A. W. Stewart for School Director

A. w. Stewart for School Director.
The Chronicle this week is au-
thorized to announce Mr.. A. w.
Stewart as a candidate for School
Director for ward two, subject
to the Democratic primary cleo
ton on Sept. 3. Mr.. Stewart has
made an exceptionally active and
valuable member of the school
board, and his qualifications and
interest as a representative for
the ward is so well known that
it is not necessary for us to recite
them. If he is reelected he can
be relied upon in the future as in
the past to do his best in the in
terest of the whole people.

Judge Ben p. Edwards Should be Elect
ed q Member of the Court of
Appeals.
THE REASONS:

8E<AoONos
He is strictly moral man, q good
Judge. He has served two terms as
District Judge, and his record will COM
pare favorably with any Judge in the
State.
In the eight years he has had but
few cases reversed, less than any other
District Judge with as large docket as
he has had.
He believes that every man should
have justice and square deal; that
all cases should have due and careful
consideration; and that all cases should
be decided at the earliest possible mo-
ment-
That opinions of the court should be
preserved, and in view of this, that the
opinions should be at least written with
pen and ink and in plain hand, if not
typewriter.
Judge Edwards was elected member
of the Court of Appeals once in 1904,
but the Amendment creating the Cir
cult Court failed to pass, for the rea-
son that the City of New Orleans voted
against it. He was elected by the peo-
| pie of his district, and did not get to
serve.
He is now asking the people of the
district to elecct him again that he may
serve them. ADV.

Letter from Mr.. Hart.
Bentley, La, Aug. II, 1912.

Bentley, La, Aug. IL, lSlz
Editor Colfnr Chronicle:
note your head lines over my letter
of the 14th inst. from Baton Rouge re-
questing our people for personal letters
expressing their views on the proposed
new system of taxatson reads as follows:
"Mr. Hart Has Not Considered the
Proposals of the Tax Commission. 7"
This, fear, conveys the wrong impress
sion, for the facts are, the more in
vestigate and consider this proposition
the more mixed l get over it. believe
it would be a good thing for few years
for Grant parish, but do not believe
it will be the best after eight years,
and have figured the past three years,
and find that our loss on timber valua-
ton has averaged about a quarter of
million dollars each year. This. at the
present rate of reduction, will entirely
be exhausted in 1918, and more than
one fourth of our total assessments will
have been cut off in this way. and, if
the railways and banks and all public
service corporations are taken away
from the parish, this will take more
than one-fourth more, and We will have
left less than half of the present tax
able values to run our parish, keep up
our schools, and build our roads. This
is what have figured out. However,
we are informed that our parish will
continue to grow, and something will
take the place of our loss on timber,
and that the State gives as the six mill
tax it now takes, and by this the figures
show we would gain over fifteen thou
sand dollars each year by the new sys-
tenn. However, the figures are taken
from the present assessment rolls, and
nothing is allowed for the decrease
caused by the timber we cut each year.
The tax rolls show that there are q, GIG
acres less timber in Grant parish than
there was in 1911, and there now remains
on our tax rolls the small acreage Of
sc, 555 for the year 1912, assessed at q
valuation of 81, O57, 80 This would in
dictate that in four years we will moi
have any timber left. While this il
true, it is fact the records will show
that our total assessed valuation has in
creased as follows:
Total assessments for 1910. 81, 04O, 23s
Total assessments for 1911 81, 091, 19l
Total assessments for 1912. .A, 388, 961
Just how this has been brought about
is the question would like to know be.
fore vote on this tax proposition. II
our parish is actually making improve
ment to this extent, the timber losses
are overcome by other improvements
In that event might vote for the new
system, but if this supposed Increase is
a product Of our equalization board, ant
the actual improvements have not taker
place, then i should vote against ths
proposed new system. l will do my
best, and should my vote not please al
of our people it will be no more than
expect. However, it will be cast, as
see it, in the interest of Grant parish.
Very truly yours, 7. O. HART.

An Address to the Voters of Ward 2.

An Address to the Voters of Ward z.
To My Friends and All Democratic Vo-
ters Of Ward TtDo:
In making my announcement
as a candidate for reelection as
school director for ward two, l
do so with a full realization and
appreciation of what the good
people of Grant parish, and es-
pecially ward two, have done for
me in the past, and | embrace
this opportunity to thank you sim
cerely for the confidence you have
reposed in me.
At your solicitation four years
ago | submitted my claims for
your kind consideration, and was
elected to the position | now hold
without opposition; and, at your
solicitation again, / finally decid-

ing that, in a measure at least,
if reelected, l would have the
pleasure of seeing the fruits of
my labor as your school director,
as has been the case during the
past four wears.
1t has been frequently said
that no parish in the State has
made the rapid educational prog
ress that Grant parish has made
during the past few years. AS
to what part / have played in this
progressive movement, | shall
leave you to be the judge.
AS to the statement that 1 am
'only here few days two or
three times during the year, "
that is a mistake, as you know,
my friends. At no time am
away from the parish longer than
three or four weeks, and fire.
quently | spend a week or ten
days at home, and | am always
in touch with what is going on in
the parish, and am always pres
ent at every important meeting
| of the parish school board, to as
sist my colaborers in bringing
about more ideal conditions in
the parish, and to safeguard the
interest of the boys and girls of
my ward.
Most all of my life has been
spent in Grant and ward two.
Some of my best friends and
strongest supporters in elections
gone by have known me from
boyhood. You know whether OF
not merit your support for school
director of this ward and parish,
and, if you see fit to re-elect me
as your school director from this
ward, or as a member of the par.
ish school board for the ensuing
four years, / shall, as in the past,
continue to labor earnestly fol
the cause of education through.

Pollock, La, Aug. II, 1912.
Editor Coltax Chronicle:
Please allow me a little space
in your valuable paper to say a
word in favor of a worthy man,
who is now a member of our
school board, and is willing to
serve us again if we say so at the
Democratic primary. Mr.. A. w.
Stewart has done more for his
home school, ! think may truth
fully say, than any other two
men in Pollotk. He has done all
he could to raise the scoools to
their present high standard. He
has helped with his counsel and
advice to establish a cash basis.
We may boast that Grant parish
pays her teachers cash when the
month is out, and reasonable if
not the highest salaries of any
parish. Mr.. Stewart has had
and still has children in the
Grant parish schools. and he has
the interest of Grant parish child
| rem at heart. He has influence
with the board, and | know from
long experience that he is an hon.
est, Conscientious man. Now,
friends, in conclusion, let me say
don't fail to call him to the mark
again on the Sd of September
when you put in your ballot.
know it has been said he is away
and only comes home once in .
while. This makes very little
difference since he is on hand
when the board meets, and knows
what the people need and how
to get it. There is not a man in
ward two who can and will make
a better member of the school
board. G. w. CHRISTIAN.

V. A. Randall, of Texas Ridge,
was a visitor in this city Saturday,
and while here called on the editor.
In speaking of the cream station at
this place. he says. he hopes the
farmers will take enough interest
in it to make it worth the while of
some one to start the route. MI.
Randall figures like a good sensible
farmer should hat the time wasted
in making butter could be put to a
more profitable work on the farm, if
it was so the farmer could sell his
cream.

ask her to save all the empty cans.
You will find them very useful in the

Melt the tops and bottoms OF and
tie a string around the remaining coils
Of tin to keep them In shape. They
will be handy to use In place of iats.
Place a dozen or more of these cans
filed with soil on a board or In a shall
low box in the window and plant
melon and cucumber seeds in them.
When the weather permits the hills
are prepared and the can with the
growing plant set out. then the string
is cut and the can relaxes. leaving
the dirt with the plants In the ground
without SO much as breaking u root.
The can Is her removed and used
