The class of people who squander the

worse than the sharpers who fleece
them. for both are playing the same

Oats have been recognized as a sort
of ideal horse feed so long that any
suggestion which appears to controVert
this view seems to be sort of revolu-
tionary, but this is just what the Iowa
experiment station has done lately. 1t
has concluded some rather exhaustive
horse feeding experiments and finds
that, while oats are usually the lowest
priced cereal fed to horses, they may
in the end be the most costly ration
that can be used. 1t was found that
by substituting for them oilmeal, cot
tonseed meal or gluten meal Just rs
satisfactory results were had at less
cost. In results secured a value OF stu
per ton was placed on oilmeal and an
even higher price On cottonseed meal.

The case Of the State OF Louisiana YER
sus the two Britton boys and young Cor
don Of Concordia parish, charged with
the killing Of young Labree at Fish Pond,
in that parish. some time ago, has oc-
cupied the attention the past week of the
District Court, now in session at vidalia.
The two Brittons were indicted for mur-
der and Gordon ior manslanghter BY the
Ccncordia parish Grand Jury lsst week.
A motion was made by the defense to
quash the indictment on tecniosllty.
but the motion was nyeF-ruied. The de-
fense then offered a motion asking for a
change OF venue, claiming that undue
prejudice existed against the defendants
in Concordia parish and alleging that an
impartial jury could not be secured. The
Court also oter-ruled this motion. Had
the motion obtained and the change Of
venue been granted it is probable that
the case would have been brought to
Tensas for trial. The Court has fixed
next Monday as the day for the trial to
begin. A strong array Of legal talent has
been engaged ON either side and battle
royal can be expected.

CAPTAIN TOMMY"

Thomas Waldron died at the residence
Of his old friend and slipmate, John
Kennedy, i'm Natchez, last saturday, and
when his brave soul left its earthly tene-
ment there passed away one OF the most
striking personalities we have ever known.
Twenty-seveny years ago, or thereabouts,
Captain Tommy" as he was affection
ately known to the people he so long and
faithfully served, took charge of the line
of boats, owned by J. n. Carpenter, and
running between vicksburg and Natchez,
and for a quarter of century this hum
BILE and modest hero was responsible for
the safety of thousands of human lives
and millions of dollars worth of proper
ty. During that period not one life nor
one dollars worth of property was lost
on the boats commanded by him.
In fair weather and foul, when balmy
breezes swept the great river, and when
the storms came, the rugged figure of the
little Captain might be seen on the hur.
ricane deck, watchful and alert, sleepless
and untiring, doing his duty as nobly
and as efficiently as any naval hero o.
whose exploits we read in song and story
and to whose memory great nations erec
stately memorials in imperishable bronze
No such monument is needed for Cap
tain Tommy" for long shall his mem
ory be cherished by the dwellers on the
Great River and long will be held in af
fectionate regard the name OF this simple
honest man who lived the strenuous lii'
as a brave man should and did hi
whole duty to himself and his fellow
man, than which none can do more
He manfully braved the storms an'
tempests OF this life-may his dauntles
soul have that peace which passeth un
derstanding!

II you are subject to constipation, you

They only give temporary relief and their
reaction is harmful and sometimes more
annoying than constipation. They in no

to weaken the already weak organs with
which they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have the
best constipation treatment ever devised.

Rexall 0rderlies. Thee are prompt, ,s3oth-
ing, and most effective In action. They
are made of recent chemical discovery.
Their principal ingredient is odorless,
tasteless and colorless. Combined with
other well-known ingredients, long es-
tablished for their usefulness in the treat
ment Of constipation, it forms a tablet
which is eaten like candy. They may be
taken at any time, either day or night,
without fear Of their causing any incnn-
yenience whatever. They dc not glipe
puTge, nor cause nausea. They act WI h
out causing any pain OF excessive looee

Fire Fighting Device for LOGON. .tivss.

W. r. Barton, Fire Prevention In
pector of the Missouri Pacific-Iron
Mountain has studied out fire fighting
apparatus which, can be attached TO rail
road locomotives and effectively used in
preventing confagrations on the tracks.
A test of the appliance was recently made
at tie Ewing Avenue Shops of the Mis-
souri, Pacific in st. Louis, which was wit
messed by Assistant Chief John F. Barry
of the st. Louis Fire Department and
Chief James T. 0'Donnell OF the st.
Louis Underwriters Salvage Corps. 1t
was demonstrated that stream Of water
could be thrown 65 feet in the air with
POO pounds Of steam pressure on loco
motive. In letter to Acting General
Manager J. w Higgins of the Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain, Messrs. Barry
and ODonnel endorsed the appliance
SO strongly that it has been decided to
equip all yard engines on the entire Sys-
tenn and some of the road locomotives
withit.
The tanks Of the large yard engines
hold 5000 gallons Of water. Barton's plan
is to carry 80 feet or IA inch steam
hose on a reel under the running board
Of the engine: Steam hose is used, as the
water which comes from the tank and is
forced through the branch pipe is very
hot, and in short time would destroy
the ordinary ruhher hoee. The connec-
ton is placed on the branch pipe between
the boiler check and injector. The idea
is than when an engine reaches the
scene OF fire in the yards a switclman
is to jerk the hose from the reel and at
tach il to the coupling leading from the
branch pipe, and the engineer is to start
the injector, while the fireman goes out
ON the running board and opens the valve
ia the branch pipe leading to the boiler
check. The stream of water can then be
turned on the confiagration.
Mr.. Barton, who designed the appa-
ratus, was for number of years General
Inspector of the st. Louis Fire Preven-
tion Bureau, and says that many disas-
trous fires in railroad yards are caused
by tine inability OF the city fire engines to
get close to the scene, whereas railroad
locomotives can reach the scene in the
shortest possible time by running over

VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT.

Tensas is the home of pure de-
mocracy, and should always be.
Here lives little handful OF white
men, numbering less than 400 vot-
ers, surrounded by a mass OF blacks,
among whom a sufficient number
could legally register and vote to
overcome the whites at the polls.
Let none delude himself by the
idea that our present election laws
have irrevocably secured white su-
premacy. Let the whites once di-
vide, and two political parties come
into existence here, the menace OF
negro control, either by majority
vote or by the balance OF power,
would at once rear its sinister head.
The old generation Of Tensas men
know this. They have seen the
horrors Of the reconstruction period
when the Sheriff, the two Repre-
sentatives, the Recorder, the Coro-
ner and six out of seven Magistrates
and Constables were negroes. Let
the young men take counsel with
the old men and fall into line and
vote the straight Democratic ticket
at the coming primary.
Let all Tensas men be sure to
vote for Joseph E. Ransdell and
Jared Y. Sanders, for the United
States Senate and so send there two
men whose democracy cannot be
questioned.
OF Mr.. Ransdell's democracy it
is unnecessary to write. He has
long and ably represented us IN
Congress and has made there rec
ord as a strict party man.
Gov. Sanders is from South Louis
iana-from the sugar district in
which so many public men have
wavered in their allegiance to the
white people of the State and have
gone over to the enemy because OF
a mistaken idea that the Republi-
can nartv was a friend to their great
industry
But among these Jared Y. San
ders stands out as notable instance
of man who always preached and
practiced true Democratic doctrine,
and although surrounded in his
home parish by backsliders. kept
true to the faith and to the white
people and their party.
Compare Sanders record with
that OF his opponents, Broussard
Ind Pujo.
Broussard voted with the Repub-
licans on the last two tariff bills
and voted with Joe Cannon and
against the Democratic leaders in
the House.
Pujo voted with the Republicans
for the last tariff bill and is the
attorney of the Standard Oil Trust
and many other corporations.
Send Sanders to the Senate and
Tensas win be represented by the
kind of Democrat we know here
by Democrat at heart, by clean
brainy, fearless white mans man.
