THE NEW COUNCIL MEETS.

A meeting of the new Council was held last
Wednesday evening" June "a, the proceedings
of which will be found in another column The
Farmer was unanimously elected official jour
nal. Among other business was the election of
Paul ]. Dulion as town marshal When the
term of an official has extended through long
years of faithful service, it rarely happens that
he can pass out of service without regret, and
without leaving in the community a feeling that
it has sustained loss not easily repaired; and
when it was rumored that it was the intention
of the new Council to remove Mr.. Dulion and
to replace him with some member of the new
party expressions of regret were to be heard
on all sides.
For twenty-four years Mr.. Dulion has served
the town of Covington as Marshal, and during
that time he has watched it grow from little
country town with few stores and houses to
it's present proportions. He has stood at the
grave and paid the last tribute Of respect to
many of it's oldtime citizens. He has watched
the youth of the town grow into manhood and
assume the duties of citizenship and government
For twenty-four years he has been familiar
figure in the community as a guardian of the
peace. in whom all have had perfect confidence
Fearless of danger, upright in character, and
competent to perform all the duties required of
him, both as marshal and tax collector, his re-
election by the new Council is sure to meet the
appreciation of the people, and their thanks are
due to Mayor Richard for casting the deciding
vote with view to the best interests of Gov
ington and regardless Of party lines. At the
expiration Of his present term Marshall Dulion
will have servd the people for just one-quarter
of a century
It is understood that Mr.. Dulion will have no
further duties to perform and will devote his
entire time to the Office of marshal, the tax col
lectorship being entirely separate and apart.
The selection of Mr.. E. J. Richard to fill the
Office of Secretary and Tax Collector is a good
one and the combining of the two Offices, with
office hours from to o'clock p. m will be a
great convenience to the public. Also the hold
ing Of the Mayors Court regularly from 9 to 10
o'clock a. m.
The retaining of Night Marshal Lloyd is also a
wise step, and will be generally approved

THE LOCKE BILL PASSED.

The Locke bill, prohibiting race-track gam
bling, was passed by the Senate last Thursday,
and has become law with the Governors sig
nature. It was passed on vote Of q to 19 and
developed very bitter fight charges being
made that some members who were supporters
of the bill had been doped to get them out Of
the way Whether these charges are true or
not has not been proven, but we hope they are
not. 1t is well known that strong influences
are frequently brought to bear to secure vote
against the conviction of the voter, but we
would prefer to believe it not possible that man
equal to to the perpetration of such an act
could get near enough to Senator to drink
with him.
While the law may work an injury to some
interests, the race track was becoming so de-
moralizing, degrading and dangerous to society
as to demand check upon it, and the larger
part of the people of the State will be glad to
learn that the bill has passed.

The collision between the Baton Rouge Ham
mond and Eastern and the Louisiana Railway
and Navigation Company, near Baton Rouge last
Monday, has caused an investigation that may
result in protection from future accidents from
q like cause. The Commission examining, into
the cause of the wreck state that it was due to
and every train to come to a dead stop within
200 feet Of each crossing. Had this been done,
there would have been no accident.
A bill is being prepared to be introduced N

or to otherwise fail to comply with the law
