 Taking into consideration the sur rounding influences brought to bear upon the life and character of, this orphaned boy, he stands forth to day the brightest and most worthy character of them all Few boys with all the noble. sweet and inspiring in- huences of mother, father and home, supplemented with wealth and its at tendant advantages have outstripped this beardless boy In life's mad strug- gle for supremacy; honest, brave and true, conscious of no designs himself, he suspects none i'll others. single handed aud alone, he has prepared and fitted himself for the position he now occupies. Walker Seaborn is no politician. He possesses none of the soft, purring, glamoring characteris- tics of this class of men. Like Mark Anthony he is nothing but a plain, blunt man. We all know him and as the most of his life has been spent in Telico township, and like the grand old Telieo.we are. when we are weigh ed in the scales of justice We will not be found wanting Here's To you, Walker May success and honor at tend your every effort are the prayers of those who till the soil and drive the busy narts Of trade in tue grand old taMnsMip of IeIIc0.

PROTECT THE COTTON MARKET
Headquarters Southern Cotton Association.
Atlanta. Ga. Oct g 1q0-

Atlanta, Ga, Oct g, 1907.
 The United States and especially the south must depend upon the pres ent cotton crop to protect the fnan- cial situation and maintain values this season. The variation of one cent a pound in the price of cotton means loss or gain of sixty millions of dollars III the currency of the country. The present fight for the maintenance of high level of prices for spot cotton must be made on the broad and busi- nessltke principles advocated by the southern Cotton Association, which appeals for the active cooperation and united efforts of all the people. no matter what their business or. profes- sion. The cotton growers ali over the south are doing their level best 10 hold back the staple from all already artihcially depressed market. They cannot be expected single-handed and alone To meet and successfully de feat the organized brain and capital of the organized world. embraced in the spinner, buyer and specuator. It Is the clear duty of every banker. merchant and other professional or business interest in the south favor able to the maintenance of high prices to line up by the side of the growers in the present struggle and render such financial assistance and encour- agement as will enable the growers to win. Spot cotton is too low, and is being artiticially depressed by manip- ulation and misrepresentation. The financial troubles in Wall street are purely local and due almost entirely to oyerspeculation and the floating of valueless securities by some of the banks and trust companies.
 If the advice of the Southern Cotton Association is adopted and the pres ent determination of the farmers to market the crop slowly, is adhered to, the financial situation in the south will remain solid and secure. We here by call upon every business interest in the south to rally to the holding move ment. It is the only plan that will win and force the price of cotton to advance. The price of yarns and cot ton fabrics is abhormalIY high and the demand for cotton goods practically unlimited. The price of spot cotton, under existing tfade#eondjtions is ab- normally tow, and the supply of the raw material will undoubtedly be de tieient, from the present crop, To meet the heavy demand Of consumption during the next twelve months.
 Hold fast, and i1auy selling k done. let the movement to the market be slow nder thi, plan the prices ad- v1eated hy the Association UiH be realized

Contest Ends I'm Suit.
James r. Bradley Asks for $40, 900
Damages.

In petition filed Monday in the
Civil District Court Henry r. Law
Ter is made defendant in a $40, 1000
damage suit by James r Bradley,
of st. Tammany Parish.
Mr.. Bradley AYERS that recently
he had a land contest entered in
the United States Land Office
against an entry of lands made by
John P. Mohr. and that during
the pending of this contest the de
fendant, "from motives of hostill
ty" to Mr.. Bradley and through
friendship for MIR. Mohr wrote a
letter to Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock, in which, among other
things, Mr.. Lawltr is alleged to
have written that possibly Mr..
Bradley is identified with lumber
interests and sharks, and that it is
the timber on the homestead Of Mr..
Mohr that has brought about this
contest"
What purports to be copy OF the
letter by Mr.. Lawler to the Secre
tary is incorporated in full in the
petition. In this copy it would APP
pear that the defendant wrote that
as he understood "the object of the
Isw, IL is for the protection OF
homesteaders, and not for lumber
grabbers and rolling stones hunting
up land to enter where there is tim.
Der upon 1t to justify the necessary
expense and that Mohr did mol
have money to employ illegal tai
ent," such as Bradley, but that il
he did, "we have not the least dou b
that he would be able 10 send few
pages of testimony going to shoN
that the contestant in This case
Bradley has had more lard en-
tered, either 10 his own name o.
by men hired and paid by him
than would give homesteads to ont
hundred families"
The plaintiff alleges that the allie
cations contained in the Lawle
letter are ''false and malicious, ,
and that they charge the petitlone
with the commission Of clim'
within the Revised Statutes OF th'
United States.
The plaintiff AYERS that he knew
nothing of the writing of the lette
until February last, although /
bears date November 8, 1905. HI
prays for judgment against Mr.
Lawler, as stated.

Many Pension
Checks Returned
Applicants Fail to Give
Correct Address.

The state Board Of Pensions has
compiled a list of the persons
whose pension checks have been
returned to the Secretary's Office at
the Capitol by the various post
masters in the State on account of
nondelivery. There is a Inst OF the
checks returned from the Septem-
Der distribution and also one for
the January distribution just made.
What reasons exist for the non.
delivery of these checks the board
is not able just now to ascertain, as
the missing parties have not been
heard from In any manner whatso-
ever.
As the applications Of the per
sons to whom the checks are mailed
have been approved by the board
and as the amount is due them
monthly according to law until the
board is notified that through death
or otherwise they are no longer en-.
titled to receive the apportionment
due them the vouchers must be
made out each quarter, and in the
event that the parties can not be
located by the postmasters the
checks must remain to their credit
until called for or disposed of in
some legal way.
The board is extremely deslroue
that those entitled to these checks
shall receive them. 1t is probable
that many of these checks have
misscarlied on account of the re-
moval of the pensioners or, which
10 most likely, the miscarriage IL
due to the failure Of the pensioners
to give the Office of the board their
correct address or to fail to notify
the secretary of the board of thei1
change In address when removing
Another cause of the failure of lht
checks to reach the right parties Ii
due to the fact that the street anc
number of the pensloner Is elthel
omitted or negllgently given.
The secretary of the board hal
requested the newspapers through
out the State to assist IN locating
the missing pensioners by publish
ing the list of names of those wh'
have failed to call for their checks
as the board realizes that this i
the only way that the matter cal
be placed before the people of al
sections of the State.
Among the list of pensioner
whose addresses are wanted, "
note the following from 81. Tam
many Parish: Mrs. Martha b
Cook, Covington; Mrs. Samantha
