And as an officer of the people and

Mr. O'Quinn is one of the best
qualified men in the State for the po-
sition OF Clerk of Court. In addition
to being an expert stenographer and
typewriter. he is also fine account
ant and quick and ready in all mat
tiers in his charge. BY his remark
able hnbits Of system and order he
has given Grant parish one of the
best arranged and most up-to-date
Offices in the State, and it has be-
come a matter of great pride with
our people To retain him in office and
keep the records in their present high
state OF perfection. He publishes an
address to the people of the parish
IN another column, and from the
earnest way in which he solicits sup
port one would imagine he expected
to be short on votes in the coming
primary electi0n--but he won't.

Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted Oh Urinary
colds and recovered from them without
treatment of any kind, do not for q mo-
ment imaQipe.that colds are not danger
Gus. Everyone knows that pneumonia
and chronic catarrh have their origin in
common cold. Consumption is not
caused BY cold but the cold prepares
the system for the reception and deyel-
opmept of the germs that would not
otherwise have found Judgment. 1t is
the same with all infectious diseases
Diptheria, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more likely
to be contracted when the child has
cold. You will see from this that more
real danger turks in cold than in any
other OF the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure cold
is to take Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy. The many remarkable cures effect
ed by this preparation have made il q
staple article of trade over large part
Of the world. For sale by the Valley

To the Citizen Voters Of Grant
Parish.

Friends and FeLow-citizens:
Having announced myself some
time ago as a candidate for the sher
lit and tax collectors office of Grant
am impressed with the belief that
some of the voters who are not per.
sonally acquainted with me and my
life, would like To see some expires.
sions from me relative to some uI
the duties of public officer, and e.
Pecially that Of the sheriff's office, for
which am a candidate.
l do not think any officer, and es-
pecially a parish official, should use
the influence his office affords him to
further his own interest politically,
or that of any other candidate, for
this policy has tendency to thwart
or usurp to certain degree, the free
will of the people; but it should be
left strictly to the voter to cast his
ballot for his choice of his own free
will, for ''free ballot" is one Of the
fundamental principles embodied in
our American government by our
forefathers.
, l believe it to he the sheriff's un-
bounded duty to enforce the criminal
laws on all alike and show no dis
tinction in their administrat ton be-
tween his fellowmen, be he either poor
or rich.
The sale of Intoxicating liquors is
strictly forbidden in Grant parish by
a majority vote of its citizens, and
| certainly believe it one of the sher-
ifs obligatory duties to uphold the
will of the people in this matter and
help to make, if possible, prohibition
a complete success in the parish.
When any violations Of the law are
committed within the borders of the
parish, | believe it especially the sher-
IFS duty to either go himself in per-
or send reliable and trustworthy
deputy to the place at once and make
a close investigation of the reported
violations, and bring to justice the
guilty parties If possible.
As understand the sheriff is keeper
and custodian of the parish Jail, and
most assuredly / think he should al |
ways endeavor to run the SINE on |
as economical basis as possible, ever
with view to the best interest to all |
the people, and by all means keep
same in as sanitary condition as lies
in bis power, for on this the health
and comfort of the prisoners therein
much depends.

cratic primary election; aud
Whereas, it is the purpose and
spirit of the primary election law
(Act No. 40 of 1906 that only
white Democrats should vote and
participate in said election; and
Whereas, further, it is repug-
nant to the spirit of said law and
to the tenets of the Democratic
party, that Republicans, or social
ed independent Republicans,
should vote or participate ia said
Democratic primary election ;
therefore,
Be it resolved, Thatitis the sense
of this committee that only white
Democrats should participate in the
forthcoming primary election for
Governor and other State offices
to compose the Democratic State
ticket; and to the end that none
but white Democrats shall vote and
participate in said election, it is
the sense and opinion of this COM
mittee that all commissioners of
election who shall be selected to
serve in the forthcoming primary
be and they are hereby authorized,
directed and instructed to carry in
to literal effect section 10 of the
Primary Election Law and shall
ask the questions therein set forth
to every person offering to vote, so
that none but Democrats shall be
allowed to vote.
Section 10 reads as follows: BE
it further enacted, ETC., That in
order that none but those atfiliat-
ing with and being members of
any political party shall partici-
pate in any primary election held
by said political party, every per-
son Offering to vote shall he asked
by the Commissioners of Election
whether or not he is member of
such political party and whether
or not he will support the nominees
of said primary election; and he
shall not be permitted to vote I'M
less he shall answer both questions
in the Affirmative"
