Death at 4th Of July Dance.

William Justice, of Grayson. was
Eillrd in a pistol duel at a Fourth
C July platform dance al Foley,
Logan county, on last Tuesday night,
h,s slayer being Sherd Baldwin, the

il said to have been indirectly the
result Of an Old quarrel between the

people in attendance
"DETAILS of the affair are meagre,
hu' it seems that Baldwin had gone
toJhe dance accompanied by a woman
relative, said to have been his daugh-
ter. During the progress of the revel
this woman in some way aroused the
jealousy of another woman, who
attacked her, mflctng severe
heating before Baldwin could, or did,
Interfere. When he did interfere,
however, he attacked the second wO-
man fiercely, knocking her down and
Kicking her. At this JUnClure Jus

leave the woman alone and rot to
kick her again. Needless Of the
warning. Baldwin struck the pros

Justice pulled revolver and fired at
| HIM. Baldwin cody knocked aside
Ithe weapon of his adversary, drew
his own revolver and shot, the bullet
entering Justices side, producing in
stant death
The affair created tremendous eX-
element and, as the bystanders were
,inclned to take up the quarrel, it
locked fer a time as if there might
be more serious trouble. The distur-
bauce was Quelled after a time and

arrested The body of Justice was
taken to Logan, prepared for burial

The Coal and Railroad Situation.

In speaking of the coal and rail-
road situation in Eastern Kentucky
the Manufacturers Record has the
following:
The stores of fuel in the hills are
tremendous; almost not believed, eX-
crpling by those who have looked
Into them, yet Notwithstanding that
these resources Of nature are so far
in excess OF any immediate demands
to be made upon them, the railroad
facilities to meet the demands of the
near future are inadequate, and they
must be enlarged and improved, or
Else the South's industrial growth
would fail Of its possibilities. There
fore we may oXect to see more rail-
road building and more connections
for getting out the coal.
An acre of coal land will produce
from 5000 to 10000 tons Of freight;
On acre of agricultural land should
annually produce one-thrd TO QUE
half a ton Of freight. aud in some
rare cases ton Thus an acre OF
coal land when mined viii yield as
murh freight in one year as an acre
Of .rriculrmal land would produce
in .OoO to lO,oOo years or more. j.

FINE COTTON.

Mr.. Frank L. Gullbeau brought
To this Office this week Il few stalks
of cotton coming from MIR. DAVIS
Dees' field near BreauX Bridge,
which were loaded with bolls and
flowers. An examination of this
cotton, of which Mr.. Rees has sew
enty acres, shows that the weevll
did very little damage, if none at
all.
Mr.. Rees planted this cotton on
March 4th and made up his mind
that he was going to raise u good
crop III spite of the weevll, If this
was possible.
As soon as the crop started to
grow, Mr.. Rses had his employees
To look for tho weevils while work
ing the cotton, and to pick up
every square that would fall to the
ground.
Tho result of Mr.. Rees' system
of cultivation is. that his crop at
the present time Shows II full half
crop, aud if he can keep the wee

CANAL ELECTION.

We desire to call to the atten-
ton of the voters of ST. Martin
Vile few facts concerning the
canal election which will take place
in st. Martiuville on Thursday
July 18th 1909, at the Court house.
The tax is for the building of IA
navigation canal to connect Bayou
Teche with Bayou Portage /" get
connection with our vast swamps.
The tax will he i mills for fiji
teeD yeats or until So. 5000 have
been raised. This tax will raise
IN this town not more than 81,
5000 every year. Therefore, rs
our assessment increases the lax
will be reduced accordingly. The
amount of the tax is specified, We
cannot DO taxed for more than is
necessary to raise the specified
amount.
Bear in mind, the election will
take place on Thursday July 18th
at the Court house, and We expect
almost solid vote will be cast IN
favor of the tax which tax will
open the canal that will bring To
St. Martinville II business and
prosperity We cannot dream OF.
We know there is n little oppo-
sitlon to this project which will
mean SO much good for this town
and parish, we expect that a half
dozen votes will be cast against
the tax in the town election, bat
we know that the effort of the OPP
position will not amount to much
when the result of the election
will be proclaimed.

At the meeting of the Town
Council Monday Mr.. Cab. }. Bien-
vruu appeared before the Council
aud presented a petition about a
yard long praying that the Coun-
Gil suspend the stock law SO rs to
allow cattle to roam at large and
feed in our streets and bitches

which of course had nothing else
in view except for the good of the
large number of poor people who
had no other means to feed their
COWS except Oh the public streets.

the interest of the poor.

Fire AT The Picture Show.
NapOleonyille Pioneer.

What came very near being a
serious fire, occurred in this town
Wednesday at the Corde Opera
House, during the exhibition Of
the Moving Picture Show. 1t APP
pears hat while one of the pictures
was being shown, the film which
WAS TO be used next, aud which
was lying near the operator In the
asbestos room, suddenly took fire,
aud the whole room was instantly
ablaze. In very short time the
fire WAS exlinguished, but two of
the films were totally destroyed
aud the picture machine was also
damaged. How the film caught
fire is mystery and it is IA fortu-
nate thing that the room where
the pictures were operated from
was of asbestos, otherwise the
opera house would have been in
danger of destruction.
There was the usual week day
crowd present during the fire, and
when the flames appeared, a rush
was made to get out of the bull
ding. No one was hurt. The fire
alarm was sounded and the men,
bers of the fire department were
there on time, but it was not ne
cessary to turn-on the water.

COUNCIL V|NDICATES MAYOR ON
SCREEN ORDINANCE COMPLAINT

Before the council received the COM
munication from the ministers Mayor
Turnbull explained by saying that the
saloonists who appeared before him
had not been arrested, but that they
appeared in his court room upon an
invitation from him and that they
were merely brought there for the
purpose of having the ordinance full
ly explained, some of them being un-
acquainted with its provisions.
When this communication arrived
in the council chamber it was referred
to the law committee for a report,
Councilman williams being the chair
man.
Monday night Mr.. Williams made
his report. He said that no arrests
had been made of the thirty men,
as the mayor had previously stated,
but that several fines had been impos-
ed since that time for infractions of
the ordinance named.
His report was adopted, and those
who had expected to make political
capital out of the affair were some
what disappointed.

The ChiIlicothe Battle.
While the battle was decidedly
spirited and there were many arrests
there was no serious disorder. Great
ly exaggerated reports of conditions
in Chillicothe were sent out in the
course of the day, but they were
quickly punctured.
The many arrests were made on
technical charges. In practically
every instance the arrest was made
that some leader might be removed
from the scene of the fray for a
For the most part, the work at the
polls was carried on good-natured-
ly, and there was not real fight all
day.
Sensational reports of the calling
out of militia, of wholesale assaults
and depredations sent out from Chill
licothe and printed in Columbus and
elsewhere, were shown by investi-
cation to be utterly unfounded.
Mayor Yaple, in discussing the
matter, branded the rumors as false
hoods, and said they appeared to
have been circulated as a deliberate
attempt TO injure the Ross county
capital.
He declared that the election was
one of the most orderly ever held,
and that aside from one or two min
or assaults by deputy sheriffs and
citizens after the polls had closed,
there was absolutely nothing to be
criticised. The mayor said that citi-
zens of Chillicothe are highly in
censed at the false reports, which
they consider a deliberate slap at
Chillicothe.

anese effects, with all plants and
shrubs transplanted from the Orient.
The spirit of emulation goes dowr
to the poorer classes, and many old
shacks are set in the midst of purple
and gold blooms. With the middle
class the bungalow garden is most
popular.
Here there is a wealth of ferns,
umbrella plants, papyrus and other
plants, in the middle of which the
house is set Lround and through
are hedges of crimson or pink gerani-
ums, or the Cherokee rose, which
when in bloom look like snowdrifts.
Cypress hedges, too, are used, but
custom has it that no hedge must sep
arate the grounds from the street.
The geraniums in California are
wonders. With support they will
climb to the tops of houses and
barns.
The cities use flower hedges and
street gardens in the parl1ings, and
scarcely a thoroughfare but has a
touch of rich color. The flame tree,
each branch of which is tipped with
orange red blossoms, and the yellow
acacia described as looking like an
escaped sun, pepper trees, palms,
camphor, live oaks and evergreens
are popular for street planting. .-Bos-
