HOLT is THE FAVORITE CANDIDATE.
A Man Who Knows Him (IYes Ills
Views.

A Man VINO Knows Him GlfeS His
Views.
The following is a letter from
Mr.. Charles Case, Of Oak Ridge,
addressed to the Democratic vot-
ers of the Fifth Congressional
District
= I have known Prof. ]. Allen
Holt from his early boyhood. In
taking a retrospect of his life it
appears that his motto has been:
Whatever was worth doing at all
was worth doing we'll. Whether
ploughing on his fathers farm.
going to school in the primitive
old log school house, Sunday
School, Oak Ridge Institute and
then teaching in the public
schools of the county, all was
well done. Prof. Holt then
spent some years in college in
the state of Ohio. How those
years were spent is not directly
known to the writer. His work
after returning home clearly at
tests that those years were well
spent.
Prof. Hollis noble work as
senior principal of Oak Ridge In
stitute, is too we'll known to need
comment. This is a matter of
history all over this state and
other states as well. Some twen-
ty odd years ago Prof. Holt was
elected a member Of the county
Board of Education, his work in
Office was highly satisfactory, so
much that he held the position
continuously, until he resigned to
represent the 21st Senatorial
District in the last General As
sembly. His record there is well
known. He was a peer of the
ablest members of the state sem
ate. His work was highly compli-
mented by a large majority of
the democratic voters of the
state.
Prof. Holt is an advocate of
higher education for the masses
of the children of the state. He
is making pecuniary sacrifices to
aid in that work.
Notice an illustration. Prof.
Holt was largely instrumental in
securing local taxation for the
public schools. of Oak Ridge
Township, thus voluntarily as
Stunning an annual tax of 81 cents
on the hundred dollars worth of
his property, purely for the bene-
fit of his neighbours children,
having never sent one of his own
children a day to a public school.
Another example: In the last
Legislature Prof. Holt, as Chair.
man of the Committee of Educa'
ton, strongly advocated the acI

MANY SHADE TREES PLANTED

Mr.. J. Pullen informs the Town
Talk that so far this season he has
planted 400 shade trees in Alex
andria, and that he estimates
that other citizens have planted
from 500 to 600 shade trees.
This is a good beginning toward
making Alexandria a beautiful,
shaded city and we hope that the
good work will continue until all
our resident streets are lined with
handsome trees. Mr.. Pullen has
planted principally maple, ems
and hackberry.-Town Talk.

When one wanders through the
streets of some old we'll kept town,
beneath the branches of majestic
old trees, one is fain to wonder
what that town would have been
if the old timers who planted those
trees had been like some of the
citizens of today who refuse to
plant trees because they may not
live to see them at their BEST
Beaumont Enterprise.
But what would they think Of
the "~enlightment' Of those who
would destroy those majestic"
old trees" under the contemplate
plea of "progress"-what a paro-
dy on the word-vandalism would
be much more appropriate.

TO QUE SUBSCRIBERS

It seems that Uncle Sam is going to
force the newspapers to a cash basis. New
postal regulations have been adopted by
the Department, which permits news,
papers to use the mails under the second
class rates only to subscribers who have
paid their subscriptions cash in advance.
This new regulation will go into effect
the list of April next, and if it is strictly
enforced, it will force the newspapers to
a strictly cash paid in advance system
for all subscribers, as the papers could
not afford to mail papers and pay, a
high rate of postage. There is very lit
tie, if any, profit in subscriptions at the
present high prices of printing material
and there would be an actual loss under
a higher rate of postage.
We invite the attention Of our sub
scribers to this regulation and say to
them that if they wish to continue to re-
ceive the paper, they should see to it that
the subscription is paid in advance. We
must conform to the postal regulations
We may be willing to credit our subscrb-
ers, but we must do as Uncle Sam directs

THE PRIMARY ELECTION

That Hon. Jared Y. Sanders has
been elected Governor of Louisia-
ma by decisive majorities in both
city and country districts Of the
State is beyond question, but that
Hon. Theodore Wilkinson received
a most fattering support through
out the State is also certain.
Either Colonel Wilkinson or
the lamented Jastremski would
have done we'll for the State had
they been intrusted with its Chief
Magistracy, but the Picayune be-
lieves there will be no discount
upon the ability and quality of the
man whom the people of this great
State have chosen to represent
them in the highest office. The
people who have known him for
years in other public functions be-
lieve that he is equal to every
reasonable and proper demand
that can be made upon him, and
they. have testified their conft
dence by laying on him the grea-
burden of responsibility that be-
longs to the office of the States
Chief Executive. r
In the heat of the campaign
which has just closed some over
Jealous and self-suificient partisan
of the opposition made public the
statement that tall the good
men in the State would vote for
his candidate, while only those of
the opposite quality and character
would vote for Governor Sanders.
This declaration was made with
out the fear of God before his eyes
and with little regard for the peop-
pie Of this great State, for if there
were any warrant in truth and
reason for such an expression it
would visit condemnation and
anathema upon that great body of
the citizens constituting an over
whelming majority, who voted for
the successful candidate, as we'll
as casting serious reflections upon
the victor himself.
The simple fact remains that
the great body of the people of
Louisiana are not rogues and ras-
Gals. They are not self-seekers and
grafters, and in the election just
closed, as we are taught it shall be
in the great day of the final judg-
ment, all the righteous were not ar
rayed on one side, and all the
workers of iniquity marshaled on
the other.
A Louisiana primary election
was not intended, and can not by
any possibility be used to separate
the good from the wicked, or to
winnoW the righteous souls from
among the sinners, and there is
not a sane man in the limits of
this great commonwealth who will
dare make publicly any such decla-
ration concerning the State pri-
mary Of yesterday. It was a fair
and honest election, as free from
fraud as is any such election in any
State of the Union, and in it the
people Of Louisiana have declared
and executed their righteous will.

A Healthy Voice.

A strong, sweet, beautiful voice is
greatly to be desired for every one.
In some climates, like Italy. for in
stance, the voices are almost alike.
In other places where 1t is cold and
moist the voices are too often bad. In
the country where the young grow up
in an out of door life where they can
boiler and even yell, the voices are
much better and stronger than in the
city, where a young person must sup
press himself and always speak in
gentle tones. Thin, throaty tones or
those with a nasal intonation are bad
enough to the sensitive ear when used
in the key of ordinary conversation.
When it is needed to expand such
voices to the declamatory point, then
lack of volume and mellowness Is evil
dent.
Faithful practice may do much to
correct faults of emphasis and inflec-
ton, but the most sanguine coach will
not undertake to make over a poor
voice in a course of three or even six
weeks rehearsals. The possibilities OF
the speaking voice are beginning to be
understood. Parents are discovering
that it is a wise plan to cultivate In
their children an agreeable voice. In
structors in the art of developing the
exquisite mechanism and wonderful ca
pability Of the human speaking voice
are springing up on every side. 1!
cannot be long before it will be pos
tive reproach for woman Of educa-
ton, at least, to speak in shrill, nasal
or unplaced tones. The voice is a
mirror of the mind. A coarse, harsh
disagreeable voice can best be cured
by improving the mind and Heart
Health.
