AN ACCEPTED THEORY

St Francisville, La, Dec. 23.-With
the sale here yesterday Of seven cars of
hogs for 5000 to w. A. Ritter, repre-
senting packing plant at Fort Worth,

proved the theory that the boil weevil
infestation is insurmountabie. Mr.. Rit-

dustry is rapidly being placed on a sys-
tematic and paying basis. Little cotton
was cultivated in this section last year.
However, the corn crop was the largest
ever grown, and with other feed crops
there will be abundant forage for an
other year.
Negroes. instead Of leaving the parish
after cotton growing had been aban-
ioned, co-operated with the white farm

JUDGE ALEX BOARMAN
\ View of the Bright Side Of His
Rugged Life.

Ruston Leader Dec. 81: Judge Alex
Boarman of the United States District
Court for this district-the old judge
with big heart and hobby for char
acter building in young boys charged be-
fore him for SINE violation of the Fed
eral laws-has again shown the bright
side of his rugged life A few days ago
he refused to try boy about twelve to
fourteen years of age, called before him
at Lake Charles, on account of his ten
der age, the love he entertains for boys
and because there was no place in Louis
lana other than the penitentiary to send
him should he be convicted. Judge Boar
man, after questioning the boy some,
told District Attorney Elstner that he
would not try the boy and would take
all the responsibility for his acts. Instead
of trying the lad, Judge Boarman turned
to him, shook hands with him, and
said: "Straighten yourself UP, go home
and be man." In his talk from the
bench about the case, Judge Boarman,
in part, said:
Our people have gone mad about the
financial side of things. All we think
about is money. We squeeze all the per-
fume out of the flowers for financial
consideration. We have lost sight of
the value of character and civic virtue.
1t is character that has real worth
from civic standpoint, and character
is grown in boys like this. You can not
produce it in barren sterile soil; some of
lis are too old for the seed to terminate
in, but it is young, fresh soil like this in
which the germ will fructify and pro-
duce splendid results"

vantage on the children themselves? In
no other trade or profession does the
nublic paw both for thu instruction and
the services of its employees. Do LAWYERS
and physicians get fire. lessons in add
ton TO their fees? Where is there
school for sheriffs and clerks of court
What instruction do the poor magis-
trates receive? Why are not druggists
required to have practical drills on the
best way to roll pills. The bank exam
iners should hold institutes to teach easy
ways of casting up accounts. All these
are as necessary, it seems to us, as the
constant drilling of teachers, who have
been examined, have certificates, and are
supposed to be capable of tecahing II
they are not capable, it would be wise
to discharge them and get others.
But this is a part of the system
The money spent for institutes goes to
the men higher up, the conductors If
spent for teachers, the service would
show immediate improvement. In ore
State, California we believe it is, the.
institute has been abolished and with no
bad results, but the contrary. When
will Louisiana follow suit?

CAPT. S. M. THOMAS
Died at the Home of His Daughter in
Camden, Ark, Friday, December IS.
Was a Confederate Soldier and Com
nlanded Thomas Battery.

Bossier Banner Dec. 22: Capt Samuel
Milton Thomas died last Friday of par
a1ysis at the residence of his daughter
Mrs. ]. w Warren, in Camden, Ark.
Captain Thomas was born near Jack
son, La, January II, 1883. His father,
Capt David Thomas, served in the
Mexican war, came to Louisiana when
it was still French territory. He was
one. of the founders of Centenary Col
lege of Jackson Deceased was educat-
ed in that institution and also served as
trustee for many years.
During 1855 he married at Clinton,
La, Miss Victoria Jackson, eldest
daughter of Michael Dickson, one of the
largest planters in Bossier Point. Mrs.
Thomas died during 1890.
At the first call for troops in the Civil
war he helped to organize the battery
known as Boone's Battery, of which he
was first lieutenant. When Captain
Boone was killed Captain Thomas be-
came captain, and the battery was after
ward known as Thomas Battery. One
OF the most daring ard eventfu1 cpl
sodes of the war in Louisiana was the
taking of the gunboat Indianola at the
mouth Of Red river. Captain Thomas
executed the feat with only small
steamboat and about twenty men. He
was in and defended the strongest posi-
ton at Port Hudson On the Mississippi
river. After the surrender of Port HID
son he was sent as prisoner of war to
Johnson's Island, where he was CON
fined for twenty-three months. After
his liberation he came to Bossier par
ish, where he since lived, with the ex-
ception of a few years spent in Caddo
parish.
During 1870 Captain Thomas was the
Democratic nominee for State senator
from the Twenty first Senatorial Dis
trict, composed of the parishes of Bos-
sier, Bienville, Webster and Claiborne
and was elected for term of four
years.
During 1893 Captain Thomas was APP
pointed postmaster at this place, which
position he held for several years.
During the past four years he lived
near Benton, but spent most of his time
with his daughter, Mrs. Warren, at
Camden, Ark
Deceased was well educated and one
of the best read men in this parish. OF
a ioyial and sociable disposition, he had
many friends, who regret to learn of his
death.
The remains arrived on the morning

THE RETIREMENT OF Mr.. JUS
TICE NICHOLS.


The New Orleans States says: If the
report is true that Mr.. Justice Nichols
is to avail himself of The new constitu-
tional amendment permitting members
of the Supreme Court to retire when
they have reached the age of seventy
five years and have been on the bench
Fifteen years, no one will deny that he
has earned the privilege by many years
Iof patriotic and helpful service to his
people.
At reunion of members of the Con-
stitutional Convention of 1893 some
years ago, Mr. Justice Monroe was
asked to name and respond to a toast to
the most distinguished living Louisian-
ian. In selecting Mr.. Justice Nichols
for that unique distinction, Mr. Monroe
undoubtedly voiced the sentiment of a
great majority of Louisianians.
Justice Nichols has been soldier,
statesman and jurist. A graduate of
West Point no son of Louisiana served
his State more nobly on the battlefelds
of the civil war Afterwards, in the pc
Rod of reconstruction, we was a tower
of strength in the struggle to preserve
white supremacy in the State In 1876
he led the Democratic hosts to victory
and he was the first Governor of his
party to be seated in Louisiana after the
outbreak of 1861.
With the adoption Of the Constitution
of 1879, he retired to private life In
1888, however, be was again called to the
executive office. and no public man has
given a finer exhibition of moral cour-
age nor displayed more indomitable
resolution than characterized his sue
cessful fight in his second adrninistra-
ton, against the enormous financial and
political resources of the old lottery
company
At the end of that struggle, which
marked also the close CT his administra-
ton, he was elevated to the Chief Jus
ticesfip of the Supreme Court and his
eighteen years service on the bench has
been characterized by unfaltering devo-
ton to duty and worthy discharge Of his
judicial functions.
No Louisianian has ever enjoyed more
fully the admiration and affection of his
people, whatever their political or fac
tional alignments, and if he is now to
lay aside his mantle as a public official,
he will carry with him in his retirement
good will.
