Laugh at Them.

Denver, Colo, June 27-Two i'm
portant meetings are on the program
today for the subcommittee of the
Democratic national committee. The
first session was held early In the
day and only matters of routine in
connection with the convention were
taken up. Members of the commit
tee visited the auditorium and dis
cussed details in connection with the
handling of the crowds.
The distribution of tickets promises
TO develop into serious problem, as
there is a tremendous demand and
every mail adds to the pressure. All

tion of McGraw, of West Virginia,
and Howell Of Georgia, were present
at the meetings today. Both these

SUNDAY BASEBALL
 AT MOBILE

Mobile, Ala, April 14.-Judge Jules E, Afford, in the inferior criminal court, this morning at g o'clock de- clared the Alabama law against the playing of basball, lawn tennis, golf and other games to be unconstitutionai and dismissed the defendant, Charles l.. Glosson, secretary of the Mobile baseball association.
 The point on which the bill was de clared unconstitutional was that 1t was changed in it's passage by meln- bers of the legislature from it's oriei- nal passage
 The effect of the declaring Of the law to be unconstitutional is that Sun day baseball will be played in this city, and probably Montgomery and Birmingham, all Southern League cities.

HEAVY DROP IN
 COTTON FUTURES
Less Than g Cents First Time Since Fall of l9O6-Thirty Points Less
 Than Saturday.

New York, April 14.-The price Of cotton options on the New York cot ton exchange went below 9 cents per pound Monday for the first time since September, 1906.
 The price has been working lower since January, owing to a poor de- mand from the cotton trade and re- gently this movement was accelerated by favorable prospects for the new crop.
 Monday the market was weak and unsettled, with May cotton selling at S.96c per pound, 30 points lower than Saturdays closing, and 2.S3c per pound lower than the high price of January, last.
 Prices for the new crop months we're also weak, the October option selling at SC per pound, as compared with 9.29c Saturday.

 As result of these primaries, New castle county sends 65 Gray delegates to the state convention and Sussex county 60 There was no Gray oppO- sition in the former and very little in the latter
 In Kent county the Bryan element made vigorous fight and the contest also was mixed up by the injection Of the prohibition and license issue.

life for this cOld-blOoded murder.
aud after serving fifteen years, re-

VISIT YOUR SCHOOLS,
OPELOUsAS COURIER.


You hear a great deal about our
schools, talk much about them,
think some about them, and pre-
adventure wonder not a little more
about them than if they were in
China. How many heads of fami
lies. parents, business men, men
of minds, ever cross the threshold
OF the school room? How many
ever offer a wor.i of encourage
ment to teacher or scholar and let
them know by your presence, at
least occasionally, in the school
room that you are al interested
party, really DESTROYS that they
should prosper, and have their
best welfare at heart? How many
have personally recognized the
head Of the school, he who has
the training of the mind aud the
building of and establishing the
character of your boy or girl?
How many have kindly counseled
aud advised with him, showing
you are with him in the great
word, wishing him we'll and cheer
ing with a God speed" How
few, methinks, eau answer in the
affirmative, and yet you often hear
of the school and feel that it is not
what it should be, and what you
wish it was. Will it help it to be
constantly finding fault, continu-
ally growing and denouncing it
with almost every breath q? and
when some trivial or even grave
mistake is made will il better mat
ters to pompously parade the same
before tho public.
Things are not often just as we
would like to have then, and sur
rounding circumstances not always
as We imagine or hear they are,
aud often if We knew the exact
condition and state of affairs our
minds and opinions will be the
reverse to what they were without
u knowledge of facts.
Now this IS merely offered as
hint, and while We presume many
will read it, it is hoped some will
think about it, and at least few
be Induced to act upon it and Wis.
it our schools at least occasionally.
