JUDGE A. D. LAND.

The returns of the primary election in
dictate that Judge A. D. Land has failed
in his nomination as candidate to suc-
coed himself as associate justice Of the
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
This is said with regret, as he and his
friends had anticipated his nomination
by conservative majority. The returns
as received from some of the parishes in
the district are surprising to some. of
Judge Lands friends For instance,
Judge Hall received more than three
hundred votes in Caddo parish, when it
had been estimated that he would have
about fifty. In Bossier Judge Lands
majority is only twelve, when it had
been appropriated at over one hundred.
However, if the majority is against
Judge Land the decree must be accepted
phi1osophically, but while in no sense
personal it is said without hesitation
that Judge Land is one of the brainiest
and the most untiring of his associates.
Again, this is another instance when
the Confederate Veteran is sidetracked
for one whose only boast during the
campaign was that he should be recog-
nized, not because he was better fitted
or more worthy, but because he is the
youngest man. 1t is sad to reflect that
able men. men incorruptible and cofl-
sentative yet fearless, whose life work
has been devoted to duty, should be dis
placed from their sphere of usefulness.
t disappointed, Judge Land may be
conlforted in the realization that he has
stopped to no little thing or fling during
his campaign which he conducted with
dignity. His name is free from reproach
and he has an honest fame.

JUDGE A. j. MuRFF.

l.
It is evident from the returns that
Judge A. J. Muf has failed in his can
didacy for Congress. 1t may be recalled
that in his initial announcement that
Judge Murff in declaring his opposition
TO Judge Watkins, stated that he would
retire from the canvass and give his best
efforts to any worthy Democrat who
would contest with Judge Watkins, but
no one appeared. and he remained in the
field to the end.
The contention of Judge Murff was
that Judge Watkins has been untrue to
the party and its platform for the reason
that he had voted with the Republicans
to levy a tax on lumber and that he had
| voted with the Republicans to make
hides free
The returns would indicate that while
these charges are sustained by the re-
cord, that the majority of the Democrats
voting in the district are willing and
ready to forgive and to forget these
lapses of their representative in Con-
gress, who, to his credite be it said, has
beene efficient and useful in many things.
The conditions in the Fifth District
was as in the Fourth, and while Rams
dell had strong opposition and was Sc
verely criticised for his lapses on the
tariff, he has been renominated by de-
cided majority.
After ALL the will of the majority,
when exercised fairly and inte1ligent1y
and within the bonds of law, is supreme.
In his contention against Judge Wat
kins and his 1apses on the tariff and the
party's platform, Judge Murff's stand
was consistent, but many of his friends
did not believe he could be nominated in
the face of the opposition which had
been concentrated against him, nor that
his criticism of Judge Watkins would
prevail.
And it should be borne in mind that a
great many of his admirers who did not
vote for him for congressman will stand
by his side loyalty for Judge, believing
that as a Judge he has been and he is
filling every requisite and essential re-
sponsive to law and justice tempered
with mercy.
As expressed by gentleman of prom
inence in this community: Il would
rather have Murff as judge than con-
gresham. Murff as judge can do us
more good than as congressman" And
this view, if not expressed in similar
words by others, is entertained by ali
lawabiding citizens.
From these expressions then, there
may be drawn some satisfaction no less
complimentary to Judge Murff, who. if
disappointed in his attainment of a seat
in Congress, may be impressed with
the realization that he has not been dis
credited and that he is held in the high
est esteem by the citizens who stand for
law and order above all things connected
with the affairs of men.

BREEDING COTTON WITH oKRA

BREEDING COTTON WITH OKRA.
New Orleans States: While California
has Luther Burbank, who, by the process
known as cross-breeding, has produced
wonderful fruits and flowers, Hinds
County Miss, has citizen, Mr.. Easton
c. Jones, who is developing the cotton
plant, and has already performed some
marvellous feats with corn. It appears
that Mr. Jones, whose farm is three
miles from Jackson, has been expert
menting with corn for fourteen years
and gets from six to fourteen ears to
the stalk and yield that runs from $50
to 200 bushels to the acre.
In recent years he has been cross
breeding okra with short staple cotton,
and it is claimed that he has succeeded
in producing long staple cotton of the
finest texture and endurance. We are
told that last year he planted forty acres
in the cross-bred cotton and gathered
crop of ninety-four bales. Mr.. Jones is
quoted as saying that some of this land
produced three bales to the acre, and he
feels that he has lost money If he does
not get at least two bales off the the
poorest kind of land.

Beale, who was arrested last summer

eral store at Houpt. has broken Jail
