all of Gov. TerrelIs recess appoint
ments except one. The appointment
of A. S. Johnson as judge of the city
court of Newton was held up pend
ing an investigation by committee
consisting Of Senators Flynt, Haynes
and Fielder. Judge Johnson is also
mayor of Newton, and there is ques
ton as to whether he canalegally hold
both offices. It is held that the hold
ing up of the appointment does nor
nullify it, and that Johnson will be
entitled to the judgeship if the APP
pointment is later confirmed by the
senate. Judge Johnson was appointed
judge of the city court of Baker be-
fore he was elected mayor of New
ton. A special message from Gov.
Terrell asking for the consideration OF
several matters not included in the
chief executives annual communica-
ton. was read. The message included
the report of the board of arbitrator
in the claim of the heirs Of Sherman
J. Sims, a recommendation for caring
Y, az Confederate dead at Marietta,
and All appropriation to cover the de-
flcit of $4,000 in the FUNDS @f the
state adjutants Office, caused by the
Atlanta and Macon riots. The claim
of the Sims heirs began number OF
years ago when the Northeastern rail-
road was sold by the state to the
Southern railway. When the Northeast
ern railroad was first built Sherman
J. Sims and his family were given
passes during their lives for the right
of way secured through Sims lands.
When the Southern bought the road
these passes were cancelled and the
heirs brought suit The claim was
contended in the legislature for years
until last session. when resolution
was adopted providing for the appoint
ment of a board to arbitrate the
claims. The report Of the board places
the value Of the right of way at $769,
with interest amounting to $406.40.

LAYING A GHOST.

On one occasion in Scotland s
guest arriving rather late at 6
country house was quartered in the
haunted room. Although profes.
sing to be sceptic, like many
others, his courage vanished with
the light. Determined, however,
to protect himself as well as pos
sible, he placed a loaded revolver
under his pillow and awaited
events. As the clock struck mid
night he saw fleshy hand at the
end of the bed, and steadying his
nerve he addressed the visitant
thus: "If you do not instantly
remove your hand | shall fire with
out further warning" He count
ed three and then discharged the
bullet.
A howl of pain which aro-~a5
the households Co. "ed, and it was
soon discovered that the successful
marksman had shot away two of
his own toes.

WHAT PUBLICITY CAN DO.

1t was publicity that brought
about the downfall of the Louis
lana lottery. 1t was publicity thai
prepared the way for the present
investigations into the Standard
Oil. 1t was a magazine article
that stirred up all the talk about
the conditions in Panama that fin.
ally led to the Presidents going
down tn IRE himself to investigate.
Legitimate printers ink has been
foremost in the fight foI pGro fc,aa,
and for the regulation of patent
medicines. 1t can be safely said
that publicity today is the greatest
power for public good in the
country.-& F'ancisrille True

WHEN WE GROW OLD.

We grow old when we stop play
ing, according to one of the philo-
sophers, says the Courier. This is
true in a sense more literal than
that in which it was meant. We
grow old when we put our physical
selves upon the shelf and decide
that our days of bodily activity are
past. The man who is a lover of
fresh air and exercise is young
when the slug Of a fellow who de-
clines to walk except when, be-
cause of unfortunitous circum-
stance it is his only means Of COW
ering the distance between two
points, aud who looks upon all
sports as the pastime of children
and cranks, has become a fossil.
A foursome was played upon an
English golf course the other day
in which the aggregate ages of the
players was 33l years. The com,
petitoQs were SC and so on one side
and 81 aud 81 on the other. The
game was won by the former
couple, one a physician aud the
other a retired military officer.

PROGRESS OF NEW RAILROAD.

The Colorado Southern work
trains are now running through
the city of Opelousas on their own
rails, and the sight is viewed by
many every day. Rails are being
laid from here to Lawtell, six miles
west, and there is a possibility of
a continuance of this work to Euni-
ce, although as we stated last week,
the contractors will have to be
"seen" by the business interests
of Opelousas and Eunice, or else it
is the purpose to stop at Lawtell
and begin railing from Kinder and
come this way.-&. Landry Clar-

DON'T TELL ALL THEY KNOW

1t is we'll that the editor is a man
of charity and seeks the peace OF
the community. Nearly every
newspaperman has reflected, with
grim sarcasm, on the way life
could be made a burden in some
unexpected quarters if he should
get out his muck-rake in earnest.
But he never does it-or at least
not often, and then only when his
corns are stepped on. Think kind
ly of the men of the press. They
hear every thing but tell only part
of It. They resist great temptat-
ion and draw the mantle of charity
over some unsavory messes.-
