JUDGE THORNTON.

Judge Thornton has been appointed,
but never commissioned so far as we
know. Yet Sanders has removed even
this limited title to senatorial honors by
calling an extra session of the Legisla-
ture, which vacates even that. The pro-
fesses, however, to hope, in which we
join him, that the Legislature-upon
whose tender mercies he has thrown
|hinl-wilI elect him. But the Legisla-
ture, after the well merited castigation
it has received, may not be SO subserv-
lent now to the Establishments of ar
autocratic and dictatoria1 Governor, as
it has been in the past.-Louisiana Dem
ocrat.
Never fear, the majority of the Leg
islature is ready to jump and dance a
the beck and cali of J. Y. Sanders. I
not Sanders, then Thornton will be the
man, and 40 others need apply.

LOUISIANA EXHIBIT
At the Chicago Land Show Attracting
Attention

The Times Democrat says: The ex-
hibit of Louisiana products at the Chi
cago Land Show, opened last Saturday,
appears to be one of the notable features
of that very useful exposition, if one
may credit the press accounts, Possibly
the interest manifest in this and other
exhibits from the Southern States is in
great part due to the fact that the Mid
die Westerners are turning their atten-
ton southwark, but the enterprise of the
Louisianians who financed the display,
and their success in assembling such an
exhibit as wins and holds the attention
of the Coliseum visitors over rival dis
plays from other sections are not less
conlnendable because they find their att
dience half won already and their cam
paign more effective for that very rea-
son. The Investment in the Louisiana
display will earn ample dividends, we
have no doubt, for Louisiana and her
neighbor States as we'll as for those en-
terprising business men whose money
went to its organization.

realized that it takes more than one to
take in the town. The disturbance by
these two men involved the sheriff's Of

THE STATE FAIR
Meeting of Board of Directors-Reports
of President and the Secretary.

The meeting of the board of directors
of the State Fair held Monday after
noon at the headquarters of the associa-
ton was to hear the reports of the pres
ident and the secretary.
In his report President Bolinger con-
graduated the directors on the success
of the Fair in a general sense, and espe-
cially in finance. He suggested improve
ments necessary III an up-to-date grand
stand and in needed buildings.
The secretary, Mr.. Brueggerhoff, re-
ported that the total paid admissions for
1910 were 3o,33I. The total receipts
from all sources were $25,o41.6o, and the
net earnings were $5,44o.o4, which is
represented by $4,000 in cash and
$I,7oo.44 in permanent Improvements
made this year.
This condition is encouraging and will
lead to greater efforts towards the Fair
in 1911.
A PLEASING INCIDENT.
Before the directors had adjourned,
President Bolinger in we'll chosen words
presented to George Freeman Jr. gold
watch, Elgin make, one of the best, in
which he said that the executive COM
mittee desired to manifest their appre-
citation of the work done for the Fair
Association by Mr.. Freeman, who while
modest and unassuning had never tired
in working for the Fair. He was one
of the most valuable of the board of
directors and it was pleasure to tender
him this token of their esteem. On the
liner case of the watch are engraved the
words: George Freeman Jr, from the
State Fair of Louisiana, 1910"
1t would seem needless to say that
Mr. Freeman was surprised The words
of the president did not indicate that
he was to be the recipient, until the
watch was handed to him..
AS became Mr.. Freeman, in the few
words he expressed he voiced his full
est appreciation of this well deserved
recognition Mr.. Freeman is most
worthy young gentleman, who is con-
nected with the Victoria Lumber Com
pany, and it gives pleasure to the Cau-
casian to give publicity to this testi-
monia1 of his esteem by the directors of

SENATOR GIBSON
Was in Favor of a Big Appropriation
for a Navy, Said Dewey.

Washington, Nov. 21.-In the course
of an interview advocating two big ma
val fleets, of from 40 to so battleships,
in the Atlantic and the Pacific when the
canal is completed, Admiral Dewey said
today that he believed the Democrats
now being sent to Congress would stand
by such proposition and not oppose a
big navy, as was done by Democrats in
former days.
"Why, | remember clear back in the
eighties talking to Senator Randall Lee
Gibson of Louisiana, who declared him
self in favor of an appropriation of fifty
million dollars for the navy. That would
correspond to about five hundred mil
lion these days Senator, | said, I am
surprised to hear you advocate this since
you are a Democrat, and the Democrats
are said to be against building up a
navy Nothing is farther from the
truth, the Senator said The real Dem
oeratic party is not a party of retrogres-
sion
Now continued Admiral Dewey,
these are the kind of Democrats we
will have in the Sixty-second Congress.

gression in the navy"

Ihe south promises to be the home of
the futures great production. Texas,
Louisiana and Arkansas are leading the
way. The boil weevi curtailed the cot

stead. The production is being rapidly
increased. Cotton seed oil mills are be-
ing converted into peanut oil mills, and
the product promises to be even more
profitable than those of cotton seed.
Mills for the express handling of the pea

The first peanut oil ever made in the

What is peanut oil?
For years 1t has been a very valuable
commercial commodity. It has been i'm
ported from France. where the African
peanut is grown. 1t is said TO be superior
to cotton seed oil and second only TO olive
oil. Indeed, it has been substituted for
owe oil Without detection. 1t is said TO
be very healthful and valuable as a cook
ing fat and will to large extend sup
plant hog fats for this and similar pur-
poses.
From 20 to 80 bushels of peanuts can be
produced on the average southern acre
They sell at from 80 cents to Sl50 per
bushel. When mills are built for their
cleaning and handling in the various
forms, which always follows extensive
production of the peanut, this should be
one of the most profitable crops of the
south.
The peanut is a hardy plant, not easily
damaged by pest or storm and is easily
cultivated. The vipe is considered as one
of the best of feed products for hogs and
cattle The pea itself is one of the very
best feeds for hogs.
Did you ever eat Smithiield ham or ba-
con? Their flavor is from the peanuts
that are fed the hogs.
Peanuts improve the soil, are easily
grown. produce fine feed and the peanut
Is always salable.
The farmers OF Alabama should not
neglect this important product that is sure
to take the place Of cotton to some ex-
tent when the boil weevil reaches the
