1t seems that a majority of the
candidates in the present campaign
10 their announcements, appear to
think Unnecessary to name a platform
upon which to stand before the PEI :
pie for election. My experience has
taught me since in Office, to feel and
believe that there is Int one policy
for a clerk of the court to pursne. and
that there is hut one plank in his
platform. He should know his duties
rs public officer, and discharge thu
same faithfully, impartially and cor
rectly. Officers ARE servants of the
people, and their official acts should
he open to the public for inspection
and criticism.
II has been my constant aim and
highest ambition since my occupau-
cy OF the clerks office to conduct thu
business of the Office in such man.
ner ais tn best serve the citizens OF
our parish and public in general, ut
the same time discharging the duties
OF the Office in an up-to-date and in
telligent manner in every respect,
fully in keeping with any OF the best
Offices Of the kind in our State. Tol
this end feel that have succeeded.
not through my efforts alone, but
with the help and assistance of the
good citizens and officers Of our par
ish, who have stood ready to assist |
me in carrying into execution every
effort on my part for the betterment |
pf the office.
have striven at all times to faith. |
July aud zealously guard and pro-
tect the public records and documents
of the office, realizing rs have and
10 the great Importance of the same.
and this shall be my continued course
n the future, with every improve
nent possible.
In conclusion win say that / trust
hat ! may have the pleasure of meet
ng and mingling with yon all be-
ween this and the coming election,
Ind learn OF you the wants and wish
s Of our people.
Yours sincerely, j. O'OuINN.

HE DREW THE LINE


This tale relates how bishop &C
costed in Fifth avenue by neat but
hungry stranger, derived profit from
the encounter.
The bishop, so runs the yarn, took
the needy one to hotel and shared a
gorgeous dinner with him, yet, having
left his episcopal wallet in the pocket
of different episcopal jacket, sud.
denly faced the embarrassment OF not
possessing the wherewithal to pay up.
Never mind" exclaimed his guest, II
have enjoyed dining with you, and I
shall be charmed to shoulder the cost
Permit me-" Whereupon the stranger
paid for two. This worried the pre-
late, who insisted, Just let me call
a cab, and We'll run up to my hotel.
where | hsall have the pleasure Of
reimbursing you" But the stranger
met the suggestion with, See here,
old man! You've stuck me for bully
good dinner. but hanged II I'm going

that, Immediately upon the conclusion
of the service, he would take pleasure
in performing the ceremony.
The lovers, after some demurring,

church.
When the minister had finished the
service he made the following an

A Southern lawyer, says Harper's
tells of a judge in Arkansas who had
several "tiffS" with lawyer retained
by woman who had. instituted a
breech-of-promise suit in the court
presided over by the judge In question.
After each exchange of repartee be-
tween his honor and the imprudent
counsel, the judge would say
CLERK, just enter another fine of
$40 against Mr.. Mitchell for contempt
of court
When this sort of thing had pro
Iceeded further than COUNSEL wished,
he addressed his honor I'M this wise.

the. orders of the honorabia court in
this as i'm all other instances. Now,

PREME COURT DECISION.

TOPEKA. Kans., June 9.-The de
cision OF the State Supreme Court,
rendered yesterday, in which the An.
houser-Busch Brewing Association
was ousted from Kansas and all its
property in the State ordered sold BY
the receivers purposely appointed by
the court. was final and affects the
score of other foreign brewing com
panies similarly attacked.
It is believed that the brewers will
now apply TO the United States SUI
preme Court. The decision of the
court has clearly defined the powers
of the State receivers, and they will
actively push the seizure of many
thousands of dollars worth of saloon
and warehouse property in Kansas
owned by the brewers.

ODD FACTS
ABOUT TOBACCO

Ii takes s.5OO,OOO acres to grow tn,
worlds tobacco.
The most expensive cigars made
cost about 81 each.
The largest cigars come from ths
Philippine Islands. some OF them be
ing eighteen inches in length.
Italy has the reputation OF msnufac
turing some OF the strongest smokes
in the world.
A good cigar will burn slowly and
equally. The weed that shoulders on
one side is of inferior quality.
Louisville, the Kentucky center,
though not So well known as Rich
mond, the Virginia center. is the lar
gest tobacco market in the world.
II the leaf of a cigar has greasy
appearance, or shows green blotches,
or is ia pale, sickly yellow, the wrap
per is made of inferior tobacco.
In the total quantity of tobacco
grown, the United States rivals Cuba
and the Philippine Islands combined,
and British India is not far behind the
States.
In Tasmania no person under IL is
allowed to smoke in public place.
Nearly everybody smokes in Japan.
The girls begin when they are ten
years of age, and the boys a year
earlier.
Many believe that cigars marked
with light spots are indicators of the
predatory habits of an insect which
attacks only good leaf, but, as a
matter of fact, these spots are due to
the combined action of sun and rain.
The color of the ash is not am ac-
curate guide, but if the ash displays a
black lip" a thin, dark line around
the edge nearest the mouth is proof
positive of an Indifferent cigar. The
ash OF good cigar should also stand

The smoke from the bowl of ones
pipe is blue, because, coming directI
from the red-hot tobacco, 1t is very
highly oHdized but the smoke fromI

RACIAL CLASH,
THREE KILLED
TWO OTHER NEGROES WHIPPED,
WHILE FOUR WHITES ARE
WOUNDED.

YAZoO CITY. Miss. June s.--As a
result of a racial clash near here late
today three negroes are dead. two
others were severely whipped and four
white men were wounded.
The trouble originated when T. ID.
Kirk. a plantation owner. approached
group of negro tenants TO instruct
them relative to some field work. This
angered the negroes and one of them,
Abe Johnson. cursed Kirk. who, be-
cause OF the number of his antagon-
lists and being unarmed, retreated to-
ward his home to secure a weapon.
Johnson and his three sons proceed
ed to their cabin on a like mission,
and before Kirk reached his house he
was overtaken and fired on by one of
the younger negroes. Attracted by the
shooting. two of Kinks brothers and
]. T. Cheatham ran to his assistance,
and were fired on and wounded. They
returned the fire, killing Green John
son, one of their opponents.
The Johnsons then barricaded them
selves in their home and defied ar
rest. The house was surrounded and
protection offered them should they
surrender. On their refusal, the build
ing was attacked, two of the negroes
killed and two others severely
whipped.
Late advices from the scene of the |
trouble are that everything is now
quiet, and no further trouble is an
ticipated The Kirk brothers and
while their wounds are
severe, it is believed, will all recover.
