Death of a Pioneer Journalist.

Augustus Duncan Battle died
at his residence in New Orleans
Saturday morning, aged eighty
two years. He was born in Han
cock County, Georgia, and at the
age of fourteen years he entered
the school at Danville, KY. He
remained there four years, when
he went to Shreveport and began
his newspaper career with his
brother, H. j. G. Battle, in the
publication of the Caddo Gazette,
which paper was sold during the
year 1857 to DR.. Samuel Bard,
who, at the same time purchased
the Caddo News from James r.
and Leon D. Marks. Bard dis
continued the publication of the
News and sold the material to
Richard d. Sale. Bard published
the Gazette a few months and then
sold to DR.. Drury Lacy, who, on
November %, 1871, sold the Ga
zette to Messrs. H. j. G.. Battle,
Albert II. Leonard and Charles w.
Lewis, who issued the first num-
Der of the Shreveport Times, the
successor of the Caddo Gazette,
during December, 1871. A. D.
Battle and H. ]. Hearsey were
the editors of the Times, and they
soon made it the leading newspa-
per Of the State, outside of New
Orleans, which position it still
holds.
For many years Col. Battle
held high rank among the most
prominent and influential news
paper writer's of the State. Equip
ped by a liberal education and
blessed by nature with q judicial
temper that no complexities could
disturb or irritate; penetrating
provision, judgment that was
almost infallible, courge that
nothing could move and q SYM
pathy that was quick, broad and
tender, he discussed with unusual
force questions of politics and
economics.
He was q man of omniverous
reading and wide information, and

Annual State Reunion Of Louisiana

ure and distinction of entertaining
the Confederate veterans of Lou
isiana during Wednesday, Thnrs-
day and Friday Of this week, the
State Division meeting there and
receiving the generous, warm
hearted welcome which the people
of this State always accord to the
men who wore the gray. Forty
five years have passed since the
war ended at Appamattox as dear
now to the hearts of the Southern
people as in the days when they
followed their leaders to victory,
or in the tragic climax of catas-
trophe. And this feeling can be
readily understood when it is con-
sidered that the South gave not
only the best of its manhood, but
practically every male capable OF
bearing arms, to the cause OF the
Confederacy. There is scarcely
a family in all the Confederate
States which did not make sacri-
fees for the cause-scarcely q
home upon which the hand of des-
olation and bereavement was not
laid in the four years conflict.
The cradle and the grave were
robbed, as has been aptly and
truly said, to provide recruits for
the ever thinning ranks of the
Southern armies. Boys and old
men rallied around the standard
after the flower of Southern man
hood had persisted in the unequal
contest.
In prosperity as in adversely
the South cherishes the memory
of the men who died for it and
delights to honor the heroes who
survived the storm and stress OF
the old heroic days. The organ
izations composed of Sons and
Daughters of the men who wore
the gray will preserve the record
of the valorous deeds of theiI
forebears. 1t is sacred trust,
heritage of honor. This feeling
pervades the whole South. 1t il
sentiment founded upon affec'
ton, reverence and gratitude. /
will be handed down from genera
ton to generation and it will grow
in depth and intensity. 1t is thu
sentiment akin to that which Davit
of old voiced in the language o
undying devotion: eff | forge

Does Quaker Gore Permanently?
Ask Your Neghbors Who Are Cured

1t has often been asked of the
Quaker Health Teacher, who has been
at Hannah Bros. drug store, why the
Quaker Herb Remedies effect so many
cures, when the rest of the treatments
used previously by the sufferer failed
to show more than a slight temporary
result, and in many cases done no
good at all. The answer to all ques-
lions along that line is: Because the
Quaker Remedies are compounded
from a scientifically perfect formula,
which results in medicine containing
absolutely no mineral or chemical sub
stances-no opiatic poisons whatever.
Consequently when you are using
these remedies, you are positively AS
sured that you are not harming the

RESULT IN EScAMBIA COUNTY is
UNCERTAIN IN VIEW OF THE
OFFENSIVE ANONYMOUS LITER

The campaign for United States SEN

and former Governor Napoleon B.
Broward making one of the hottest
races that Florida has witnessed in
many a day, practically closed with
last night so far as the state at large
is concerned.
There will, however, be a gigantic
meeting tomorrow night in Jackson
vile, the home city Of the two candi-
dates. and both will speak from the
same platform.
Speculation as to the result varies
according to the partisan leaning of
the respective voters, but there seems
to be a general consensus of opinion
that the race will be very close.
The advantages and disadvantages
of the two candidates may be briefly
summed up as follows:
On the basis of the vote cast in the
first Primary. BToward would no doubt
be nominated. But no one expects to
see as large vote as was cast in the
first primary, and the stay-at-home
vote will be in the Broward strong
holds in the country. Broward will
therefore be the loser by this stay-at.

force. This vote comes from the
towns and cities where it can be easily
organized and be got out 10 the polls
on election day. The Taliaferro forces
have been busy organizing this vote
and it viii, beyond a doubt, all be
cast.
The 'Escambia Situation.
Just what effect the literature that
has been circulated will have is prob.
lematical. In Escambia county the
character of the anti-Broward litera-
ture has undoubtedly influenced somt,
and possibly many, citizens 10 vote for
Broward who would otherwise not
have done so. But EscamDia is a
peculiar county.

ally believed that Davis would carry
Escambia county. But the circulation
