ANTELOPE

Feb. dame Nature is throwing off
her fur robes in the mountains. Some
of our neighbors are enjoying a spring
like atmosphere, while others are still
in company with hoary headed winter,
and impatient for his exit.
The children in the mountains think
the snow all right, and that snow shoe
ing is a great treat, but we goWn-ups
have nealy used up all growing materi-
al
w. Nichols and his sons, Dan and
Budd have finished their wood contract
at the old Emslie place.
Neighbors in the mountains fully ap-
preciate the telephone during the long
inclement weather, and those who have
graphophones gave rare treats of even
ings.
Willis Hoss just returned from Jack
son with horse and snowshoes, that is
the horse carried both the snowshoes
and Hoss.
Mrs W. R. Webster, who had been
storm bound about six weeks, spent a
day at Hit or Miss station last week,
Thinking the snow might bear her up
she stepped aside from the trail, and
went through foot and half, but that
is only at some points. We all feel
spring in the air. Sunny South.

A LESSON IN THE INCIDENT
Monroe News-Star Comments on SEQ
fields Conviction.

Monroe News Star One day last
week, in Shreveport, member of the
City Council and also leading drug
gist of that city, was convicted on the
charge of selling liquors in violation of
the law. On Saturday Judge Bell i'm
posed fine of three months in jail and
5000, or an additional term in Jail of
three months. A clerk in the same drug
store was sentenced to pay fine of 5000.
We merely mention this incident to
show that there is a growing sentiment
sweeping over the country in favor OF
the enforcement of the law, no matter
who is caught in its meshes. Officials
who violate the law are not entitled to
any sympathy or consideration. They
are part and parcel of the official family,
and it is incumbent upon them to at
least set an example for ordinary citi-
zens to follow. Those officials who feel
that they can not obey the law, no mat
ter in what position, would serve the
public better by retiring and giving 9th
ers chance to see what they can do.
Occasionally there may be technical
violation of the law by officials, which
really does no very great harm We
are not referring to this class. These re-
marks are directed against those who
deliberately violate the law while hold
ing commission to enforce the law
and aid in the administration of gov
ernment. These are the ones that the
people look to for an example, and
when they are known to be violators OF
the law, confidence is destroyed Once
this public sentiment is crystallized
against crime there will be a material
decrease in the population of the peni-
tentiary and consequent lessening oi
criminal acts Public sentiment is Z
powerful factor and there seems to be
an indication that it is becoming an ac-
tive, potent all over the United States

DOSH MITCHELL
His Plea for Clemency Is Being Con
Sidered by the Pardon Board.

Dosh Mitchell is the negro who is
sentenced to be hanged on Friday, Feb
ruary IS, for the murder of Reuben
Douglas, near Bayou La Chute, last
summer. His crime was deliberate.
Since his conviction and sentence to be
hanged his attorney, ]. M, Wise, ap-
pointed by the court to defend him, has
been active in his effort to secure a
Communication of the sentence from death
to imprisonment for life.
The application for Communication is
now pending before the Board of Par
dons.
The petition for Communication is
signed by several hundred citizens.
There is opposition to the commuta
ton on the plea that Mitchell lis not en-
titled to nor deserving of sympathy His
plea for mercy is being considered by
the Board of Pardons.

material for steps on Laurel street.
A splendid wading pool was made at
cost of $I4I. The opening of the

THE COTTON GAMBLER
Is Being Displaced by the Southern
Mill Men and the Farmers.

Atlanta Constitution: Southern mil
men have joined hands with the organ
lied farmers of the South, and together
they are sounding the lnell of the cot
ton gambler.
That is the significance of the spec
tacle at the recent hearing before the
committee on agriculture of the Ma
tional House of Representatives
While Lewis w. Parker, one of the
most prominent mill men in the South
ern States, was pleading for the elimi-
nation of the gambling features of the
New York Cotton Exchange, even de-
c1aring that the mill men could do busi-
ness if the exchange were abolished
T. J. Brooks, representative of the
Farmers Union, was dealing sledge-
hammer blows at this gigantic gambling
institution, telling members Of the COM
mittee of the havoc it wrought with the
welfare of the producer and of the farce
it made of equity in many of its meth
DDS and transactions.
= Heretofore, defenders of the iniquit-
Gus practices of the New York Cotton
Exchange have claimed that to tamper
with its operation was TO threaten the
well-being of the farmer and the spin
ner
And now come qualified and expert
representatives of each of these inter
ests, not only denying these allegations,
but vigorously pleading for reform
forthwith from, the outside"
The development is prophetic.
1t means that congress can no longer
ignore the plea of the men most init
mately affected
1t means that, henceforth, if Congress
discharges its plain duty in the prem
ises, the country will have seen the last
of the custom Of perverting legitimate
barter and trade into game of juggle
and snare, with the farmer, the consum-
er, and, largely, the mill owner, left
with the bag to hold
The Farmers Union should feel tre-
mendously encouraged by the events Of
the last few days They have set in
motion a train of accumulating forces
that shotild speedily crown with success
their patient endeavors of the last FIVE
years.

PRISON REFORM
Mrs. Booth Will Lecture Tonight in the
City Hall.

AS already announced, Mrs. Maud
Ballington Booth will lecture tonight in
the auditorium of the city hall. The
subject, Prison Reform, appeals to the
best in the human kind, and as present
ed by Mrs. Booth leaves on the mind
the most favorable and lasting impress.
When Mrs. Booth was in Shreveport
about year ago she delighted her au-
distors who, no doubt, will be present
tonight TO greet her. Mrs. Booth is
possessed of a charming personality,
and her speech is clear and distinct
There is about her sweetness of man
ner which is attractive and enlists the
closest attention Of her auditors
throughout the lecture. Shreveport feels
honored in having the opportunity Of
welcoming Mrs. Booth, whose devotion
to the cause of reform has won for her
the everlasting love of all who have
come within the reach of her genial in
fluence.
After Mrs. Booth shall have closed
her lecture, Rev. j L. Sutton will en-
tertain the audience. He is pleasing
speaker and will present facts which
are of general interest.

TRADE MARK FIGHT
Decision of Court of Appeals Against
Government Official.

Washington Cd. c. Times February
5, 1910: The Court of Appeals of the

that has been raging throughout the

legal battle, it rendered final decision
in favor of the New Iberia Extract of
Tabasco Pepper Company, c. P Moss,
president, against the McI1henny Com
pany of which Civil Service Commits
sioner John A. McIlhenny is member

mark registered in the United States
Patent Office.

trademark was ordered finally cam
celled. In this connection a damage suit
by the New Iberia Extract of Tabasco

JUDGE A. J. MURFF
A Candidate for Congress Against
Judge Watkins.

In an interview given publicity Sun-
day Judge A. ]. Murff has announced
his candidacy for Congress against
Judge Watkins. In this interview he
arraigns Judge Watkins for having
failed to stand by the Democratic plat
form, especially his vote on lumber
Judge Murff queries:
rs Judge Watkins a Democrat? If
so, by what standard shall we measure
him? Has he lived up to the mandate
of the party? Does to be a Democrat
mean that one can repudite the party
platform and the people who sent him
and go over and vote for measures dia-
metrically opposed to it? Was tariff
on lumber a Democratic measure? 1t
was not, for the party emphatically de-
clared against it. Was it a Republican
measure? It was, for it was introduced
and supported by the Republican party.
With whom did Judge Watkins vote?
With the Democrats against it, or with
the Republicans for it? The Congress
ional Record shows he voted with the
Republicans for the tariff.
"The Democratic party stands for
equal rights and opportunities for all !;
the Republican party is the party of
privileges and private monopoly. The
Democratic party listens to the voice of
the people and gauges progress by the
prosperity and advancement of the
whole people, while the Republican
party is subservient to the favored few
who are benefciaries of governmental
favoritism, at the sacrifice of the
masses
