Has Jeff Davis, Old Seat.

For many years a certain desk
in the senate chamber has been Gov
eted by John Sharp Williams OF Mis-
sissippi, and his wish will be realized
in taking the seat formerly occupied
by Jefferson Davis in the upper
house.
This desk of the one-time pres
ident of the Confederacy is perhaps
Of more historic interest than any
other in the senate. 1t is still dis
figured with the bayonets marks made
during the war by Union soldiers
who attempted to destroy it, Some
members, however, insist that many
of it's scars came from Senator Till
mans pitchfork.
Southern visitors, especially, al,
ways insist upon having this desk
pointed out to them, and it seems
fitting that it should be occupied by
a. senator hailing from the common,
wealth of Mississippi, Jefferson Davis
home state.
Senator Williams was most heart
lily welcomed back to active pubic
life by many senators who were for
merly his colleagues in the House

Louisiana to Have Fine Exhibit at
Chicago Land Show.

.
ssParish cooperation with the
state authorities and the Louisiana
Development League will insure
Louisiana exhibit at the Chicago
Land Show in November next OF
the first class, which will mean that
the eyes of additional thousands OF
homeseekers and investors Will be
turned toward louisiana said Man
ager sitter of the Development
League who, with state immigration
Commissioner Justin Denechaud Is
preparing to visit the various par
ishes for the purpose OF securing
active cooperation with the plan TO
exploit Louisiana soil, climate and
resources throughout the north and
west.
The Louisiana exhibit at Chicago
viii be given under the auspices OF
the Louisiana State Department OF
Agriculture and immigration, d. O..
Bruner, Commissioner, aided by the
Development League.
In November, 1909, a small ex-
hibit sent from Louisiana to Chicago
attracted much attention. In Noyem-
Der, 1910, a large exhibit was sent
and vigorous publicity campaign
was carried on throughout the
country by the South Louisiana Land
Shows Association. This second eff
fort proved SO successful that the
men behind the movement decided
to broaden it into statewide az
fair, the Louisiana Development
League was organized, and the State
Department of Agriculture was In
terested.
The Chicago exhibit this year will
be open to every parish in the state,
and the resources Of every parish
and every section of Louisiana will
be exploited to the fullest extent
possible. Ample space has been Sc
cured to take care of all the ex-
hibits and displays that will come
from individuals, parishes and from
the state museum and agricultural
departments, and arrangements have
been made to carry on a more ex-
tensive advertising and exploitation
campaign than was carried on last
year.
Subscriptions to the expense fund
thus far received include $500 from
the New orleans city council, $500
from the parishes of Acadia and St.
Mary and $500 from citizens of New
Orleans raised during a single days
canvass. The city council of New
Orleans rarely ever appropriates
money for such purposes, but in
this case, recognizing the immense
benefits to be derived, has gone
the limit.
Messrs. Sitter and Denechaud will
begin their trip the latter part of
the week, and will endeayor to visit
and explain the plan to every par
ish police jury in the state.

TRUNKS and BAGGAGE Handled
Negro Finds eia Pearl.

A pearl weighing AZ grains and
said to be one of the largest gems
of its kind in the United States,
was found by a negro pearl hunter
on the shores Of Lake Bisteneau, in
Caddo parish, and was sold to a
merchant in Shreveport last Satur-
day.
The gem was viewed by numbers
of jewelers. and merchants, and Gre
ated considerable talk. Some place
its value as high as $4,000, and one
jeweler declared he would have
readily given $4,000 for it.
Since the pearl hunting at Lake
Bisteneau commenced to attract at
tention recently hundreds Of negroes
are breaking mussel shells along
the lake shores and the negro who
found the precious gem was one OF
these.
Being told it was worth a great
deal of money he took it to shreve-
port and showed it to a merchant
of that city, who offered him $3.50
cash for it. This the negro took.
The merchant sold it soon after to
one of the pearl buyers, who it is
said upon authorltive Information,
paid $500 for it.
Those who saw the gem declared
Z 1t To be the most beautiful they had
ever seen. It's size was close to
that OF the ordinary marble. It was
perfect in every phase, color, life
and shape. and weighed AZ grains on
the jewelers. scales.
The finding of pearls in the mus
sells in the lakes about Shreveport
has attracted great attention lately,
and quantities of pearls valued at
from SIS to $500 have been found.
Two or three buyers have motor
boats On the lake and buy the best
pearls from the negroes before they
leave the lake shore.
For years mussels containing these
handsome pearls have crusted the
lake bottoms unnoticed
The negroes say they sometimes
open 100 to 200 mussels before find
ing a single pearl and the larger
pearls are not so easily found. The
pearl buyers sell wholesale to New
York jewellers.

investigations the Order of the Day.
Investigations are the order of the
day at Washington. Everything in
sight Is being investigated. The ac-
cumulation of testimony makes in
teresting summer reading matter,
for it is gathered in without the
restrictions of courtroom evidence.
Hearings, and over-hearings on tele-
phones, and what this one says to
someone else-all things come to
light. Fragments of conversation
make a congressional hearing much
more spicy than a dreary court rec
ord and words as biting and preg-
nant with personal feeling as are
credited to the most approved vii
lage gossip can go without Interrupt
ton in a hearing. The purpose of
digging out campaign material
through these Investigations is slim
ulating zest in disclosing things
that the original judicial probe
would not produce. The hot weather
has an appropriate temperature for
the grilling process-and a grill it
has been Family feuds, personal al

The Fiqht on Dir. Wiley.

An examination of the prosecu-
ton under the pure food law shows
why the food-dopers are SO anxious
to get DR.. Wiley out of the way.
Although the Remsen Board ruled in
favor of benzoate of soda, the fight
against benzoate food has been con-
tinued by DR.. Wiley and seizures Of
benzoated tomato ketchup made al
most daily sustain the contentious Of
Dr.. Wiley and disprove those of Sec
rotary Wilson, who has steadily
maintained that benZoate of soda
is not used to conceal inferiority.
The secretary has been compelled
to stultify himself every few days
by issuing bulletins telling of the
seizure of tomato ketchup preserved
with henzoate of soda. These bull
letins relate to seizures of ketchup
made from tomatoes and cannery
refuse preserved with benzoate of
soda and described as being filthy,
decomposed and putrid vegetable sub
stance A Philadelphia firm recent
~ shipped a lot of ketchup to Balti-
more, labeled as being preserved
with two-fifths Of one per cent, or
four times as much as the Remsen
Board approved Even that dose
was not sufficient to disguise the
character of the stuff and it was
seized by the government and de-
stroyed.
Out in Michigan a consignment Of
ketchup was shipped to Oklahoma.
This lot was also preserved with
benzoate of soda and was seized
and destroyed. Only 25 million bac-
terra per &C. was found in that
shipment, but in one from a we'll
known West Virginia firm, which
shipped eight hundred cases to an
Illinois firm, the ketchup ran forty
million bacteria per &C. A firm in
New York which has been promi-
nent among those fighting the pure
food law and Dr. Wiley's admins
tration, shipped into Louisiana a
large quantity of ketchup in which
the bacteria ran seventy-five million,
eighty million and eighty-five mil
lion per &C. Those interested were
fined $1,000 Another New York firm
shipped ketchup into Massachusetts
which was found to contain bacteria
at the rate of 165, 100000 per &C.
Another firm shipped ketchup into
Baltimore preserved with two-tenths
of one per cent benzoate of soda.
Only two hundred million bacteria
per &C. were found in that shipment,
which was described in the official
bulletin as made of filthy and de-
composed tomatoes and further adul-
terated by the addition of a cereal.
Another Philadelphia firm shipping
into Maryland, however, took the
premium. On analysis the bacteria
in its ketchup ran up to three hum
dred million per &C., showing it was
made of decomposed tomatoes in a
state Of most extreme filth.
Is it any wonder that those who
know the facts about the disgusting
practices INDUCED in by the pro-
benzoate manufacturers, are sustain
ing DR.. Wiley in his fight for the
protection of the people?
