Secretary of State Ludwig Says In. terstate Business, Does Not Bar
 Corporation From Paying it.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 11.-Secre- tary of State Ludwig is supposed to
 be an encyclopedia on game laws. corporation laws, and then attend to all the duties of his office besides. Monday he received letter from one corporation declining to pay the state franchise tax because it did an in- terstate business and had seen some opinion rendered in some other sta,n, whether such corporations could net ke forced to pay state franchise tax. To this corporation Secretary Ludwig simply wrote he knew what he was doing and if the franchis

WORLDS SERIES
 BETTING RING

Chicago, Oct. 11-Stage money and mind bets have faded into the dis tance and real money is pouring ill heavily on the worlds series. The betting has taken a brisk turn, and within the next few days local book makers expect to handle bundles Of coin. What wagering has been done favors the Cubs but prejudice seems to prevail over common sense. Little outside money has as yet arrived, but in sporting circles it has been said that Philadelphia and num- Der of eastern cities are preparing to swamp this city with coin.
 Mont Tennes, Jim OLeary and other big layers of odds were doing a steady business. The odds set by the professionals yesterday were 1( to 13 on Chicago and to on Phil adelphia. There was lot of scatter ing betting on pitchers.
 In Philadelphia the Quaker bet ters are wanting ? to 1 on their fay- orites, while in Cincinnati ever money bets are being offered. Sen- timent and prejudice seen to dictate the odds, rather than anything else

tary Ludwig most is to get from two counties the actual number of votes cast 'by them in the recent election. The law requires the election con- missioners to make a return of the total cast, as upon it the majority of amendments is based. Two counties have turned i'm all of their returns, but left off the total vote cast. The turning ill of the returns relieves them of any fine for failure to con- ply with the election laws, so plead- ing has to take the place of threats in securing the missing total vote. Until these are received the actual majority of Amendment No. 10 will not be known.

COUSIN" BOB FOR GOV.
I've Of BIS ardent Friends Predict that Pspu.
lar congressman VIII Succeed Sanders

Washington, March 10.-Victor
Loisel, United States marshal, and
Louis Lebourgeois, sheriff Of St.
James, and acting deputy United
States marshal, who arrived yester-
day, and are stopping at the Riggs
House, had the iashlight of a local
newspaper interviewer thrown upon
them. They fervently land Congress-
mai Broussard as a stateman in
Congress and at home.
What ID worrying US down in New
Orleans" said Mr.. Loisel, lis that our
friend Broussard may be induced to
run for Governor to succeed Governor
j. I. Sanders. One cannot hear any
other name when the question
OF who will be the next Governor of
the State is preached and we fear
that Broussard may have to accept.
Republicans and Democrats alike ap-
preelate the services Mr.. Broussard
has rendered the State and asa Re-
publican / can unqualifedly add nv
endorsement. We need Broussard in
the house. and for one | would like
to see him remain there, but I fear
the Democrats a 9 going to nominate
him whether he consents or not
Mr.. Lebourgeois said his friend
Loisel was right about Broussard and
that his nomination for Governor
would be a stepping stone for him
toward the senate, and it might be
we'll enough to elect him governor.
Then Mr.. Lebourgeois talked to
the reporter about the time he was
at Yale with President Taft and used
to wrestle with him and spoke Of the
popularity Of the President in Louisi-
ana and of his afectionate regard
for the President.

At this rate if his plants all matured,
his acre Of cabbage would bring him
the neat little sum Of S700. But

reduced his crop a full half, he would
still have a crop that wuuld bring

Country Folks Are Important

CEaN
The country paper is a valuable
one-not appreciated as it should be.
It is read with greater care than any
other printed matter. tt is read and
re-read and when fully digested is
mailed to some distant friend and
again read with redoubled interest,"
The readers of the country paper
don't get a paper every day and when
they do get one, they read every
word in it. 1t is easy, therefore, for
the advertiser to get acquainted with
them. They don't get to the city Of
ten and they are always deeply inter-
ested in the city news-the news
from the merchants as well as gen
eral news. They respond to adver-
tising quickly-they can be interest
ed in the better quality of goods the
advertiser has to offer, and the better
store service.
The low cost Of reaching this
public, makes it possible to build up
a profitable mail order business at
small expense.-White's Sayings.
