LET US BE JUST.

In the interest OF fair play
The Advertiser feels constrained
to take exception to the harsh
and unjust reflections cast upon
the administration of Mayor
Gallery and his colleagues, in the
editorial columns of the last two
issues of the Gazette.
We quote the following ex.
pressiOns from the editorials in
question: Two years age
Mayor Catfery and the present
council were elected by the
closest vote in the history of the
town. During the
past two years there has been
still further Development of the
opposition until it might be said
there now exists a general and
pronounced demand for q
change" . 1.-THE merits
or dement's of the present city
administration have not been
considered, although in the es-
timation Of many affording A
WIDE AND PROLIFIC FIELD FOR
EXPLOIT, Capitals ours).
AS will be remembered, on
January 10, the G. o. MOuton
ticket was nominated at a mass
meeting held at the court house
and q set of resolutions adopted
declaring for radical changes in
the conduct of city affairs, and
pledging administration without
favor or Partially" AS
IS well known, the G. O. Mouton
ticket is constituted of men
thoroughly antagonistic to the
policy pursued by the present
council" The only
thing remaining for decision is,
how this change shall be effected:
which ticket presents the
strongest assurance and best
response to the popular demand,
the one formed of long avowed
and open opponents of the city
government, or the ticket formed
under the auspices and sup
ported by the staunchest friends
of the TOWERS THAT be- Capitals
ours). If the voter desires a
perpetuation Of present methods
and policy. let him vote the
Young Mems ticket; if ON the
hand, in common with a
majority Of the people he
desires . change let him vote the
G. O. Mouton ticket straight
there is no middle ground for q
mugwump in this contest"
1t il simply q waste of
time to tell any intelligent man
who got that ticket up (the
Young Mems ticket and what
have controlled and
will continue to control the
policy Of the ticket. Shall the
thing formed say to him that

light plant were not sufficient
and could not be expected to
provide water and light service
for every portion of the wide
area included in the corporate
limits Of the town, all at once.
For several years the special tax
and the reveI ues from the
waterwOrks and electric light
plant had to be drawn upon for
remedying defects and making
necessary repairs on account of
wear and tear and accident, for
which, of course, the city cOun-
Gil could not be held responsible.
A new boiler and pump, another
dynamo and still other new and
expensive machinery had to be
added to preserve the efficiency
of the plant. Another we'll had to
be drilled and the old ones clean
ed out and repaired. and q large
water reservoir constructed to
insure an unfailing supply of
water. There came also the i'm
perative demand for furnishing
water and light to the Industrial
Institute, and .afterward an ex-
tension of the water mains and
electric light service in other
directions, justifying the conse-
quent outlay of money which
otherwise would have been ap-
piled to the payment of the
bonds. The improvement of the
principal business streets of the
town and their maintenance, re-
quiring several thousand dollars
worth of oyster shells. The pur-
chase of a large and extremely
desirable plot of ground for a
suitable public school building,
of which our children are in dire
need. The widening of JEFF
ferson, Vermilion and Lafayette
streets upon the petition of
citizens and with their co-opera-
ton, accomplished under difficult
ties and at great cost, but contri-
buting enormously to the pub
lie convenience and advantage.
Liberal appropriations for the
public schools, the fire depart
ment and other worthy objects.
And it is highly proper to in
clude in the mention of their
valuable achievements, the
opening of street which very
greatly facilitated commitment
ion between the town and the
Industrial School, and which, at
the same time greatly enhanced
the value of contiguous lands.
Also the substitution of sub
stantial and ornamental concrete
walks, for Objectionable plank
walks. These and numerous
public Improvements of . minor
class, all redounding directly to
the public benefit by promoting
commerce, and upbuilding the
social, educational and industrial
interests Of the community, could
not be accomplished without an
expenditure Of large sums of
money, nor without drawing
heavily on the revenues from
the special tax, which was
levied not only for the purchasing
Of q waterworks and electric
light plant, but also to provide
for the maintenance and extern
sion Of the plant.

PARTISAN POLITICS.

PARTISAN POLITICS.
The Advertiser, in it's earnest
desire to protect the public vel.
fare, strongly opposes the in.
PRODUCTION of partisan politics in
the management of public affairs.
Every citizen who is concerned
in the municipal government OF
Lafayette has a direct personal
interest in preventing, as far as
possible, the harmful and OBJ
structive influence of partisan
politics from entering into the
public administrator of the
affairs of the town.
Partisan politics, because it
plans and concocts only for
individual or for it's own advant-
age, naturally and necessarily
exerts q most detrimental infu.
ence on the general progress of
the country. Business, educa-
tional and all other public in
terests are made to suffer, il
needs be, rather than that the
beneficiaries of partisan politics
should lose their present or
prospective grip on salaries and
other perquisites Of public Office.
This is q fact too well known to
require further elaboration.
It being true that the primary
object and final aim OF partisan
politics, in the last analysis, is
ohice-getting and perpetuity in
ofice-even at the sacrifice of
the public interests whenever
occasion demands would
seem to be the part Of ordinary.

countenance and overcome, as
far as possible, IN influence or

tagonistic to the welfare Of the
people.
II is . strong point in favor Of
the Young Mems ticket IN the
present municipal campaign,
that it does not represent the
IDEAS or interests OF any par
ticular political faction and, con-
sequently, Is in . position to deal
with public questfcps free from
bias or political pledges or
obligations, and purely from !
patriotic and disinterested stand

AS candidates for municipal
Offices on the young mems
ticket, we have publicly declared
that we are not the candidates or
the nominees of any political fac
ton, and that our ticket was
formed without the instigati0n
or Intervention of any individual
politician or set of politicians, and
is offered to the people wholly
upon it's own merits.
We published this fact that our
true position before the public
might be understood. and be-
cause we wished to expose the
falseness of statements to the
contrary which were being made
by opponents for the purpose Of
encompassing by this means, If
possible, the success of our ticket
at the polls.
As respectable and respected
citizens of this community we
believe our word on this point is
worthy of being accepted by all
honest minded men, and ought
to be sufficient to outweigh the
maliciously false and contempti-
BILE charges and assertions di-
rected against us by Mr.. R. c.
Greig as editor of The Lafayette
Gazette. and we challenge him to
furnish proof of the "incontro-
vertible facts" upon which he
would lead the public to believe
he bases his charges.
We have no reason to feel
ashamed of any of our friends
and supporters in this campaign,
but rather feel honOred by their
confidence and good will: and. we
welcome into our ranks all citi-
zens who believe in the honesty
of our declarations and inteu-
tons, and who have faith in our
ability to administer the public
affairs of our town in 9 prOgres-
sive and businesslike way and
for the good Of all.

Only few days more and the
democratic primary will be mat
ter of history. There are. only two
real contests that for sheriff and
County Court Clerk and these are
proving somewhat spirited as the
finish approaches. All of the as
pirants for the offices are good,
honest clean men and either if
nominated will be entirely worthy
ofthe support of the voters in II
general election. IT is our policy
under conditions. like this to steer
clear of any fight Tor the interest
ofany candidate until the nomi
nations are made. When this is
done our earnest and hearty sup
port shall be given to the ticket
and we feel that the ticket will be
elected from end to end.

seems probable.
In 1902 when Lawrence County
named man for the nominee for
Senate the executive committee of
Giles did not endorse him and
when the votes were counted his
majority in the county was 33 in
stead Of over 1000 because of the
intense feeling on temperance then
in Giles, Notwithstanding he had
been chosen by the democrats of
Lawrence by over two thirds of the
votes cast and by over two thirds
Of the delegates to the nominating
convention, lie only won Ivy 26
votes. This convinces us that if
we are looking for harmony among
democrats and we should want
that, we must respect the will of
the people and give all a voice in
The nomination OF candidates. for
the Offices if we are to have ques-
tons of such Importance in which
there is such general interest before
the legislature as this Senatorial
fight will certainly be. We do not
believe it will make any difference
ms to results whether we have a
primary election for Uuited States
Senator or not, SO far as that con-
test is concerned. The people are
for Bob Taylor in Tennessee and
they will certainly have a hand in
naming the men who will repre-.
sent them regardless of past agree
Iments and understandings made
by the politicians. This will
bring on a fight That will be mem
CRADLE in Tennessee politics and
will open the field for the election
of a legislature similar to the ONT

The indications now {

he lndlcatl0uS now clearly |
point that there will he no pri-
mary for the choice of a United
States Senator. The Carmack
machine doubtless has it in it's
power to determine the question
under all the circumstances and
we can see no evidence of any in
tention on its part to call the pri |
mary or endorse it, The agitation
of the questian has developed that
Gov. Taylor would have remark
able strength before the people IN
primary, SO overwhelming in
fact that already those newspapers
which began the clamoring for
primary and who few weeks ago
announced that "Carmack would
win" begin now to agree that the
good Of the party demands that
there be no primary held. This is
not true. II is the good Of Senator
Carmack which demands that
there be no primary held and he
and his fri6nsd see it. Any SANE
man knows that the party will be
worse disorganized and in worse
condition if the machine which so
recently outraged the State with
the snap caucus election of Fra
zier refuses to give the people
what they demand and what the
democratic party has on several
occasions in State and Nation de
elared fora right to speak for them
selves as to U. S. Senator. The
party will be more greatly damag
ed by carrying this Senatorial fight
into the legislative elections than
BY any primary. Agreements as to
legislative succession will he dissol.

Feeding Bees in the Cellar.

Sugar syrup may be given to bees
in the cellar with the regular division
board feeder. It would be advisable
to put the feeder in the middle of the
brood nest; but better way would be
to give the bees cakes of hard candy.
The candy should be made by boiling
granulated sugar syrup, with a little
honey in it, so that, when cool, it will
form into hard, translucent cake. A
two or three pound brick of this when
put on top of the brood frames will be
enough to take care of any colony
short of stores.
The question as to whether the emp
~ sugar should be put on top will
depend largely on the size of the en-
trance. If it is one inch by the width
of the hive, take OF the super and put
the cover on top next to the frames. If
the entrance is only three-eighths of
an inch deep it may be advisable to
leave the super on, putting in chan
cushion. In this case the cover should
be left of. In the absence of the
cushion any old carpeting may do as
well.-Gleanings.
