BIG FIGURE AT
 CARNEGIE INSTITUTE

Pittsburg, April S.-The hand some. bronze symbolic figures which adorn the front of the new Carnegie Institute, which have taken long while to be placed in position, are just finished, few days before founders day. There are 1C figures in all, and they are said to be among the handsomest and heaviest on any building in the entire country. There are four main figures and the rest are secondary. The main statues are symbolical of art, music, literature and science. Each one is erect, standing 16 feet in height, and weighing from five to six tons. At the base of each of the large figures are smaller statues of master ia each line. Bach is portrayed lh the music statue, Shakespeare Tn
 literature. Gililes in science ana Michael Angelo. The statues were designed by J. Massey Rhind, the
 az.ious sculptor, and the models were made in his New York studio. The castings were made in Naples, Italy. There is said to be more bronze in the figures on the new institute than on any other bulie- ing in the country The Carnegie Institute has about exhausted the supply of the celebrated Pemtelic marble from Athens, as in replacing a marble pillar of this precious ma terial. which had slight defect, II took a year to procure a satlslac- tory piece of the marble.

A RELIABLE STRENGTH CREATOR

Vinol is the latest scientific produc- ton of the greatest tonic rebuilder the
 world has ever known, namely, cod liver oil.
 In Vinol the useless, system clog ging, nauseating oil is eliminated, and the medicinal, curative elements
 known to exist in the cod's liver are administered in highly concentrated form, with tonic iron added
 This is why Vinol is so strongly recommended by physicians and guar anteed by over five thousand of the leading druggists of the United States as a body builder and strength creator for old people, weak women, puny children, after sickness, and for all pulmonary diseases. The doctor knows what he is giving and the patient knows what he is taking. Our leading druggist, A. G. Bedell, says: We sell Vinol on a guarantee that it is and will do all we claim for it, or refund money without question: ' X. c. Bedell, druggist.
 Note-While We are sole agents for Vinol in Pine Bluff, it is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly |every town and city in the country Look for the Vinol agency in your town.

Labor and Wages.
Northumberland

Ii there was a time IN the history
of events when the laboring element is
deserving of sympathy it is at this
period. All of the commodities of life
have advanced in price, from the food
that supplies the table TO the raiment
that clothes the body. This condition
imposes a hardship upon the laborer
who is dependent upon his daily toll
as means Of supporting his family
and self, and the farmers will find
/ that as matter of justice and neces-
sity they will be compelled TO increase
the deplorably low wages they have
been pay ing heretofore, otherwise they
will fEd themselves considerably
hampered by scarcity of labor in
moving their crops. It is really a
mystery how the poor laborer can
subsist upon his small earnings, and
now that the tide OF prosperity is APP
preaching, with bauntiful crops in
sight, 1t is to be hoped that these
deficiencies will be remedied aud the
labofing class will be given chance
to earn enough to meet at least or
binary requirements, or we will find
them immigrating to other parts,
There can be no prosperity in this
section unless labor is contentedly
situated. OBSERVER.

LARGE Salaries.

The graduates of the Tyler CONNER
cial College, Tyler, Tex as, draw the
largest salaries of any business coll
lege graduates in the state. The rea-
son is plain. This school gives the
most thorough, complete and extensive
courses OF stenography, biography
and business training to be found
anywhere. With our advantages of
the modern famous Byrne systems
OF bookkeeping and shorthand we re-
duce the time required for completing
a course from two to four months
over what is required in other
schools. We give the student the
training and experience that enables
him to go into and hold the better class
OF positions vacated by experienced
help, and draw good salary from the
first. The advanced salary that our
students draw over the salaries re.
ceived by graduates of other schools
would make it cheaper for the student
to attend our school and pay the full
rate of tuition than to attend another
school with tuition free.
We mention the salaries of a few of
our students who were but a few
months ago without our course of
practical training and were not able
to earn S25 per month: A young lady
who worked in her brothers store al
So per week, finished a course with us
in ten weeks time; she is now drawing
1856 per month. Another young lady,
who was not earning anything and
could not pay her tuition, was placed
in school by some friends of her father.
She is now drawing $1,000 per year.
Another lady who was not earning a
cent, finished our course and is draw
ing a salary of Sl25 per month. A
young man who was working on farm
as day laborer spent three months
in our school and his first four months,
" ages averaged him S175 per mouth.
He is now earning from $500 to $4,000 |
per year. We could go on and emu
merate hundreds of similar cases from
those who have enrolled with US dur
ing past years. No other school ia |
America can show such salaries for |
students just from school. 1t is our
superior practical training that en-
ables our stuoents to draw these ex-
eellent salaries. 1t is a positive fact |
hat we cannot supply the demand for |
our graduates of bookkeeping and |
Write for and read our 500 guar
antee on page two of our catalog. No |
1ther schools will back their advertis-
ng with such a guaranty. Tyler Com

New Gin Begins Operations.

The Farmers Union Ginning Com
paDy's modern new gin at Duplessis
turned out its first bale OF cotton on
Monday, Sept. 2, and operated with
out the least semblance Of a hitch in
all departments. The staple consti-
tuting the bale was grown on the farm
of George e. Bonieard by John Flet-
cher. colored tenant, and classed
middling. Besides disposing Of his
bale to Mr.. Bonicard at the excellent
price of Ii cents per pound, Fletcher
had the good fortune to carry off two
prizes, one offered by the ginning
company and the other by Mr.. Bon
icard, for raising the first bale of
cotton turned out by the new gin.

.Iosenh Gonzales.

The formal announcement OF Joseph
! Gonzales candidacy for the house of
representatives, which appears else
where in today's issue of The Chief,
| will be greeted with much pleasure by
this popular young gentleman s legion
of friends and well wishers throughout
the parish. He has always taken a
keen interest in the welfare of his
party, and has at all times exerted his
utmost endeavor to ensure it's success,
!! with the result that he has won for
himself host Of personal and po
litical friends in every walk of life
who will spare no pains to encompass
his election to the important Office
upon which his ambition is set.
Mr.. Gonzales was born at St.
Amant on September IL, 1862, a son
of Captain Joseph Gonzales, who
served as sheriff of Ascension paris h
for eight years, and who enlisted in
the war with the Confederacy as
private and came out as captain.
He was educated in the private schools
OF this parish and followed the pillow,
split rails, cut wood and foated logs;
out always had an ambition to better
his condition and became a good
student. In 1882, when the Landry
and Arizona creyasses devastated his
fathers plantation, young Joseph, at
the age of 20, branched out, poor
boy, to fight the battles of life for him
self, and soon found employment as
clerk in the store of John Crossley j.
Sons, Limited, in the upper portion of
this parish, where Southwood post
Office is now situated. By his energy
and industrial capacity he soon rose
to the manag, i4aut of the sales de-
partment of that establishment.
In 1887 be opened a store at the late
Y. P. Landry's stand on New River,
now known as the town of Gonzales.
Mr.. Gonzales induced the government
to establish a postoffce, named Con
zales, at that place, and was APP
pointed postmaster. His mercantile
venture proved successful from the
outset, and, barring the disasters
caused by the Mia, t1890), Belmont,
{1S92l, and Rescue, 1888, crevasses,
Mr.. Gonzales continued to advance in
the financial and political world, until
today he possesses large land interests,
principally the new-laid town OF Con-
sales, of which he is the promoter and
where he is conducting frst-class
genera al mercantile establishment.
He is also largely interested in farm
ing.
He has made the political needs of
his constituents life study and will
never shirk duty. He served on the
police jury under the first Foster ad-
ministration, and was member of the
Democratic executive committee of
this parish for many years.
He is one of the best known citizens
of the New River section and is we'll |
and favorably known throughout the |
parish. He has always been lead |
ing promoter for the common good, |
particularly devoting his attention to |
roads, schools and churches, to which |
he contributes literally, and is we'll !
known for his many charitable deeds.

DIR. Beverley Warner on President
Roosevelt,

DR.. Beverley E. Warner, the emf
nent rector OF Trinity Episcopal
Church, New Orleans, has returned
from vacation of nearly two months
spent at summer resort on Long
Island, and in the course of an inter-
view with reporter of the Times
Democrat covering various topics of
interest, made the following reply to
an inquiry. as to the political senti-
ment prevailing in the north
Roosevelt is on every body's lips.
The mass of intelligent men that I
met are enthusiastic over the stand
he has taken with regard to big cor
porations, although some fnanciers
are bowling that he is wrecking the
prosperity of the country. But con-
sentative, unbiased opinion is to the
effect that the presidents attitude is
the right one. His Provincerown
speech had clearing effect on the
financial situation, and was well re-
ceived in the north, where the people
are backing him up. 1t is not be-
lieved up there that Roosevelt has
any idea of securing third term, ex-
cept by certain politicians who are
trying to create this impression to
suit their own purposes. I don't
think Roosevelt himself has any such
idea. His aim is to carry out the
pledge he gave voluntarily. -

How the Bali Clubs Stand.

Memphis is in fair way to capture
the 1907 pennant in the Southern base
ball league, and Atlanta is a close
second in the race. The best that New
Orleans can do is to give Little Rock
a tussle for third place. Montgomery
is nth, Shreveport sixth, Birmingham
seventh and Nashville brings up the
rear. Detroit and Philadelphia were
tied yesterday for first place in the
American Association, with Chicago
and Cleveland not far behind them.
In the National League Chicago has
a faraway lead, with Pittsburg and
New York trailing some distance
astern. Mobile is ahead in the Cotton
States League, with Vicksburg poor

TIllman Predicts Republican success.

TiIiman Predicts Republican Success.
Senator Benjamin Tillman OF South
Carolina is quoted as not only ad-
hitting that the Republican party is
going to remain in control of the
country for an indefinite period, but
that the solid South will in all likeli-
hood he broken into and that Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Maryland are IN
a fair way to become as strongly Re
publican as they have heretofore been
Democratic states. A press despatch
dated at Washington Courthouse,
Ohio, August 25, gives Senator Till
mans views as follows:
'tIf things keep on at the present
rate, the states of Missouri, Kentucky
and Maryland, long Democratic by
reliable majorities, will be as reliably
Republican, if not in the next cleo
ton, then in the next two or three.
The influx of colored Republicans
from states further south, whence they
come to work in the coal and other
mines, is responsible for the trans
formation of these states from the
Democratic to the Republican column.
s'The Democratic party seems to
have nothing TO offer by which to off
set this increase of Republican voting
strength. In the north there is only
one Democrat of calibre, and that
is William Jennings Bryan. Where
is there another northern Democrat
worthy to unIatch his shoes? The Re-
a,,tr yunonnH fnnY11 tho
young men who naturally would be
advancement, political and otherwise.
There are no Allen G. Humans, Sen
ator Voorheeses and other Democr ats
of that type in the north in these days.
1.-THE young man entering politics
realizes in the north that if he ever
expects to hold political Office or
reap any reward, or to become distin-
guished as a statesman or politician,
he must proceed to identity himself
with the Republican party. Usually
he does, for the Republicans have
gained many from the Democrats who
later became big men in the Republi-
can party. 1t is this buying of the
young men of the north that has
stripped US of big men at the north. -
While we are not prepared either to
affirm or deny MIR. Tillman's expla-
nation of the causes that have been
drawing the border states he names
gradually away from their allegiance
to the Democratic party, it must be
confessed that his prediction of the
completion OF the process in the near
future has every appearance of being
well-founded. A great many of the
southern people are convinced that
the political solidity of their section
is no longer desirable, and these will
welcome the fruition of the South
Carolina senator's prophecy that the
political entity known as the solid
south will soon cease to exist.

w. A, Sibiey.

Among the announcements appear
ing in today's Chief will be found
that of W. A. Sibley, an upright citi-
zen, an industrious tiller of the soil
and a good man, as a candidate for
the legislature from this parish, SUBJ
iect to the action of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Sibley is able, energetic
and ambitious, and, if elected to the
high Office to which he aspires, NAV
be relied upon to perform the duties
thereof in a manner that will reflect
the utmost credit upon himself and
afford sincere qualification TO his con-
stituents and supporters. He is a
leading farmer of the Galvez section
of the parish, and enjoys the highest
esteem and absolute confidence of
every man, woman and child of the
community in which he lives. He
served as member of the police jury
with conspicuous merit from 1900 to
1904, and has held other positions of
honor and trust in the service of the
people of his parish and ward, filling
them all with marked ability and com
mendable competency. He is a clean
handed, fair-minded, irreproachabie
man, and is deservedly ranked as one
of Ascension's most prominent and
popular citizens. Mr.. Sibley's host
of friends throughout the parish are
rallying enthusiastically to his sup,
port, and will leave nothing undone
to bring about the consummation of
their candid ate's ambition.

Another labor strike is on In !

Another labor strike is on in New
Orleans. The Iongshoremen quit work
abruptly at O'Clock Thursday eve
ming because the stevedores and steam
ship agents declined TO accede to a
new wage scale, and even Mayor
Behrm ans influence was not sufficient
to induce the strikers to remain at
work pending an attempt to settle the
points at issue by arbitration. n
prolonged struggle between the con-
tending elements involved in this dis
pute is feared, and the commerce of
New Orleans seems IN for a hard jolt
10 consequence. Already much of our
chief city's legitimate trade has been
diverted to Mobile and G Galveston by
reason of such drawbacks as this, and
the end is not yet.
