| This session promises to be an unusual
" interesting one because of the trouble
between the Gamers ard the jobbers
The season of 1907 has been probably
the worst in the history of the canning
industry, so far as ,he delivery of goods
and the collection of money are concern
ed. 1t is freely charged that jobbers who
| heretofore occupied high positions in
trade circles have not hesitated on &C
count of bubbles to reject full standard
goods with the hope that a settlement
at lower price could be effected. This
was of course made possible because the
ket was considerably depressed by
the recent panic In many cases where
the goods have been taken without
question, the jobbers have not compiled
with the reasonable terms of payment,
but instead have allowed bills to run
sixty CT ninety days without payment.
On the other hand the jobbers have a
side of the story to present and it is
thought that the whole question will be
mu1h benefited by an intelligent airing.
Hartford has always sent her full quota
Of attendance at these meetings, and
while Cincinnati is the furthest point
from here that any meeting has ever been
held, it is more than probable that on
account OF the keen interest felt in the
present trade situation. there will be
large local attendance. The meeting
comes at a season when business will
permit Of the Gamers absence and he
properly looks upon this as a we'll earned
holiday which gives a favorable oppor-
tunity to combine business and pleasure.
The officers of the association are

HAS AVOYELLES VOTED?

Bunkie Review: The Honorable ]. Y.
says that Avoyelles parish could be
counted upon to give me a handsome
majority.
Mr. Sanders has certainly been i'm
posed upon by some of his friends in
Avoyelles. and The Review hastens to
correct the imposition. 1t would be too
bad for Mr.. Sanders to count SO heavily
on "a handsome majority from Avoy-
elles" and then find at the last moment
that the majority" was hoax. The six
or eight men who attended the Sanders
meeting at Melville were not the whole
parish of Avoyelles by any means. and
were hardly in position to tell how
Avoyelles is going to vote. Mr.. San
ders has some ardent supporters in the
parish, but the primary has not yet been
held and there is much folly in count
ing the votes before they are hatched.
AT the present time the voters of
Avoyelles are not quite ready to throw
their hats into the air and yell 'hurrah'
at the mere mention of Sanders name.

TEN REASONS
Given by the Plaquemine Protector for
Supporting Wilkinson.

We are supporting Theodore S. Will
kinson for Governor:
First-Because he is able, honorable
and upright and will do credit to the
office.
Second-Because he has always been
a Democrat and has voted the straight
Democratic ticket for nearly forty years
Third-Because this is a farming
State, and the farming interests demand
representation in the Governors chair
at least once in lifetime, and we have
not had farmer Governor for nearly
fifty years.
Fourth-Because he is not machine
politician or perpetual office-seeker
Fifth-Because, though not candi-
date for any Office, he greatly aided in
the campaign of 1904, i'll advocating the
rights and liberties of the people and
the passage of a primary law.
Sixth-Because he is an educated man
and has a clean record and large cx-
perience in public affairs
Seventh-Because he has mature jud l.
ment, and is independent and fearless
Eightfl-Because is honest and in
dustrious and can not and would not
become the paid attorney of the corpor
ate trusts and monopolies of the State
Ninth-Because he favors a reductio I
of taxation, an economical admin.stra-
ton of the government, good scho,:is,
roads, levees, the intercoastal canal and
the drainage of our marsh lands.
Tenth-And above all, because Theo-
dore S. Wilkinson stands for morality.
honor and virtue in public and private
life, and for the removal of the pitfalls
and dens Of vice and infamy which
tempt the young men of this State to go
wrong.

a suit for several thousand dollars
against street car company of that

harsh, loud and rough voice ordered
her from the seats occupied by TIE
white people to the rear of the car
where negroes were allowed to ride. 1t
seems that the girl, a young lady about
eighteen years of age, insisted that she
was not negro. but the conductor re-
fused to believe her and persisted in his
demands that she occupy seat ir the

money from unknown sources, will then
make his escape from prison. The de-
tails include a ticket to England. No
mention of the escape is to be made for
six weeks, so that he win be safe from
