The Law to Enforce Contracts
Based on Cultivated Lands.


Based on Cultivated Lands.
In some localities we learn that
tenants and laborers have aban-
doned their crops on account OF
the poor outlook, and the law to
enforce contracts is being invoked
to require them to remain. Here
in Grant parish, where the crop
outlook is said to be more favor
able than in most localities, We
have not yet heard of any cases OF
abandonment, but in some OF the
parishes they have been having a
good deal of trouble on this score.
The law applicable to the case is
Act No. 81 of 1906, and will be
found pretty strong and quite COM
prehensive in its provisions. 1t is
as follows:
Section |. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State OF
Louisiana; That whoever shall will
fully violate a hire, tenant or share
contract, conditioned on the culti-
vation of land in this State, upon
the faith of which contract money
or goods have been advanced, by
leaving the employ of the person
or abandoning the land, the sub
ject Of the contract, without first
rendering to the person by whom
said money oil goods was advanced,
the amount of money or the value
If the goods obtained; shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof shall
he fined in a sum not less than ten
f$l0) dollars nor more than two
hundred $4,000 dollars, and in de-
fault of the payment of the fine
shall be imprisoned in the parish
Jail for not more than ninety days
ut the discretion of the court
Section2. Be it further enacted
etc, That whatsoever shall wilfully
interfere with, entice away, intimi,
date or induce hired person, ten
ant or share hand to leave The
service of the employer or to aban-
don the land the subject of the con-
tract, or who shall knowingly take
into his employ any such person
before the expiration of the con.
tract, shall be deemed guilty of p
misdemeanor and upon conviction
shall be fined in a sum not less
than ten ($l0) dollars nor more
than two hundred (S200) dollars
for each offense, and shall be liable
in a civil action for damages t.
double the amount of any debt due
| by said hired person, tenant OF
share hand to the person, who had
made the advances.
Tie provision of the law seems
to include pretty we'll all contracts
Conditioned on the cultivation oil
land" upon which money or goods
have been advanced, and it seems
to be 80 strong there is no escape
from its penalty. The two sections
above quoted constitute double
barreled shotgun, that can be used
with equal effect not only upon the
party abandoning the crop but also
on the party who knowingly
takes such persons into his employ
We are pleased to believe thai
few it any crops will be abandoned
in Grant parish, because conditions
here do not warrant such despera.
| ton. In fact, the fine weather oil
the past week has put our farmers
in quite a hopeful frame of mind
aud we believe all danger on this
score is about over. However, il
is well for all hands 10 know the
law on the subject, and We quot.
the law as timely topic for con
sheraton.

day Mr.. W. F. Williughby was riding
along in a cart when his horse became
frightened at something-perhaps :he

cart and considerably injuring the
driver. In addition to that two men
who were walking by Cypress Swamp

noises that were not at all 10 their

AFTER MATH OF STATE FAIR


A number of Durham people who at
tended the state fair were very unfoT-
tunate, and were victims of the pick
pockets There have been several Incl
deats of robbery reported that indf-
cate that the pick pockets were nu-
merous. Major w A Guthrie was
among the number and one of the
light fingered gang succeeded in TAX
ing his walking cane and a purse, but
the latter was empty with the ex-
ception of a few papers. Major and
Mrs. Guthrie were going up on the
grand stand in the rush to hear Nh.
Bryan speak. and when he stopped a
short time to show his ticket, the pick
pocket snatched his cane from Under
his arm and his purse out of his
hip pocket. The purse contained a
note on the decision of the supreme
court in a case in western state 1t
will not lie likely that the thief Will
have occasion to refer to this in a
legal way. 40 doubt it was a casual
surprise when he found the purse to
be empty.-Durham Sun.

NEGLECTED COLDS THREATEN
LIFE.
From the Chicago Tribune.l

"'Don't triae with a cold,' is good ad-
vice for prudent men and women. 1t
may be vital in the case of a child.
Proper food, good ventilation and dry,
warm clothing are the proper safeguards
against colds. If they are maintained
through the changeable weather of
autumn, winter and spring, the chances
of a surprise from ordinary colds will be
slight. Bat the ordinary light cold will
become severe if neglected, and a well
established ripe cold is to germs of
diphtheria what honey is to the bee.
The greatest menace to child life at this
season of the year is the neglected
cold" Whether it is a child or adult,
the cold slight Or severe, the very best
treatment that can be adopted is to
give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t
is, safe and sure. The great popularity
and immense sale Of this preparation
has been attained by its remarkable
cures of this ailment. "A cold never re.
suits in pneumonia when it is given.

Schafer Wins.

Grand Forks Herald: A belated tele.
gram states that the county commission.
ers of Mckenzie county ordered the
county seat changed from Alexander to
Sshafer. The action of the com.
missioners is interesting, for at the recent
election the returns showed that Schafer
had received five more votes for the
county seat than had Alexander.
Alexander started a contest and re.
tanned Palda & Burke Of Minot, to look
after the case. Schafer retained Attor.
neys T. S. Becker and George A. Bangs,
Grand Forks.
Whether the officers of Mckenzie
county will be allowed to obey the man.
date OF the commissioners remains to be
seen. The fight is a bitter one and an
effort may be made by Alexander to
prevent the removal of offices and
records through a court order.
