Huntsville. Sept 21.-(special.)- Richard Rison. only son of Archie L. Rison, president of the W. R. Rison Banking Company was found dead to- night in the rear ofiec of the bank with a bullet through hIs heart.

The body was scratched out on his back, with feet under the teie- phone and a small calibre pistol lying close by. half smoked cigarette was on the floor.
 The suicide theory Is not believed by relatives, as the young man had no reason for self-destruction and the nature of the wound would have allow ed him a few minutes of life.

The Public Ball Evil.

An examination of the crimi-
nal docket of the court disclOses
the fact that the major part of
crimes committed in the parish
originates from the public ball,
which is made the rendezvous OF
all the bad characters of the
neighbOrhood. Year after year
Grand Juries have made this
subject a feature of their reports,
and have condemned the prac-
tice and made recommendations
in restraint of the public ball.
When it is considered that
this form of public entertain
ment is prolific source of family
and community feuds, not in
frequently ending in the loss OF
human life and the consequent
expenditure of considerable
sums of pubic money in criminal
prosecutions, it must be re-
garded in the light of a serious
public evil calling for rigid
measures for it's abatement.
The Police Jury has in its
power to make and enforce regu-
lations to mitigate the harmful
effects of public balls on the
population, or. better still. pro-
hibit them altogether. 1t is to
be hoped THAI the Jury will take
some decisive action in this mat
ter as the guardians of the public
interest. and in this action they
will have the sympathy and sup
port of all the good people OF the
parish.

we approve or condemn these
conditions that make such things
possible, it is cold fact that we
are bound to face and that we can
no longer leave out of our calcula-

good things, but banks which do
not prosper or that are compelled
to close their doors on account of
an insufficiency of business, have
