Nearly every day, said Commits

IS A LIAR
This Epithet Is Applied to Sanders
by PujO.

n. o. Item, Aug. 20: when the
Governor says | appeared before the
| Board of Equalizers he is in error, u
said Congressman Arsene P. Pujo
Monday in reply to Governor San
derS' charge that he used his official
position fo rthe benefit of the Union
Sulphur Company of Calcasieu. Il
| say that with reference to him as
Governor, but as to the individual |
say he is liar, and we'll he knows
it,"
The particular issue of fact Mr..
Pujo discussed Monday was whether
he hurried from Washington to
plead with the tax equalizers for the
benefit of the sulphur company. 1t
was but one of the charges Governor
Sanders made. Mr.. pujo will deal
with the others at Amite City Mon
day evening. Then he will talk of
the Governors record as the repre-
sentative of corporations, such as
The American Sugar Refining Com
pany in case against the State
while he was a State officer, the IL
linois Central Railroad against the
levee board, an agent of the State,
and the Louisiana Railway and Nav
igation Company's success in getting
a right of way through a convict
plantation, and the work of convicts
to improve the levee that the tracks
might have better roadbed
Mr.. Puio does not appear to have
any fear of comparison of his and
the Governors records as lawyers.
public officials or men. He again
challenges Governor Sanders to
jCint debate. He names Morgan City,
New Iberia, Franklin, Abbeville, La
fayette, Thibodaux and Houma as
good places as they are all in his
district. Franklin is Governor San
ders' home town.

bed and prepare his supper. He de-
clared at the coroner's inquest that
he went home late and awoke his
wife and asked that she prepare the
meal. He said that he prepared to
go to bed when she answered that it
was too late to ask for supper. Later
he took a revolver from beneath his
Ipillow and snapped it at his wife,
the bullet entering the corner of her
left eye, causing instant death. He

out of the revolver and put the

A Woman's Watch.

Eve-Up-to-Date in the Times.
Democrat: Here are a few rule.
Iabout watch that women shoulC
commit to memory:
Wind a watch at nearly the same
time each day. II is just as bad tC
wind watch too often as to let &
watch run down.
Do not wind your watch too tight
This is responsible for many a visit
to the jeweler.
Do not hold the watch by the stem
and wind the watch as some women
#thoughtlessly do.
Do not carry a watch in bag OF
purse. If you can not wear it outside
your gown fasten it to your blouse
ON the inside.
Don't bang a watch down on table
or bureau. II you will put it on its
back, see it has a soft berth. Far
better hang watch when not in
Use. Fascinating watch stands with
convenient hooks are now sold for
this purpose. They are ornamental
and lengthen the life of a watch.
Do not subject your watch to in
tense heat or freezing. 1t is injurious
though the works be of the best.
Do not attempt to clean your own
watch. When ii is dirty or needs
regulating send it to the jeweler
And be sure that you find one that
understands the mechanism of the
watch. There is as big a difference
between watch repairers as there IS
in doctors, and not all can cure.
