FIGHT ID RETAIN THEIR SHADE TREES Residents of Lakeside to Ap-
 pear Before City Council
 Tonight to Make Plea for
 Trees in Sidewalk District MAY REMOVE THEM Contractors Say the Trees Interfere
 With the Building of New Side
 walks-WOuId Be Crooked If They Remain There.

There has been a movement on foot for the past few days to prevent the city from having the trees cut down on South Olive street, standing in the way of the concrete sidewalks, which are to be constructed there. It has been understood that Attorney J. w. Crawford will appear before the City Council tonight and make a plea to protect their trees.
 The property owners are willing 1 to deed to the city from their own yards enough ground on which to build the sidewalks, if they will spare their trees, which they say tend to l make that portion of our city one of it's prettiest resident districts There are large number of old and beautiful shade trees all along this street and especially between Twelfth and Eff teenth avenues which will be destry- ed unless some action is taken by the City Council.
 The people on the other side of the question say that the trees will die in a few years. and that the sidewalks in that part of the city will then be curved and crooked. Some argue that if the sidewalks are constructed fur ther back, and the trees left undis- turbed, the street will be more open, and much prettier. Just what action will be taken on this question can not be told yet, and the efforts of the property owners to save their shade trees will be watched closely, as it will, in a way, be a test case.
 It has been understood that the la dies of that part of the city will or ganize to try to save the trees, if the Council does not take action favor able to their case
 The question will probably take a 1 large part of the City Fathers time tonight. and the outcome will ba watched with interest. The Council has not passed an ordinance relative to this case, but the contractors think that the rule should apply which pro- vides that when a tree or any other obstacle is in the way of public inn provement, it should come down. ! These trees could easily be declared a nuisance by the Council, and remov- ed by their orders, but it is under stood that if the property owners make the offer of letting them build the sidewalks on ground belonging to them, the council will accept and the trees will be spared

SOCIETY.
F%%~~</N</~%%<<

The Brigadiers Of Lakeside Meth
 odist church were organized two 1 weeks ago by the third vice presi- dent of the Home Mission Society Mrs. w. C. Watson. The sixty whose
 names were enrolled were divided into two companies. The Reds and the Blues. The Captain of the Reds, Charles Wiley, and his company were given mite boxes tied with red rib
 bons. While the captain of the Blues, Mamie Brewster, and her con- pany's boxes bore ribbons of blue. These companies met with their lady manager, in her home, Wednesday at- ternoon, August 21, to open the boxes and determine which had been most diligent in filling them with dimes and nickels. Two tables were placed in the yard, one on either side of the walk, at which were Mesdames Me- Lellan and Reeves, one with roll of the Reds and the other of the Blues. As each name was called the child
 opened his mite box, telling how much it contained, and how he had
 earned the money. When the count was made it was found that the Reds had excelled by a small amount, and so they carry the banner until next opening day. Cake and cream was served. A box of candy had been of- fered the one whose box contained the largest amount. This went to lit- tie Louise Watson. Mrs. Watson was assisted in serving by Mesdames C..
 G. Gillespie, Chas. Puddephatt. J.. D. Harnett, Gus Wiley and Jim Me- Clellan.

THE STATE PRESS.

Baton Rouge State: In the last analy-
sis, it is the legislative branch of the gov
eminent which spends the public money
and levies the public taxes.
East Carroll Banner-Democrat: It is
said Colonel J. w. Nicholson of the State
University will make the race for State
Superintendent of Education, and if he
does he will undoubtedly poll large vote
on account of being a very popular man.
Alexandria Town Talk: We hope the
authorities of Ruston have arrested the
right persons who committed the outrage
there, in which negro man and his family
were blown up and killed with dynamite
while they slept. This was one of the
dlrtiest acts ever committed in Louisiana,
and something new to our people.
Boyce Advertiser: One reading the
newspapers commenting on Prof. Aswell
would imagine that he was the only led
ucator' in Louisiana. In DeSoto nine
tenths of the people look upon him as the
darndest crank ever seen. Poor Louisiana
is in bad boat only on smart men. Peo-
pie who take that view must be subject to
brainstorms.'
Abbeville Meridional: Aswell and the
DeSoto Parish School Board have been
having monkey and parrot time on the
practical educator and finally the Edu-
cational Autocrats at Baton Rouge handed
the recalcitrants a coup de grace in the
neck with sharp axe. Of course, politics
have no place with either our virtuous ed
ucatlonal manipulators or the bullnecked
hill billies UP in the piney woods. Perish
the thought!
Mansfield Journal: An increase in the
salary OF the State Superintendent of Ed
ucation is favored by few journals in the
State. Why for? To enable the Superin-
tendent to cavort over the State, in order
to advertise himself and NEEDLE in local
school affairs? Aswell has done this and
IN what way have the schools been bene-
fitted? No; the salary is large enough.
Never lear that a good man can't be found
to take the Office at the present salary. /
And when he is wanted at his office he will I
DC found there. He will not wish to prance
over the State during his term either.

col. j. w. NICHOLSON,

Quite number of newspapers in this
State have made favorable mention of
Col. }. W. Nicholson as candidate for
State Superintendent of Public Education.
While no formal announcement has been
made to that effect, the many friends of
Col. Nicholson would hail with pleasure
his announcement as a candidate.
In expressing our choice and our inten-
ton to lend our feeble influence in behalf
OF Col. Nicholson, we do not do so because
OF any special friendship for him, but for
the simple reason that we have the interest
of Louisiana at heart, the only reason that
has ever prompted us to support any man
Tor office, and we believe the people will
be better served by his election.
We are for Col. Nicholson, first because
he is man, in the highest sense of the
world, against whom not one word can be
truthfully said. His life is an open book,
his character, honesty and integrity being
lrreproachable. He is known to be abso-
lutely sincere in his every utterance, and
the soul of honor. There is not one reason
that can be given why he should not be
elected, and many showing why he should
be. There are but two real essentials to be
considered in any candidate, and they are
his honesty and qualifications for holding
the office, and then the next his superiority
to his opponents in this respect
Col. Nicholson's long experience as a
successful teacher has demonstrated his
great ability as an educator, and the worth
that is in him. He is thoroughly familiar
with the needs of the people-an ardent,
earnest educator, and a friend to all the
people. His well-known zeal and past
success as an educator is an indication
that his administration of the office of State
Superintendent of Education would be
highly satisfactory to the people interested.
A good man, devoted citizen. gallant
Confederate soldier. typical Southern gen.
tleman Of the old school, with many wears
OF experience as one of the foremost edu-
Gators of the State, there is little doubt
that the majority of the voters of Louisiana /
would rally TO his support.

Statute of General Gordon.
baltimore Sun. [

In erecting in the Capitol grounds at At
lanta bronze equestrian statute of Gen.
John B. Gordon the Georgians will honor
one of their most distinguished citizens.
Entering the Confederate Army in 1861 as
captain, Gordon fought with such ardor,
intelligence, vigor and success that he rose
to the rank of lieutenant general and com.
manded one wing of General Lees army
at Appamattox. It was he who in March,
1865, with two brigades of his corps, at
tackled at night Grants lines and captured
a half-mile of breastworks, including Fort
Steadman and several batteries to the right
and left-a most remarkable exploit. On
the morning of April 8 Gordon's corps
made an assault upon the Federals, captur-
ing battery and number of prisoners,
not knowing that Lee had surrendered.
The Georgians were in line of battle when
the surrender was announced
After the Civil War General Gordon re-
turned to the practice of law In 1868 he
was elected Governor of Georgia, but Gen.
Meade gave the office to Bullock. From
1873 to 1880 he was member of the United
States Senate, retiring in the latter year to
construct the Georgia Pacific Railway, in
which he was much interested. From 1887
to 1890 he was Governor of Georgia, and
from 1891 to 1897 he was again in the
United States Senate, where he ranked
among the most eloquent, the most discreet
and the most highly honored leaders of the
Democratic party. Through his official
utterances and public addresses he exerted
for many years useful influence in calm
ing sectional passions. While active in the
work OF the organizations of ex-Confede-
rates, his voice was always for Cancellation
and determination with like organizations
OF ex-Federals. In honoring her famous
son Georgia honors herself.

Hon. J, B. Aswell is likely to have very
strong opposition for reelection to the po-
sition of State Superintendent of Public
Education. He will have enthusiastic
supporters; but he will also have energetic
and determined opponents. Some regard
him as the greatest educational leader the
State has ever had; others consider him
an autocrat and dress parade man and
have very little confidence in his sincerity.
In this connection, it is said to be probable
that Col. j. W. Nicholson will become a
candidate for this office. We do no know
as to that; but we desire to have at least
two candidates for all Offices from Cover
nor down. We cannot have primary in
the true sense unless this is the case, and
we desire to see some good man oppose

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Nashville Banner: The ex-countess de
Castellane and Howard Gould are sister
and brother to Miss Helen Gould, but she
is not to blame for that
Richmond News Leader: "After ALL"
reflects the Montgomery Advertiser, sswhat
is more deadly than the human tongue?"
Two human tongues on SANDER bent.
Nashville American: Arevival of Gun
Gle Toms Cabin" has been started by
New York theater. There are no blood
hounds, no Ohio River filled with ice, and
no donkeys- those who pay to see
the fool thing.
Richmond Times Dispatch: The Read
ing's officers should have learned long ago
that it is dangerous thing and the poor
est sort of policy to defy the public. The
good will of the people is as necessary to
the success of a railroad as to any other
business enterprise.
Nashville American: The decision by
Attorney General Bonaparte as to what
" straight whisky is will profit the dis
tillers of such goods about S12,0 100000 this
year. They have advanced the price for
no reason other than that they have bet
ter use for the money than the people who
will spend it for any kind of whisky.
Philadelphia North American, The
Rockefeller fortune, and all the other for
tunes owned by the group around Rookie
Teller, stand for fragrant wrong to this
nation. 1t is money of infamy. It is gain
compared with which the luere of the com.
mon gambler, the Wall Street rigger of the
market and the waterer of railroad stocks
seems to have actually flavor of honesty.
DeSoto Press: "They won't miss me.
will not be needed; one more or less
doesn't matter much" Thus men have
sofloquized, and thus men have argued
with others. Upon this reasoning, men
have stayed away from the polls on election
day, and, as result, the best candidates
have been beaten. Upon this reasoning
men have stayed away from the church or
absented themselves from Sunday school,
and the minister or the superintendent has
faced empty pews, and perhaps ultimate
defeat. The one man does count. You
count. whoever you may be. Don't put
such low valuation on yourself as to
think that you amount to nothing.
New Orleans Picayune: There could
be nothing more baneful and dangerous to
the social condition of the Southern States,
with their vast negro population, than to
place control of all the public schools of
whatever class in the Union in the hands
and under the absolute control of the ma
tional central Government. But that is
what not few Southern people are crying
for to-day. Some Southern people, in their
anxious desire and feverish impatience to
get their hands into the national Treasury,
seem not to care what shall come of it all.
if only they in their generation shall get
share of the "glue." Federal control of
popular education in the States is most
dangerous possibility. The South should
fight against it to the end.
