man who wore six shooters and spurs
and shouted in such tremendous
voice that the rattlers on the prairie
would run into their holes under the
prickly pear. Before there was a roy

$4,000 acres of land and more cattle

McENERY SCRIPT
Injunction Suit of the Frellsen Company
Dissolved.

The Picayune's Baton Rouge special
says: As result of the notice which he
sent out to McEnery script land owners
Fred Grace, register of the State Land
Office, is now receiving a great many
orders for confirmation of their McEn-
cry script titles by the issuance of a
patent by thel and office Mr.. Grace no
tilted all parties that the injunction suit
of the Frellsen Company had been dis
solved, and that they could now make
their final payments of $I.5o per acre
and get title to their lands.
Under the new law passed by the re-
cent session of the Legislature, every
McEnery script land owner has to make
this tender payment and secure a legal
patent for his land. The time limit for
making the tender was extended one
year, after which time the owners who
have not made tenders will have suit
brought against them by the Attorney
General to force the payment of the
$3.50 per acre. There are few who will
not take prompt advantage of the law
and get godd title to their land These
tenders will net near $25oooo to the
State before they are completed.

REASONS FOR MODERN IDEAS
OF MOURNING
Secretary

The reason that modern mourning
differs so greatly from that worn a gen.
Grafton ago is that men have riser
against il" said the dowager. Men as
a body detest sonbre garments. They
argue that clothes can not express grief
and that one can feel just as deeply,
without depressing everyone about them
by wearing crepe and other insignia of
woe.
Then too, mourning interferes, not
only with pleasure, but with business,
for occasions are sure to arise if wo-
man is in mourning, when her husband
wants her to go to some dinned arrang-
ed more for business than for pleasure,
and he finds it very annoying that she
can not go, without exposing herself to
criticism. But if you want to convince
yourself how men feel on the subject,
ask any young married woman how she
contrived to reconcile her husband to
the propriety of black clothes, especial
" if the deceased relative was not one
to whom he was much attached"

by William T. Elliott, q surveyor. who

The 80 granite monoliths, each OF
which cost $500 and weighs 30 tons
how stand in an unbroken row. They
are said to be the finest example Of

The completed building, as 1t stands,
represents three stages Of construction.
The nucleus. located by Jackson, was
finished in 1912. The south wing was
finished in 1854. The north wing, fin
ished in 1869, is on the side Of the old

President Taft's StraddIe.

The dispatch announcing the presi-
dents attitude toward the question of
government effort to distribute the
export and import trade more widely
says:
THE president does not believe II
to be the part Of the government to
introduce artificial barriers to prevent
this natural flow of trade"
II, then, the president does not be-
lieve in artificial barriers to pr ant
this natural flow Of trade, 1t is lot
unreasonable to wonder why he be-
lieves in the part Of the government
to prevent any natural flow of trade
And yet. as a Republican and a pro
tectionist, this is precisely what hs
does believe. Some Of the schedules
in the best tariff law that was evsr
passed" are. indeed, 30 high as almost
to stop the natural flow Of trade. The
effect Of this is to compel us to manu-,
facture, under the most adverse cir
cumstances, and at great expense and
Inconvenience, articles which we could
import more cheaply If there were nc
such barriers, and to tax the whole
people heavily to support an industry
employing a few men who could be
much more profitably employed ir
some industry that was natural to the
country.

Foolish Tariff Arguments,

opposing the protective principle.
In defense of protection 1t says:
by stimulating and developing pro-
duction 1t cheapens production. In
1890 all our tin plate was imported.
and 1t sold here at 1894 a box. Soon
after the Mckinley tariff put on a
duty Of IN cents a pound. the price
dropped to $3.50 a box"
A more audacious perversion Of the
truth was never penned. In 1890, &C
cording to the Statistical Abstract, the
price Of foreign tin plate imported to
this country was not 1894 a box but
SO a box. The foreign price has never
been more than $3.50 a box from 1884
down to the present time. II the Sta
tttstical Abstract figures may be relied
upon. OF course, the transportation
charges, amounting tn about 10 cent
a box, would have to be ausded to &c
the New York price. Furthermore
for six years after the passage Of the
Mckinley bill, the price Of domestic
tin plate was from 81 to 81 above the
price of imported plates in bond. Then
the difference began to decline, and
for some years 1t seemed as II the
consumer was about to get a square
deal. but directly after the passage Of
the Dingley bill a trust was formed to
control the output, and since then the
prices have been kept up to about the
same margin about the foreign price
level.
