AFTER WORD. We dislike to
play tell tale but in justice to-correct
chronicling political expressions,
must inform our readers that the au-
thoc of the above b. .onGs to the gen
tier Sex and hence is not entitled to
fanchise. We infer that she used the
clause a5)1t her vote in gen era
terms. And further, we suppose that
by now the young man who used
that rash remark in his speech, re-
tiecting on the good sense of the
Vardaman wing of Mississippi Dem
ocracy, has regretted it, since the
vote count showed this persuasion
of Mississippians to be lacking but a
few hundred being as strong as the
Williams crowd. Still more: Those
who should know, being present and
good judges, tell US that Heidelberg
made stirring good speech in be-
half of Vadaman on the day referr-
ed to at Washington We fling in
these addentas in good feeling, but
it was do this or turn the contribu-
ton down. Ed.

Governorship came to Leakesville
Monday. He intended to make a
speech here on that date, not know
ing that Circuit Court had been pre-

to be very talkative old fellow, and
enjoyed listening to some of his re-
miniscences of our Legislatures in
days gone by.

Political Rally at CIalvex.

A grand fair and political rally
was held at Galyez last Saturday aft
ernoon for the benefit of the building
fund of the Galvez graded school, and
proved an unqualified success in every
particular. The assem5lage was pre-
sided over by w. "A. Sibley, candi-
date for the legislature from this par
ish, who introduced as the first
speaker Hon. ]. Y. Sanders, the only
gubernatorial asptrant in attend ance.
Mr.. Sanders spoke along the usual
lines, expressing confidence in the out
come OF the primary and explaining
the principles for which be stands
and which are embodied in the plat
form issued by him at the outset of
the campaign. He declared that he
had said nothing against the person
atty of either of his opponents, and
that he does not intend to do so. He
urged his friends not to indulge in
any personalities whatsoever, no mat
ter what the proyocation might be,
and requested them to assist him in
carrying on a clean, decent Demo-
cratic fight. He further stated that he
repudiated the support of any man
who attacked the personal character
of either Col. Wilkinson or Gen. j as
tremski. These sentiments were wildly
cheered. In conclusion Mir. Sanders
expressed his thanks for the warmth
OF the reception accorded him, and
for the numerous offers of support he
has received from the New River sec
ton Of Ascension parish.
State Senator P. M. Lambremont,
of St. James, and Judge S. Med.
Lawrason, of East Feliciana, candi-
dates for lieutenant governor, were
also present and spoke briefly.
Immediately after the meeting Mr..
Sanders drove to Burnside and
caught Mississippi Valley train for
New Orleans.

YoT Kippur.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement,
was strictly and solemnly observed by
Bikur Cholim Congregation on Tues
day and Wednesday last, the 18th and
18th insts. All places of business con-
Quoted by Jewish merchants were
closed in honor of the notable feast,
and large congregations gathered at
the localsynagogueto participate in the
interesting ceremonies peculiar to the
occasion. Divine services we're held
at $50 p. N. Tuesday and throughout
the entire day Wednesday,, beginning
at 10 o'clock in the forenoon and con-
tinuing until the stars began to glim-
mer in the evening. Rabbi M. Klein
officiated and delivered several eloquent
sermons, which ELECTED many express
sions of esteem and appreciation from
his admiring hearers. At O'Clock p.
N. services in memory of departed
members of the congreg alton we're
celebrated in a most solemn and i'm
pressive manner, and at their conclu-
sion the entire congregation rose and
recited the ''Kaddish, ~ the usual
prayer in commemoration of those
who have gone before, to the accom-
paniment of solemn symphony. A
special choir rendered beautiful solos
and exquisite musica selections appro-
pirate to the sacred occasion.
Yom Kippur is the most important
feast in the Jewish calendar, and the
one most generally observed by He
brews the world over. It is the tenth
day of the month Tishri, the first
month in the New Year, and marks
the end of the penitential period which
began with the celebration of Rosh
Hashono. Am ,ng the orthodox He
brews Yom hIppur is observed as
solemn feast. For the full twenty four
hours there is total abstention from
food and drink, and the time is spent
in prayers to the Lord for forgiveness
from the sins which have been COM
mitted during the year. Besides max
ing peace with his Maker, the Hebrew
must be at peace with all the world
before entering his house of worship.
Sukkoth, or the Feast of Taber-
nacles, will be celebrated next Mon
day, the 23rd inst. Services will be
held at $50 o'clock Sunday evening
and 10 o. clock the following forenoon,
and the public is cordially invited to
attend

Weather and Crop Notes.

The following paragraphs are Dor,
rowed from this weeks Ascension
letter TO the Louisiana Planter:
1T begins to look. as though the
summer is over and fall is ION the job,
for there has been quite decided
change in the weather during the past
several days and marked absence
OF the sizzling temperatures which
characterized the fag end of August
and early part of September. While
it may be taken for granted that some
real warm days will be experienced
before the heated term makes it's final
adieu, still it is believed that the back
bone OF summer has been broken and
that the melancholy season of the sere
and yellow leaf is on its way.
Refreshing showers have fallen
throughout the parish at frequent in
tervals during the present week, prov
ing of inestimables benefit to the fast
growing cane crop, which had begun
to suffer little for want of moisture.
The crop is now making rapid pro-
gress under the influence of almost
perfect weather conditions, and bids
fair to be one of the largest turned out
in this parish within recent years.
Cotton picking is the order of the
day in the seventh and eighth wards,
as we'll as in other localities where
this crop is cultivated to any extent.
As had been expected, the yield is APP
proximately % to 80 per cent less than
was obtained last year from the same
acreage, but this shortcoming is more
than compensated for by the greatly
increased prices at which the heecy
staple is selling.
"The work of harvesting the rice
crop has been brought to successful
termination in Ascension and adioin-
ing parishes. A fine yield was OBJ
tanned and excellent prices realized,
and the season will go on record as
one of the most suspicious and pros
porous in the history of rice culture
In this section of the state.
HThe corn and hay crops have been
harvested and stored away and fall
blowing is occupying the attention of
the field forces on the various sugar
hereabout.' -

An InfantiIe Plea.

The esteemed Shreveport Times
pleads the baby act in behalf of it's
party when it claims that 1.-The fee sys-
TEN is legacy inherited by the Dem
ocratic party in this state from the
Republicans who plundered helpless
people in the period Immediately sue
ceeding four years of devastating
war"
The Democratic party has had COM
plete and nndisputed control of the
state government of Louisiana in all
its branches for more than thirty
years. If it couldn't rectify wrongs,
correct abuses and accomplish neces-
sary reforms in all that time, when in
PHYS sake can such consumm alton
be expected under Democr attic auspieesp
Il the excuse offered by the Times
for the shortcomings Of the Louisiana
Democracy was all true, which it ism It.
the plea must be characterized as very
infantile indeed.

Verdict for DR.. Pierce
AGAINST THE
Ladies' Home Journal.

Sending truth after a lie. It is an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven
leagues while truth is getting it's boots
on" and no doubt hundreds of thousands
OF good people read the unWarranted and
malicious attack upon DR.. r. v. Pierce
and his Favorite Prescription published
in the May 1904 number of the Ladies'
Home journal, with its great black dis.
play headings, who never saw the hum

spicuous heading, published two months
later. ltwas boldly charged in the sland-
erous and libelous article that DR.. Pierce'S
Favorite Prescription, for the cure of
woman's weaknesses and ailments, con-
tanned alcohol and other harmful ingredi-
ents. DR.. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for 500, 900, 60 damages.
DR.. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter witty the intent Of injuring his
business Furthermore, that no alcohol, or
other SPURIOUS, or habit-forming, drugs
are, or over were, contained in his "Fa-

These facts were also proven In the ffIaf OF

business Of DR.. Pierce was greatly injured by
the publication of the libelous article with
Its great display headings, while hundreds of
thousands who read the wickedly defamatory
article never saw the humble groveling re-
