The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1908-02-01

More than half the surface of
the globe is hidden under water
two miles deep. Seven million
square miles lie at a depth of 49,
600 feet or more. Many places
have been found five miles and
more in depth. The greatest depth
yet sounded is 81, 200 feet, near the
island Guam.
IT Mount Everett, the worlds high
est mountain, were plucked from
its seat and dropped into this spot
the waves would still roll 1000 feet
above its crest. Into this terrific
abyss the waters press down with
force more than 10000 pounds
to the square inch. The stanchest
ship ever built would be crumbled
under this awful pressure like an
eggshell under a steam roller.
A pine beam fifteen feet long
which held open the mouth of a
trawl used in making a cast at a
depth of more than $4,000 feet was
crashed flat as if it had been pass
ed between rollers.
The body of man who should at
tempt to venture to such depths
would be compressed until the flesh
was forced into the interstices of
the bone and his trunk no larger
than a rolling pin. Still the body
would reach the bottom, for any
thing that will sink in tub of
water will sink to the uttermost
depths of the ocean.-Ex.

Result Of IN. Election.

The primary election last Tuesday
resulted IN the decided victory of j
Y. Sanders over +. S. Wilkinson for
the office OF governor, and while Mr..
Wilkinson has gone down in defeat
he has nothing to be ashamed of in
the entire contest. His fight has been
fair and square, and he adhered strict
ly to the record in all of his canvass
In number OF instances his oppo-
nents imputed unfair methods to
him, butthey cannot do SO truthfully
in the face OF his straight and consis-
tent course.
The Chronicle supported Mr.. Will
kinson as matter of principle, and
has no regret except the regret of de-
feat, and no apologies to offer for its
contentious in his behalf. We accept
the will of the majority of the Demo-
Gratis of Louisiana as a final settle
BleDt of our differences, and shall
support the nominees OF the party
without a single twinge of conscience.
Mr.. Wilkinson can congratulate him
self on the splendid support he has
received all over the State.
Asto the result in Grant, the Chron-
Gle is particularly gratified, and the
editor feels that his course has been
splendidly endorsed by the people oi
the parish. Almost without excep-
ton our iavorites for Office, from
Governor down to constable, receiv-
ed a majority vote, or have remained
in the second race. Among n dozen
candidates 81 our choice, we believe
only one or two failed to receive the
endorsement of the Democrats oil
Grant parish.
A second primary election will be
held on Tuesday. February 25th, at
which the two candidates receiving
the largest vote on Jan. 2Sth will run
over, to determine the candidates for
the Offices for which no nomination
was made. The officers to be nomi-
mated are Lieut.. Governor, Attorney
General, Auditor and Registrar OF
Public Lands. The parish officers to
be nominated in Grant are Sheriff
and Assessor, aud one police juror in
ward six.

State Travelling Auditor.

According to information gathered
from reliable source Governor
Blanchard has decided upon the APP
pointtnent of L. O. Harris, his pres
ent private secretary, az travelling
auditor of the State, and also has in
mind the engaging of Vernon Porter.
son of Judge Porter of Natchitoches.
as his private secretary. There has
been a report current for some time
that Governor Blanchard contem-
plated the appointment OF I. O.
Harris as travelling auditor Of the
State, which first was circulated when
Mr.. Harris saved the measure from
defeat by urging his friends in the
House to support it. Mr.. Harris is a
New Orleans and Shreveport newspa-
per man. and has been the very eff
Gent private secretary to Governor
Blanchard since the governor began
his administration.
Vernon Porter is at present Mt Yale
University studying law. Before he
went to Yale he was assistant private
secretary to Governor Blanchard,
and is well acquainted with the de-
tails OF the executive Office work.

holding of the meeting was never
definitely determined until fully
IL o'clock on Tuesday, 9TH. 1t
was by the merest accident that
telegram filed at 1890 O'Clock was
Intercepted and withdrawn, Mr.. H.
l.. Graham, the Colfax telegraph
operator, having been SO busy with
his express and Office business by
morning train that his few minutes
delay allowed the recovery of the
telegram before it left his hands.
Thus it will be seen that there
was absolutely no certainty as to
the holding of the Wilkinson mass
meeting on Jan. 9th, until after IL
O'Clock on Tuesday, the 7th. No
printing or distributing of posters
was done until after dinner that
afternoon, and each and every
statement made by the Chronicle
and its editor in relation 10 this re-
markably successful and we'll at
tended meeting is true and fully
sustained by the record and the
facts.
The idiotic drivel of the editor
Of the Democrat, about being in
the Chronicle office Monday night,
and talking with A. M. GOODWIN,
son of the editor Of the Chronicle,
about the paper upon which to
print circulars for the meeting,
only goes to show that the matter
was undetermined up to a late hour
that night. His gratuitons as
sumption that, because the Good
wyns, father aud son, failed to take
him into their confidence at that
time and tell him all about matters,
that any misrepresentation or i'm
position was practiced on him, is
about the widest pleading of the
baby act we have seen in forty
years newspaper experience. His
personal knowledge of the fact that
the Chronicle editor never makes
positive assertion without the
firm belief that it is true, or hav-
ing possession of documents to sus-
tain his position, should at least
have prompted him to ask for the
proof of our statement before Civ
ing utterance to an outrageous
SANDER. He talks about our be-
ing as "fsir" toward him as he is
toward us. and yet he twice utters
and lamely apologies for a lie out
of the whole cloth, when it was
really not a matter for him to have
butted into at all, and especially of
no interest or profit for him to en-
deavor to correct, even if it was
wrong. Being plainly in the wrong
Editor Mathis should be manly
enough to admit his error. 1t is
perhaps unpleasant to acknowledge
a foolish wrong, but it is certainly
more dignified and honorable than
to exhibit righteousness and lying
persistence in that wrong. We
can afford to overlook the ordinary
contradiction purporting to be
hacked by argument, but for insult
and abuse based on palpable false
hood without any reason or excuse
we have no liberation. 81

wall of the hive it. is not necessary to
write so it cannot be erased.
Notice that bent crate-staple is
used instead of a straight one or a
nail. It is done for the reason that
the latter would soon be driven into
the wall of the hive-bodies when these
are handled, and the numbers" could
not be hung on them. With the bent
staple, explains Bee Culture, this is
quite overcome, for it acts like a
spring, and will not go deeper into the
wood. With this springlike pressure
the tin number-plate is held firmly
after it has been hooked in place.
Such a staple is put on each end of all
hive-bodies so that, no matter which
end is placed forward, there will be
such a staple Cd which to hang the
number. 1t is not necessary to I'M
hook the tin fer making records on the
back. Just stoop down beside the
hive; lift up the lower end of the tin
on its staple hinge, and examine the
notes or add more. These will be up
side down after the tin is turned up,
and are readily read from the top.

LOCATING THE INCUBATOR.
Room In Which There Is NO Stove 10
the Best Place.

With standard make of machine,
the location does not matter material
ly. The farmer cannot afford to have
a specially constructed incubator eel
lar, nor is this necessary for one or
two machines. Few farmers operate
more than one or two machines at the
most and with this small number as
good results can be obtained in the
dwelling house as any place, providing
the farmer has room there for them
which he usually has. We never liked
the idea of having an incubator in
sleeping apartment, however, says the
Epitomist, for the fumes and gases
from the lamp as well as from the ma.
chine itself, are anything but health
full. A room in which there is no
stove in operation makes a better in.
cubator room than one that is heated,
on account of the air being purer as a
rule. A cellar makes an ideal loca-
ton providing it is dry and well venti-
lated, but musty cellar is very poor
place indeed for successful incubation.
