WITH a friend Mrs Lincoln sent one Of
the boys, perhaps Tad. TO call him TO

sorbed with the game and gave no
heed Again the boy came with the
message Same result Four or five
times the operation was repeated
Each time the father promised to come,
but remained immersed in the game,
at last the boy deliberately swept all
the chessmen to the Goor. Without a
word Mr. Lincoln gathered the lad in
his arms and started for home Any

required.

were allowed TO do as they pleased

PRESS COMMENT.
CHAIRMAN SLEMP'S BAD MEM
DRY

Surely the Republican chairman
must be developing a bad memory.
We cannot believe that he would de-
Iiberately make such a statement as
this if he read the newspapers during
The recent Democratic primary and
remembered what he read. Every
body who knows anything about the
primary campaign at all knows that
both Judge Mann and his unsuccess-
full opponent, Mr. Tucker. were close
ly catechized by the officials of the
Anti-Salool League and that both OF
them declared that in the event the
legislature passed a bill submitting
the Statewide prohibition question
to vote of the people they would
sign &c. Judge Mana made this dec
laration over and over again i'm his
speeches and Mr. Tucker put him
self on record more than once.

MY LOST YOUTH.

often | think Of the beautiful town
That is seated by the sea;
often in thought We go up and down
The pleasant streets OF that dear old
towl,
And my youth comes back to me,
And a verse of Lapland song
is haunting my memory stll;
a boy will is the winds will.
And the thoughts of youth are long
long thoughts"
/ remember the CLEANS ana glooms
that dart
Across the schoolboy's brain;
The song and the silence in the
heart,
That ia part are prophecies, and in
part
Are longings wild and vain.
And the voice OF that ntrul
song
Sings on and is never still;
"A boys will is the winds will.
And the thoughts of youth are long.
long. thoughts"
There are things Of which l may not
speak;
There are dreams that can not
die;
There are thoughts that make the
strong heart weak,
And bring a pallor into the cheek.
And mist before the eye.
And the words of that fatal
song
Come over me like a chill:
"A boys will is the winds will
And the thoughts OF youth are long.
long, thoughts"
Strange to me now are the forms I
meet
When visit the dear old town.
But the native air is pure and sweet
And the trees that o'ershadow each
well-lnown street,
''''' "dA"H'' up and down,
Are singing the beautiful song.
Are signing and whispering still:
"A boys will is the winds will
And the thoughts of youth are long.
long, thoughts"

And behring's woods are fresh and
fair,
And with Joy that is almost pain
My heart goes back TO wander there
And among the dreams of the day.

song,
The groves are repeating sulI.

WHITES ONLY TO VOTE
SENATOR CULLOM WOULD ELM.
MATE THE NEGRO.
Declares That tho South Believer in
tho Republican Doctrine Of
Protective Doctrine.

Washington. 49, Senator Shelby NJ.
Cullom, of Illinois, chairman of the for.
eign relations committee, has two politi.
cal ideas.
One of these is that if the negro did
not vote in the South all the Southern
States would join the Republican party.
The other is that the negroes ought
to be permitted to vote everywhere else,
including the State of Illinois.
MIR. Cullom, talking on these subjects,
said in part:
president Taft is showing wisdom in
his Southern tour. Mr.. Taft is ming
ling with the Southern people in order
that he may get better acquainted with
them and they with him.
"Of course, the president doesn't in
tend to surrender any principle, but at
the same time he is willing to make con-
cessions to the Southern people common
surate with any fair sense of Justice.
"And likewise does he intend to eradi-
cate the Mason and Dixon line. In my
opinion, he is just the man for that task
and if he doesn't accomplish it, to a Ger.
tain degree at least, | shall be sadly mis-
taken.
That line must be wiped out at some
era or another, that much is a certainty,
and | can't see any logical reasons why
the proper action shouldn't come right
now. There are several States in the
South simply ripe for falling into the
Republican column.
Eliminate the negro from politics in
the South-give that section of the
country an exclusively white ballot, or
a reimbursement, which shall mean an
absolute and unequivocal white suprem.
acy in the management of it's whole af-
fairs, and there's not a State below the
Mason and Dixon line which will not be
found in the Republican column of the
electoral college.
"The whole South believes in and
really needs the enforcement of the Re-
publican doctrine of a protective tariff.
Therefore, the people of that section
would like to vote in behalf of candidates
congressional, national and State
who would support such a policy"

SUGAR CROP SHORT
CANE YIELD HEAVY BUT SAC
CHARlNE is LIGHT.
Large Platers Who Study Situation
are Inclined to Blame the
September Storm.

Baton ROuge.-Cane grinding that
has been done on a number of SUI
gar places In this section has dem.
Onstrated that the September storm
damage was not in broken cane, but
in the loss Of %saccharine caused by
the upr0oting and stripping OF the
storm.
Cane that should yield $50 pounds
of s%accharine to the ton, and which
did yield that amount last year, is
producing an average of only about
IS pounds, and the manager of one
of the large sugar Plantations, who
last year made a total of 25~O,O00,OO0
pounds Of sugar, this year will not
make over 10000 pounds, judging
from the present yield of a ton per
acre.
The tonnage is as large, or even
larger than last year, but many Of
the planters report a similar falling
off in saccharine, and think it is due
to the fact that much of the cane
was disturbed at a critical period OF
its growth.

SANDERS GOOD ROADS PLAN.
Committee Investigates Work and
Makes Favorable Report.

Natchitoches.-Too much emphasis
cannot be placed on the action of
the police jury in adopting the San
ders' plan of good roads building.
The committee of four members of
the jury, appointed at the October
meeting, to make a thorough inves-
tigation of the operations under the
Sanders plan in DeSoto and Ouchita
Parishes, submitted an unanimous re.
port indorsing the plan, and suggest
ed that the ordinance be passed in
full accordance with the plans as pre-
~viOusly outlined.
The report of the committee was
unanimously adopted. An ordinance
carrying into effect the report of the
committee, and which binds the jury
to the Sanders plan of good roads,
was then adopted. The result was
greeted by applause from the large
number of citizens who had gathered
to hear the proceedings. There is
said to be a feeling of general sat-
isfaction in the action of the pO-
lice jury.

MAY SC0URGE UNITED STATES
Rigorous Measure Must Be Taken tc
Stop Spread of Pellagra.

Columbia, S. C.-"WhiIe We regard
MIR. Rockefcller's princcly gift for the
eradication of the hook worm at its
true value, we say one million dollars
for the battle against the disease of
pellegra would be far more valuable"
declared Col. +. }. Watson, South Caro-.
Iina's commissioner of agriculture, con.
mcrce and industries, in an address on
the economic factors in the pellagra
problem in South Carolina, before the
first national conference on pellagra,
which opened here Wednesday, with an
attendance of three hundred prominent
physicians and scientists representing
more than a third of the States and the
United States government. Colonel Wat.
son has made a careful study of pcllagra
because Of the generally accepted theory
that it is due to the consumption of i'm.
pure corn and corn products. He declared
that o only the Federal government,
but the corn consuming States as well,
must put into force a rigorous inspection
of corn and corn products.
In this view, Colonel Watson has the
support of the eminent physicians and
scientific investigators attending the con
ference. All agree that radical measures
must be taken, and without delay, to
prevent the spread of this disease.
