GIRL PAYS DAMAGES.
lifted Swain Wins Breach Of Prom,
ise Suit in London.
English Court Establishes New Legal
Record - Comment Of "a Well
Known Barrister on the
Subject.

The case Of Miss Constance Van der
Bergh, who was recently ordered to
pay G250 damages for having Tilted
Frank knight, cycle dealer Of Lon
don, establishes a legal record which
may encourage other swains whose af-
fections have been slighted to go and
40 likewise
The question naturally arises, Why
shodld not a man be compensated for
wounded affections as well as a wom-
an?
According TO a well known barrister
who was asked to give his views on the
subject, the fear Of being ridiculed out
Of court has been one Of the chief fac
tors in preventing men from reversing
the usual order Of things
Breach Of promise cases in which
the plaintiff is man are extremely
rare he said, and one farthing is
not unusually the compensation award
ed in such cases by an unsympathetie
jury
TO sustain an action for breach Of
promise the plaintiff must show that
he or she has been placed in a worse
position, either pecuniarily or other
wise. after the breaking off Of the en-
gagement than that occupied before he
or she entered into it.
A woman can generally point to
trousseau or other expenses incurred
in view Of marriage If she has not
incurred these expenses she secures
moral damages on the ground that her
chances Of marriage are endangered.
If the plaintiff is prepossessing. the
jury's sympathies win very naturally
be reflected In the amount Of damages
awarded
There is another aspect of the case
which may be taken into consideration
more and more IN the future. and, In
my opinion. quite rightly
Women are competing with and
even ousting men in many branches of
business. and young men are. therefore
becoming more and more wary Of the
marriage tie and its consequent ex-
penps
Marriage, in fact, is not the only
business open to q woman nowadays.
IT, therefore. man can show that he
has lost anything by being fitted. there
is now more reason why he should be
treated in the same way as a woman
in the matter of damages"

Died.
OpelOusas Courier.

Opelousas Courier.
Jonathan Morris Reeves, aged
two years and four months, died
in McComb City, Miss, at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. II. J. Reeves.
Little Morris was the grand
son of the late J. L. Morris, of
Opelousas, La, and the only son
of T. J. Reeves and Carrie Nor
ris. He was born at Garland,
st. Landry parish, La, Feb. IS,
1902, and in January, 1903,
moved to McComb City, Miss,
when he was eleven months old.
Little Morris was the pride of
his parents hearts, and al
though he had become delicate
child, that hope that is always
ours, and the home care that
was daily and hourly given him
together with the medical atten-
ton from the best physicians OF
|McCOmb, all seem to say that
ere long Little Norris will be
well. With the marked intellect
that he possessed, the energy OF
both body and mind, and the
sweetness and gentleness of face
and disposition, all made him a
very attractive child, one to be
loved and cherished. But God
saw best, and has called little
Morris home, and now that he
is there, heaven seems brighter
and dearer than ever before,
though the earthly home is sad
and desolate and a gloom hangs
over everything, and the hearts
of father. mother and sisters cry
out with grief over the loss OF
their darling little one.

Warning to the South.
New Orleans States.

" 1J1uJk " SbbV SVSesS
New Orleans States.
Many of the Republican news
papers have asserted that what
they term the Fourteenth
Amendment plank of the
National platform of their party
was inserted for the purpose OF
holding in line the cOlOred vote OF
the doubtful States, and no at
tempt would be made in the
event of the election of Roosevelt
to carry into effect the provisions
of that plank. but the Philadel'
phia Ledger advises the Demo
Gratis of this section of the cOun-
try not to be deceived by this
kind of talk. In an article under
the caption Trouble In Sight
For The South" the Ledger
says:
1.-THE Republican programme
is to nominate a candidate in
every district in the South where
there is the least chance for
making a showing. This will re-
suit in fights. race riots, and
set the South in a condition of
turmoil not seen for many years.
The reason for this is that Presi-
dent Roosevelt. desires that the
negro race shall be given more of
a representation in Congress and
in the government of the South
than it now has. He evidently
forgets that wherever it is pos
sible to win with negroes in the
South scheming white men climb
on the cOlOred brothers shoulder
and leap into power. just how
Nj. Roosevelt intends to avoid
this is a problem. Judson
Lyons, Register of the Treasury,
the most conspicuous represen-
tative of the negro race under
the present administration, pro-
posed that in order to give the
thousands of negro votes in the
South a representative in Con-
gress a few districts might be
made up in certain States where
the negro population is in the
majority"
The Ledger also says that
acting upon the suggestions of
the President, ways and means
have been provided to nominate
Republican candidates and to
contest the elections of Demo
Gratis in Congress, hence the
Ledger advises Democratic can
didates for Congress in the
South not to regard a nomination
as equivalent to an election this
year. This is interesting so far
as it goes. There is no reason to.
doubt that the President would
like to see as the fruit of his ne
gro policy race wars and general
turmoil in the South, and negro
representation in Congress, but
how is he going to secure this
representation? He certainly
can not do 1T by means of race
wars, and as the white people
control the government of all the
Southern States, it is not at all
probable that Judson Lyons plan
to make up "a few districts in
certain States where the negro
population is in the majority"
will ever come to anything more
than idle chatter. Congressional
districts in the South are made
by Democratic Legislatures and
there is not the least prospect Of
any being created for the pur-
pose of sending negroes to Con-
.gress. Time when such things
