Parker Chairman
Of Mass Meeting
on Friday Night,
Called to Protest Against
Action of Governor in
Supcrseding Adams.

Defense of District Attorney
Adams as an honest official, who
was trying to do his full duty,
and criticism of Governor San.
ders for taking the prosecution
of the elections cases out of his
hands, were fea lures of a state.
ment by John M. Parker Friday
in connection with a meeting OF
protest called to take place at the
Winter Garden Friday night.
District Attorney Adams, .
said Mr.. Parker, has conducted
the affairs of his Office honestly
and without partisanship. In
taking out of his hands the prose
cution OF those who are asccused
of having violated the primary
laws, Governor Sanders has been
guilty OF the most Infamous act
since the Durell midnight order.
The Good Government League
has been fighting for honest
elections. A year ago Mr..
Adams promised, as district at
torney, that he would do his best
to aid in the movement. Had
Mr.. Adams been u partisan,
Governor Sanders would have
had some excuse for his action.
But Mr.. Adams was nos a
partisan. He had proved him
self only an honest official, and
the Governor, therefore, in re.
moving him from the election
cases was guilty of al act wholly
unwarranted and that has arous.
ed the people to Indignation.
Only Purpose Was to Secure an
Honest Election,
Concerning the charges that
the league has brought against
certain voters, alleging that they
illegally received assistance at the
polls. Mr.. Parker said:
We had no purpose in view
other than to make the election
an TOMBSTONE. Full publicity to
our intentions was given before
the primary. We made it 1lain
that we did not seek to deprive
any mar of his right to vote.
Our efforts were directed toward
preventing any one, qualified
under the educational clause,

The puppy that is responsible
for the damage to the Frazier

station platform one night about
three weeks ago by Mr.. Frazier

marsh, in Iberia parish, has been
purchased by Mrs. Russell Sage
and others. and is to be donated
to the United States government
for the purpose of establishing q
game preserve. Part of the
purchase price has been paid and
the titles to the property are
being examined.
1t is reported that former
President Roosevelt is also inter
rested in the project.
The purchase price, which has
not been made known, amounts
to several hundred Thousand
dollars, it is said. The Realty
Investment Company of this city
engineered the deal, while MIR,
McILhenpy of Avery Island. a
member of tile family of that
name which owns extensive salt
mines in Iberia parish, acted. as
the agent for Mrs SAGE and her
associates.
Marsh Island is situated in
Vermillion Bay, bounded on
either side by East and West
Cote Blanche Bays, and on the
south by the Gulf of Mexico.
While the island is low and
marshy, most of it is fresh water
marsh, and it is only when the
Gulf backs up that the salt water
covers any considerable part of
it. Part of the island is fairly
high land, and for years it has
been used as a grazing ground
for cattle, which have been al,
lowed to. roam at will on the
property.
There Is probably no part of
Louisiana, or in fact any part of
the United States wich is better

for which it is SAID that pur.

back as can be remembered for

Then why should you buy your farming

RIVER TRANSPORTATION

Pine Bluff enjoys the distinction of being the point in Arkansas on which freight rates are based for river and rail points. This city is recognized y railway transportation interests as head of navigation on the Arkansas river. All rail rates for river and rail points are based on the Pine Bluff rate. It is fact well known to all transportation interests, that the To- cation of city on river enables that point to obtain a better freight rate than an inland point. In 1S76-77-7S- 79-8O, there were two regular Mem phis, Pine Bluff and Little Rock pack cts, each making weekly trips, carry ing 800 to 150O bales cotton per trip and 200 to 400 tons miscellaneous freight on return, 50 to 100 passengers per trip both ways. There were also two or three New Orleans packets dur ing cotton season Steamer Exporter

 The st. Louis Iron Mountain < Southeln& Railway, q part Jf lte Mls- sour: Pacific system comprising 7Z36 miles of track. serving ten of the best states in the middle west and the rich tMississippi River Valley, is putting forth every effort to give the state of Arkansas, the county of Jefferson, and the cf y of Pine Bluff every facility for handling of their business. The conduct of ifs affairs is based on broad gauged liberal minded lines. This company recognizes the fact that it's success is contingent on the success of the people and territory it serves and is always willing and anxious to lend it's aid 70 foster or further any project or matter that will better busi- ness conditions or upbuld this com munity.
 Vast amounts of money are being the betterment of it's track, shops, sta tions and other property within this state. Much money is also being spent advert sing the resources of the state and in drawing immigration this way. IHor the pas, year a considerable por- tion of the effort has been directed toward this section in particular.
 Along with this has gone an equally strenuous effort to induce location of more industries ill the state. The eyes of .he couAtry are now turned on Arkansaa and substantial results are bound to follow this effort. No doubt but what Jefferson County will receive her full share of the benefits that will result.
 Of total of 75 counties within the i4sbordom aof this grand old state, this company traverses AS, or approximate H ytwo thirds of the entire state. We l aeel safe in saying that even a greater l proportion of her population is served than her area. Along the lines of this

There is no good reason why Unit state should not have half dozen Grand Rapids and South Bends. The coal fields, lead and zinc mines, glass l and Eeauxite deposits contain 1 lntoly wealth, the development l of which hardly start has beer made. This company as stated be

FADS AND FASHIONS

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The displays
IN the large shops are beginning TO
show more clearly the trend of fashion
for autumn and now give a fairly good
idea of the styles which will probably
be worn during the coming season
The new pleated skirts, while showing
increased measurement, still come
within the observation-disclosures limit
A variety of pleats is shown. the &C
Gordon and machine pleated styles be-
ing used in many of the smartest mod
els. while the shallow side pleats and
fatty pressed box pIeats are other
styles coming in for a large share of
favor.
The machine pleats are so shallow
and fatty pressed that they do not fly
&c any extent, and for this reason they
require no staying underneath. With
the side and box pleats ii is necessary
10 have tapes fastened 10 the pleats at
intervals os that the straight line will
be retained
Pleats are used for the section be-
low the knees, the top having pan
niers and tunics. Pleats are also used
for whole skirts. Groups of pleats are
inserted at intervals around the skirt
bottom, and pleated panels are placed
at the side, back or front There is no
section of the skirt in which pleats

So declares Mrs. Emily Noble, just
from India, to lecture us occidentals
! on the art of breathing.
Since we have stood for lecturing
on every other conceivable subject
and from every possible source, it is
quite likely that we will patiently
listen to the Hindu ideas of rhythmic
respiration"
1t has generally been supposed that
our breathing is one thing which
lists stoutly declare that at that re-
mote period when plant life was at
the point of evolving into something

But in the countless stages of evolu

has become second nature, automatic

when awake.
Then when you lie down to sleep,

turn into sweet dreams that will keep

Oh! how wonderful to see
Death and Life in conflict meet!
Life hath won the victory,
Trodden Death beneath it's feet,
Even as the Scripture shows,
He hath conquered all our foes
Death was slain, but Jesus rose!
So we keep the feast today
With heart JOY and full delight;
Here His beams of merry play,
Christ has risen upon our night
His grace doth sweetly send,
While our hearts before Him bend
