The feudal system introduced by
William the Conqueror. King of Nor

ing tho Middle Ages in Europe. The
land granted by the King or chief. as
he was often called, to his favorites,
was called "fefs. and the persons
TO whom the land belonged were
called tho rassals or servants TO their
lord. Every German who helped his
lord received his spoil m reward.
The homo of the master was atrong

SALT.

Salt belongs to the mineral kingdom.
1t is used for many things. and If you
leave IL out of anything that needs
1t. It will not taste good.
The way we get orr salt is by get
ting tho water fro insult springs,
oceans. lakes and seas. Then put 1t
into shallow pans ana set 1t over tho
flrc or put It into warm room and
let tho water evaporate and then
scrape the salt out and let 1t dry. The
chief salt producing States In our
country are New York, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Michigan.
Tho other countries that produce
salt are Russia. Germany and Poland
and in Poland there nre sale, mines
1000 feet deep. In the foreign coun-
tries they get salt out OF the ground,
and that is called rock salt, and "a

Hooray for the Parish FairI

The Chronicle is pleased to record
the fact that parish fair associa-
ton for Grant is now assured. This
has been IA pet hobby with the
Chronicle for 10, these many years;
but within the past few months we
have been induced to hooray for this
movement with marked improve
ment in the chances for success, and
the signs of the times and the faith
OF the people have been such that the
thing is accomplished.
We most heartily congratulate the
progressive citizens of Grant who
have taken hold of this proposition
aud pushed it to completion. Else
where in this issue will he found an
account OF the meeting at Dry Prong
last Saturday, at which the move
ment was put on an assured basis
for final success.

A Maneuver in the .swar Game. >

The announcement is made from
Washington that 10000 U. S. troops
have been ordered to maneuver in
the neighborhood of the Mexican
border, and that two fleets of war
vessels also mobilize at the same
place.
The government officials claim that
it is only ''manenver" to demon
strate this country's preparedness
for war;" but the suspicion is strong
that it may be movement to take
u real hand in the war game"
As mn Offset to the newspaper SEN
sations on this subject President
Taft has addressed diplomatic note
to President Diaz, assuring him that
mobilization has no significance that
should cause the Mexican authori-
ties any concern.

We Had the Ryans Mixed.

Perhaps no living priest has
ever enjoyed more popularity
than Father: Ryan. He was par
ticularIy loved in the South for
his patriotism. Of late years we
have not heard much of him, be-
cause of his promotion to the arch
diocese of Philadelphia. Arch
bishop Ryan died at his residence
in Philadelphia on Fedbauary IL,
1911, at 4:08 o'clock in the after
noon. Colfax Chronicle.
The archbishop was not the
poet priest. The archbishop was
named Patrick John. Our Ryan
was A. S., and he died at Louis
vile, KY, years ago, and is now
with that banner of which he so
touchingly said:
1T will live In song and story.
Wreathed about with folds of glory.
For there's not a hand to waive 1t.
Nor a soldier left to lave 1t
In the blood that heroes gave It.
Forever furled IN heaven let 1t rest
Among Gods angels and the blest. y

Two Remarkable Seasons.

In a letter to the Macon Tele-
graph Mr.. John S. Wimbish, a
prominent Georgia farmer, who
has had fifty years experience
in weather observations, COM
pares the present protracted warm
spell with that of the spring of
1894, and says he recalls no other
seasons as remarkable as the two.
But he mentions the fact that the
winter of 1893 and the early
spring of 1894 were more remark
able in the matter of warm wealth
err than the period of the present
year has been.
He says there was scarcely any
cold that winter after the 18th of
December until the Oath of
March, 1894. On Sunday, March
25, 1894, the thermometer in his
part of Georgia registered twelve
degrees above zero. The wealth
er had been like spring for more
than two months, sweet peas
were nearly ready to be picked,
corn was high enough out of the
ground to pillow, China trees
which are late to put out foliage
were in full bloom, and every
thing in the looks of the forest
on the oath of March presented
the appearance of the latter part
of April. But the next day
everything was killed. China
trees that had withstood the cold
for fifty winters were so full of
sap that the bark burst from
them, many of them dying to the
ground, while thousands of fig
and peach trees were killed.
Mr.. Wimbish is reminded of
that season by the present one
and evidently fears that there
will be a disasterous spell of cold
weather before the end of March,
for he expresses the opinion that
there is still a chance, but a very
slim one for a fairly good harvest
of peaches, because in his fifty
years of farming he has never
seen any fruit from trees bloom
ing in January and February. =

No Public Drinking Cups on Trains.

On March LIST Louisiana lined
up with other progressive States
in the Mississippi Valley and the
Southwest in abolishing the dis
ease-spreading public drinking
cup. On that date the new law
enacted by the General Assembly
at its last regular session became
effective and steps have been TAX
en- by the different railroads in
the State to comply with the pro-
visions of the law relating to
them.
The State Board of Health is to
see that the law is rigidly enforc-
ed, and Secretary E. S. Kelly of
the board, has already begun
preparations to abolish the public
drinking cup pest as soon as it
can be lawfully done. He is in
receipt of communications from
many of the railroads to the effect
that he will have their co-opera-
ton, and asking that the board
furnish them with placards to be
posted at drinking coolers and
fountains on the trains advising
the public that those desiring to
partake of aqua pura must fur
nish their own drinking vessels.

An Awful Choice.

Poison or the rope which?
A CHASTITY, grisly question,
surely, but that's the question
which will be put to Nevada pris-
oners under sentence Of death,
if the plan of the Code Commits
sion is approved by the Legisla-
ture.
The prisoner will be handed a
bottle with this inscription:
There is contained herein a
sufficient quantity of hydrocyanic
acid to cause instantaneous death.
You are authorized to take the
same for the purpose of carrying
into execution the sentence of
death heretofore legally pro-
nounced against you"
The code also provides:
IF the defendant, after hav-
ing elected to take hydrocyanic
acid, shall fail or refuse to take
the same, he shall be forthwith
hanged by the neck until dead. "
A humane reform, perhaps,
yet who can read these provis-
ions without a feeling of revul-
sion against the horror Of the
thing? In this case, the prisoner
is asked to choose between suicide
and murder. An awful choice
for civilized State to put to a
human being!--Shreveport Times.
