MYSTIC CLUB
HAS D|SBANDED
The Popular Mystic Club of
Abita Springs Has Dis
banded and Turned Oyer
Funds to Public School.

At the regular monthly meeting
of the Mystic Club Of Abita Springs,
held Monday, November IA, the or
ganization was disbanded. The rea-
sons for disbanding were not such
as to call for public comment. It
may be stated, however, that the club
was in good financial condition, and
after paying all debts balance of
$4,000 in the treasury was turned
over to the public school of Abita,
on the Motion of Mr.. Charles Biggio,
seconded by Judge A. o. Pons, which
motion was carried by acclamation.
Capt C. E. Millar, who is presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees of the
school, as we'll as member of the
Mystic club, thanked the club in be-
half of the school in a few heartfelt
expressions, and assured the men,
bers of the schools appreciation for
the donation.
1t is understood that reorganiza-
tion of the Mystic club members will
take place, perhaps under new
name. The club has always been
popular and successful in its under
takings and has always donated half
of their proceeds to the pavilion
fund.

WILL HANG.

Baton Rouge, La, Nov. 14.-The
Board Of Control has been notified
that it will not have one execution
to make. Alexander Lee, of Plaque
mines Parish, who was to be execut-
ed by the Board of Control in Baton
Rouge on December 2 for murder,
died in the Plaquemine Parish Jail.
In spite of this, however, the Board
of Control has four executions to
make within the next three weeks.
Hugh Conerly, of Washington Par
ish, is to be executed under the law
in the State Penitentiary on Nov. 25.
Conerly will not be brought to Baton
Rouge before Nov. %, as the Board
of Control has decided not to have
condemned prisoners transferred to
the prison here until few days be-
fore the date set for the hanging.
This is to relieve the penitentiary
officials of responsibility for the
death watch.
On December 2 Louis K. Williams
is to be executed. Williams is from
Franklin Parish, where he was con-
victed of murder.
On December 9 the Board of Con-
troll will have double hanging
Louis Williams and Sam Jackson
both of Madison Parish.
The Board of Control is going to
strictly carry out, in the executions
! the spirit of the new law, which was
to make the executions as private
as possible, and to avoid the publicity
and morbid curiosity attendant up
on public executions in the parishes
(; The number Of witnesses will be
limited to exactly what the law pro
vides, not less than five and not ovel
seven.

tions the committee reported on the
secular press and various news as
sociations, asserting that these in
stitutions are not fair in their re-
ports of Catholic news.
The committee recommends the es-
tablishment of lodges and clubs for
women in discussing the socialistic
are condemned Public discourses
on the social problems of the day
are recommended. The usual stand
of the Federation on the divorce evil
is reaffirmed.
The committee recommended the
| work of the Federation toward i'm
| migration, and encouraged the Or
ganized efforts of Catholic organiza-
| tion and colonization bodies in pro-
tect'ng immigrants against unscrup-
ulous land agents. The committee
| favors bringing immigrants into the
country rather than to the tenements
of the larger city. ..
The committee came out very
strongly against bible reading in the
public schools, and protests against
the holding of graduation exercises
in sectarian places. 1t was pointed
out that it is the custom of some
schools to hold it's commencement
exercises in religious places. The
committee does not ask that sucf

nation.
The committee desires clean jour

Catholic books in public libraries
The Federation commends the worl
that is going on for the teachin.
of the Catholic detectives, those un
fortunates, who are dearf and blind

NEVER HAD ANY IDEA
OF MAKING THE RUN
Colonel Roosevelt So Wrote to Lord
Northcliffe.
Told Englishmen He Would Not BE
Candidate for President.
Letter to Editor of the London Times
is Given Tardy Publicity.

New York, Nov 15.-An import
ant piece of news, hitherto unpub-
lished, in connection with the recent
election in this State, became known
here today.
When ex-Presidcnt Roosevelt
reached London On his return from
South Africa he was entertained at
the country house of Lord North
cliffe, proprietor of the London
Times, among other publications. In
the beginning of the New York cam
paign Lord Northcliffe wrote Col.
Roosevelt a friendly personal letter,
n which the former expressed the
hope that the election returns would
ue an Endorsement Of the position
taken by Col. Roosevelt. A few days
before the election Lord Northcliffe
received a reply to that letter, in
which Roosevelt wrote that he had
no intention of being candidate
for the Presidency of the United
States in 1912 or ever again, and
that this fact was well known to
President Taft. Mr.. Roosevelt add
ed that the President had no more
stanch or loyal friend than he, Roose.
welt.
Lord Northcliffe did not realize
the effect that the publication Of the
contents of this letter might have
had upon the election. Even if he
had, he probably would not have
made the contents public. But aftel
] the election, the editor saw that 6
| great issue had been made of the
supposed aspirations of the ex-Presi
dent and had a passing regret tha
the voters had not in their posses
sion the plain statement of Col
Roosevelt, made in purely persona
autograph letter to Lord and Lad!
Northcliffe, who had been his host!
in the early summer.
| The Northcliffes were more thai
charmed with the personality of Mr.
Roosevelt, and when the returns indi
Gated that voters had been influence'
by the supposed attitude of the Col
toward the presidential nomination
of 1912, they gave to friends in thi
city, in a letter, the emphatic state
ment made by the ex-President in
private letter in the heat of the cam
paign. These facts are vouched fo
by the closest friend of Lord North
cliffe in the United States.

Citizens ASKED to Meet at

To Take Up the Subject OF
Ways and Means
For Keeping Cemetery in

Probably Association Will be

A Letter on the Subject from
Mrs. M. E. Burns.
A Letter on the Subject from
Mrs. M. E. Burns.

The following letter is from one
of the earnest workers among our
Coyington women. The subject
which it discusses should be consid-
cred and the suggestion should ap-
peal to every one. Many have loved
ones in the cemetery and the wisdom
of God may at any time call upon
us to take our habitation in the city
of the dead or to make new grave
for some citizen or friend:
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
Several years ago an attempt was
made by some of the ladies OF our
town to organize themselves into a
cemetery association. Nothing came
of it, but now again upon look
ing around the cemetery where much
real nice work had been done for All
Saints Day we feel that it is a good
time to suggest going to work in
earnest. Many dear one would be
proud if they could see how we'll
kept is the spot sacred to his or he,
memory, but what we must do is to
keep the whole place neat and clean
the year round. A great many beau
tiful monuments and prettily inclosed
plots are there, but perhaps right
next to a we'll kept place is an old
fallen in tomb, large tree growing
out of it; or the bones OF some long
mourned friend be exposed, the rela-
tives gone and no one to see to or
care for the grave. Large trees grow
in the old part of our cemetery and
! tombs are crumbling away, some
perhaps fifty or more years old. The
roots of trees undermine the brick
work.
Now the question is, must we al
low the place to stand as 1t Is, only
clean once a year-or shall we get
together, and like other towns around
us, make and keep the place pretty
all the year? If each one who has
| a dearly loved one buried there will
help, and the Town Council will have
the trees and old tombs removed,
or appoint committee to attend to
it right now, We can, and will, make
it neat and attractive looking place.
All those interested will please
meet at the courthouse Wednesday
evening, November 90, 1910, at 4
o'clock. MRS. M. e. BURNS.
