The Weevil Quarantine.

The State Board Pest Commits.
sion has established quarantine
against the pest infected parishes
that is, cotton seed from an infec-
ted parish cannot be taken or car.
ried in an uninfected parish.
This week our people were sur
prised to learn that cotton seed
from St. Landry parish could moi
enter the limits Of St. Martin Pa
rish, and this announcement eau
sed Iome uneasiness to our cotton
seed oil mill men. The st. Mar
tins Oil Works here have a GIN
merry at Arnaudvile which is just
across the parish line, the two pa
rishes are only separated by Ba-
yous Teche aud Fuselier. The
Breaux Bridge Oil Mill also. we
understand got large supply of
its seed from st. Landry Parish.
The weevil we understand has
appeared in the northern part OF
the parish, while the cotton that
comes to Arnaudville is from
the extremely southern part, Ar
naudville being right on the line,
half of the town being in st. Mar
tin parish, and this seed is qua
rantined at the parish line.
Quarantine may be wise, and
may retard the coming of the wee
vii and protection offered to the
farmers of St. Martin, but we fear
that when the weevil reaches the
southern part of st. Landry, St.
Martin will be very seriously ex-
posed TO the invasion of the pest.
Since writing the above the COM
mission has modified the quaran-
tine to allow seed from Arnaudville
and Sunset to enter st. Martin pa
rish.

Negro Whipped by Law.

A telegram dated September
22nd., from Wilmington, Delaware.
says:
Before the eager gaze of nearly
500 persons, Cbas. Conley, the me-
gro who was few days ago sem
fenced to fifty years Imprisonment
and to receive thirty lashes for
committing an atrocious assault
and battery upon Mrs. Beatrice
Franklsh and her daughter, Miss
Gussie Leitch, two weeks ago, was
publicly whipped today in the yard
of the Newcastle Workhouse.
While there have been many
whipping at the Jail in the past,
none attracted tire interest as that
OF Conley's. More than two thou
sand persons clamored for admis-
sion to the work house yard, which
was too small to accommodate all
Of them.
Conley walked to the whipping
post and stood without tremOr as
his wrists were fastened into the
iron bracelets. Warden Meserve
took his position, and with the
crowd standing with breathless at
tention, administered the punish
ment. The heavy whip, with its
nine leather tongues, each about
sixth of an inch in diameter, fell
across the culprit's bare back with
force that raised large welt.
This was repeated thirty times, au
assistant warden monotonously
keeping audible count. Couley
never uttered a sound until tie
sixteenth stroke, when an agoni-
zing "Oh" was forced from bis
lips and was repeated.
Till the last blow fell upon the
quiyerlug flesh, although the lash
es were well laid on. they were
carefully distributed so that no
blood was drawn.
The mans back, when the casti-
CATION was completed, was mass

he was released but WAS able to

The Pure Food Law.


DIR. G. III. Irion, president of the
State Board of Health, has fur
missed comprehensive outline of
the pure food law to u committee
of the Retail Grocers' Association.
The grosers were represented by
President I. G. King, j. P. Ham.
iiton, Dave Hochstein, Secretary
j. S. Fineran, Martin j. Gull and
f. Clay Viguerie, editor of The
Louisiana Grocer.
Mr.. Hamilton is president and
general manager Of the Balleio
Grocery Company, and he asked
that the law be explained, for tho
grocers were buying goods for fu-
ture delivery and they did not
want to violate the law by having
some goods which were not up to
The standard He stated that the
Srocers knew the National Pure
Food law, bat not the State law.
DR.. .rion explained that the
irion pure bill was modified on the
national law The law becomep
effective on jan l, 1907, aud the
Louisiana law will probably be en-
forced no earlier than this date.
1t has long been said that Lou.
lslana was the dumping ground of
all the impure food and udalterated
preparations, but this will be so 10
longer.
The lrion law will be par
iIcularly severe on mishranded
articles. In fact, their sale and
MANUFACTURES will be prohibited,
aud the person or persons putting
such foods up will be vigorously
prosecuted. Coffee which contains
too much ehicory and is branded
coffee will not be allowed tog be
psnced on tho market. The
Board Of Heal,h may allow the
use of a certain percentage OF
cblcory mixed with coffee, but any
amount used in excess will be cou-
strued as a violation of the law uu-
less SO branded. Articles which
contained harmful adnIterants will
also be prohibited, and all adul-
terated articles shall be go labeled
SO as not to deceive the purchaser.
Molasses mixed with glucose and
packed in tins aud bottles shall be
marked to show the presence in
the package of the glucose. These
are only a few of the many cases
which will come under the law.
Dr. lrion impressed npon the
necessity of exactipg
the guaranty from shippers and
Jobbers IN order to exempt the re-
tallers from prosecution. How
ever, he said the board will weigh
matters very carefully, and will
always take into consideration the
circumstance in all complaints.

A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
Stirred by Violent Death Of James

PITTsBURG. Nov. l3.-Emboldencd
by the apparent helplessness OF the po'
lice aud detective forces OF the city,
the highwaymen and burglars that
have terrorlzed this city for the past
ten days have apparently extended
their operations into broad daylight as
well M working under cover OF dark
ness. At 4 o'clock In the afternoon at
the corner OF Sixth avenue and Wood
street, one OF the most crowded spots
In tho heart OF the city and within
few hundred feet OF police headquar-
tiers, Mrs. A. q. Boykln was assaulted
and robbed by two men, who made
their escape.
Tho men had been following tho wo-
man. according TO her story, and as
she turned the corner they separated.
One hurried In front OF her. while an
other walked Immediately behind. The
latter grabbed her about the waist.
while the man In front wrenched her
nun and purse from her hands and
made of. She was thrown 10 the side
walk and sustained severe bruises.
After reporting the matter 90 the police
Mrs. Boykln was taken home, where
she is suffering from the Injuries and
shock. There Is no clew TO the assail'
ants.
In the meantime trade and business
organizations are holding indignation
meetings and drawing up petitions 10
the mayor and the police officials. The
murder OF Harry Smith In the east end
by burglars in the early morning has
aroused that section, and last night
meeting OF the east end board OF trade
was held, at which u vigilance commit
tee was appointed.
A resolution warning citizens to arm
themselves and recommending the pur-
chase of several bloodhounds was pre-
ssnted TO the board, and this was re-
ferred TO the newly appointed commit
tee for action. The regular meeting OF
