NATTER OF THE CODES
Proposition to Postpone Action on Civil
Code until Nineteen Twelve.

New Orleans States: One of the first
matters to be taken up viii be the re-
port of the work of the Civil and Grim
inal Code Commissions. Under the law
amendments to the proposed codes must
be presented within the first fifteen days
of the session and be referrd to COM
mittees composed of two members of
each house and the Attorney General.
Speaker Dupre is to name Representa-
tives Richardson Of Claiborne and Hem
riques bf Orleans on the Civil Code
Commission, and Representative Gener-
ely and perhaps Representative Samp-
son of Vermilion on the Criminal Code
Commission.
Lawyers in the two houses from the
country say there is a strong demand
for the Criminal Code and believe an
effort should be made to adopt if It is
already evident, howeversthat 50 far as
the Civil Code IS concerned al attempt
will be made to have final consideration
postponed for two years.

GOVERNOR NOEL
Reported Well Pleased Over His So
called Elimination OF Vardaman.

A special from Jackson, Miss, to the
States says Governor Noel is a much
please oman, probably has more to feel
satisfied over than any other man in the
State, just at this time, with the possible
exception Of Senator Percy-and that's
saying whole lot.
The Governor is especially gratified
at the action Of the State Democratic
Executive Committee in resembling its
action to call i special primary in No
yember. He was opposed to the pro-
posed primary. and would have resorted
ito the courts for an injunction to stop
it, if it had been necessary.
The affair could not have worked
out better said the Governor in dis
cussing the meeting of the committee.
As il developed, it means beyond doubt
the election of Mr.. Percy or some other
man. In plain words, it means the erad-
ication Of Vardamanism
The result could not have been bet
ter IF the committee had ordered the
primary. would, as | advised the COM
mittee, have sought an Injunction to pre-
vent the primary, but since the commit
tee failed to order the primary and ey-
erything went our way, am satisfied. :
Many persons who called at the cap
itol Saturday expressed satisfaction with
the result They did not want the pri-
mary, but think the way tile meeting
turned out it was better for Mr.. Percy
Than if the primary had been called

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
United Action to Suppress 1t on the
River by Three States

1t has been announced from Jackson
Miss, that the united action of three
State, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louis
lana, is to be directed to the suppression
OF the liquor traffic on the river within
their respective limits. On the Missis-
sippi river are liquor boats which have
led Representative Toombs to ask:
will it be violation of the Missis-
sippi prohibition law for persons to sell
liquors in the river ?"
In the event of a man violating the
Arkansas law in the river, can he be
brought over to Mississippi, tried and
punished"
There are other questions of like
nature, all of which open a wide field
for speculation, but none of which Mr.
Fox has endeavored to answer.
Al the last session of Congress, Con-
gresham Humphreys got a bill passed
allowing the States of Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas to enact laws to
suppress crime on the river This law
was aimed directly at the saloon boats
olying the river between Arkansas and
Mississippi, but will also drive the sal
eons off the islands in the Mississippi
river, provided Louiiana, at a session
of the Legislature, should pass an act
giving Mississippi concurrent jurisdic-
ton over the river to the west bank.
Senator, now Supreme Court Justice
Anderson, introduced these bills in the
Mississippi Senate. One gives Arkan-
sas and the other Louisiana concurrent
jurisdiction over the river to the east
bank, and Mr. Toon1bs, whose county
Neutrality-suspicious. Arkansas, is the
first officer to place the questions before
he Attorney General
As there are liquor boats plying the
river between Mississippi and Arkansas,
Mr.. Toombs probably wants to know
what action to take, of whether he can
take action, to suppress this violation of
the Mississippi prohibition law. The
Attorney Generals department will take
the matter up this week and hand down
IN opinion in the matter
If Louisiana enacts law giving Mis-
sissippi concurrent jurisdiction over the
river to the west bank, it probably means
that the saloons on DeSoto island, which
were established off Vicksburg when
Statewide prohibition became effective,
will have to vacate.
This is primarily what the law was
encated for, and when the Attorney
General has laid down his opinion on
the points raised by Mr.. Toonbs, it is

CITY COUNCIL
Much Business of Importance to Be
Considered.

The City Council will meet tonight If
regular monthly session. There is much
to do. The bids for the city printing
contract should be called and awarded
There may be a saving to the city in the
bid, which is less than the price being
paid for the printing.
At the session tonight contractors for
street paving will bf i'll evidence. The
bids promise to be many, as indicated by
the demands for contracts and specifca-
tons for paving printed in book form by
the Caucasian Carney Company.
The third and final reading of the
ordinance applying to the bond issue for
the Fair grounds site should receive at
tention without further delay, which is
1t is likely that charge of incompe
tnecy will be filed against Lieutenant
Nolan, but his trial would not take place
tonight. Should a charge be filed against
him he must be tried in regular order by
the Council, when, if adjudged guilty,
his dismissal will follow.
The Traction Company may be in evil
denee, but possibly may BE sidetracked
by the street paving proposition.

LOUIS DOMINGO
Sentence of the Court Affirmed The
Accused Is in Jail.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
judgment of the District Court in the
case Of Louis Dominica, who was con-
victed of selling liquor without license.
Dominica peddled vegetables and from
his wagon he sold whiskey to several
persons on the Pugl plantation below
Shreveport. The case was appealed TO
the Supreme Court. 1t was eontended
by the attorney for Dominica that he
was not guilty and should not be con-
victed for the reason that he had vio-
lated no law by selling whiskey from
a wagon. This plea was the extreme of
the ridiculous Dominica is sentenced to
pay fine of $3oo and to serve three
months on the parish roads, and three
months additional for failure to pay the
fine. Dominica will be taken to the
good roads camp next Monday. He has
been under bond but he has been sur
rendered by his surety and is in jail

It continued, the country members are
perfectly willing to let it apply there.
Senator Odom of Morehouse voiced
an opinion held by many of the country
senators and representatives when he
said: The law has operated disadvan-
tageously with us. The reason Of course
is that we have neither local nor
State refornatory to which we can COM
nit juveniles. In consequence the ju-
venilc offender goes scot free and is
encouraged to commit crime, either OF
his own volition or at the instance of
some one older than himself
In the country the juvenile offender
is chiefly of the negro race. Governor
Sanders in his message announces the
completion of the reform school at Mon
roe and if the Legislature makes an ap
to operate it an asylum win
be found for some at least of the tender
aged criminals.

more than usual interest, for if the pri-
mary had been called it would have
meant two years of political strife, such
as the State has not seen for many years.
Several prominent men who were at
the capitol expressed the opinion that
the Governor could have prevented the
primary by resorting to the courts, but
are glad the occasion did not demand
such action on his part.
Governor Noel is especially friendly
to Senator Percy, and does not see that
he lost anything through the turn of
affairs. He really thinks Mr.. Percy is
the gamer, and that it could not have
turned more to his advantage.

LAST UNION SERVICE
Sermon by Rev. ]. r. Jacobs Music
by Masonic Quartette.

The last of the union services for the
summer was held in the Baptist church
Sunday night. The large auditorium
was filled to it's utmost capacity and
the service was one of exceptional IN
terest. Rev. r. A. Williams presided,
and Rev. J.R. Jacobs was the preacher.
In the absence of the regular organlst
Mr.. A. B. Bowering presided at the
organ. The Virginia Masonic quartette
sang several special numbers. This
organization has sung several times IN
Fredericksburg and always TO the great
delight Of the people. They have per-
haps never sung better than they did
Sunday night.
Special prayer was offered for Capt
Is. j. Quinn. a beloved officer OF the
church, now sick in Louisa.
Mr.. Jacobs took as his text Gen. 10
l2. "Abram dwelled in the land OF
Canaan and Lot dwelled in the cities OF
the plain and pitched his tent toward
Sodom.
In commenting on Lots choice he said
the sin of Lot was selfishness. His mo-
tive on seeking Sodom was not any
good he might do, but only what he
might get IN social and business ad.
vancement. His motive was wrong and
the result to him was loss of wife,
shame of his daughters. loss Of proper
ty and bare escape with his life.
Lots real trouble was that his desires
were wrong and the lesson Of the story
is that we would better let questionable
things alone. Life is too serious a
thing to experiment with. It is very
dangerous thing to pitch ones tent to-
ward Sodom.
Lot was saved by the Intervention OF
Abram. The only hope Of salvation IS
through the church.
Will the city Of Fredericksburg pitch
its tent toward Sodom on Sept 9th!
An earnest plea was made that the peo-
pie would see the danger Of bringing
back the saloon with all Of its allure
ments, and rise in all their power TO
save our homes and our youth from It's
bliehting influence. The sermon was
one of power and was listened to with
closest attention.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

In the absence of the pastor Rev. j..
r. Rosebro preached at the Presby-
terian church at the morning service.
His text was Matt. 1918. The gates
of hell shall not prevail against il. The
text contains two ideas. lst, the es-
tablishment of a church with well laid
foundations; 2nd, conquering church:
Commenting specially on the second
idea Mr.. Rosebro said: The growth Of
the church has been wonderful. From
mere handful 1900 years ago, the
membership is now in the millions,
offerings and humanitarian institutions
have multiplied. The church has con-
ouered and will conquer by instillIng
the highest ideals of livingin the home,
in business and in society.
God pledges in his son that the church
shall triumph. God expects his people
to labor in his church, to keep it pure
and make it exert the influence that 1t
should.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when lit is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surface.
We viii give one hundred dollars for
any case Of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
