HEALTH BOARD
Property Owners Held Accountable
for the VidangueP Service.

The Board of Health has adopted
a rule which in the future will ap-
ply to the property owners instead
of the tenants. In the past the ten
ant was expected to pay for the
service, which was annoying, unsat-
isfactory and involved loss to the
Board of Health. Under instruc-
tions of the board, Secretary Seay is
notifying all property owners sub
ject to the rule that such service
must be paid as required. This will
insure a better system of sanitation
1t is expected that the payment for
this service will receive the same
attention as that given to the taxes
due to the city, the parish and the
State.

CANDIDATE MICHEL
Does Not Intend to Retire nor Re-
lease His Grip on the GubernatO-
rial Pie Except II Be Severed by
Death.

From New Orleans it has been an
nounced that the friends of Mr.
Michel embrace this opportunity to
set at rest for alp time such doubt
as these publications may have ere
ated, in the minds of few, of his
intention to remain in the race for
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernOr. His announcement of May
last that no contingency save death
alone will prevent him from being a
candidate for. governor in the next
state primary, was his final word on
the subject. He has no intention
whatever of running for Congress or
for mayor of the city of New Or
leans, and any statements to the
contrary are misrepresentation in
tended to injure him in his can
didacy for the governorship.
There is no reason why Mr.. Michel
should retire from the gubernatorial
race and every reason why he
should remain in it. The business i'll
terests of New Orleans have strong
" endorsed his candidacy, the po-
lItical elements of this city are ad-
mittedly supporting him on the the
ory that he is the best man in the
race for governor, and the develop
ment of his strength in the country
has exceeded the hopes of even the
most sanguine of his friends.
Mr.. Miohers friends are thorough
| ly satisfied with the present political
situation in Louisiana. Basing their
opinion on conditions as they exist
and not on speculation or theory
they have every reason to hope fol
successful issue of the canvass as
| far as his candidacy is concerned.

GRUESOATE FIND
A Skeleton DiSintePred on Douglas
Island IL Feet Underground.

In excavating a trench for the
pipe line which is being extended
across Douglas island, a skeleton
was .disinterred fourteen feet under
ground. The skull was brought to
the sheriff's office today by Mr..
Brown. The skull would indicate
that the individual was a negro.
There was a chain fastened to the
neck and to the ankle. The bones
are in a good state of preservation.
Near the bones was a piece of fence.
The various strata of earth show
that from the piece of fence there
has been a gradual filling until the
present level of fourteen feet is
reached. The individual may have
been drowned, and perhaps he was
a prisoner trying to escape. Me may
have stepped overheard from a
steamboat, or he may have been
lost. However, it is all a mystery Of
forty years ago, and may ever be a
mystery.

WEATHER AND CROPS
The Rains Came Too Late to Prevent
Damage Sustained by DrOuth.

Picayune June 26: The past week
has been in all respects a very fav-
orable one for agricultural interests
in the South. The longed-for rain
materialized in ample measure,
practically all portions of the cotton
belt having experienced good rains
except a few places in Texas and in
Oklahoma. Even these two states
have received enough rain to meet
present requirements. AS result
of the rains optimistic reports are
being received from all parts of the
cotton region, and in many states
the crop is well advanced for this
time of the year, and promises an
early movement.
Not only has there been abundant
rainfall, but temperatures were de-
cidedly lower, affording almost ideal
conditions for the proper develop
ment of the crop. The rainfall was
heaviest in the central portion of
the belt, although the WnOIe eastern
section also received sufficient mois-
Iture. In Texas and Oklahoma the
private reports of rain have varied
greatly from the official government
reports. The trouble with the wealth
er service is that it has entirely toe
| few stations in so large State as
Texas, and even Oklahoma is not
covered as we'll by the Weather Bu-
reau as it should be.
| While the rains have benefited the
corn crop, they came too late to pre-
went damage which the crop has I'M
doubtedly sustained from the lont
i drouth. just how much the corr
] crop will be cut off by the injur!
Idone by the hot weather of the frs
Iof June it is impossible to say at tn,
lpresent time. but the crop promis
lis by no means as fine as it was.

OFFICIALS INDICTED
Sheriff Matt Long and Capt. Richard
Meredith, Keeper Of the Parish
Prison i'm New Orleans.

1t appears that J. NJ. Parker OF
New Orleans is untiring in his ac-
tivity. It will be recalled that it,was
partly through his. instrumentaGty
that number of men were convict
ed of election irregularities and
swindling in an election where only
one man, Judge Somerville, was the
candidate. There was no need or
excuse for this outrage, but these
men, long accustomed to such polit-
ical rascality, could not resist the
temptation of tampering in this
election.
These men, when convicted were
assigned to terms in prison, but it
has developed that these men have
been doing very much as they chose,
going home when so inclined and
having a good time instead of being
in Jail in compliance with their SEN
tence.
The indictments by the grand jury
were found on the evidence of the
prisoners convicted, who were cited
to appear and relate their expert
ence.
AS should be expected, the friends
of Captain Meredith and the friends
of Sheriff Long are loud in their
protests and denuneiations, but
these should be required to pay the
penalty for nonfeasance in office.
If the keeper of the parish prison
and the sheriff are privileged to per-
nit prisoners consigned to their
charge to enjoy all the privileges
and rights of good citizens, of what
use are jails and courts?
It is sufficient to assume that if
the men convicted for election
swindling were of the ordinary type
they would not have been permitted
to enjoy the privilege granted them
by the parish prison keeper and the
sheriff. These two officials should
be removed from office.

L, COTTON REVIEW
Commercial Appeal Gives Out Opti-
mistic Report.

Memphis, Tenn, June 25.-The
weekly cotton crop review tomor-
row will say: Rains fell in moderate
to heavy quantities in all parts OF
..e cotton belt during the week save
western and southwestern parts Of
northern Texas and western Okla
homa. Where rains fell, the cotton
crop has been put in most excellent
condition and the promise is fine.
The fields are universally we'll culti-
waited and the plant is green, healthy
growing and fruiting. Blooms are re-
ported in the most northern dis
tricts.
In Alabama and Mississippi CEN
trail cotton belt the outlook is the
best in many years and conditions
approach an ideal. The yare a little
less favorable in South Carolina
where rainfall has not yet been suf-
ficient. In western Texas ana Okla
homa the crop has suffered no in
jury that rain will not repair, but
the ground is becoming quite dry
and such light and scattered show
ers as have fallen have given but
little relief. Rain is rapidly becom-
ing necessary for good cotton
crop. In Arkansas, louisiana and
southern Mississippi boil weevlIs
are becoming more numerous since
the rains, but are not so bad as at
lis time last year.
