Sunday afternoon and the result was

City club and while he showed UP
good at the start the Millers succeed
ed in getting to his twisters and ten
hits were the result. The weather
was almost too cold for fast baseball,
but the Blues went through the en-
tire nine innings without the least
sign of an error. Martens, the Min
neapolis left fielder, got into the mis-
taken column with a bad miss of a fly,
but that was the only slip of the af-
ternoon. Jack Sullivan, the Kansas
City catcher, broke his finger and gave
way to Ritter. Manager Jimmy Cob

GOOD FOR GOVERNOR SANDERS.

Governor Sanders plan of building sec
tons of good roads in parishes of Louisiana,
in cooperation with the State Board of Con-
troll, State Board Of Engineers and the
United States Good Roads Bureau is one Of
the grandest moves for the benefit of the
State that he could have conceived. His
plan is to build these model roads with con-
Wet labor, the material for construction to
be furnished by the. Individual parishes
through their police juries. These roads
would be object lessons not only in what can
be accomplished in road building when
proper and scientific methods are followed,
but in the necessary cost of first-class work
and the comparative cheapness of expanding
q required amount in frst-class construction.
There is nothing more needed in the par
igh of SIT. Tamrnany than an illustration Of
what can be be accomplished here in good
road building, and we earnestly hope that
ours may be one of the parishes selected for
demonstration. We are iA,the rut and seem
to be preparing to stay in it. We have be-
come so welded to the habit of scooping up
mud and throwing it into the middle of the
road, at dollar day per man, that we sit
by the roadside and wait longingly for an
other rain to wash it into the bitches SO that
we can throw it back again, with the same
rate of progression that enabled the turtle
to beat the rabbit in long race.

MlSCEGENATION.

1t appears from a sentence imposed by a
Judge of a court in Farmville, Va, that the
miscegenation in that State is subject
to peculiar Interpretation that could hardly
be placed upon it in this State.
In the case in question the man in the
case. one Marcus Lindsay, had negro blood
in his veins, associated with negroes and
had always considered himself negro, and
had married Sophie JONES' a black widow
woman. Yet the judge decided that Lind
say had enough Caucasian blood in his veins
to be considered legally white, and there
fore sentenced him to eighteen years in the
penitentiary. While compelled to pass SEN
tence, the judge stated that he would petit
ton the Governor to pardon the defendant
provided he discontinued his marital rela-
tons.
The law so construed gives no standing to
d man admittedly negro and an associate OF
negroes in a community where he is known,
while it permits him to legally marry a white
woman where he is not known. The object
of the law, as it appears to us, IS to prevent
the corruption of white with negro blood.
AT a recent session of the Louisiana legisla-
tire it was attempted to make the law so
read that one thirty-second part negro blood
should constitute negro within its meaning,
and wlsile this law was defeated by reason
az the 4hy of sustaining such close
distinction. it should hardly be desired that
) man who admits that he has negro blood
n his veins should be prevented from affili-
afino with or marrying into that race, and
certainly carts not that he should be permitted by
J decision of court to mingle his blood with
fhe white race in violation Of the very OBJ
iect of the law.

REGISTER WITHOUT DELAY.

A petition has been prepared with suffi-
cient number Of signatures to bring before
our citizens the question of voting for the
issue of bonds to complete our school house.
Mayor Richard, with full recognition of
the importance and necessity Of accomplish
ing this has so arranged that no difficulty
will be experienced in disposing of these
bonds. But stumbling block has heen dis
covered in the new law that requires that
every voter must re-register and that he
must do this thirty days prior to an election
to entitle him to vote. Therefore it is requi-
site for those who have the interest of edu-
cation at heart to register Immediately SO as
to expedite matters and cause as little delay
as possible Register Immediately, so that
you can get in line and battle for the com
fort and education of your children.
