"No matter how much tax is
levied upon the people of Frank

compelled to pay to send their
children to school for from two

about five months. This is a
bad showing, but relief will

memory serves US right, this

when the schools throughout the
parish had to be closed on
account of there beng no money
to support them, that it was
strange that the Franklinton
school could run on. 1t would
have been easy to explain why
the Franklinton school had
money at that time but it is not

The Piano Contest.

In our issue Ut last week we
inadvertently over-stated the
standing of numbers 100, 106 and
&c. These, however, appeared
correctly in the official bulletin
on display in the show. window
of Peoples Drug Go.
We have heard, that, to a mer-
chant, buying at wholesale, vote
certificates will be issued-manl,
testify unfair to contestants who
are not merchants. Respecting
this matter, Mr.. Doremus in
form US that any article at full
retail price bought by anybody
carries with it the usual vote
certificates. No one can be ex.
cluded from a deal of this kind.
In this connection it should be
observed that any contestant can
make 10000 votes by selling q
trading book to auy person who
is willing to trade for medicines,
magazines, subscriptions, etc., at
regular prices
A ludicrous mistake was made
by Mr.. Doremus, who displayed
a picture, supposedly of con-
testant, which represented a
man waving a flag and saying:
Il am ahead, though last" AS
it is we'll known that only ladies
are, or can be, contestants for
the $500 Uupton piano prize, Mr..
Doremus placed a skirt on the
figure but overlooked the chest
and arms which remained un.
clothed, as it were. until today's
change in the bulletin,
Until Sept. q, lists of names
will be received as usual, but
after that date no list can be
accepted. Comparisons will then
be made to determine who shall
receive the award of 1000 votes
for the longest list in any class
at any postomce.

the place of some who have
dropped out, are maxim Z matters

Pine, La, Sept. 10, 1911.
The following resolutions were
adopted by an Aswell Club,
which was organized here:
Whereas, The people OF the
State of Louisiana are now
confronted with a political con.
test, especially in the selection OF
a competent man to serve the
State as Governor; and,
Whereas, We. the citizens OF
Pine, La, desire to contribute
our influence and support to an
able aspirant for that high office.
Therefore, be it resolved, BY
the people Of this meeting, that
we do now 60 into a permanent
organization for the purpose OF
advancing the candidacy OF DR..
James. B. Aswell for Governor
of this State, said organization to
to be known as the Aswell Club
|of Pine, La.
Be it further resolved that we
declare ourselves in favor of DR..
Aswell because we believe he
will fill the great Office to which
he aspires with the same fidelity
to duty and the high standard of
ability that has ever marked his
efforts as public officer, giving
the people an honest, conscien.
cious administration, bringing
new honors to himself and re-
flecting great credit upon his
State. :.
