HE TELLS WHAT WILL BE DONE

Denver. colo.
September 3, 1909.
Editor of Sentinel.
Grand Junction, Colo.
Dear Sir:-At a meeting of the
advisory board of the Colorado Ma
tional Apple exposition, held in Den
yer last week, the fact was brought
out that people in the fruit sections
would like to know what is to be
done with any surplus funds that
there might be, provided the Apple
show is a financial success.
] therefore write you to state that,
in case there should be a surplus,
said surplus has been pledged to a
fund to be used in advertising the
fruit sections of Colorado, not en-
tirely from real estate standpoint,
but with the idea in view of bring
ing to the public the fact that our
product is much superior to that
from any other section.
This fund will be handled by the
board of directors and the advisory
board Mr.. j. F. Moore and Mr.. s.
c. McMullin are the members of the
advisory board from your section.
and we do not doubt that your com
munity will be satisfied with their
actions as members of the board.
VIII you kindly make this state
ment to your people in order that the
understanding may be perfect? APP
pie picking time is now on and we
trust that you will handle the Apple
show subject enthusiastically in or
der that your growers may not neg
lect to save such exhibits as will be
representative of your production.
The publicity of the next three weeks
viii mean more to the growers than
any amount thereafter.
Yours very sincerely,
CLINTON l.. OLIVER,

AN EVER PRESENT DANGER

NatcItochcs Times: The desperate
effort OF the negro Isaac Henry to kill
every white man in sight last Saturday
Is but an indication OF the state of the
negro mind. 1t shows that some day.
some time. we must face thc inevitable
a clash between the races Almost every
day the South learns, or has the chance
70 learn. Of lis danger from the black
ticnd that lies at her door.
The Nttclitoche, Times should have
added that this negro was drunk.
In its editorial comment OF the disor-
derby conduct OF this negro. under the
caption An Ever Present Danger the
Natcllltoches Enterprise says:
Here was a negro who had been
raised IN and near this town. who was
known by everybody and who knew ev-
erybody. who was regarded as a shift
less but inoffensive and rather humble
creature, and yet without any sort OF
adequate provocation suddenly devel-
intent upon taking the life OF any white
man who came within reach of his dead
ly revolver. The explanation of
the sudden change in the character and
conduct OF this negro, as given by him
self, is the only rational one, namely,
the effect of the bad liquor that he had
1r,,,
from Alexandria.
he negro, Henry. may congratulate
himself that he was not killed, but here
is the very essense of one of the several
points of the issue: Why should intoxi-
cants from Alexandria or any other
town be permitted delivery in Natchi-
toches. or i'll any community. where pro-
hibtion is law
If it be impossible to prevent the de-
livery of intoxicants in community
which stands for prohibition, there may
be afforded some relief, or at least the
evil may be 1ninimized. through State
wide prohibition
In closing its remarks the Enterprise
observes: 1T may well be questioned
whether the people of any section of the
State have the right to maintain an in
stitution which is a constant menace to
the lives and the health and the pros
perity of the entire State, simply be-
cause they themselves are willing to
tolerate such institutions.

held Tuesday at the residence of the
president Of the chapter. Mrs. c. F.

celebration of the anniversary of the

9Th of April.
The exercises will be held in the court
house A speaker to deliver the annual
Grafton has not been secured. although
it is hoped that Governor Sanders or
Judge Bell of Shreveport. or both of
them, will be here Mrs. Alison of
Arcadia will be present and read an ad-
dress. The lady is true lover of the
Lost Cause and her paper has been pro-
nounced one of the best of its kind
ever delivered in several Louisiana
towns
The Veterans will be asked to make
short talks, giving "reminiscences and re-
lating incidents i'll which they partici-
pated. This will be a new feature in
celebrations and one the Daughters hope
the Veterans will take advantage of.
1t is hoped to make the occasion of
more interest to the Veterans than to
others. hence the new departure.
The Daughters will exert themselves
to make the Veterans pass the day
pleasantly, and it is hoped as many of
them as can come will do 50. There
will be no parade or spectacular scenes.
but the programme will be good eating
and plenty of talk.
