The Puttyblower.
From the New York Sun.

Il don't know when I've seen a putty
blower before" said middle-aged man,
who had just been telling of seeing a
small boy blowing putty balls from one as
he rolled along an 9Th avenue car.
And there appears to have been some i'm
provement in putty blowers since 1 was a
boy. We used to have just q length of tin
tube with a wad OF ordinary putty wrapped
around the middle OF 1t for a stock to
draw upon. but this puttyblower had q
wooden mouthpiece fitted on over the end

just the plain. pale drab putty that we
used to have. but terra Gotta colored. &c.

Slavery in Portuguese West Africa.

l.
Portuguese planters are not a bit worse
than other men. but their position is pern-
GUS. The owner or agent lives in the big
house with three or four white or Whitley
brown overseers. They are remote from all
equal society. and they live entirely free
from any control or public opinion that
they care about. Under their absolute and
unquestfoned power are men and women.
boys and girls-let us say two hundred m
all We may even grant. IL we will, that
the Portuguese planters are far above the
average of men. Still say that II they
were all archbishops of Canterbury 1t
would not be safe for them to be intrusted
with such powers as these over the bodies
and souls of men and women
Slavery has an unpleasant name, and I'M

But have met no one in the country who
denies its existence In the form have de-
scribed. and am now on my way to visit

Railroad Election

Next Tuesday, Nov. "A, an elec-
ton will be held by the property
taxpayers of Covington, on the
question of levyiDg a special FIVE.
mill tax for ten years, or so much
thereof as may be nece ssary, IN aid
Of the Baton Rouge, Hammond and
Eastern Railroad. No amount of
the tax will be levied until the
railroad is completed and in active
operation. The full particulars
will be found on the first and
eighth pages OF the FARMER. Rail
roads are great developers of the
country, giving increased facilities
for trade and travel, and invariably
enhance the price of real estate.
The petition for the election is al
most universally signed, and the
prospect is that the election will be
carried by large majority, both
in numbers and property valuation.
We have a fine railroad north and
south, and all we need is one run
nlng east and west, to make Gov.

been under the present, manage.
ment for the past twenty seven
years. During that time many
changes have taken place, and
signs of improvement and progress
are visible on all sides. As in the
past, tie FARMER will continue to
champion the cause of Democracy
and good government, and labor
for the welfare and improvement
of our towE, parish and State.
That our humble efforts of the past
have been appreciated is shown by
our largely increased subscription
list, and we shall labor to deserve
and receive a atiIl greater patron
age. by advocating such measures
as we believe will result in benefit
to the whole people. With these
few remarks, we will proceed with
the new volume, hoping that the
succeeding pages will record still
greater improvement all along the
line, and that we may all be here
at the close, ENJOYING the blessings
of health and prosperity.

Highest Duty Of Citizens.

One of the most important du'
ties of citizens of popular repre-
sentative government is to take
due aud active share IN the conduct
of public affairs.
Tbis duty, expressed in it's brief
est form, is to vote intelligently
IN all public elections. Citizens
who habitually neglect or refuse
to vote do not deserve to be trusted
with the rights and privileges OF
citizenship, and it would be onlv
just that they should be deprived
BY law of all such benefits and ad.
vantages.
These remarks are suggested by
the fact that citizens who shall fail
10 pay their poll tax before the lst
Of January, 1905, will not be able,
because they will not be allowed
to vote IN the congressional elec
tions of 1906, or any other State
or city election that may occur
next year.
Paying the poll tax is absolutely
required in the premises, and every
citizen who intentionally fails TO
do it before the expiration of the
present year will deliberately dis
franchise himself.
1t should be remembered that
the poll tax goes exclusively to the
support of the public schools, and
every citizen ought to feel the
urgent importance of contributing
to them.
The citizen who pays his poll
tax before or by January l, 1906,
will be performing a solemn duty
and an important benefactiou.

A ST. TAMMANY HOTEL
BIG DEAL SAID TO HAVE BEEN
PUT THROUGH.

Times-Democrat, Nov. 4, 1905.
From information received here
Yesterday it is extremely likely that
the dreams and hopes of the Parish
of st. Tammany for the location Of
first-class summer and winter re-
sort within its boundaries are about
to be realized.
1t is learned from reliable sources
that options have been closed for a
large tract of land in. St. Tammany,
along the New Orleans Great North
ern, upon which the purchasers ex
pect to erect a magnificent hotel.
The capitalists behind the new
project hail from Pittsburg and
other northern cities, and 1t is re-.
ported that they plan to invest in
St. Tammany not less than $400,-
900 for lands, hotel buildings, i'm
provenents, amusement facilities,
etc. A large portion Of this su:o
will go into the constru ction OF the
hotel, and for the furnishings and
equipment of the structure. No
expense will be spared to make the
new resort one of the most luxuri-'
GUS and attractive in the South.
Early next week. it is learnsd.
the proprietors will leave the North
10 a special car for New Orleans,1
whence they will 60 to st. TammanyI
to complete their arrangements. It
is understood that the plans for tue
buildings have been tentatively
agreed upon, and that work will be-
gin in short time. with q view %
having the hotel in operation next
year.
In addition to the hotel PROPOSE
ton, the company will, it is uGder'
stood, develop its lanes, devoting
a portion OF the tract to truck farm.
ing, and it is said to be the present
intention OF those behind the deal
to raise upon the property all the
vegetables, truck. fruit, ETC., need
ed for use in the hotel kitchen in
addition to operating theft own
dairy, etc. Whether the truck
will be carried on more ex-
tensively than would be necessary
to furnish their own table could not
be learned yesterday.
The report bears all the earmarks
Of authenticity, and there is every |
reason for believing it we'll
grounded.
The st. Tammany resorts, With
heir present limited accommoda-
lions, have already achieved . vide
popularity, and with the impetus
hat the new hotel project will give
% them. it is believed that they
will begin to take q leading place
the Southern resorts. The
climate Of the trans.lake regicn is
amous for It's bealthfulness. while
IS numerous springs have already
.ained note. Given adequate ho-
el accommodations. 1t is believed
hat an enormous patronage can be
developed within comparatively
hort time.

No one ever succeeded 10 life by
dragging along and pulling back,
fearing that they would do more

hustle and do more than their share
who succeed, and when they are
rich people say they have got more

have it.
