STINENCE:.
REQUIRED or MoToRMEN ON
MONROE, LA, RAILWAY.
First One Municipality Owned and OPP
Grated in United States-Con
structed From Profits.

MONROE, La, July lin choosing
motormen for what is said to be the
first municipality owned street railway
in the United States, the street rail
way of Monroe, Mayor A. A. Forsythe
last night said that the first test for
fitness for this position will be total
abstinence from all intoxicating
liquors.
Il am not Prohibitionist," said the
Mayor in making this ruling, but it
is absolutely essential that men occu-
plying these responsible positions
should be sober, and strictly re-
liable, and only those who are on the
water wagon and keep on it will be
employed
1t is expected the railway will begin
operations in a short time. A remark.
able feature is the fact that it's con
struction has not directly cost the tax
payers a cent, all expenses being de
frayed by revenues from the city's
municipal waterworks, electric light
plant, wharves and other municipal
| ~ owned public utilities. Monroe has
about $4,000 inhabitants.

BIG WHEAT CROP.
W. ?. Ridley Threshes 1900 Bushels
From $50 Acres.

This has been a year of big wheat
crops in Maury county. The yield has
not only been large, but the quality
has been excellent. w. P. Ridley, who
finished .threshing Wednesday, made
doubtless the largest crop in the coun-
ty, threshing 1900 bushels from $50
acres, or little over 80 bushels to the
acre. Other large crops were made
by w. NJ. Cheairs of Spring Hill, Mr..
Martin of Spring Hill and DIR. j. G.
Woodland on the old Bethel farm. One
of the best average yields of the year
was made by Messrs. J. w. Howard
and Frank Dale on the Webb Ridley
farm on the Mt Pleasant pike. These
gentlemen threshed $500 bushels from
! 100 acres or an average of 3S bushels
to the acre.

Mr., CARMACK
TO LECTURE

LECTURE ON CHARACTER" IN
COLUMBIA ABOUT MAY PATH.

The directors of the Columbia YIN.
G. A. have had in contemplation for
some time a treat for the people OF
Columbia, in that of having Senator
Carmack deliver his great lecture on
Character" at this place.
Mr.. Carmack has delivered this lee
ture at many places in this and other
states and the press and public have
expressed nothing but highest appre-
citation wherever he has appeared.
A committee from the Y. M. c. A.
waited on him during his recent Visit
to Columbia and he kindly consented
TO lecture here whenever the commit
tee should wish. While the time for
the lecture has not been definitely
decided, it will be some night of week
after next, probably on the evening
of July oath.
The lecture has been revised and
somewhat changed from the lecture
delivered on the same subject last
year. and is said to be even better
Every one within reach should make
the opportunity to hear it. 1t is worth
great deal to people of all ages and
conditions. but is an inspiration espec
tally to young men, and every youns
nan possible should be present.

SKILL AND CAUTION.
Displayed by Aged Pilot of suez Canal
Commented On.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-While it
was predicted by some that the dry
dock Dewey would never be able TO
pass through portions of the Suez Ca
nal. which are only slightly wider than
the great dock, the aged head pilot
of the canal, A. Papa, knew different
ly and it was his skill and caution
which made it possible for the Dewey
to get through the tortuous waterway
in such satisfactory manner, accord
ing to a report of the trip just made to
the Navy Department by Commander
H. H. Hosley who had charge of the
Dewey and the fleet which conveyed.
Although Papa is very old and was
so i'll that he should not have attempt
ed the work, he assumed full charge
of the Dewey's canal trip. The old
man was under medical attention dur
ing the two nights the Dewey was in
the canal. He resolutely directed the
tugs, which were towing by means

ed successful. For many years all
ships bearing crowned heads, members
of royal families, or other distinguish
ed persons have been piloted through
the canal by the venerable head pilot
whose service has been almost indis-
pensable to the company that his pro-
posed retirement and return to Greece,
his native land, is regarded by the ca
nal officials with extreme regret.
Commander Hosley sent the old pi-
lot a letter of appreciation and in his
report to the Navy Department, the
American officer suggests that some
trophy be given to Papa.

Couldn't Send a Bale of Cotton.

"'Way back in the early 7O's, just
after | had started in the business,
said Tom A. Pinson, Il was working
for a railroad in a little town in Ar
kansas. One day a typical Arkansas
country youth of about twenty-five
years blew into the Office. lie was
tall and lanky; dressed in homespun
Jeans and was barefooted. He told
me he had never been in town be-
fore, and the great interest he dis
played in everything he saw backed up
his statement After watching me
pound the key awhile he asked me
what I was doing. l tried to explain
to him, and told him that could send
anything to any part of the country
over the wire.
do you mean to say you can send
things over that wire?" he asked.
Il assured him that I could.
He went outside, and after looking
long and carefully at the wires strung
along the poles he came back and
said: THAT wire might do to send
letters and small packages, but you
could never make me believe it is big
enough 10 send a bale Of cotton.-Com-

RUSTY GUILLOTINE
HASN'T BEEN USED FOR MANY
YEARS PAST IN PARIS.
Curious Situation Created by Demand
Of Condemned Man That His
Head Be Chopped of.

NEW YORK, July IA cable dis
patch to morning paper from Paris
says:
Il want to be guillotined. They
condemned me to death and they shall
execute me. I'll have none of their
pardons. There is no reason for a re-
vision of my sentence. Paris has not
seen an execution in ten years and
am going to give them the sight free"
This declaration was made by Pierro
Adam to the prison authorities and
lawyers, who were trying to persuade
him to appeal for communication of
his death sentence for murder, He has
resisted the persuasions persistently
for three weeks and clamors to have
his head chopped off, yet the authori-
ties do not comply with his wish.
The position is a curious one. AS
the law stands it prescribe3 tFat
cutions shall be public, but since the
guillotine was moved some years ago
from the notorious Place de la Rou-
uuette, the local officers everywhere
have successfully resisted the at
tempts to secure a new site and the
guillotine has lain idle in shed, the Of
ficers of justice not venturing to offend
any part of the city by insisting uron
its erection. They have consequently
persuaded every person condemned
to death to appeal for communication,
which has been forthwith granted.
Adams unprecedented refusal creates
dificulty. A public execution invar-
iably leads to a disgusting carouse
and misbehavior by the scum of the
CITY and the establishment of the gull
Iotine anywhere without the assent OF
the authorities representing the re-
spectacle citizens would inevitably
arouse anger. Hence the reluctance
to carry out death sentences. Bills
are under discussion alternately legal
izing private executions and abolish
ing capital punishment, and Adams
novel attitude may lead to the passing
of one or the other.
