OBITUARY.

IDied, at her residence near Morganza
on January 8, 1904, after long illness,
Mrs. E. 4. MATTINGLY, wife OF John Z.
Mattingly, aged 70 years.
No mother now, for she has gone
To that land OF rest,
Where all who trust in God
viii be forever blest.
God has called to Himself,
And TO Him We most humbly bow,
Yet in our aching hearts we know
We have no mother now.
But we trust in Him above;
We know the promise that il given.
Ii we cannot see her here
We can meet her there in heaven.
BY HER DAUGHTERS.
Died, at the residence OF her parents or
January 3, 1904, ELIZABETH MAGDA.
LENE, youngest child OF C. Joseph and
Mary L. Wood, aged year, Z months
and 26 days.
Our sweet and darling child whose smile
Made bright our home all hours,
Amind the cold Of winter time
Has left US with her flowers.
We miss her in the place of prayer
And by our hearth-tires bright:
We stop beside her bed to hear
Once more her sweet goodnight.
There is a shadow in our home.
There is gloom within,
For Magdalene's smile no longer cheers
The hearts that might have been.
By HER AUNT H. X. Ii.

The Legislature.

Up in Annapolis the Senatorial
contest is waxing warm and from
newspaper reports it is hard 70 find
cut who's who. The ISHa claims
everything for Raynor, butt is diff
cult to find upon what grounds it
basis its claims by reading its re-
porls. II is asserted that an effort
vas made 20 force through the Demo
cratic caucus the nomination Of Ber-
nard Carter for United States Sena-
tor and the program was blocked by
an adjournment secured by the votes
G. 30 Smith adherents. 10 Raynor
delegates and 4 supporters OF Elk
Governor Jackson. On the 18th the
vote is to be taken in the two Houses
and as il is viva voce it will demon
strate how many supporters each
candidate will have to start with.

this burden on tobacco growers.
Under existing Law the department
rigidly holds that the least change
in the form of raw tobacco as it
comes out OF the barn is ''manufac-
turing"
If farmer stems hand. or
twists or presses il, In any wise
changes il from its form in the ma
tural hand, he becomes a manufac-
turer and must either take out .
license and conform 10 the various
and onerous requirements of the law.
or he Is prosecuted and fined and
imprisoned as q felon. He is not
permitted to prepare his own pro-
duct for market nor participate in
any profits. The law delivers him
bodily over to the trust. Tobacco
growers everywhere are urging the
relief afforded by Mr.. Gaines bill.
SIS
From the action taken by several
of the southern states, it looks now
that the treaty with Panama would
be ratified by the Senate. The peo-
pie Of the South undoubtedly wanta
canal that they have so long been
denied by the Vaccinations of the
transcontinentaI railroads and the
help OF the co-adjutors, the repub-
licans in Congres- They are emf
nently right in wanting acanal. II
means much for them and their
future. but they ought not 20 tie the
hands Of their Senator's in Congress
in the matter of this ratification.
II Panama were the only place al
which a canal could be built, they
perhaps would be justified in telling
their Seniors that this Is the last
chance aud we must have the canal
no matter how many commandments
we fracture in getting it.
But this is not only not the only
place where q canal can be built,
but there was law on the statute
books for the construction of a canal
at Nicaragua, and the money already
appropriated for it. There was moi
the shadow of excuse for the rape oil
Colombia and the birth Of the bast.
ard Panama republic. The rape
was committed, and the bastard was
born for the reason that the rail
roads wanted the canal as far away
from the United States as it was
possible to get it provided there
was to be a canal whether or no
and because the republican party
was to get campaign fund of five
million dollars out OF the ten million
promised to Panama. These arr
two excellent reasons from a repub
lican standpoint for looting a neigh
Dor republic of one OF it's province:
or states. While il is true we al
can recognize a bastard child as :
fact and an entity, and not quarre
with it because Of its illegitimat,
birth, yet we all condemn the Grim,
of bastardy. For that crime tn,
| republican administration should b,
punished by the people OF the coun
try. The treaty should be turnet
down. Instead Of allowing the Pre-
sident to say to the democrats in th,
, Senate that it is up to them to ratif.
} the treaty or get no canal, the.
should defeat the ratification Of tn
treaty and then say to the Presiden
that it is up TO him TO obey th
, Spooner law and go to Nicaragua o
get no canal. II the treaty is rati
fed il will have been done by tn,
workings OF the commercial con
sciences OF the people OF the country
