From the poem "Sela'' written and delivered by
| Lorena Ezell at St. Tammany February rs, at the
close OF Mrs. l. y. Siers school,
We the Peace Grove School of the session of 1910,
extend a hearty welcome to all who have come this
night to be with us we leave these dear teach
ers who have been so faithful to go out into the
world and take our part the great stage of life
May we ever keep in mind the beautiful lessons
taught us here; may we ever strive to be like
balm for sorrow.
Realizing this, who will not put aside seishness
and strive to make his fellow man happier? But how
| can we make some people happier? hear you say
Sella did not know at first because she was selfish
but she learned the secret through prayer. Is not
the mission of sela the mission of every true wo-
man? Where ever there has been struggle has not
woman taken part? Like an angel of mercy she has
moved about the battlefield midst all the dangers
and horrors of war bringing rest and quiet to the
wounded, peace and comfort to the dying. What
would have become of the cause of the confederacy
in the early COS had it not been for the women who
like the Vestal Virgins kept ever brightly burning
the affairs of the heart the fires of patriotic love-
With these things accomplished womanhood shall re-
turn to its throne
l would advise frequent communion with the God
OF all to the end that self control and self knowledge
may be the true end of life.
Let us not think this world so desolate and dreary
but let see more sunshine and brightness in it.
Let us keep all these things in mind for some day
bright and red will fall in the grasses and fade away
the sunshine grow dim with age and nature sink in
years.
Inc !haicn VI science Is SO great the progress OF
its illumination so irresistible in this great and grow
ing country that the generations come will look
back upon fables with PITY just the same as in
the days Of our former statesmen In closing I
$50 live that when thy summons come to join the
innumerable caravans, which move to that eternal
realm,
Thou go, not like quarry slave at night scourged
to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed by
falterlng trust;
Approach thy grave like one who wraps the dra-
perry OF his couch about him and lies down to peace
full slumber.'

WANTED EMPLOYMENT

New York, Nov. 15.-"Belle Fillmore is alive and I have seen her. was the statement made here today by Mrs. Lola Greer at her home in Roose- welt, L. I. Mrs. Greer, who is the widow of Robert G.. Greer, former head of the Greer Booking Agency, which had booked the actress seven years ago, declared that Belle Fillmore came to her house one night about the time that Crippen was taken back to England and asked for Hr. Greer, from whom she wanted to secure vaudeville engagement.
 The woman said she wanted to ap- pear under the name of Daisy Nor- ton to conceal her identity until her husband, who was in trouble in Eng land, was dead. Mrs. Greer thought this very strange and asked the wo- man jokingly if she was not afraid she would be taken for Belle Elmore. According to Mrs. Greer the woman threw up her hands and tainted. When Mrs. Greer drew the woman up to revive her she was startled to see the features of a woman her husband had booked seven years ago as Belle El- more.
 On recovering from the swoon the woman begged Mrs. Greer to keep her visit 2, secret. Upon being told that she would be detained sandean off, Ger was in hailing distance she swung the door open and fled into the dark ness.

Makes This Declaration in Speech at Banquet Given

HAS SIGNI PECAN C K
Big Battle For Worlds Commerce Will Result Upon Compel
 ion of CanaL

Colon, Panama, Nov. 16.-"The United States will not annex Panama, but will guarantee the independence of the Central America Republic through which runs the great inter- ocean canal" President Taft made that clear during his speech here to- day ct the banquet given in his honor by President Arosemena at the Hotel Central in Panama City. This form- al and official definition of the atti- tude of the United States towards the Central American states falling from the lips of President Taft with such positive repudiat'on of the annexation talk was received with enthusiasm. Significance was attached to the view of the President and some wondered if this was formal outline of our attitude towards the Nicaragua.
 There was some little resentment among the politicians over the frank ncss Of the statement of our responsi- bjiities. It was pointed out that this required the United States to closely observe the course of conduct of the government officials after such care fully selected declaration by Presi- dent Taft and is taken to mean an ac- knowledgement of Panama. Presl- dent Taft is great concerned about the Canal and regards it's construction as the greatest thing facing the nation today. The engineering problems are ended and now comes the ques- tion of devising methods of mainten- ance. It is evident that "a big battle is ahead for the control of the com meron If the world. This is given as the reason why our government should exercise control of all sup lplies, docks and wharrves and why 1t lis as settled that Congress should fix the maximum and minimum tolls or leave it to the President. Speedy settlement of these questions is con- sidered imperative as 1t is almost cer- tain that ships will be passing through by 1913.
 Today the Presidential party in- spected the Culebra cut and was im- pressed with the fact that the work has been so far advanced. During the afternoon President Taft met the la bor representatives and listened to their request for more pay. Tomor- row he will visit the Pacific coast section and will sail for Guamandamo on Saturday.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF

Washington, D. C., Nov 16.-The prosperous cousins of Europe are those who have their industries pro- tected by tariff wall, is the opinion of Senator Frank T. Flint, of Califcr- llia, who has just returned from a tour of Europe. during which he made study of the industrial conditions in the several countries which he vis- tted.
 After covering the greater part of Europe" said Senator Flint, q reach the conclusion that the most prosper ols people saw were those in the German Empire, where the higher protective tariff prevails.
 The condition of both the laborer and the market is the most unsatis- factory in free trade England, in fact a committee from the industrial clas- ses in England visited Germany and on returning reported wages were higher and employment steadier and conditions more satisfactory for the working men there than in England. I am satisfied that this report was correct

St; Louis, Mo-, Nov. 16.-An insur- xeiaf movement that has gained many yotee created a sensation in the Am- 4xfcan Federation of Labor convention today. Andrew Gallagher, of San Nf8ncisco, led the movement and told not only President Gompers, but III other officers that they must pay nx3re attention to the Central Labor b66aes than they had seemed willing to Heretofore do.
 The question was on the seating of delegate from the Keokuk, Iowa, c10tral labor council. Gallagher 00ntinued that as long as they had Gocepted the per capita tax of the council the Federation should seat the 1olegate. He also took occasion to ny that Secretary Morrison had tried to revoke the charter of the San Francisco Labor council. This Abatement of Gallakher raised the sGreatest, commotion and many dele kgates shouted,' Gallagher is right. x President Gompers refused to rule lon Gallagher.s point of order the like of which had never been raised be. fore. If Gompers had ruled favor ably several international unions might have been outlawed.
 The insurgent movement in the American Federation of Labor is so strong that even President Gompers is dissatisfied. Gompers will be re- elected President of the Federation.

MYSTERY UNSOLVED
Assassin POked Gun Through Broken Window and Fired-Offi-

Coroner H. E. Williams and Sheriff Edgar Brewster spent yesterday at Fairfield Investigating what appears to be a cold-blooded assassination of a negro, Ed Lee, about 40 years old. at his home on the Murphy planta- ton.
 Lee was shot Tuesday night about 10 o'clock. The house was occupied by himself and wife and another wo- man. In examining the witnesses the officers found that Lee was asleep in his bed when some person pushed shotgun through broken window pane at the side of the bed and fired "a load of bird shot into his back, killing him instantly. When the officers arrived at the scene yes terday morning the negro was still lying on the floor covered with blood. The officers and friends of the negro are at loss on whom to place the crime, as there is no known motive why anyone should have killed him. | Sheriff Brewster and Dr. Williams returned last night and stated that they had examined very closely all | the facts of the case and some action may be taken today in the way of solving the mystery surrounding the assassination.
