Defeated by only one vote for re-
election as one Of the Municipal MaRis-
trates OF Queens James F. Mclaughlin
OF Jamaica thinks he has just cause for
asking for the counting Of seventeen
ballots in the Sixteenth Election district
OF Jamaica which were not included by
the inspectors in their returns. but were
simply marked for Identification.
Judge Mclaughlin was running on the
Democratic ticket an d he received a
total Of 4.2ss votes. while his successful
Republican rival. former Assemblyman
William A. De Groot, received 4.2S9 votes.
Through his attorney. Lesnder B. Faber.
Judge Mclaughlin appeared before
Justice GarretsOn in the Flushing Su-
preme Court yesterday and asked that
the election board OF the Sixteenth dis
trict be directed to reconvene and can
vass the seventeen ballots marked for
Identification.
It is not known for whom the ballots
in qH Nstion were cast. DE Groot is willing
to content himself with a majority OF
one vote. Justice Garretson put the
question over until tomorrow. when both
sides will present their arguments.

TRUE DEMOCRATS
new MACHINERY,

The TRUE DEMOCRAT has re-.
Gently added a modern wire
stitching machine to its already
superior mechanical equipment.
This new piece of machinery was
made necessary by the large
amount of book and pamphlet
work now being done in THE
TRUE DEMOCRAT PRINTERY.
This machine is the best of it's
kind made and covers a wide
range of work. 1t will bind from
two sheets up to one-half inch in
thickness. 1t is a power ma,
chine and runs as nicely as a
sewing machine.
By putting in this machine,
THE TRUE DEMOCRAT again
brings ST. Francisville a few
PAGES to the fore in'the printing
industry. We already have one
of the best appointed and equip
ped printing offices located in
any country town in Louisiana
and we can state with absolute
certainty that there are not a
half dozen of these stitching ma
chimes in Louisiana outside of
New Orleans and Shreveport.
With our superior equipment
it is unnecessary for people of
this parish to send away from
home for printing, unless it be
of a most extraordinary kind.
We do a large majority of the
printing of West Feliciana and
have built up a substantial pat
ronage in a half dozen neighbor-
ing parishes. Where quality and

But They Didn't Need Revising.

Crowley Signal:
Let US admit that the books
needed revising. Let US acknowl-
edge that we had to overhaul all
the school books used last year
and make each child get an en-.
tirely new set. What's the OBJ
lection?
The objection is that it bars
the door of the temple of learning
against whole families. 1t con-
dennis many a poor boy and girl
to stay at home who otherwise
would have acquired the rudi.
ments of an education. Would
the world have had a Henry Clay

Planting Cotton Seed.
Coushatta Citizen:

CouShatta Citizen:
Most farmers are learning tnat
it doesn't pay to buy planting
cotton seed at a fancy price and
let them run out, as they will in
a few years. The sensible plan
is to improve. your own cotton by
selection. Select your best seed
every year and plant them, and
in a few years you can develop
as snowy a variety of cotton as
any. All better varieties are de-
veloped in practically the same
way.

Having heard of the agricul.
tural innovation in West Felici.
ana in the way Of rice-culture
along the valley Of ThOmpson's
creek, Mr.. Amedee Leonard
and | drove out to the rice-feldS
on Tuesday for the special pur.
pose Of viewing the new West
FeliciaDa industry at close range.
We found two threshing out
fits busily engaged about two
miles apart, one on the place Of
Mr.. Fletcher Harvey and the
other on that of Mr.. JnO. +. Ard
Jr. Both of these gentlemen,
having seen during the year past
that the raising of cotton here in
1909 would be extremely prob
lematical, determined in the be.
ginning of this year to try rice.
Mr.. Harvey purchased a
large portable engine and a first
class rice-thresher, the engine
being also suitable for running
the pumping-plant to secure wa
ter for his rice, as well as for run
nings the threSher. Mr.. Ard
Earcfiased the most improved
combined reaper and binder for
harvesting the crop and a gasO-
line engine to run his pumping
plant.
Mr.. Harvey planted some ~
acres Of the best StOrm.prOOf ia
pan rice, laying off his field ac-
cOrding TO the modern methods
by constructing the necessary
canals and dykes and planting
the grain in the spring; then
flooding the field with water
pumped from Hammers creek,
raising the water fully sixty feet
through five inch piping, thence
into the main canal.
Mr.. Ard planted Il beautiful
level field right in the valley of
Thompson creek, along its banks,
laying off his field in the same
manner, in accordance with the
best methods of rice-culture and
also planting the best storm
proof Japan rice and securing
water direct from Thompson'S
creek by pumping with COMPARE
lively little expense, as ii was
necessary to raise the water only
about fifteen feet after reaching
the level of his main canal. Mr..
Ard did not purchase a threshcr
this year, but is threshing his
crop with a small oat-thresher,
which, while not having half the
capacity of the regular rice.
