A good portion OF the Chronicle
this week will be found devoted to
the school affairs of Grant parish.
Our space could not be devoted to a
more important subject. An examl-
nation OF the proceedings of the par
ish school board, and OF Superin-

vision of the schools, rs well as his
report as treasurer, will be found I'M

begin the next school term, fixed to

puio aud Polk at Colfax.

On last Tuesday, Hon. A. p Pujo,
candidate for reelection to Congress
from this district, arrived in Colfax,
and at ii a. m. addressed an audi
ence of about forty persons at the
court house.
Attorney A. Williams introduced
Mr.. Pujo, who spoke for an hour re-
counting his work in Congress, ex-
planning his connection with the Cal
casieu sulphur mines. and replying
to the structures OF his opponent rel
ative tlereto: He made the special
plea that his experience would great
ly enhance his usefulness if returned
to the next congress.
From this place Mr.. PHO went to
Verda, where he spoke at night, and
and from there went to Pollock, where
he spoke the next day.
On Wednesday, owing 10 belated
trains. Mr.. WIN. Polk, the opposing
candidate for Congress, did not ar
rive in Colfax in time To speak at j /
as announced. but got here in time
to speak that night, to a crowd of
about seventy-five persons, eight or
ten ladies being among the number.
Mr.. j. A. Williams also did the
honors in this instance by introduc.
| ing MIR. Polk to the audience as an
old time friend and scLoollnate. Mr.
Polk spoke for more than one hour
and made IL good impression on his
hearers. He gave "A resume OF his lite
work, claiming wide experience that
| gave him an insight into the peoples
needs and sympathy with their de
sires. He particularly stressed thu
inconsistency of Mr.. Pujo being th'
paid attorney for corporations. ant
then being expected to legislate il
their restraint.
T. From Colfax Mr. Polk went toVerds
to speak the next day, and from their
he was to go to Pollock, followin:

tight with the people" He says:

in order to benefit thereby. we wish
to- inform him that we had rather be

held d special meeting in Typographical
Temple last night to discuss matters
OF vital Importance to all the bodies
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor"
The meeting was behind closed doors.
One Of the principal matters under dis
cussior was the present building trades
fight and the organizing and plans for
the launching OF A strenuous campaign
upon the opening Of the spring building
season.
The meeting was a short one, the fact
developing that the body did not have
the authority to appoint local organ
izer for the building and miscellaneous
trades. as was its intention.
II is probable the Central Labor
Union will be asked to grant the ne
cessary authority and that Sam De-
Nedrey viii be appointed to carry on
the work. Other features OF the cam
3aign were discussed. and course
OF action tentatively decided.

why 1 beat that man."
Judge Ditto said that if he read the
letter 1t must be given TO the press.
Boni then refused TO show the letter

forgery
Then make a complaint" retorted
the count.
Sagan did nothing until the day Anna
Gould sailed. Then he formally de
Magistrate Albane. The much-talked-Of
letter was written by Sagan to motor
Ious Partisan woman.
The woman states that she sold the
letter to George Gould, who wished to
break off Sagan's friendship with Anna
Gould and says that George Gould him
self delivered the letter to BOnt. The
letter reads:
