The Lieutenant-Governor was
given lesson in parliamentary
rulings and tactics by his chief,
in the Fiscal Agency episode,
last Wednesday, that he won't
find in the old books. These
rulings will form the basis of a
new set. The Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor would have broken the
quorum, but he couldn't. In
silence, he played with the box,
and in amazement he saw one
concern get two-fifth of the swag
against the one-ffth that was
allotted to each of the three
other concerns. He returned to
the Crescent City much richer in
experience than when he came
up.-The People.

Headquarters Louisiana Dlvl-
sion, United Confederate Vete-
rams.
New Orleans, La.
Dec. Is, 1905.
General Orders No. ~
|. 1t was announced in Gen
eral Orders No. 6 that the post
poned Convention of this Divi-
sion for 1905 would be called for
future time. 1t was found in
expedient to hold this Conven-
ton in November, and a consulta-
ton showed that January, 1906,
was more convenient date than
December, 1905.
II. Therefore, the fifteenth
annual convention Of the Louisi-
ana Division, United Confederate
Veterans, is hereby called to as
semble at New Orleans, La, in
Memorial Hall, No. 933 Camp
Street, at 1880 p. m., Wednes-
day, Jan. II, 1906, for the cleo
tion of a commander for the cur
rent term, and for such other
business as may be then pre-
sented. This hall has been Sc
cured for that evening, and also
for Jan. Is (Thursday) and Jan.
19 (Friday), for day or night
meetings, as may be desired by
the Convention, should it be
found necessary or expedient to
use it for that time.
III. All camps are urged to
send representatives, that there
may be more than mere quorum
for the transaction of business.
Our ranks are rapidly depicting,
and every camp should be repre-
sented, rs matters of historic in
terest will come up for considera-
ton.
w. Officers of such Camps
as may have neglected this duty
are urged to send in to the Adju-
tant General and Surgeon Gen
eral the reports which have been
called for. No matter how small
your Camp may be, it should be
kept together until disbanded by
time. No matter how far you
may be from the place of meet
ing, you should be represented,
if only by one delegate.
'. The State convention OF
the United Sons of Confederate
Veterans will assemble in this
city during the same time that
our Convention is held, and it is
hoped that our numbers, as we'll
as our zeal in the cause of Con
federate history, will be such as
to encourage them.
VI. The National Convention
and grand reunion of United Con
federate Veterans will meet in
New Orleans in 1906, and we
should endeavor to make such
arrangements as will bring every
vereran of our command to that
assembly, where so many may
meet for the last time to grasp
the hands of comrades who shared
each others hopes, disappoint
ments and dangers in the patriotic
| struggles of 1861-1865.

Death of Judge Allen Barksdale

Judge Allen Barksdale died at
his home in Ruston Monday,
December 18th. In the death of
Judge Barksdale Louisiana lost
one of her most useful citizens.
The Judge left record as Con-
federate soldier, an officer and a
patriot that any man might be
proud Of. He filled several posi-
tions of responsibility and in each
one of them he met the require
ments of the law and the ex-
pectations of his friends.
The Judge was personally un-
known in this part of Louisiana
until the last campaign, when he
visited here as a candidate for
Lieutenant Governor. He made
host of friends then and won
the respect and esteem of his
political opponents, and the ad-
miration and affection of his
friends who gave him a substan-
tial majority over his opponent
who was d native of the Attaka-
pas country and backed by the
full force Of the machine.
The Judge had a keen sense of
the ridiculous, full of infinite jest
and humor, and the echoes of his
hearty laugh linger as Il sweet
memory, not only to his old army
comrades who will soon follow
him over the great divide, but to
the younger generation, with
whom he was equally popular.
He was the highest type of
Southern manhood and his place
will be difficult to fill.
Requiescat in Pace.
The maxim that "Common law
is common sense legalized," "
doesn't always apply in civil law
communities; but Attorney Gen
eral Guion seems in his opinions
to the various departments to find
laws that conform with common
sense. His decision that title to
sixteenth section school lands,
purchased years ago for less than
the legal limit of 1925 an acre,
can now be quieted only by re-
garding the payment originally
made as a part payment account
of the present market value of
the land, is certainly common
sense. Even better, it is of the ut
most benefit to the various school
boards throughout the State
And there is poetic justice in
that the public, defrauded in ef-
feet when the sales we're made,
must now obtain redress mani
fold in order for the titles to be
quieted.-B. r. Times.
