JUDGE AND CLERK
CLASH OVER SUITS

i CROWLEY, La. Jan. Sunless
Clerk of Court G.. e. Fontenot changes
his mind or is forced to change his
procedure it will cost II. Storey ano
p. S. p Pugh $4,000 or more to push
the prosecution of upward of 500 suits
filed in the Office of the clerk of the
court to purge tine registration lists
of an equal number of alleged illegal
voters.
The clerk insists that the usual Zee
of $40 per suit should accompany each
case The incident may also develop
a clash between the clerk and the court,
Judge William Campbell, who has or
dered that the suits be filed and fees
remitted One hundred and thirty of
these suits were offered Saturday I'm
accompanied by fees, and filing was re-
fused.
MY deputy has advised me that he
refused TO file these suits because they
were not accompanied by the usual sic
Fee" said Clerk Fontenot yesterday.
His action was proper under the cir
cumstances, although Judge Campbell
has ordered the suits filed without cost
to the petitioners. Unless my attorneys
file them without the fees or the SUI
preme court directs me to act in accord
ance with the instructions of the dis,
trict Judge"
Judge Pugh, one of the petitioners,
stated that action seeking a writ of
mandamus to force the clerk to- COM
ply with the courts instructions would
be applied for next Tuesday.

high rank would have saved the city if
possible but the army was deeply i'm
bued with the feeling that, as South
Carolina had begun the war, she must
suffer stern retribution. There was
nothing more remarkable in this cam
paign than the entire change in the
treatment Of private property after we
entered North Carolina. The men all
knew where the state line was. and
their voluntary conduct in this regard
was of itself evidence as to how the
burning of Columbia came about.
To which the News and Courier then
said:
This is to the point, and cuts through
General Sherman's evasions. Eeven Gen
eral Hazen has not told all the truth,
however. There is no more question
that the burning of Columbia was or
dered than that it was burned. The citi-
zens of Columbia were informed by the
soldiers that the torch would be applied
when the rockets went up General
Hazen testifes that fire was set in more
than 100 places. 1t is idle to say that
the burning could have been prevented.
The fire was stopped easily enough when
General Shermans evasions. Even Cen
the unmanageable troops were as doeile
as lambs as soon as tn word was
given"

man was killed, another fatally injured
and two others seriously hurt in Pc
cullar wreck OF a three-car train on
the Long Island railroad here late last
night.
The train was loaded with milk for

struck and wrecked an empty passen-
ger car. then demolished strong bump
er and finally ploughed of at an angle
through railroad yard fence, strikinA
taxicab and smashing it to pieces and
then came to stop against the front
of a building occupied by L. f..
Schwencke. a real estate dealer. The
gas tank OF the engine exploded with
a force which sent tons of milk in the
cars up in a geyser which spread for
more shan 500 yards.
Conductor Harry Limerman. who
jumped from the train, was killed.
Thomas r. Mayk, a brakeman, suffered
fractured skull.

Oyster Bay is Again
The Storm Center

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, Jan. g.
A squad of war correspondents
who have once again. after a year Of
comparative rest. set up camp in
oyster Bay, heard that Colonel
Roosevelt was chopping down trees
about Sycamore THiu this morning.
1t was said the biting cold made lit
tie impression on the former presi-
dent and when he wasn't choppins
down big trees in the little Long Is
land forest, he was showing other
men how to WELD the axe with most
effect.
The colonel sent down word that
he would have his customary moth
ing to say" today. No statement
OF any sort as to the former presi-
dents prospective or possible poIiti-
cal activities were forth coming.
With the spotlight once again glipl-
mering on Oyster Bay. the town is
perking up to achieve it's wonted
prominence. It settled into rest a
year or more ago after the colonel
completed his campaign in behalf OF
Henry L. Stimson. gubernatorial cam
didate. At that time the colonel
was permitted to retire in quiet to
his home but now, growing out of
recent political developments, oyster
Bay and Sycamore Hill get front
places in the picture and the Roose-
Welt home is almost in a state Of
seige.

CAUCUS OF DEMOCRATS
PROVES UNSATISFACTORY
By RALPH sMITH.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The Demo-
cratic caucus Saturday was far from sat-
isfsctory in its results to the rank and
file of the party in the house of repre-
sentatives. Few, if any, of the Georgians
who attended thecaucus, were pleased
with the division to keep a record vote
Of caucus proceedings and open this rec
ord to the public. 1t is characterized as
a weak, pernicious subterfuge for the
open caucus, as advocated by William
Jennings Bryan.
1t is stated by several members that
they will disregard the action of future
caucuses unless the caucus action coin
cides with their views on the questions
considered.
cit is unfair that our votes in eau
Gus should be made public when we have
no opportunity OF explaining them, =
said a Georgian tonight. IF vote for
or against a proposition in the caucus
will certainly keep my record straight by
voting the same way in the house, re-

TOWNSVILLE FARMERS
ANXIOUS FOR SUNSHINE

z BROWNSVILLE. Ca. Jan. S.-Thomas-
Vile people. and indeed everybody in
this section is rejoicing to see the sun
shine once more after a long continued
spell of rainy weather which followed so
closely upon the one Of the preceding
week that it will take some time for the
to dry off. 1t had been so long since
rains like those of the past week or two
had fallen in this part Of the country
that most people had forgotten how it
seemed to have it come day after day.
1t is said to have been needed, how
ever, to fill up the streams around the
county which had been dry for so long
and put water in the wells where there
had been none for many day.
The farmers are anxious that there
will be no repetition Of it soon as the
ground is too wet for ploughing and it
is time for them to be getting in trim for
their spring planting.

A WISE WRITER'S WORDS ON wo1E-
ANS HEALTH.

/ claim for woman, as / do for men,
such condition of living as shall be IA
vorable to the pride and service of her
bodily powers, to the Improvement on
her health, to the growth and proper
culture Of her intellectual faculties ana
to such perfection of her character as
will enable her all the better to main
tain a distinct and well recognized per-
sonality. AS things are, the conditions
of living of women are unfavorable to
the use and service Of her bodily pow
ers. BY our customs and etiquette, as
well as by our social forms, she is COM
PEELED to live so as to violate physsc
logical laws if she properly perform her
domestic and social duties. Health Is
a great blessing, sickness great mis-
fortune. Women are entitled to health.
AS daughter, wife, mother and sister
she has very important relations to sus-
tain as well as essential and fundamen-
tai relations to society. To fulfil, these
is her duty, but duties and rights are
reciprocal and if she is bound to act
her part well, society is bound to see
she has means at her command where
by her part may be well sustained.
she cannot afford to lose her health, as
the legitimate consequence of her efrorr
to fulfil her duties. 1t is fact that
neither you nor can get away; that q
majority of our women lack good
health. Little girls are very delicate;
grown up girls are ailing; mature wom-
en- are, many of them, sick; physicians
say that a large portion of their prac-
tice depends> upon women, that moES
of them than men are chronically sick.
Having to submit to the confinement
and restraint which home life imposes,
they become i'll in health from causes
Iegitimately productive, which lie OUT
side of any constitutional tendencies in
them.
I wish all our Semi-WeelSly readers
would study this ARTICLE closely. We
are living in an age of weakly women.
our girl children are very seldom yig-
orous and stout. What they mean 10
the race I will not explain here.
But / will say that very delicate ana
weakly women are a burden to them
selves, as we'll as to their families.

THE BURNING OF COLUMBIA.
Every veritable fact of history should
be fully authenticated. The story of the
burning of Columbia, at the close of the
year 1864, has been often narrated, but
General Hazen, who was one of the
most distinguished generals of the fed
eral army wrote of the incident in his
published book and he is an Invaluable
Witness and what he said or wrote was
not tinged or tainted with any love for
the south or South Carolina
1t is now generally conceded that the
Federal troops were exceedingly bitter
toward South Carolina, and that vandaI
torches laid the city low, and turned
prosperity into poverty along with
ashes
Let us have truth in history, for no
history is worthy of the name that goes
around the truth for any reason what
soever
WHO BURNED COLUMBIA?
In his Narrative of Military Service"
General Hazen, tells WAe truth in part
concerning the burning of Columbia:
South Carolina had fired the first gun
and even the smallest drummer boy
seemed determined to get even This
feeling was not confined to the army
nor even to the north. Often have I
heard Georgians say;a. ''Why don't you
so over to South Carolina and serve
them the same way? They started it,
have never doubted that Columbia was
deliberately set on fire in more than a
hundred places. No one ordered it and
no one could stop it. The officers of

First" Governor Stubs continued.
because the imperative need OF our
country for the next four years is
president who believes in his heart in
the policies advocated by Lincoln and
no has the courage of his convictions.
Second, because Colonel Roosevelt,
more than any other man. is response
bic for the nationwide forward move
ment in the direction of a govern
ment administered honestly and vigor-
ously, without fear or favor. for rich,
poor. high. low. black and white.
Colonel Roosevelt is not only the
logical candidate for president at this
time, but he is the only one who is
sure to win. He can carry the New
England states. New York. PennsyI-
vania and Ohio, and his majority
throughout the middle west and Pa
cific states viii be overwhelming. He
would not only carry the full Repub-
Iican vote in Kansas If nominated,
but he would receive a large share
OF progressive Democratic votes.
''ersonally, am very fond OF Sem
ator LaFollette and regard him aPs a
great CONSTITUTIONAL statesman, but
have not encouraged any general
movement for him in Kansas. am
fully convinced that Colonel Roose-
welt is the only man who can be de-
pended upon to win. and thereby
save the country from four years OF
uncertain POLITICAL experiments, which
may involve the wreck and ruin Of
those great national politicies assoc
ciated with his name.
ITO remove Senator LaFollette at
this time from the progressive
leadership OF the senate would be TO
take a great factor for good out of
that body and weaken the common

MACON DEPOT AGENT
is ROBBED OF $1,000

MACON, Ca, Jan. s.-'Look here,
said one of two men for whom Union
Station Agent P. Fl. Smith was looking
up rates in an interval between trains
last night Smith turned to the muz-
zle of a revolver and the next minute
he was bound and gagged while one OF
the pair went through the station safe
securing between $1,000 and $4,000 in
paper money. They made clean get
away and it was 40 minutes before a
station Waterman found Smith.
The hold-up occurred at sos o'clock
when there was a lull between trains.
Smith was checking up his receipts
when the two came into the Office
through side door, a common occur
renee outside of rush hours. The pis-
toll was pulled while Smiths back was
turned. He was bound to railing.
Two sacks containing about $500 In
silver were left by the robbers.
