The Tangipahoa Shrieyalty.

The powers that be have decreed a
vacancy in the sheriff's Office OF
Tangipahoa parish on the ground
that William Afford, the sheriff elect,
had not resided in the parish long
enough to make him a legally quail
fled voter at the time he registered as
such, and a Democratic primary is to
be held next Friday, Dec. 80, for the
nomination Of q candidate to be voted
for at a special election which the
governor has called for Jan. 81
There are four candidates for the
nomination-W William Afford, John
Saal,s Renne Gaines and Eugene
Thompson-and the prospect is that
Mr.. Afford, who was fairly entitled
to the Office on the strength of his
election in April, will poll large
plurality over any one Of his com
petitors in the primary. He may
beat them all combined, and he will do
so if the spirit Of justice aud fair play
is as potent with the Democrats OF
Tangipahoa as it ought to be.

Ofcourse much larger sum might

no limit on the amount to be given by

best to make the tax a light one SO as
not to interfere with local charities or

Big Swamp School Completed.

The Big Swamp school, In the Hope
Villa section OF the parish, was for
mallv turned over to the school board
Wednesday and will at once be placed
In readiness for the opening on Jan. 8.
Hon. o. A. Bullion, on behalf OF the
people of the Big Swamp neigh bor-
hood, in an eloquent and forceful
speech presented the school to E. n.
Pugh, president OF the parish school
board, who responded in his usual
happy manner, stating during the
course of his address that he con-
sidered the new school the advance
agent Of prosperity ia school matters
il this parish. The Big Swamp
school was built at a cost OF $500, of
which amount 5000 was contributed by
the parish. The people OF the neigh
borhood, with their usual generosity
and progressiveness, raised the sum Of
$4,000 and have erected school that
would do credit TO any eommun nifty and
which they may well be proud of. The
Chief doffs its hat to them and ex-
presses the hope that their enter prise
and iberality will be productive of
much lasting good.

A Model official REFLECTED.

The new Board of Police Commis-
sioners for the city of New Orleans,
composed of Mayor Martin Behrman,
JOS. A. Hincks and Samuel Diamond,
organized Wednesday of last week
and unanimously reelected Capt.
Charles o. Donnaud to the position Of
secretary treasurer, which he has filled
with eminent ability and efficiency for
has many friends and acquaintance in
elsewhere throughout the state, who
will learn with pleasure OF the merited
recognition accorded his official and
personal worth by the new police
board, and will cordially endorse the
complimentary opinions expressed by
all the New Orleans daily papers with
reference to this subject. The SUBJ
joined extract from the Picayune is a
fair sample Of these expressions:
Charles o. Donnaud, who was elected
secretary and treasurer of the new
board yesterday, enjoys the reputa-
tion of being one of the most COM
petent officials in the public service.
His connection with the police board
dates from its very inception, and he
n as r0MaIu6Q Will III blFOuSu oil It's
changes and varying fortunes. With
each successive administr ration he has
retained the confidence and esteem Of
the new members and served them all
with uniform efficiency. Today Mr..
Donnaud is the only one of the orig
inal organization left, and although he
has had many competitors for his
place during these years, no admins
tration, no matter of what political
faith or affiliations its members might
be, has at any time felt warranted il
dispensing with his services. 1t was
mainly through his influence and ex-
ertions, and it might be said initia-
tive, that the mutual relief feature of
the department was added, and an as
ISOLATION to carry out these objects
was formed May |, 1908. OF this as
ISOLATION Mr.. Donnaud is, and has
been from the very beginning, the dis
bursting officer, and there is no insti-
tuition that has been of greater benefit
TO it's members. Prior to his connec-
ton with the police board, MIR. Dom
maud was well-known member of the
press of this city, having served at diff
ferent times on the old Times, the Item
and the Times-Democrat and only left
journalism to accept the place he now
so worthily fills.

Two Excellent Appointments.

Two of the best appointments that
have been recently announced in con-
nection with the federal service in this
state were made last month by Gen.
w. :. Behan, acting postmaster OF
New Orleans, who nominated George
V. Fuchs to the place of assistant
postmaster and George FL. Vennard
as cashier of the postofhce to supply
the vacancy resulting from the promo
tion of MIR. Fuchs.
Both appointees are well-knoWn
and highly respected native citizens Of
New Orleans, possessing superior
qualifications for the positions they
have been chosen to fill, and we are
confident they will become exceedingly
popular officials with all who are
brought into contact with them in their
new spheres OF duty. In addition TO
their other requirements and advan-
tages, the two appointees are both
earnest OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES but by
no means ''offensive" partisans-and
their selection is a credit to the Re
publican party as we'll as to them
selves, TO the postmaster and the
public service.
Mr.. Fuchs is a young man, OF
handsome appearance and engaging
manners, whose personal popularity
has attracted to him a following that
renders him one of the most influential
Republicans in New Orleans. As
president of the ninth ward club, he
made that organization effective and
harmonious to q degree not eXcelled
by any other Republican club in the
city, while his efficient and faithful
performance Of duty as cashier of the
postoffice commended him to the Re-
publican state executive committee and
Postm aster Behan as particularly
worthy of elevation to the higher
position of assistant postmaster.
Col. Vennard is an erudite scholar,
polished gentleman and an eloquent
public peaker, with a circle Of friends
and acauaintances as wide and numer-
Gus as almost any citizen of New Or
leans can boast. He was the Repub
lican candidate for congress il the
second district at the November cleo
ton, and If the result had depended
upon other and Worthier considera-
tions than mere political prejudice and
partisanship, he would have defeated
his Democratic opponent hands down.
The Chief records the appointment
of Mr.. Fuchs and Col. Vennard with
particular pleasure because they are
the kind of men that deserve to be
sent 10 the front il the public service.

The Republicans carried seven out
OF twenty precincts in Vernon parish
at the last election and tied the Dem
ocrats in one precinct. At several
other polls the vote was very close
and the Democrats only carried the
parish by 1874 majority, of which 1853
was polled at Leesville, the parish
seat, where the influence Of the local
officials and COURTHOUSE rings, is
naturally greatest. More than 400
Republican votes were cast in the adj
joining parish of Calcasieu, and
over 100 il nearby Acadia. There's
