The Era-leader. [volume] (Franklinton, La.) 1910-current, 1911-11-30

Pine, in the Bogalusa American
OF Saturday, November %, 1911.
The letter .pretends to reprerent
the sentiment of. the people at
Pine. The writer, who signs his
name as Mr.. In dignant,
represents himself to be citizen
Of Pine, all of which we seriously
doubt. One thing we do know
and that is he does not represent
the sentiment of the people of
Pine. We on'taccuse the editor
of the American OF writing The
article; we don't even accuse him
of having it done but the article
is so far from the truth and such
a Misrepresentation of the true
conditions at Pine, that we are
compelled, in justice to the good
people of that neighborhood, to
take notice of same. We do not
know who Mr.. Indignant" is,
but we venture to say he is not a
representative citizen of Pine.
The people of Pine and the
neighborhood about Pine are

date" We have been there and
talked with the good people who
live there and know whereof we
speak. If there are five people
| in the entire neighborhood who
are not supporting Dr.. Aswell
no one has yet found them.
Facts are facts and when such a
barefaced Misrepresentation OF
good honoroble people, like those
of Pine, is tried to be perpetrated
we feel that it is but the just
dues of those people to have such
an outrage called to time. Who
is Mr.. Indignant" Where did
he come from? Where does he
live and what does he do? 1t is
passing strange that this 1ndig
nation was so long in reaching
the surface. Such POLITICAL ROT
rot will never win votes. This
parish is beyond redemption as
far as the opponents of Aswel
fare concerned. His vote vii
tower above that of both his
|opponents. This fact is vel
known to all who are acquainted
with the situation. We sugges

MUST TELL GRAFT STORY
Danvilie Judge Orders Prosecutor to
Answer All Questions Put by
Jury In 6ribe Quiz.

Danville. Ill.-Judge Kimbrough in
the circuit court handed down a de-
cision in the case OF City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that. according to decision OF the
Supreme court Of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury is
immune from indictment. The court
also held that the city election law is
unconstitutional. which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. 1t is
said that many indictments have been
voted, but whether they are for vote
selling is not known.

Tvs Merry Games,

brush. nail brush. old doll-in fact,
anything that can be collected around
the house. Choose by lot or ballot two
captains. who then choose sides and
place their players in line SO that they
face each other. A full basket Is
placed on the right OF each captain
and an empty one at the left of the
players at the end of each line. At q
captain selects an article from his bas-
ket and hands 1t to the next person.
who Immediately passes 1t as quickly
as possible to the person at his side.
In this manner the articles are picked
up and rapidly passed on. II an article
is dropped 1t has to go back to the
captain and be started over again
The side which first lands everything
in the basket at the other end wins.
The prizes should be good things
among the articles passed. such as
boxes Of chocolate cigarettes, wee ia
vors like pencils. key rings. etc. It
may add to the interest of the game
to offer a prize to the player who can
remember the names OF the articles
passed and write them down on a slip
OF paper ten minutes after the game
has been played and the objects re-
moved from sight. The hostess, Of
course, must have a correct list and
check on the articles. This makes
quite a memory test.
The next game is so old that It was
new to me. 1t is called Hop Over"
The players are asked to form a circle
about two feet apart from each other.
The leader stands in the middle, hold
ing a long. stout string to the end of
which Is tied a small book wrapped in
paper. The person in the middle
whirls the book around the circle on
the floor, holding it by the string, and
each time coming nearer the feet of
the players who form the ring. AS
the book comes nearer and nearer the
feet the players must jump over 1t.
AS the book is whirled very rapidly
the jumping becomes more lively and
makes loads OF fun. II the book
touches the foot of anyone that per-
son must take a turn In the middle
and try to touch the foot of some one
who will take his turn. Just try this
and see how amusing it is.
