over insistcnt. We all want q
now court house, and wo want it as
o o as possible. 1t is not amiss, how
over. to offer suggestions to the Board,
hence we want to urge upon the Nom
berB Of that worthy and honorable body
the Importance Of purchasing the Maryo
property which car be had at 4 price
to be paid by a jointly appointed board
Of appraisers.
Sooner or later the county will buy a
larger lot. 1t can be had now cheaper
than ever again.
Lenorc County is amply able to have
a court house and grounds second tt
none in the State and THE COMMON.

Supervisors will make a mistake if II
chooses to ]cconomi2e in the purchase 81

building.

GOODBYE. Mr.. NIGER,

Tho Houston Post, onc Of the ahlcst
newspapers in the cotton belt Of Texas,
says;
There are fewer negroes working in
the southern cotton fields now than
there were in 1850, when the crop was
about a third Of what it is today, and
the negro population less than half, and
every southern planter knows that the
number is constantly growing less,
while tho acreage Is constantly inrrcas.
ing. The southern white man is nearly
independent of negro tabor in making
cotton and the time is rapidly coming
when he will be wholly Independent,
Here in the Delta, however, there is
no disputing the fact that negro labor
is still a large factor in the production
Of cotton. A great many years will
clapsc before he Is entirely supplantcd
by the white man, but that time is sure
to come sooner or later.

Lafayette Square Theater.

Miss Bob White" was sung last night
before an audience at the Lafayette which
lost no opportunity to manifest its appre-
citation of the comedy tricks of diminutive
Frank Deshon and his elongated associate,
]. l.. Mcclure. The disparity in the stature
of the two funmakers was an essential
factor In the instantaneous success scored
by them The interest in the humor of the
production tended to relegate to secondary
Importance the tuneful score by Willard
Spencer. and the best efforts of the singers
were received with Indifference. The catchy
waltz movement of the second act finale,
however aroused the audience to sponta-
neous applause. The company presenting
the opera was evenly balanced. Mr.. Deshon,
in the leading comedy role, was remembered
for his previous stock company achieve
ments in this city, and received an enthu-
siastic welcome. In his fun-making through
out the evening he quite lived up to the
expectations of his admirers. He was ably
seconded by the tall Mr.. Mcclure, whose
comedy dovetailed nicely with that of his
principal Cecilia Rhoda sang the role of
Miss Bob White In a manner most pleasing,
her work being characterized by a self-con-
fidence that was reassurng. There was
unusual local interest in the appearance of
Alice Kraft Benson, a young woman OF
this city in the soprano role of Goldenrod.

DECISION AGAINST OWNER.
Contention Over Removal of Dead Beast
From a Well,

The District authorities have been called
upon to decide the momentous question
as to whose duty it is to remove a ccw
from a well-the owner of the beast or
the Washington Fertilizer Company, con-
tractor for the removal of dead animals.
The authorities decided that the owner
of the dead COW is it
According TO the story of the case re-
lated to the authorities a COW belonging
to citizen of the northwest section of
the District, in the county became tired
of the monotonous and ceaseless turmoil
of life upon earth and sought surcease
from its troubles in a large WELL The
plunge into the cold water was too much
for the unfortunate and misguided beast.
and after fOundering around in the bottom
of the we'll for a few moments "bossie"
ceased her struggles and succumbed to the
inevitable.
When the garbage collector passed in the
vicinity of the well the owner of the beast
and of the premises commended that 1t was
the duty of the garbage collector to pull
the dead body out of the well and cart
1t away. The manager of the garbage
company however. took a different view
of the case. and held that it is the duty
of the citizen to make the bodies of dead
animals accessible.
The two sides of the case were presented
to the District authorities, who sustained
the contention of the garbage company
and the owner of the COW was informed
that he would be required to get the body
of the beast out of the well.
