On COMMERCIAL BANK
Capital Traction Sold at 142 5-s, and
looked to Be Plentiful Around
That Price.

1T was rather an of day for business
on the local stock board. Too much hol-
iday may have accounted for the dull
ness. as there was a decided lack Of
commission business and the profess
sionals were not disposed TO enter upon
any large commitments on their own
account. a new high record was made
for the stock OF the COMMERCIAL Bank,
wanted at the Sane figure. That IL will
reach 2OJ in a short while seems TO be
fully believed and its friends assert that
IL is well worth thsyS price.

tiful around 1925, and about leo shares

MAKING PROGRESS
ON THE RATE BILL
Senator Tillman's Support
ers Have Grown Suspi-
ciOuS of ConfereeS.

The conferences on the railroad rate
bill have thus far been Of rather a ten
tative character, with fhe two interests
apparently feeling each otkeI out, each
trying TO determine what the other
wants and what is likely 20 ce the pro
posed basis Of agreement.
A good deal OF fun was poked at the
Senate proposals in the early meetings;
House members wondered whether the
Senators knew what their own amend
ments meant, and whether they were
sure they meant anything.
Senator Tillman's supporters are sus-
picious OF all the movements OF the
House conferees. They fear some sort
of effort TO emasculate the bill, under
the guise Of improving and redrafting
parts of il. The Senator himself, for
example. is not satisfied with the anti
pass amendment; but he declares fatty
that either it will stay in or else some
thing plainly better and more effective
Will be inserted in its place. The anti
pass principle is going 10 be enunciated
in the bill. he declares.

Sheriff Pellerin has published
last week list of delinquent IL
cense payers, which he says is the
first time that such list has been
furnished to the tax collector by
the assessor. He says Sheriff b.
don has never been furnished with
such list, and such licenses have
never been collected. 1t looks as
if there is something mysterious
in this list. If such licenses are
due and can be collected why did
the assessor not furnish such
list to Sheriff Badon during all
his term? Can the assessor an
swer and give reason for not fur
nishing such a list to Sheriff Ba-
don and to be so prompt to fur
nish it to Sheriff Pellerin at this
time when half of the year is al
ready passed. That list should
have been furnished to Sheriff
Badon if it is law, by the assessor
every year, and at the beginning
of the year. But it seems strange
the law in this respect has been
entirely overlooked during the b.
don's term of office and it is rush
oil at Sheriff Pellerin in the mid
die of the year. This is a matter
that should be looked into. Ii
these licenses are due, and have
not been collected simply because
the assessor has failed to comply
with the law in this respect, ht
should be responsible for the loss
and he should be made to feel tht
responsibility.

A Good Law.

One Of the good laws passed by
the last Legislature went into eff
feet yesterday is what is known as
the "Pistol Toter's" Act. passed
by the recent General Assembly.
The court records show that this
law will touch II larger number of
persons in the State, as the habit
of carrying pistols has been a "a
Their general one. This law that
becomes effective this week pro-
vides that any person who shall
carry a weapon, such as a pistol,
a bowie knife, dirk or razor, shall,
upon conviction, suffer fine OF
not less than 500 nor more than
$500, and Imprisonment not less
than sixty days or more than six
mouths in the parish Jail. If this
measure Is enforced the officials
claim that it will break up to p
large extent the habit of carrying
concealed weapons. The district
judges, by the terms of the act,
are directed to specially charge
their juries in regard to the provi-
sions of this law, directing them
to look into all violations. Sheriffs
and deputy sheriffs. town marshals
constables and policemen are the
only ones that are exempt from
the provisions of the act.
Ii the officers of the law attend
to this matter and the people who
know of such violations report
them, this concealed weapon habi,
will soon disappear.

BAYOU and the few small bushes
that have recently sprung up there
do not reach the path of steam
boats. And again here is some
thing she wrote which shows that
her watchful and sometimes mis-
leading eyes are not always on du-

or tree in walking distance. But
the hotel was a comfort. There
We had rested, things looked diff

to reach the hotel she probably
