AS CUSTODIAN OF RETURNS OF
PRIMARY ELECTION.
WAS UNANIMOUSLY CHOSEN.
BY Representatives of Senator Car

an Agreement in Short Time-com-

Choice.

In accordance with the resolutions
adopted by the State Democratic
Committee for the government of the
Senatorial primary election on May
IL, the two representatives of each
candidate heretofore selected, met on
Tuesday and selected the fifth mem
Der of the Returning Beard of the
Primary. Geo. H. Armistead and w.
w. Og,lvie, representing Senator Car
mack, and James ]. Bean and Gen.
William NJ Brandon, representing
Gov. Taylor, held a meeting Tuesday
and within a very few minutes unan-
imously agreed upon ex-Gov. James
D. Porter as the fifth member of the
Board.
Under the rules OF the State Com
mittee it is provided that there shall
be a committee of five which shall
have the custody of the returns of the
primaries as transmitted by the COM
mittees of each county. Four men,
bers of this committee were to be Sc
lected from the membership of the
State Democratic Committee, two by
each candidate 1t was further pro-
vided that in the event there was 2
failure to decide upon the fifth mem
Der then the Chief Justice of the SUI
preme Court should be selected. 1t
was not anticipated, however, that
there would be any trouble about
reaching an agreement and this prov
ed to be the case. The high charac-
ter which Gov Porter has sustained
is sufficient guarantee that in the
evert of a disagreement between the
partisans of the candidates that the
issue will be decided as fairness and
justice shall dictate.-Nashyille

Imminent Separate Conventions Are

PULASKI, Tenn, March 23.-"Wild
and Woolly" is the only term that
will adequately describe the proceed
ings among the Democrats of Giles
County here today. For a time it
looked like there would be serious
disturbance which babe fair to ter
inmate in a riot. Not in all the his
tory of the Democratic party in Ten
nessee has there ever been a more
strenuous or stormier meeting held
than was witnessed today. The ami
nal in the man was aroused TO that
pitch of excitement and passion was
inflamed to that extent probably new
er before known in a meeting in this
county. 1t was like a mine of dyna-
mite, all that was needed to cause
the biggest political riot ever known
in the State was the spark. But for
cooler heads and calmer reason on
the part of the leaders of the contend

serious would have been the result.
In such an assemblage, with pas
sion and prejudice run mad, and rea-
son on the part of the rank and file of
both sides are apparently dethroned,
it was almost inevitable that the con
vention should terminate in a split
and the Democratic partyz--in Giles
County is rent in twain. Two dele
cations will demand admittance to
the State Convention, and that body
will be called upon to decide another
contest. The vote of Giles County
placed in the contested column makes
the total therein 800, or within a few
of 25 per cent. of the total vote OF
the convention, with over 800 dele
gates yet to be selected.

Columbia suffered a heavy loss by
fire Monday night in the almost total
destruction of Geo. w. Nichols stock
of groceries at his store on North
Main street and the plant of the Maui
ry Democrat next door.
The loss will reach total of prob
ably S13,50O, with $500 insurance.
The fire started in Nichols grocery
and was discovered soon after IL
o'clock burning in the upstairs to-
wards the rear. The fire department
responded promptly to the alarm and
rendered most effective service, es-
pecially when the infamable char
acter of the goods in the two estab-
lishments is taken into consideration.
The flames soon spread from the
grocery to the upstairs of the Demo
crat office and burned fiercely, pract-
ically destroying the type and equip
ment in this department of the office.
A fire wall on the south saved the
Mitchell-Ashley Hardware Co., and
was of material aid to the flremen in
their work.
The lower floor of the Democrat
office was flooded and the stock OF
paper and stationery in this depart
ment is largely a loss, though the
large newspaper press, valued at
something over $1,000 is very little
damaged.

burned to a large extent and the re

LOCAL OFFICERS CATCH SAM
WALKER, coLoRED, WITH
THE GOODS ON. HAS
LONG BEEN SUS-
PECTED.

City Marshall Webb and officer Jim
White made an important arrest Sun
day in that of Sam Walker, colored,
who has been suspected of bootleg
ging for many years.
Evidence was obtained against the
negro by accident. Will Stephenson
and another negro were arrested in
drunken condition Sunday and when
questioned as to where they got their
whiskey, admitted that Walker sold 1t
to them. The officers went to George
Browns barber shop under Ritter's
grocery on Eighth street and arrested
Walker. They found several bottles
of whiskey in the negroes clothes and
found two gallon jugs of whiskey in
the shop Walker had neither Fed
eral, state or city license for the sale
of whiskey and was fined $50 by the
city, while the federal and state of
lenses is still to be accounted for.
He is being detained awaiting bond
or the payment of his fines.
George Brown and VIII Johnson
were fined $25 each for keeping their
barber shop open on Sunday, while a
warrant was taken out against Brown
charging him with completely in the
sale of whiskey, and he was fined an
other $500.
Walker, is it said, has been selling
whiskey without license for seventeen
years.

Schools and Roads First.

A mass meeting was held in
Franklin last week to protest
against the appropriation of the
Police Jury of money for the
building of a new court house.
A number of objections were
offered in the form of resolutions,
the last two of which refer to
two subjects which are of par.
ticular interest to the people of
Lafayette. for which reason we
reproduce them and also the con.
Guiding paragraph, as the &C
count appears in the Waterman:
"Sixth-That the public roads of
the parish are and have been in a
wretched condition for many years,
and that the funds to be derived from
taxation should be devoted in great
part to their working and mainten.
ance: otherwise litigants and others
interested cannot reach the court
house, whether old or new. unless af-
ter a period of long drouth.
"Seventh-That We consider it the
paramount duty of the Police Jury to
improve the public roads, and estab-
lish and maintain proper school
buildings, and to maintain a better
system of schools"
Upon the unanimous adoption of
the above resolutions, it was moved
and unanimously carried that the
meeting resolve itself into a perma-
nent Good Roads and Schoolhouse
League, and that the president of
the meeting appoint the officers of
said League, which was done. The
following officers were appointed: DR..

Scott Notes.
There was a fair attendance at
the st. Peter and St. Paul
church, when the new pastor,
the Rev. Father T. NJ. Detche-
mendy began the celebration of
his first mass at Scott Sunday
morning. The choir, under the
direction of Miss E. Breaux
rendered an excellent program.
Rev. Father Detchemendy made
a few remarks on the rules he
wished observed. Among other
things he said that he would
teach catechism in French and
English, that in the future
Sundays low mass would be
said at 7:3O and high mass at
9 o'clock and that he would
administer baptism at the
church on Saturdays and Sun
days; all other days he would
call at residences whenever
sent for. Father Detchemendy
created a profound impression
on the members of the congrega-
ton present, and the congrega-
ton will cooperate and aid him
in the good work which he will
announce later on.
After a period of unusual
quietness, Scott school again
appears in The Advertiser.
The long expected arrival of
those much needed desks has
been again unavoidably delayed.
We believe our demand exceeds
the supply.
After an illness of over three
years, Mr.. Reynold Bergeron
died Sunday morning at nine
o'clock. Mr.. Bergeron was a
Confederate Veteran and one of
SCOTS oldest citizens.
Mrs. j. Bob Daniels and Dan
Beatty visited relatives in Grow.
ley last week. Mr.. Beatty re-
turned Saturday and Mrs.
Daniel and baby, Russell, this
morning (Monday.)
Mrs. Louise Doucet and sons,
Arthur and Percy and Mrs. A.
Judice. visited Jennings Satur-
day and Sunday.
We are glad to learn that a
successful operation was per-
formed on Mr.. Emile Begnaud
who has been i'll for the past
seven months.
Scott and neighboring towns
are being awakened by Father
Detchmendy's popular girl con-
