flushing Il Fusilade of Death.
There Is a story which h0s

There Is story which has It's
scene laid ur th" claaa OF the irst
bloody day 81 the hattie OF FrcdQr-
icNshurg, whcn hundreds o. Union
wounded were left dying on the field
and the road ascending Marye's
Heights. All night and most of the
next day the open space was swept
by artillery OF both the opposing
lines, and no one could venture to
the sufferers relief. All the tim
their agonized cries went up for
"water! water!" But there was no
one to'help them, and the roar Of the
guns mocked their distress.
At last one brave fellow behind
the stone ramparts, where the Sou
thern forces lay, could stand it no
longer. He was a sergeant in a
South Carolina regiment, named
Richard Kirkland. In the afternoon
he hurried to Gen. Kershaw's head
quarters and begged permission to
go and give water to the sufferers.
DO you know that as soon as you
show yourself to the enemy you will
be shot?" asked the admirng gene
raj.
Eyes, sir, I know" replied Kirk
land, "but to carry a little comfort
to those poor fellows am willing to
risk it."
The general hesitated, but finally
said: kirkland, it is sending you
to your death, but l cannot oppose
such motive as yours For the
sake Of it l hope God will protect
you. Go!"
Furnished with supply of water
the brave sergeant stepped over the
wall and began his work Of mercy.
Wondering eyes watched him as he
knelt by the nearest sufferer, ten
derly raising his head, and held the
cooling water to his lips.
Before his first service to the suf-
ferers was finished every soldier in
the Union line understood the mis-
sion OF the noble soldier in grey and
not shot was fired An hour and
half he stayed on that terrible field
Of death, giving drink to the thirsty
and dying, strengthening their cramp-
ed and mangled limbs, pilowing
their heads on their knapsacks and
spreading their army coats and
blankets over them as mother
would cover her child, and all the
while he was so engaged the fusilade
Of death was hushed.

FIRST PURE FOOD LABELS.
Found in Ruins of King Ahab's Pal
ace and Are 5000 Years Old.
(Baker's. Weekly.)

The first pure food labels in his
tory, and the first instance on record
OF keeping wines in government
warehouse under seal, have come to
light. with the discovery by Prof
George A. Reisner, OF Harvard, of
the earliest specimens of Hebrew
writings In the excavations Of the
ancient city of Samaria in Palestine.
Dating back to the period Of King
Ahab, fully 900 B. c., these inscrip-
tions are to be considered one Of the
greatest finds Of the Harvard Pales-
tine expedition.
The Importance Of these new in
scriptions to the archaeologists Is
such that they promise to bring about
a revision o: scientific opinion as to
the form of early Hebrew writings,
and Will set 1T rest doubts that have
been raised for score of years as to
how early the scribes used the Phoe-
nician letters from which the alpha
bet was derived.
Prof. David G. Lyon, head Of the
Harvard Semitic museum, pronoun-
ces these Inscriptions to bo the ear
liest specimens Of Hebrew writings
known and "the first Palestine re-
cords of this nature to be found"
These inscriptions, which were ex-
cavated, are labels which were en-
ployed as seals on wine and oil Jars
They mention the years in which the
wine was laid down in the cellars Of
the palace storehouje and they state
the vineyard from which the wine
came. On the oil jars the labels run,
"A jar Of pure OIL" with the mention
Of the district from which the oil
came.
These labels, about seventy-flve in
numebr, have been dug up in the
ruins Of the storehouses attached to
the palace Of King Ahab some 5000
years ago, and the names Of the own
ers as given indicate that not only
the king himself, but other men,
stored their wines and oils there.
Professor Lyons says: "The script
In which they are written Is the Phoe-
nician, which was widely current in
antiquity. 1t Is very different from
the so-called square characters in
which the existing Hebrew manu-
scripts Of the Bibleare written, dating
far ahead Of that time. The inscrip-
tiops are written IN ink with a reed
pen in an easy, flowing hand and
show a pleasing contrast to the stiff
form Of Phoenician' inscriptions cut
in stone"

An Electric Light Overcharge.

A judgment was rendered by
Judge Sutherlin yesterday against
the Shreveport Gas, Electric Light
and Power Company for an over
charge, approximately of $4,000, in
which the Carter-Allen Jewelry
Company is the plaintiff. The over
charge was based on a meter which,
as remarked by Judge Sutherlin on
the evidence submitted was a "crazy
meter" in that it registered more
electricity than was being used 1t
would seem that the company was
not aware of the condition Of the
meter.

Hon. John MI. Parker.

The Hon. John M. Parker, th'
sanity Good Government leader o
Louisiana, is out in the statement il
which he states the reason he is go
ing to support Roosevelt and TIN
slab-off party is that Roosevelt ha
been friend of the South. Tha
Roosevelt believes that the interest
that have been built up by the pro
tective system, such as sugar. shoul'
receive consideration. Colonel Park
er and his North Louisiana follow
ing have come to the parting of tn
ways. Few if any OF the North Louis
lana Democrats will follow MI

The Fertilizer and FeedstuR Inspec
tiOn.


1t has been announced from Baton
Rouge that the Bruner-Dupuy COM
bination, assisted by a senatorial
clique of New Orleans, have defeat
ed the bill providing the inspection
of fertilizers and feedstuff.
This measure was suggested in
the interest of those who should be
protected from deception. 1t was
styled as IAN administration meas
ure" from which, may be drawn the
implication that as it had the en-
dorsement of the administration it
should have been approved.
The antagonism TO the bill, it
would seem, was intensified by re-
sentiment on the part of the New
Orleans senatorial clique, to the
Fontenot proposal to investigate the
affairs of New Orleans. If this view
be correct, the apprehension by the
New Orleans clique to an investiga-
tion is the best reason why such an
inquiry is desired and should be
made fairly and fearlessly.
The success of the Bruner-Dupuy
combination in defeating the bill
providing this inspection of fertili-
zers and feedstuff may be brief. The
importance of this measure with
others may lead the Governor tf
call an extra session. In that event
the responsibility will be placed
where Il will not be possible for
Sinking or the evasion of duty.

THIRD PARTY IN LOUISIANA.
1t Will Not Create Ripple in the
State-A Political DelusiOn.

The New Orleans States says: Ir
issuing his call for the third party
convention Colone! Roosevelt cites
the fact that it is signed by John M.
Parker, "a prominent cotton grower
of Louisiana, who believes the new
party can bring about social and
industrial revolution" as evidence
of its broad national character.
If, however, the colonel has any
idea that, because prominent
Louisianian like Mr.. Parker has
Joined the new party, it is to make
any stir in this neck of the woods
he is very greatly deluded. The
Roosevelt movement will not create
ripple here. The Baltimore result
has completely tlattened it out.
Under certain conditions Mr..
Roosevelt might have pOlled not
inconsiderable vote in Louisiana.
If, for instance, he had been sue
cessful in bIufling the Taft crew
from their steam roller and snatched
the regular nomination from the
Chicago convention and the Balti-
more convention had then made the
blunder of choosing Mr.. Clark or Mr..
Underwood as its standard bearer,
or if, following his failure at Chi
cago, the Democrats had taken
either of these candidates or an OBJ
scure outsider, Mr.. Roosevelt would
have been able to make strong ap-
peal to the disappointed elements in
Louisiana.
He might have counted on serious
defections among people who be
lieve that Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Under
wood are real enemies of the inter
ests of Louisiana. He might have
capitalized his attitude on the river
problem. He might have pleaded
with success his service to the State
IN the year of the yellow fever epi-
demic.
But the Wilson victory has
changed the whole political land
scape of Louisiana from the stand
point of the Roosevelt movement,
just as it has removed the necessity
for the third party in many of the
close states of the Union.
The defeat of Mr.. Clark and Mr..
Underwood, the adoption of a tariff
plank that does not single out Louis
lana industries for punishment and
the nomination of the Governor OF
New Jersey on broadly progressive
platform have had an extraordinary
effect in uniting the Democracy OF
in enthusiastic support OF
the Democratic candidate.
1t has taken the heart out OF the
who are loyal to Mr..
Taft. 1t has made Roosevelt men as
scarce as hens teeth in this end OF
the country.
The colonel has obtained to his
call the signatures of two respect
able gentlemen of Louisiana who
are idolatrous worshippers at his
shrine; but they will not be able to
lead corporal's guard to his sup
port.
In the last campaign the Republi-
cans, despite the most extraordinary
efforts, were unable to poll ten pei
cent of the vote of the State. The
present Legislature, in order to per
nit them to maintain their status as
a party, has now before it a bill that
cuts that percentage in
two.
It is not by any means certain that
Mr.. Taft, who now represents the
party, will be able to
reach that humble total. 1t is abso
Iutely certain that Mr.. Roosevelt can
not do so.

eous dissatisfaction, but there is
one time in the year when altogeth.
er Worthily a man may thank God
Tor what he is. This is on Thanks
giving Day, when one is expected to
review his life and circumstances to
find therein cause and occasion for
thanksgiving for what he has and is.
other seasons are given with
view to self-examination and repent
ance. The Jew has Yom Kippur.
the Roman Catholic, Easter confess
sion; the Protestant the ante-com-
munion hour. These are for repent.
ance. But Thanksgiving is for re.
1olcing. The little hour is given a

however harassed and beset, has
many compensations and alleviations.
