THINGS TALKED ABOUT.


People in the vicinity of the Court
House say that they were awakened
early last Saturday morning by a
crowd Of more or less intoxicated per-
sons fighting and quarreling in front
of the county buildings, and the out
break continued an hour Where were
the police?
A large force of plumbers and fin
fishers are working on the new school
mouse, and there is every reason to
believe that Contractor Best will be
able to tun the building over to the
Board of Education by September 1st..
1t is going to be very nice building.

The trustees of the Gloucester Coun-
ty Historical Society met in the SOC
iety's new home on Tuesday, to tram
sact routine business. They found
that the expense of renovating the
house will exceed by near 5000 the
amount in hand, and as the society's
only source of income is hearts of
members and friends, it was decided
to lay the situation before the public
and rely on popular response before
creating debt. Or
DR.. 7. E. Parker will acknowledge
all subscriptions to that fund. The
society also needs desk and some
chairs, something on the antique order
preferred. Those having such to do
note, will please communicate with
Mr. w. Harrison Livermore, Miss
Emma Thackara or DIR. Parker of the
House Committee.
AS mighty few city ordinances are
enforced by our fines" We fail to see
why there should be such fuss rais-
ed because the new cattle driving or
dinance was enforced against a He
brew who had a S. bill in his pocket,
who had violated the law by five min
utes.
A good many people would like to
know the quality and quantity of ar
.tesian water ohtainable out of the city
tract of land, near Sewell, and are
surprised that the only source from
which such a supply will be accept
able is a tract admittedly too small in
extent, close to the city, and which
costs bunch of good dollars, while
the other and larger tract is paid for.

Y. NJ. C. A. NOTES.

Cooperation with all the existing
agencies is one of the principles of the
County Y NJ C. A.. This phase of its
work was evident on Thursday when
the County Secretary, Mr.. Henry He'd
ley Smith, spoke at the Casino in AL
cyon Park. He made it clear that one
of the ways to keep the boys on the
farm was to make farm life attractive
to them. The Y. M. C. A. seeks to do
this by conducting agricultural con-
tests throughout the county wherever
the Oranges and Farmers Institutes,
etc, will cooperate. They are help
ing the boys to get a newer and bet
ter concept of farm life. Cards were
distributed at the Changers picnic tell
ing about this work and asking for
those interested to write to the County
office for information This is the one
organization which has the uniting of
all the boys in the county as it's OBJ
jective and deserves the support of
our best citizens.
Y. M. G. A. BASE BALL NOTES
Four teams played Saturday, viz:
North Woodbury. at Pitman and Pauls-
,boro at Clayton.
Pitman defeated North Woodbury.
in very close ten inning game, the
score being 8 to s. This team is be-
ginning to show the effects of the
efforts of Mr.. Oliver Justice. who has
been managing them the last three
or four weeks. He hopes to pull them
into good shape soon The boys ap-
preciate his efforts and are playing a
much better game already as shown
by their showing on Saturday. Pauls-
boro defeated Clayton in a three hour
game, Z to 3. 1t was a hotly contested
game which is not evidenced by the
score Every game from now on will
be hard fought as the margin of win
ming the cup becomes less and less for
the defeated teams Pitman still leads
the League, with Clayton and Pauls-
boro following closely.

ed in the contract for building
our roads.
On this issue the matter went
before the people, and at the
election May 10, 1910, oar posi-
ton a0as endorsed, the tax being
carried by a majority vote OF 24S
to 242 as to numbers, and 1926,
sci to SIT, 1873 as to valuation.
Since the election, Nov. Is.
1911, in discussing the cost of
building roads, under the editori-
Fal heading, Good Roads Cost
$1,000 to $4,000 Per Mile, F" we
said: Those peanut individuals
who imagine that anything like
500 or 5000 per mile will build a
good road are simply way off in
their calculations. 1t
takes from $1,000 to $4,000 per
mile to build a good road, and it
is simply nonsense to think that
! it can be done for anything like
one-third or even one-half of
that amount"
Neither before nor since the
election has the Chronicle ever
made any such incorrect and alb
surd claims as are asserted in the
squib above quoted. Our esti-
mate of $500 per mile cost to the
parish is within $50 or 500 of the
cost of the roads thus far built,
which is not bad for a guess made
two years in advance. And, as
we have AZ miles of roads already
practically completed, with a
contract for Is or 80 additional
miles in sight, it is evidently i'm
possible for us to miss our guess
of 14525 miles fully 1OO," as
our neighbor gravely informs
his readers.

Congressman Wickliffe Killed by q
Train.

Washington, June 11.-Representa-
tive Robert c. Wickliffe, of Louisiana,
one of the most popular of the younger
members of Congress, met instant
death shortly after o'clock Tuesday
morning on the tracks of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, near the north end of
the railroad bridge across the Potomac.
The engineer of the train, south
bound Southern freight, saw the Con-
gresham just before he was struck,
but too late to stop. A great cash
was cut in Mr.. Wickliffe's forehead,
and his right leg was badly broken.
His shoes had been torn from his feet.
1t was found that his watch had stopped
at exactly 9:22 o'clock.
Mr.. Wickliffe was at breakfast with
his wife and sister, Miss Wickliffe. as
usual, Tuesday morning. In leaving
for the capitol it is supposed he decided
to take walk and selected the beauti-
full Potomac Driveway as his route.
He was seen in the vicinity where he
was killed just before the accident.
The theory is that he climbed up the
steep embankment to the railroad track.
unaware of the near approach of the
train.

Judge Blackman a Candidate.
(Town Talk. June H.


In this issue of Town Talk, will be
found the formal announcement OF
Judge w. F. Blackman, as candidate
for the Democratic nomination fol
District Judge for Grant and Rapides
parishes.
Judge Blackman is too well known
to the readers of this paper to require
an introduction to the citizenship OF
this district, at our hands,
The Judge was reared and educated
in Claiborne parish, and in 81, a mere
lad, joined the 18th. La. Confederate
regiment and saw service throughout
the Civil war; He was on Genera
Gray's staff and led the famous charge
against the Union army at the Battle
of Mansfield, and gained a decisive
victory for the Confederate arms.
After the war, the Judge studied
law and was sent to the Senate from
his district, being one of the few Demo
cratic Senators in that body. When
his term was over, he moved to Rap
ides to practice law and cast his lot
with her people. Three years there
after he was honored by the Democra-
cy by an election to the District Judge
ship, and except, perhaps, the eight
years from 1892 to 1900, when he serv-
ed upon the bench of the Court of Ap-
peals, he has been District Judge. In
1900 the Court of Appeals was abol-
ished, and he was then elected to the
District Bench. Since then he has
had no opposition and each term has
been reelected.
In offering for reelection, the Judge
stands upon his years of service to the
people and his record on the bench.
AS learned, fair and impartial jurist.
no one in the State stands higher, for
his decisions always stand the test and
are affirmed by the appellate courts.
The Judge, besides being an honest,
upright, and impartial Judge, and hav-
ing an irreproachable personal charac-
ter, is jovial and kind hearted, and the
humblest and poorest one can talk with
him. His sentences in criminal cases.
where consistent with his duty, have
always been tempered with mercy.
His friends are confined to no class
or political faction. Having spent the
best portion of his life in the service
OF the people upon the bench which
ne has honored, and having served
the district with marked distinction
among the judges of the State, his
friends think he should be rewarded
for his services and retained upon the
bench.

Commissions for New Officials Received

The commissions for the newly elect
ed officials of Grant parish were re-
ceived on the evening of June 10th, by
Clerk of Court j. j. O'Quinn, and are
being distributed to the various parties
as occasion may occur. Thus far we
understand only two or three of the
newly elected officers have qualified,
but in few days we can look for a
general change, by the various magis-
trates, constables, police jurors, and
other parish officials qualifying and
taking possession of their offices.

Working on Reapportionment Act.

Representative Butler, of Terrebonne
parish, has introduced a congressional
reapportionment act in the Legislature,
the first one presented during this ses-
sion. The fourth district is changed
by taking out Winn, Sabine n d
Natchitoches, and takes in Claiborne
and Lincoln. The new eighth district
is composed of the parishes of Avoy-
Giles, LaSalle, Rapides, Vernon, Sa-
bine Natchitoches, VIM and Grant.
This puts Aswell in the new district,
and gives him several parishes in which
he showed great strength during the
gubernatorial campaign.
