BAN ON NEER BEER.
Nothing With Any Percentage OF AL.
c0h0l in it Can be Sold.

In his charge to the grand jury now
in session, Judge Campbell instructed
them to indict sellers of sO-called
"neer' beers without regard to the
percentage of alcohol they contain.
Judge Campbell says in his charge,
"the parish of Acadia is dry parish,
the people having voted it dry, and
anyone selling any malt, vinous Or
sDirituous liquors, must be by you in
dicted, for no one has the right to
sell any spirituous liquor or any bev-
erage containing the least part of al
cOhOl, be it under whatever name it is
or may be called by him or them SELL
ing it," Judge Campbell further says
that the court will do its duty under
and all circumstances in the matter.
1t is expected that prosecutions of
"neer" beer sellers will follow, and
that the court will hold that the sale
OF any beverage containing any per.
centage of alcohol, no matter how
small, is illegal and violation of
the prohibition law.-Crowley Signal.

Welsh bThe Best Place Yet.

A letter to the journal, mailed
at Markham, Texas, from Mr.. Eduard
Schartf, was received the latter part
OF last week, stating that he would
probably return to Welsh in the near
future. as he has been unable to find
anything as an investment, which
compares favOrably with that which
this vicinity offers. 1t will be remem-
bered that it was due TO the failing
health of Mrs. Scharff that he dis.
posed OF his interests here. Mr..
Scharff and son Lynton, have a host
OF friends, who deeply sympathize
with them in their recent loss of wife
and mother, and who will welcome
their return to Welsh.

Rev. W. B Logan Delivered Two Elk.
cellent Sermons at the Presby-
terrain Church Sunday,

Rev. W. B. Logan of Smithfield,
Ohio3 arrived in Welsh last Friday
and preached two excellent sermons
Sunday, morning and evening, at the
Presbyterian church, using as his
text for the morning service, "She
hath done what she could" and in a
most impressive and logical manner
taught the lesson of living and giving
ones best to others.
The evening lesson of character
building, was based on the text, SIS
the young man, Absolem, safe?" 1t
was addressed largely to those of the
congregation who were parents. In
part, he said: "The boy that disdains
the authority of the home, defes the
father and disobeys the mother de-
,velopes into the man who respects
neither law of state or nation. That
the boy is not safe, is often because
his father is not sound" He also
paid a beautiful tribute to mother.
hood.
Rev Logan is q man of unusual
talent and ability. His sermons are
logical and excellently delivered, in
terspersed as they are, with bits of
choicest literature from the master
writer's, and bringing the lesson home
doubly impressive because of the Ian
guage in which it is couched. He will
remain here this week, and next Sun
day morning will preach at II O'Clock
and in the evening ats O'Clock. All
who have not a regular place to
worship are cordially invited.

IMPROVE 0 PUMPING PLANTS.
Steel Pits Rapidly Taking the Place of
Old Style Pits.

AS we drive over the country and
see the numerous pumping plants in
operation, we cannot help but wonder
at the great improvements that have
been made in pumping machinery
within the past few years.
The old style of digging a deep pit,
was slow, as well as a dangerous
process. Often we have heard of
someone having to stop before having
gone half deep enough. because of
quicksand Or too much water, and the
consequence would be that when the
water level had gone down, as it al
ways does in pumping season, that
the owner of this plant could not get
the amount of water he needed.
But now, things have changed. H.
stead of the old way of digging great
holes in the ground, we now have the
improved steel pit, which can be put
down to great depth without the
need of man exposing himself to the
dangers of the old style pit.
1t used to be common occurrence
to hear that "Mr. So and Sos" pit
had caved in and covered his pump.
When this happened he was sometimes
compelled to 60 to the expense of put
ting down new we'll. This usually
meant that the profit on his crop was
gone.
With the new steel pit all repairs to
the pump can be made from the sur
face of the ground without any danger
whatever.
With the new steel pit you can have
your pump set at a depth where you
know the water will never 20 below 1t,
and you will not have to prime your
pump every time you want to start up.
Many of the planters are now using
gasoline engines instead of steam.
This is great advantage over the
old way, as with the gasoline engine
the engineer only needs to be at the
plant a short time each day. whereas,
with the steam engine, the engineer
must be on duty all the time.
This 81 an age CT progress, and the
Yankee mind is SO busy with new in
ventions that we predict it will only be
few years until the farmer will go
out and see how much water his rice
needs, and all he will have to do will
be to step to the wall, turn an electric
switch or push button and the water
will go just where be wants it.
Welsh is in the heart of the vel,
district, and any Improvement in
pumping machinery is quickly taken
advantage of here. And, by the way,
did you eyer notice that the man who
is in a position to furnish water for
his rice just when it needs it, is usu-
ally prosperous man?

LINCOLN, Nov. n.-(speclal)-The corn
crop Of Nebraska for the year 1903 is not
nearly 50 bad as It might have been. The
acreage this year was SAT-, 2S2, against
6,SS9,O1s In 1908; the average yield per acre
was 2s.17 bushels in 1908 and G5.7 this year.
The yield this year was 16s, l7s, 1S7 bushels,
against 17S, 500, 7Ss last year.
The average yield per acre this year was
reduced not because Of a general reduction
over the state. but merely in tn southwest
section, confined to a small area. In the
North Platte country the yield per acre
was the largest in the history Of the state,

THE PASSING
OF: THE BLACKS

The scientists had n convention at
Baltimore the other day and among
other problems discussed was the
eventual disappearance of the negro
race in the United States. Prof. Frank
Boas, of the section of anthropology
and psychology, declared the pure
negro race in this country will event
ualIy disappear, and that foreign
immigration TO the United States
involves, mo danger of the develop
ment of 'mongrel" race here.
1t requires no scientific acumen to-
convince one of the passing of the
pure blooded A frican says the
Wheeling Register. Any zone with
ordinary intelligence and fairly
good powers of observation may read
lily note the gradual diminution of
the genuine merge. Miscegenation,
amaIgamation and loose morals are
active factors in modifying the color
of the race. Instead of the rich,
glossy black, formerly so common,
but now quite rare, we have with us
a race of mulattos of various shades
of color from deep snuff to the
creamy olive. With each succeeding.
generation these shades will grow up
lighter in proportion as the foreign
immigration increases from certin
sections of Eastern Europe and West
ern Asia, where race prejudice is not
as pronounced is in this country.
The lighter the color becomes the
