FIRST QUARTERLY CONFERENCE
AT PAYNE CHAPEL, EAST
NASHVILLE.

Last Sunday while the rain fell and
the snowflakes filled the air, there
was a great spiritual feast at each
of the three preaching services at
Payne Chapel. The occasion was the
first Quarterly Conference of the new
Conference year. Rev. T. W. Haigler
ID. D., NJ. d., the new Presiding Elder.
preached three powerful sermons dur
ing the day and addressed the "Allen
Christian Endeavor League" at T
p. m. There were about rs out in
spite of the rain and snow.
Sunday night two converts united
with the church and four mourners
left at the seat of mercy.
Monday night the business session
of the Conference was held. The re-
ports were indeed grand. considering
the weather and the short quarter.
DR.. Haigler made a fine impression
upon the people Of grand old Payne
Chapel. His words of council to Bro.
Wayman Warfield, delegate to General
Conference, were timely and we hope
well received. DR.. Flagg, our beloved
pastor, never fails to have a congre-
cation, hot or cold, wet or dry. He is
beloved by M~ethodists and Baptists,
white and colored.
Money raised during the quarter for
all purposes, $575.S5.

AGAINST rAfkoLmAN SHUTS
TLEWoRTH.

Policeman That Beat Him up in De-
cember-Not Yet Fully Recovered
From Assault.
Charges will be preferred within the
next few days against Patrolman Shut
tleworth, who beat up and abused DR..
A. D. G. Robb on the night before
Christmas. DR.. Robb visited Mayor
Browns Office on Tuesday morning,
comforting with the Mayor in regard
to preferring charges against the po-
liceman. The Mayor told him to draw
ND the charges and he would set q
date for the trial before the Commits
sion.
At the time he was assaulted DR..
Robb was returning from a visit to a
patient about ! O'Clock in the morn
ing. and was walking down Kayne av-
enue. when he passed four policemen.
In passing he greeted them, saying,
Good morning, officers He says
that he passed on up the street. He
said he heard some n calling to a
Niger, cursing and telling him 60
stop. Not thinking that he was the
one referred to, he kept on his way,
until he heard some one running be-
bind him cursing and ordering him to
halt. Turning, he said, "Are you
peaking to me, Corporal?" Where.
upon the officer cried with an oath,
Don't you call me a cop and struck
h'rn a terrible blow over the eye.
Or. Robb stated that he meant no
INSULT or i%mpUdence whatever. He is
jamaican, being, in fact, still /
Gtitisb subject. There it is an almost
universal custom to cali policemen
Corporal" as a term Of respect. AT
any rate he was Immediately placed
under arrest by Patrolman Shuttle
worth who started up the street with
him to get the patrol wagon. Becom-
ing faint from constant blows which
he had received he asked permission
to rest a minute. This was denied
him, being ordered to move on. He
was unable to go further, and he lay
down, losing consciousness, which he
did not Raglan until in the hospital.
From the hospital he was taken to
the police station, where bail was re-
fused him. He was fined $40 III the
City Court on the charge of disorder
ly conduct and resisting arrest, which
fine was promptly RENTED by Judge
Baker. DR.. Robb claims that he can
prove by witnesses that he was
dragged and beaten and otherwise
abused while unconscious on the street
the night Of his arrest. He also states
that after the trial in the City Court
the policeman followed him to the
transfer station, cursing him. He was
badly beaten and has not yet fully re-
covered from the pummelling received
at the hands of the policeman. DR..
Robb has been in the city i'll the prac-
tice of his profession about two years.
The four officers state that Their
had been some disturbance in that por-
ton of the city and that they were on
the lookout for the offenders on the
night of the arrest. Robb came down
the street, and as he passed them
reached into his pocket as if he were
going to shoot. He refused to- halt
when called upon to do so and that
he resisted arrest.

Opportunities For Everybody

Opportunity has been said to knock
at the door but once for each lndiyid-

in the olden times, it is decidedly un-
true to-day, A careful perusal of the
advertisements in this issue of the
Journal will show you that oppotuni,
lies for saving money on every thing
YOU use are literally bombarding
your door-2O pounds of standard
granulated sugar for Sl.OO, splendid
piano free, S1.25 pail of cottolene
for $l.0O, 15-cent milk pan for .O5,
where you may obtain the latest and
most up-to-date articles in dry goods
and wearing apparel. These and many
other golden opportunities are pre-
sented to yO u through the columns OF

Let The COnvictS Build The Reads.
*<%<<<%<4,

Two of the greatest problems that
this State, as we'll as many others, has
to deal with at the present time, is
the proper care and utilization OF
prisoners. and the maintainance OF
the public highways. The Crowley
Signal offers solution of these two
difficulties by the marrying of the one
to the other. We believe that the Sig
nal has struck the key to proper So
luton OF the matter, and hope that this
subject may receive the considera ton
that it deserves.
Good roads are pressing necessity,
but there is better way to get them
than to issue national bonds whose
proceeds are to be devoted to building
them, as we suggested at the meeting
OF the convict Labor Good Roads
Association. says the Chicago Journal.
Why should the national govern.
ment Obligate itself to pay 800, OOO, OOO
for that purpose when every State has
cOnvicts enough to do work without
expense?
The Convict Labor Good Roads
Association has the right idea. AT
| present convicts are confined In lnsan'
itary prisons, either kept in idleness
or allowed to compete with free labor,
both of them undeniably bad systems.
Why should not the State compel
| them to get out and build roads, which
apparently will never be constructed
until constructed in that manner!
Such course would be good, not only
for the State, but for the convlcts
! themselves, who would acquire and
maintain health by labor out Of doors.
1t would also lessen crime, as cities
which have chain gangs for offenders
instead of bridewells have proved.
In the prisons of this country there
is an immense amount of labor either
unused or else badly used. 1t should
be employed on the roads, which
service would be of tremendous benefit
to the natl on.

OPERATED BY GASOLINE.
Paul W. Daniels Makes Success OF
His Experiment With RE Binders.

Paul w. Daniels drove up from his
Island Plantation Saturday evening,
where he had been spending the week
looking after the harvesting of his
rice crop. Although it rained every
day during the week, he says he has
cut about 100 acres. Mr.. Daniels is
experimenting with operating the ma
chinery OF his binder with a gasoline
engine. He has arranged his machine
SO that it carries a three and One-half
horsepower gasoline engine upon the
rear, so connected as to operate all
the working parts of the binder, leav-
ing only the pulling of the machine to
the team. By this means he is ena-
bed to get sure and constant motion
OF the sickle, even in the worst bog
al tangle, and in turning corners,
whereas otherwise the machine is
usually dragged through, wasting
large quantities of grain and putting
the teams to d hard strain. In addi-
ton to this saving, by removing the
necessity for the Tugs on the bull
wheel, they can be removed, thus re-
ducing the draft of the machine to an
amount equal to what one horse
would pull. Mr.. Daniels says that
three mules will walk right along all
day with his machine as now operated,
and do it with the same ease that five
or six do ordinarily. The initial cost
of the engine is the only real addi-
tlonal expense, as one man operates
it, and the cost of the gasoline is a
mere tritle. Several other rice plan
tiers are preparing to try the same ex-
pertinent in harvesting their crop this
year.

SOME REASONS WHY
The Voters of This District Should
Voc Against Mr.. PujO.

Holy Writ is authority for the state
ment that GA man cannot serve two
masters. =" If this be a true saying,
Mr.. Pujo cannot serve the people and
the corporations at the same time.
If the people of this country are
ever to free themselves from the
power of predatory wealth and the
corporations, they must do it in some
other way than by continuing to send
corporation lawyers to represent them
in the halls of congress. 1t is assert
ed by Mr.. Pujo's friends that he is
but following a legitimate line of
business in representing the various
corporations that he does. This may
be true, but it is none the less true
that man cannot represent two in
terestS Numerically opposite of each
other and do justice to both of them.
Is it not true that Mr.. Puio, who
asked you for your vote in the meet
ing held here last night, appeared as
counsel against the town of Welsh a
short time ago in the Corielle suit,
and exerted his utmost power and
elOquence in al effort to break the
charter of the town and throw a heavy
burden of costs upon its citizens. Is
it not equally true that Mr.. Pujo came
from Washington to appear against
the Parish of Calcaseu in the famous
or infamous) Sulphur Mine suit, and
by his eloauence and oratorv won for
this corporation suit defrauding the
Parish of Calcasieu out of 500, ZOO. 90
of taxes, an amount equal to at least
S25. 90 for every voter that will vote
for him in this parish, and this amount
Mr.. Voter you must make good? Is
1t not true that when Will Day, a
former resident of Welsh, and citi-
zen of Mr.. Pujo's home town, was
killed by train while in the line of
duty on the Southern Pacific, another
corporation which Mr., Pujo repre-
sents, and the district court awarded
the widow a judgment for $l2 800. 90 ?
Mr.. Pujo went before the supreme
court and secured a revision of the
decision, throwing the costs of both
courts upon the widow. This is all
good work as lawyer, but man
whose profession compels him to
appear against his constituency so
frequently as he has done, can hardly
expect the people to forget it and cast
their vote for him when election
day comes.
Neither is it true, as is being stated
in some sections, that Mr.. Pujo has
secured an appropriation for the
digging of the intercoastal canal in
this district, although such appropria-
ton was secured by Congressman
Broussard for the districton the east.
Nor is Mr.. Pujo the great and only
Patron Saint of the rice industry, as
some people would have you believe.
1t is we'll known fact in this con-
nection that Hon. S. A. Knapp has
done more for the rice interests than
any other man connected with it,

Free Scholarship.

AN unparalleled proposition made by
the TYLER Commercial College, of
Tyler, Texas:
We teach the famous Bvrne Sim
plified Shorthand and Practical Book.
Keeping systems SO vastly superior
to others that the claims we make for
them seem almost incredible. We
make this free scholarship offer to
convince the most skeptical that the
Byrne Simplified Shorthand, Practi.
cal Bookkeeping and Business Train
ing are all that we claim. We offer
a free scholarship to anyone who will
find single individual who ever
finished the Byrne Slmplified Short
hand, laid it aside and took up anoth-
err system and became a successful
writer of the latter in preference to
the Byrne. Hundreds have abandon
ed Pitman, Graham, Gregg, Cross,
etc., for the Byrne.
We will teach any young person
with common school education, who
will attend Our school and do good
average work for three months, to
write legibly $50 words of unfamiliar
matter, court reporting to the minute,
in the Byrne Simplified Shorthand,
and transcribe same to typewriter, or
make no charge for the course. If
you will find any other school in the
United States using any other system
of shorthand that will do this we will
make you present of the course.
With the Byrne Practical Book
keeping and Business Training we
make the student a more proficient &C.
countant and business man, and in
half the time required with other svs-
TENS in other schools. Our work is
all taught on the plan of LEARN to do
by nothing" Our school room is
miniature city, transacting business
in business way. Our students are
using the various books and records,
notes, drafts, deeds, mortgages, etc.,
just as they will use them in the best
regulated business offices. Our school
room is one of practical business
training and not theory.
Our touch method of teaching type
writing is unequalled. We use a
mechanical device of our own which
forces accurate touch writing from the
beginning. The student is taught to
operate by the touch method all stand
ard makes of machines. such as Oil
ver's, Remington's, Underwood's.
Monarch, etc. For catalogue that
will convince you of the wonderful
superiority of the famous Byrne sys.
TENS, address the Tyler Commercial
College, TYLER, Texas. This cata-
logue contains sworn statements, not
only from students. but from the men
from whom they work, and they are
the men to be pleased-they are the
men who should be the Judge of the
merits of our systems and methods of
teaching. Don't listen to the hot air
of some competitor, who is forbidden
to teach our systems, but has realized
their wonderful superiority, and feels
that if he does not do something des.
perate to check our onward march,
there will be no patronage left for
him.

Folk Fooled EN- Again.

The Cole Co. Democrat, printed
at jefferson City, said last week
Every time the gang goes up
against Folk it gets run over. Take
the Denver convention for example
There was no earthly reason or ex-
cuse for any Missourian there to
attempt to insult and discredit the
chief magistrate of Missouri on
that occasion. But the at
tempt was made. none the less
How il ended, the whole country
knows. After having tried for
three or four days at Denver, and
after having schemed and plotted
for three or four months previously
thereto, in order to keep Folk from
having an opportunity TO address
the convention, these gentlemen
were dlscomftted in the end by
seeing Folk receive the only ova-
ton given to any Missourian, and
one of the few big ovations of the
convention. How little it made
them feel we may well imagine.
They should have known that they
didn't have sense enough to ont.
wit Folk. Men who cannot be
gentlemen should at least try to
b, intelligent.
