Leo G. Thurman, charged with the
murder Of w. p. Dolsen, SO that in the
event Of Thurman's conviction. all
three mon may be executed ut the

Judge Hancl1el. In reply, said that
this may be done, but that the intma-
ton was that in tho event OF the con-
vistion of Thurman there would cer-
talnly be an appeal to the Supreme
Court of Virginia. This, would cause
delay In the sentencing of the negroes
as no motions for now trials have beer

were legal tender, and that they
should be received for licenses. The

AT BOTH ENDS
Sheriffs May Find That People
Look at 1t In a Very
Different Way.

A reduction of the fees allowed
sheriffs and tax collectors and
separation of these two offices is
going to be an issue in the ap-
preaching campaign, and there Is
no chance to dodge it. The fol-
lowing on the subject is worthy
of perusal:
Sundays Picayune quotes a
country sheriff." recently IN the
city. as giving out a Jastremski
boom for the following sufficient
Ito him) reason:
81 hold a letter in my hand" !"
he said to Picaynne man, "writ-
ten to me by one of the most
powerful sherlffs of the State and
well known to you all. He sug-
gests to me that the sheriffs of
every parish outside of Orleans,
and the tax collectors inside that
parish, if they like, should get
together for mutual protection in
this gubernatorial fight. Both
Sanders and Wilkinson have
declared that the fees of the
sheriffs and tax collectors are ex-
cessive and should be cut down.
Jastremski has not embodied any
such plank in his platform. This
letter was written to me urging
that as many of the sheriffs as
possible get together in a quiet
way at some central point and
discuss this situation, and see
how antagonistic this fight is to
be made on us. l don't know but
that we had as we'll make it
lively. Since the Sanders and
Wilkinson platforms have come
out | am inclined to believe that
the sheriffs are looking upon
Jastremski with much more
favor. He has not found it ne.
cessary to attack US, and this fact
has been commented on by every
sheriff | have met. In addition
to that, | receive this letter
urging that we get together and
unite on Jastremski."
Now, here Is a gun that might
be "loade1 at both ends" Sup
pose the people, upon whom
these self-same sheriffs are de-
pendent fo- their reelection,
"quietly get together" and see
how these candidates for sheriff
stand on a reduction of salaries
and commissions and separation
of the Offices of sheriff and tax
and, without making
any attack on any particular man,
just quietly agree to support that
who honestly advocates
these things and will work for
them after his election. 1t would
seem, upon calm reflection, that
these things are up to the people
and not to the officials to dictate. |

,.oJUT The
MORMON ELDER
A Correspondent Protests A.
gainst their Still-Hunt
Among our Women.

A correspondent of the Colfax
Chronicle enters protest against
the quiet and peacesble still-hunt
of the Mormon elders, which has
been going on for some time in
Louisiana. Among other things
he says:
"They are the sworn and secret
teachers of plurality of wives.
They deny this because the gov
ernment has outlawed them on
this, but every Mormon elder is a
secret agent for the "many wives"
doctrines. Then, too, these walk
ing delegates from Utah are very
fond of proselyting the women.
Somehow these walking delegates
have a peculiar leaning to the
women. Among men they don't
do much, but among the women
they make heavy effort. All our
women folks ought to keep their
eyes open when it comes to these
walking delegates from Utah.
These walking delegates put our
women folks rather low as human
beings. Their great hobby is to
teach the woman that about her
only business in this world is to
go forth and replenish the earth
with children. They are careful
to have 1t understood that these
women are to 60 with them to
Utah and replenish the earth with
Mormon children. One conduc-
tor on the I. & P. road tells me
he has hauled over a hundred of
these poor deluded women out
of Louisiana, all headed for Utah
and all in the tender care of these
walking delegates.
"As Southerner we protest
against these tender-hearted walk
ing delegates, coming among our
plain southern people and going
on q still-hunt for our wives and
daughters to decoy them off to
Salt Lake City, all to replenish
the Mormon harems. We do not
protest against their still-hunting
among the Indians, or the Jap
anese or '.dagoes", or even the
darkies, but these walking dele
gates have no business forcing
themselves on our plain people |
and sowing their hldeous heresies
among our helpless Anglo Saxon
people.
"The purity of the home is
first and foremost. To invade
the home under the guise of
religion is the straw that breaks
the camel's back. These walking
delegates from Utah are a cheeky
set. They invade everywhere and
have caused trouble from Smoot,
in the U. S. Congress, down to
the humble log cabins in Texas
and Louisiana. By common con-
sent we are willing they should
stay around Salt Lake City. but
when they begin to forage off us
down here In Louisiana and still
hunt in our homes, we call halt.
We admire their zeal, but it
ought to be for a better cause
than that of the Latter Day
Saints"
