Heavy Rains Falling.

About five o'clock this morning
it commenced to rain and then
poured in torrents and is contin-
ueing to rain as we go to press.
All the streets resemble creeks,
the sewer pipes not being of suf-
fcient capacity to carry the wa.
ter, so it is flowing over the
walks. This is the heaviest down
pour since our arrival in the Pan
handle. With the heavy rains
that have fallen this week and
the rain that is falling today will
soon turn the opinion of the
many pessimists as to rain in
the Panhandle country. We are
convinced that it can, it does and
it will RAIN in this country.

J. j. Bauer, a substantial and
prosperous farmer residing near
Happy, made the News office a
call on Tuesday afternoon. He
stated that the crop conditions
in his neighborhood were good
The weather was fine for curing
hay crops and wheat harvest
now being on hands, it was ideal
for harvesting. AS a number
expect to thrash out of the fields,
the warm drying atmosphere
was all that could be desired, al.
though there has been several
light showers but none of the
telling kind. While rain-storm
delayed on Tuesday, he did not
utter a word of complaint but
thought it did a world of good to
the growing row crops and late
pastures, as about an inch and a
quarter of rain fell in three
hours.

Make War on the Thistle.

r. E. Pickens was in the News
Office this week, and in converse
ton with the reporter, he stated
that unless the farmers used
vigorous methods to destroy the
th!stles that are to be seen of
late on the highways and in
some pastures. 1t will not be
long before the fields will be
seeded with them, and he says
that the past month has been
ideal time to kill the plants be-
fore they seed. So commence

A Moral Suasion Used.

| AN exchange states tlldu: OOV-
ernor Gillett of California is fur
nishing an object lesson to show
how public sentiment can coerce
an unwilling public official into
progressive attitude.
Governor Gillett did not want
to interfere with the prize fight.
The Presbyterian preache rs
who were in session some time
ago at Atlantic City, forced the
issue until the people of Califor-
MIA began to see that the whole
country was looking at them,
and that the fight was hurting
the state. San Francisco is fig
uring on and wants the Parma
ma Exposition in 1913, began TO
see that the prize fight, a demOr-
alizing, brutal bunco game of the
big sports to fleece the little
sports, was becoming more and
more offensive to the public and
could not be defended
The Governor, inherent at th e
first, but man enough to listen
to the call of public sentiment,
came to see that the prize fight
would in the end be a disgrace,
and that he, as chief executive of
California, would be held reSpon-
sible, and that he would go out
of office and into history with a
stigma from which his name
would never recover.
Public sentiment is a mighty
power. 1t has on numerous oc-
casions, forced unwilling men to
enact progressive laws and then
forces other unwilling men to
put these laws into effect.
The prize fight is now an issue
in California. 1t will be an issue
in the election of the next legis-
lature. There will be a demand
for a prohibitory law They will
be electing an attorney general
and judges of the courts who
will be giving out to the voters
before the election that they are
in sympathy with the attitude
taken by Governor Gillett. Publ
lie sentiment can coerce a gov
ernor, and governor, once en-
listed in progressive move, can
bring the law machinery of a
state and of the cities up to his
nlRner standard.
Every where in some state,
there is planted a milestone in
moral progress that will never be
removed. And this is one of
the milestones that was planted
by the ministers of the Presby-
terian general assem- bly, at Allan
tic City some weeks agoand which
the bunco prize fighters said at
that time would not stand. The
idea of a small handful of bunco
prize fighters to set themselves
up as larger than a state like
California, Is preposterous. The
milestone of moral suasion is
placed to stand all the force that
can be brought against it by the
bunco prize fighters.

ST. MARTINVILLE, La MAY Z, 1910.

The politicians of the present
town administration are evidently
realizing the fact that they are
weak and losing their followers
and felt it necessary to try about
the only means to rally the scat
tered followers, beer, and some OF
it was dispensed at tho headquar-
ters this week. We believe there
are very fcw voters in this town
who can be rallied and influenced
by a little beer. This would do
we'll enough in the past. but at
present we believe a statement Of
the financial condition of the town
affairs would be more convincing.

Bro. M0bley and r1icr0bes.

Bro. Mobley. of the Alexandria
Democrat, is pessimistic on the
microbs question. Listen to him:
Microbes in everything you cat
and drink, and if you eat and drink
microbes you will surely die, aud
if you don't eat and drink you will
still more surely die. Bound to
surely die in any event, you had
bstter pay no more attention to
microbes than your granddaddies
did. They ate and drank every
thing they wanted and they lived
long and prospered. What did
Methuseslah know about microbes
in his time? Eat and drink every
thing you want, microbes and all,
and you will live until you die and
that is what old Methuselah did
he lived until he died, somewhere
about 500 years.

The intention of the police jury OF
cutting out all tho short and un.
necessary bends and making the
roads as short and straight as pos.
sible and substituting tilinR for
the costly and usually bad wooden
bridges is a move in the right d.
rection and a system that will
prove beneficial to the public and
economic to the jury.

Beneath cloudless sky and in the
lpresence of an enthusiastic and highly
appreciative audience of lovers OF the
Sport of Kings" the first of the Sc.
lries of matinee races was run at South
Side Park on Saturday afternoon
! There were four races filed and a fine
lot of entries there were in the lot
too. The time was exceptionally good,
taking into consideration all OF the
circumstances, the fact that the horses
were green, some of the drivers with
out any track experience whatever,
and the difficulty in getting started
With the exception OF one race the
time made was highly satisfactory.
Three of the four races were won
in straight heats, but the last race, a
mixed event, required 4 heats. There
were entries and each took a Eeat,
Then the winner of the third heat
took the next winning the race.
While the crowd was not large 1t |
was enthusiastic and appreciatiVe. A
band from Nashville furnished delight
full music. Weather conditions were |
ideal and those who did attend were
fortunate. The enterprise which Sec
rotary McGaw, of the Maury County 4
Fair Association, is showing in giving Il
these races is deserving. of hearty sup n
port. They will be semi-monthly
