.G0LORED PEOPLE
N 4 FIGHT.


Last night an assault occurred ON
Pike street wherein Ed Henry, eGl-.
ored, was hit and knocked down by.
another colored man. Henry had a.
guilty conscience about something
and turned into Pike from Fourth
street with his hand on his gun, ae.
|eording to the story told Squire II.
S Riley shortly afterwards. He
saw two men Standing near the cor
ner and Immediately vent after his.
gun but did not pun il At The time.
As he did reach for it the man he
was not watching stepped up and
hit him above the eye, sending him
TO the street and cutting cash
above the optic. He got to his feet
and placed his gun against the one
who had dome nothing while theas-
sailant made his escape, He made.
before Squire Riley that
Jim Williams was the man who
struck him and Williams viii be ar
rested on sight. Another negro
named Dick Scott made a complaint
against Henry charging him With
carrfinga revolver.
Z ed Henry was tried before Squire
Gordon Friday afternoon on the
charge of carrying concealed
weapons. He was represented by
Attorneys Haze Morgan and Charles
W. Moore, while the states end was
looked after by Attorney T. G.
yiger.
Constable W. Guy Merritt was a
conspicuous witness FOR the defense
md attempted to show that the man
Henry bore a good reputation. In
,cidentally Henry himself refuted
this testimony by stating on cross
examination that he had been ar
rested twice before in this city DUR
ing the past few years for fighting.
Henry stated on the stand that he
was in deadly fear of his life from
different sources, one Of which was
the fact that William Ruffn had
named him. in divorce proceedings
qgainst his wife as correspondent.
Another reason for carrying a re-
yolver was that Tom Jones and
Henry Banks had come to him with
tales thatcertain negroes had tried
TO borrow steel knueks TO do some
one-up witli!Abut had neglected to-
say who they, were or who they had
threatened to3ao lip.
Henry further testified that he
had consulted Attorney Charles ".
Moore on Wednesday morning and
that Moore had advised him to carry
lrevolyer. This was because he was
directly interested in the election
Of Harmcr for mayor and was afraid
that someone would take a crack al
him for that reason.
sAt the conclusion Of the argp-.
ment Justice Gordon imposed a fine
1f 500 on Henry and sentenced him
% Jail for six months.

DELAY ON BRIDGE

The giving way Of some of tile
piers for the traction company's
bridge at Shinnston will likely delay
the work OF steel construction for
some time. Two Of the piers have
leaned and will have to be rebuilt.
This is caused by the foundation
not having been set deep enough.
The steel work for the bridge is now
being unloaded on the ground and
a number of skilled workmen were
there for service on the bridge but
did not remain after hearing Of the
delay that will be occasioned. The
steel work weighs about $50 tons and
viii require something like 1900
rivets to fasten it together.

IL IS often said that we have no
ane'1can - style of architecture, but
'nat need not worry us because we are
u natlon of inventors. This probably
Is the very reason why we have no one
olstlnctive style OR manner of building.
our inventive architects are continual
~ working for Improvement and they
ere succeeding wonderfully we'll.
In my experience have learned tha:
comfortable, attractive houses cost no
more to build than the ordinary struc-
lures usually seen in towns and vii
lages, the only requisite is to know
now to do 1t. The average American
cltlzen wants a house that is pleasing
IN appearance, but the exterior must
not IN any way interfere with the COM
portable arrangement of the rooms.
WhHe man takes pride in the out
s1ce appearance, his first thought
usually Is for the wife and her life is
spent inside. The good wife has the
housework to do, and American hus-
bands are thoughtful, and they are
good providers. The most popular
houses l ever saw were the most con-
veniert.
Dwellings in older countries are
heavier, usually in design, more ex-
pensive to build, not SO pleasing in
appearance, for the same amount of
rooms they usually cost more than the
ordinary American home. Of course
we have many incongruities Some of
the residence streets certainly look
very odd. There is room for improve

does not correspond with the old. 1t is
a patched garment, and it shows it.
The interior usually is damaged in
stead of improved. In most cases it
would be better to sell the old house
for barn, and build new from the
bottom of the cellar up. Repairing an
old house always is unsatisfactory.
Even in the newer streets in our
best towns there is wide difference
in the appearance of the houses. Some
are very neat and tasty, but others are
very poorly designed. 1t is not neces-
sary to cut up a house into odd shapes
to make it look good. Very often a
plain square house built in proper pro-
portions, with porch across the front
and without further ornamentation,
makes a more pleasing home both in
side and out than a more expensive
house of some fancy design. Such a
house except that the porch is built
in under the main roof is shown In the
illustration on this page.
St. Tammany farmer., 1906-08-11

stating that there is less work in TAX
ing care of the different rooms in q
square, compactly built house.
This design admits of center hall
with rooms on both sides. Such houses
may be heated by turning all the fur
mace heat into the lower hall, but l
am not saying that this is the best and
most satisfactory way to do. If a
furnace is put in the cellar of any
house, separate pipes should lead the
heat to the different rooms.
This is another one-story house with
bedrooms finished OF in the roof
gables, which is a great economy II
rightly managed. Never in the history
of building has this been done to so
much advantage as at the present time.
The scarcity and high prices of build
ing material as we'll as the increasing
price of coal combine to make such
economies necessary and they are not
only necessary but they are desirable
True economy is virtue that should
be cultivated.
