A gentleman in conversation
said that the difference between
Louisiana and Georgia, This ma
tive state) is that in Georgia the
wagons go to town full, in Louisi-
ana they go empty and return
home full. 1t is the difference
between a One-crOp and an all
round crop country, country
that lives and dies on credit and
one that pays it's way as it goes.
The wagon that goes to town full
of hOme-raiSed products and re-
turns with only such cOmmOdi-
ties that cannot be produced at
home means a fuller pocket, book
than an empty wagon coming in
and a full one land perhaps a full
driver returning with produce
that should have been raised on
the farm, a string of debts on
the town merchants ledger, and
an empty pocket book most OF
the year.

Biz Circus al Baton Rouge.

A great many people are 90,
ing to Baton Rouge on Nov. : to
the Ringing Bros. Circus. 1T
will be the only opportunity this
year and the railroads are pre-
pairing to handle thousands of
visitors from the surrounding
territory.
Ringing Brothers have made
many important improvements
since they last appeared in this
part of the country. At Madi-
Square Garden, New York,
where the season began, the
performances were attended
nightly by the biggest crowds
that ever saw a circus in Man
haitian, and the newspapers were
not backward about saying that
the Ringing Brothers were pre-
senting, in every respect, the
best entertainment of the kind
ever given there. The perform
ances in Baton Rouge will be
identical with those given in the
Garden, not the slightest change
having been made in the long
program.
The circus offered this year is
one of wonderful novelty. In
stead of the usual single thriller
presented by other circuses, the
Ringing Brothers are heading
their bill with no less than seven
of the greatest and most sensa'
tional acts that have eyer been
presented anywhere on earth.
The parade will be given in the
forenoon. 1t will far surpass the
brilliant pageants which the
Ringing Brothers have given in
past years, having been entirely
rebuilt in the foreign workshops
of the show at Liverpool, Eng
land.

Jeff Franklin, a negro on L. W.

able excitement Saturday night
in the Fourth Ward by attempt
ing to murder his wife on the
public highway. Franklin and
his wife had had some trouble,
and she left and went to the
Stewart place to avoid him.
Franklin followed and was or
dered off the place. He went for
his shotgun and secreted himself
in the underbrush along the
roadside. Hearing his daughter
and another woman coming, he
fired upon the larger of the two,
thinking it was his wife, but it
proved to be Jane White, another
negro woman. After seeing his
mistake, he fed and is still at
large. The woman, Jane White,
is filled full of small shot from
her waist down.

selves to the press, Later to a
Times-Democrat reporter, Mr..
Pipes is reported as saying:
CDR. McKowen never gave me
any reason to believe that he was
insane. But if he is guilty OF
this murder, which | do not be-
lieve, he must be insane. | have
never considered him eccentric
even. He has had a fine medical
practice for many years, and
none of his patients even sus-
pected him of insanity or they
would not have trusted them
selves to his ministrations."
The arrest of DR.. McKowen
recalls to general notice the
anonymous letter scandal in
Jackson, last year, which rent
that community in twain, and
engendered bitterness and i'll
feeling among the best people Ut
the town and parish. For a
period of some months in 1908,
there was an outbreak of anOny
nous letter-writing, the vilest
illusions being addressed tC
many of the most prominent peO
pie in the town. Complaint was
made to the postal authorities
and investigation was made ano
Dr.. McKowen was indicted or
two charges of this kind in the
Federal court at New Orleans
and his case assigned to the
Federal court at Baton Rouge
At two terms of the court the
trial was continued, but it is
scheduled to come up at the
November term. On the night
of Oct. 3, 1908, an explosion of {
bomb occurred on the premises
of Dr.. McKOwen. He exhibited
wound which he claimed to have
received by the explosion of the
bomb, which was very crudely
constructed out of an old pot anC
some wire. A number of the
tOwnspeople unwilling to suffer
the imputatiOn of committing
such an outrage employed a de
tective, who expressed the Opin
ion formed on his investigation
that no real assassination hat
been attempted. On the otheJ
hand, DR.. McKOwen had EN-
ployed a detective of the Nc
Mahon agency in his own inter
est, who made counter claim
and assertions. Nothing defnit
came of it, although for a Will
trouble was mOmentarily eX
pected, but which simmere,
down to a tense and never-fOrgOt
ten feeling between the two fac
tions-thOse who believed in Dr.
McKOWen'S entire innocence an,
those who did not.
DR.. McKowen gave an articl
to the newspapers at the time G
the occurrence in which he state
that he wonld shortly make som
startling developments and int
mated that he would take legs
action against some of his enc
mics. He never did so, and tn
public was waiting for deve
opments of the case at the e1
pected trial at the Novembe
term of the Federal Cour
Whether the crime of which Dl
McKowen is now accused, is COZ
nected with the former charge
against him, remains to be pro-
en-. 1t is however certain tina
an intimacy existed between tn
physician and the demented MAJ
as the latter on the occasion
when he visited town Away
stated that he did so to visit d.

friends, who stand by him
through all his troubles, and who
refuse to believe any i'll of him.
Many other good friends, who
have hitherto stOutly maintained
his innocence, staggered by the
array of circumstantial evidence
adduced in the present case, de.
clare that if it is possible that he
can have committed so heinous a.
crime, that it is an evidence that
he is insane, This hypothesis is
largely accepted. Dr.. McKOwen,
by advice of counsel, has made
no statement, except a general
denial of the charge at the he
ginning, and preserves an air Of
calmness and even Indifference
to the grave issue that now con.
fronts him. Many of his friends
visit him at the jail to show their
sympathy and interest, but the
all important subject is not
preached. Mrs. McKowen visit
ed him on Wednesday, and if he
remain in Jail, will come to ST..
FranciSville to be near him.
Those, who theorize on the Jud'
son murder case, account for the
; finding of the body at that par
ticular point, by supposing that
it was brought there to be laid
, on the track before the passing
of the Bayou Sara AccOmmoda,

schoolhouse at Wakefield, came
up on the train and passed over
the spot where the body was at

JUDGE SoMERs A DISCIPLE OF SWEENEY

The Goldfeld Tribune prints the following Tuesday morning;
There's likely to be a brisk fight on at Carson City this week
over the Nye county division bill and Jack Mclaughlin, county chair
man, accompanied by Judge P. J. Somers of the district court, will
leave TO. the battle ground this morning. Their visit will be in the
interest of the boundaries of the proposed judicial district in case the
lower end of Nye county is cut Off"
Judge p. ]. Somers is trying to work up a scheme whereby If
Ne county could be divided, the new county would become a part
of his judicial district and increase his salary. Think of this, this
Judge for his greed for gold would ask that a county be divided
that the shekels might roll into his pocket. This man Somers is
from Colorado, and undoubtedly Is like the judges that spoke for
the antlgambling bill before the assembly. They goried in the
downfall of Colorado and 1t seems Somers would be jubilant over
the downfall of the people of Nye county. We say to you senators
send him home and tell him to attend to his judicial affairs, clear
up his docket for which he is paid and for which Governor Dicker-
son appointed him. The governor should give this judge a severe
reprimand for the calendar of his court is behind two years ac-
eording to all reports. This is another case of too much Sweeney,
both are severely reprimanded by the people. Goldfeld had better
look to her own laurels.

UNIQUE CASE
 IN COLUMBUS

Columbus, Ga. January 19.-(Special J. It will be remembered that not long since J. W. Green, a near beer dealer in this city, while waiting for the su- preme court to pass upon the constitu- tionality of the "near beer" tax law. gave his bond to Judge William Redd to se- cure the payment of his license to sell near beer. When the supreme court de- clared that the law was constitutional and valid the judge called upon Green to pay the amount of the license, and he refused to do so, whereupon a war rant was sworn out for Green, charg- ing him with a misdemeanor. Green set up as his defense in the case that he had secured the license from Judge Redd, and that he had not been guilty of the mere fact that the defendant had given bond for the license did not make that paper a valid one. But the defense stood upon the license in hand, and won out in the city court.
 The case has now taken a new turn. While in some states cash is the only con- sideration in payment of license of this character, Georgia 1t seems is not one of them. It is one of the few states where a note, while considered irregu- lar does not invalidate the license, and the note may be collected by suit The state in the case of Green, 1t is under stood, will now proceed to file civil suit against Green for the amount of the tax, and try to collect 1t in that manner The only question seems to be whether or not the bond may be regarded in tho light of a promsory note. The amount in volved is s2oo J. W. Bishop is Greens bondsman
