Disregard Public Sentiment.
Alexandria Town Talk

1t has been said that it will be impossible
to convict and execute white man in this
section OF the State guilty of the crime Of
murder, however clear and we'll proven the
evidence might be. If this be the case,
there is no law SO far as capital punish
ment is concerned in this part of the State.
The death penalty is nothing but legal
farce to be laughed at by would-be MUIR
derers and held in contempt by bloody
criminals. What has made the legal pun
ishment Of white murderers in this section
of the State impossible? Nothing but dis
eased public sentiment from which the
men who compose our juries derive their
notions and imbibe their ideas of Justice so
contrary to the proper view of the law of
the land which expresses it as to frequently
render them totally unfit to sit in the jury
box in cases of high criminal degree. The
sanctity of the law and the value of human
life according to the standards of personal
Judgment warped frequently by personal
interests, violated not infrequently within
the circle of their own acquaintance set
at naught and despised at the behest of
individual passion and hatred.

Work of the w. H. M. s.

The regular business meeting occurred
on the 18th. In absence Of the president,
Rev. j. G. Stone was requested to take the
chair and conduct the services.
After business transactions were disposed
OF there was discussion about the needs of
our orphanage at Ruston. The ladies de-
cided to prepare box Of supplies at once
and are now making quilts, sheets and
pillow cases, which will be forwarded as
they are completed.
The offerings made during the week of
prayer for missions will be expended for
the orphanage.
We feel that our work as an auxiliary is
small compared to the cities, but we must
remember that our little auxiliary is a
factor in the mighty work which helps to
make OF the parent society success.
The statistics of our last annual con-
ference show an increase in the various
lines Of work. The grand total Of money
raised for 1909, was $50, 225.7 Is. These
true facts should encourage us and renew
our energy, that it may be said of each
member, 'She hath done what she could"

providence is found among all sorts and
conditions of men. 1t has been the beset-

The statement that debt should never be

must be taken with reservation. The
mortgage is a beneficent thing if it pro-
vides home and is paid at maturity. If

assured young man having health and

his future strength and industry to secure

Pamela (Miss.) Star: No good citizen

Christian and every person whose sympa-
thies are Christian should to-day determine
to justify this high allegiance by vorA,s,
the power of the ''faith once delivered
unto the saints" would be the dominant
power in every avenue of life.
Philadelphia North American: The final
test OF Christianity is the Hying of it. 1t
is shocking condition, daily evidenced by
the course OF affairs in cities, towns and
country districts, that only few of those
who on Sunday mornings sing out ''stand

Premiums for Races at the Fair.

would like to call especial attention to
the increase in the premiums offered for
the races this year. The purses are not
large but are worth entering for, especially
as there is no charge for entrance fee. The
first monies are $40, S15 and 500, when $40
has been the largest purse heretofore.
We are Offering two saddles this year
one in the relay race and one in the Indian
race. One Of the saddles is full rugged
Texas saddle that any one would like to
own. The other is half Texas rig saddle,
with cushion seat, that is splendid sad
die for comfort and all around service.
They can be seen at the Agricultural Hall,
and will be delivered as soon as the races
are over.
The harness, collars and brides in the
pulling contest can also be seen in the
Agricultural Hall, and are worth contend
ing for. would like to see some interest
shown in this contest this year and am sure
there will be when the people see the nice
premiums that are offered. Nothing but
farm animals will be allowed to contest
this year, so we will all have chance with
our small mules and horses. The test will
be to 100 foot rope to sack of sand on
the ground, and will be very interesting.

would like to hear from every one who
intends to enter in the races or pulling

that proper arrangements can be made to
accommodate all and stands have no delay

of debt.

New Orleans Item: One way to help a
fellow being is to refrain from giving him
advice.
Part of the hunters license, "say half,
should go to the parish, and not the entire
amount to the State,'' says the East Carroll
Banner Democrat.
Claiborne Guardian journal: Hospital
Street in New Orleans has been changed
to Nichols Street. This is a merited COM
pliment to the grand old patriot, jurist and
civilian, Justice Frances 7. Nichols.
Mansfield Enterprise: The season for
shooting quail opens November 1st, and
the hunters anticipate fine season. How
ever, most of the lands in this vicinity
have been posted, and each to the other
has pledged his honor to prosecute all
trespassers, and the hunters will have but
little scope in which to operate.
New Orleans Item: The Game Commits
sion, in whose interest attorney Ponder is
working so hard, might be eliminated
altogether by passing law providing for
a State Warden. 1t takes too much to pay
the expense of the useless Commission,
and the attorney for that body is more
ornamental than useful, if ornamental.
New Orleans Picayune: A fair general
education is good thing to every citizen,
no matter where may be his place in the
social scale, and no man who has the OPP
portunity to go through the courses of even
our humblest colleges should reject or miss
it. No matter how lowly his place in life,
he will be fitted to take higher if it be
placed in his reach by fortune or destiny.
New Orleans Picayune: 1t would be
grievous situation for the Northern office
holders and patronage mongers if twenty
millions of white Southerners were sud-
denly to enter the Republican party and
had to have their share of party places
and spoils. Of all things, the Republican
party of the North does not want the South
in its political ranks. In fact, nobody in
the Republican party Of the North, except
President Taft, wants the South in that
party.

Gems Of Thought.

French: He breaches we'll who lives
well.
Ovid: Meet the disorder in the outset,
the medicine may be too late, when the
disease has gained ground through delay.
Lamartne: The inventors of industrial
machinery, like the discoveries of relig-
ious, moral or political truth, are the great
revolutionists Of matter.
John G. Holland: Trust is the basis of
human life, and is the corner stone of the
temple of human happiness. A man who
is poor in trust is the poorest of all Gods
creatures.
Holmes: When we plant tree, we are
doing what we can to make our planet a
more wholesome and happier dwelling
place for those who come after US if not
for ourselves.
Charming: A true friend embraces our
objects as his own. We feel another mind
bent on the same end, enjoying it, ensur-
ing it, rejecting it, and delighting in our
devotion to it.
J. G. Holland: An idle man stands
outside of Gods plan, outside Of the or
dained scheme of things; and the truest
self-respect, the noblest independence, and
the most geniue dignity, are not to be
found there.
Whelpley: A morning without clouds is
hardly to be expected in world, abound
ing as this hitherto has, more with vice
than with virtue, and more with darkness
than with light.
Claiming: Other blessings may be
taken away, but if we have acquired
good friend by goodness, we have bless
ing which improves in value when others
fail. 1t is even heightened by sufferings.
