phoric acid, ia pounds of potash; red

SEWAGE IN THE COUNTRY.
System for the Farm Which vii Work
Satisfactorily.

The question Is often asked 10y the
farmer how one could have a bath
room in the country, with safe disposal
of house sewage, especially where the
land is quite level.
A few years ago there was no
known way of doing this that was safe
and practical Recently certain ex-
periments made in the treatment of
sewage and waste from water closets
have revealed some curious truths con-
corning bacteria and their ways. 1t
seems that certain bacteria attack or
ganic matter and destroy it best when
they are in perfect darkness and also
shut away from oxygen. These bac-

There Are Others.

That election last Tuesday was
a sumner, and we feel like we
had been run over by drove CT
California steers. What has got
ten into the people that we can t
control them? If they fool with
US much more Wen quit calling
ourself a boss. Just imagine if
you please, what they thought in
Baton Rouge when the news was
received there that Bob Wicklitfe
had carried the parish, when we
had promised it to F'avrot by an
overwhelming majority. And
pray tell us how can we ever
face those men when we meet
them? Well, we fit 'em our best,
and we are ready to try it over
another gin, if necessary.

J. R. MATTHEWS, Cashier.
Some Talk from Hartman.

In an interview e. H. Harri-
man, at San Francisco, said that
there would be no extensive i'm
prOvement work begun On any
railway lines under his control
until the financial situation had
relaxed considerably. Mr.. Har-
riman commented upon what
he termed the apathy shown Ov-
er the presidential election, and
said that this state of affairs
might readily prove dangerous
as conservative voters possibly
would not have sufficient interest
to go to the polls.
Mr.. Hartman said that he
was in favor of tariff revision and
that he believed the tariff should
have been revised six or seven
years ago when other financial
changes were made.

Justice PrOvOsty the Nominee.

BY the advice of his friends,
Mr.. Phanor Brazeale of Natchi
toches, who was in the running
for second primary between
Judge Provosty and himself for
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of Louisiana, has with
drawn. In a kindly note, these
friends express the opinion that
his chances were too remote to
justify the labor and expense of
a second primary. To their
opinion Mr.. Brazeale gracefully
acceded, and then wrote a gra-
cious note congratulating Judge
Proyosty on his nomination.
1t takes a wise man to acknoWl'
edge that he is beaten before the
votes are counted. A fool waits
for the landslide to crush him.

The People Master the Situation.

A "St Helena Democrat"
writes us from Pine Grove in
part, as follows:
Even over in Tangipahoa par
ish, where nearly all the leaders
were for Favrot, the plain peo-
pie revolced and almost carried
that parish for that peerless
young leader, Bob Wickliffe.
So it will ever be. The people
are coming to realize that they
are masters at the ballot box,
and they will not be dictated to
by a governor nor any one else.
The big chief may beat the tom
toms, pound the cymbals and
crack the whip over the heads of
his willing slaves but do absol-
utely no good. The die is cast
and Favrot is a doomed man.
He is being led to slaughter as
an innocent lamb and will GER
tainly be offered up On Sept 16,
to appease the just wrath of the
sovereign voters. Wickliffe is the
young tribune of the people and
with the individual support of
those who are not seeking some
petty Office will be elected by an
overwhelming vote"

LinCOln'S Words on Labor,

In an address to working men
in 1868, Abraham Lincoln uttered
some pregnant words on labor,
which are as true and timely to-
day as when first uttered. He
said:
Labor is prior to and indie
pendent Of capital. Capital is
only the fruit Of labor, and could
not have existed if labor had not
first existed. Labor is the su
perior Of capital and deserves
higher consideration. | bid the
laboring people beware of sur
rendering the power which they
possess, and which, if surrender
ed, will surely be used to shut
the door upon them until all Of
liberty shall be lost.
In the early days of our race
the Almighty said to the first of
mankind: In the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread, and
since then, if we except the light
and air of heaven, no good thing
has been or can be enjoyed by us
without first having cost labor.
And inaSmuch as most things
have been produced by labor, it
follows that all such things be
long of right to those whose la
Dor has produced them. But it
has so happened in all lagos of the
world that some have labOred
and others have without labor en-,
ioyed a large portion of the
fruits. This is wrong, and
should not continue. To secure
each laborer the whole product
of his labor, as nearly as posi-
BILE, is a worthy object Of any
government.
1T seems strange that any
man should dare to ask q JUS
Gods assistance in Wringine
bread from the sweat of Other
mems faces

A small number of citizens, in
