Just Like it is In Jennings.

The following story, for the truth O.
when, however, We are not prepared
to vouch, was recently told, in whici
a Jennings man found things ditTeren,
IN the great beyond from his expecta
tons.
1t is said that Jennings man died
and his Shade assembled to the pearly
gate, where ST. Peter asked rim whC
ne was. The spirit replied that ht
was Nh Biank from Jennings. St.
Peter replied that there was 30 use
OF looking for his name on the re9ister
as Jennings was not on his list.
Calling bell boy the good keeper OF
the gate sent the wandering spirit to
the realms where his Satanic MAJESTY
is supposed to rule. The Devil met
blm at the gate and upon learning
his name and where he was from
welcomed him with open arms, ex-
claiming, there is no use looking for
his name, they. are all our people up
there"
After wandering about the Internal
regions for some time, he remarked
to a chance acquaintance, 81 always
thought Hi was an awful bad place
to be in," to which remark his com.
panion replied: "Well, is it not bad
enOughY' 70 this the Shade replied.
"Why | would not call this bad it is
just about like it is in Jennings, and
or course am used to that"

Like q crippled duck that has but
one leg to hop upon. Jennings keeps
paradiug her wonderful, although
forceN generosity, in Offering her
Sl4, 900 city hall as a court house for
the new parish of jefferson DAYS for
the next ten wears. As we have shown
before the official acts Of the jennings
city officials, have been Over-ruled in
the past and there is little reason to
doubt that they would be again in this
Instance. No one thinks for mo-
ment that Jefferson Davis parish,
which is by all odds the richest and
most prosperous of the new parishes
carved ont of Calcasieu would be
content to run along for the next ten
years transacting their parish bust
ness in building with no more con-
Veniences than the Jennings town hall
has, even should some succeeding city
council not repeal the recent ordn-
ance granting the use of it. And
everybody knows that Jennings would
be the first one to holler for work to
be begun on the new court house.
Mr.. Voters, be We not deceives by the
fair promises Jennings, in her ad-
versity, is making. Remember, when
she thought she was in the majority
she refused, as far as she could,
either to donate the site for the court
house, or to supply Accommodations
for the parish officials for period of
but THREE wears. Her present offer
saVors altogether too much of al
death-bed repentance to be taken
seriously.

The fact still remains that Welsh is in
the center of the parish. That she is
81 live, progressive energetic town.
That she has more miles of sidewalk
that is paid for in MONEY than Jen-
nings. That she has erected more
brick buildings within the past three
years twice over than Jennings has.
That she is in easv driving distance
of practically every point in the
parish, thing that cannot possibly
be said OF Jennings. That Welsh
has as good schools as are 70 be
found in the state, outside Of two or
three of the largest cities. That she
has absolutely as good railroad fla.
cilities as any town in the parish.
That according to the published re-
ports OF physicians aud the Jennings.

beautiful than Jennings, the death
rate being only about 80 per cent in
Welsh, what it is in Jennings, accord
ing to population. And then in adj

parish seat located in the CENTER

more than twice as many voters ont.

place the parish seat in the CENTER

A strange fatality seems to accom-
pany elections in Jennings. At the
election held in June for voting
bonds for the Lake Arthur Jennings
and Northern railroad, Mr.. Mahaffy,
a well known citizen was stricken dead
at the polls. At the recent parish
seat election Mr.. Mond, one of the
oldest citizens of the community was
stricken dead at the polls, and all

nings sixteen year old parish seat

SECRETARY FOMENTO
TO VISIT IN PERSON
IMPERIAL SYSTEM

The gratifying news comes through
in the City of Mexico, that Senior
Marroquin y Rivera, secretary fomento
(secretary of the interior) of the Re-
public of Mexico, will leave the City
of Mexico about the Sd instant, ac
companied by an engineer and other
officials, to make a thorough study OF
the Colorado river and the Industrial
and international problems connected
Herewith, which probably implies his
arrival here within the next ten days.
II is known that when Senor Galore
was sent to Washington few months
since he was instructed to attempt to
secure from the United States joint
commission TO pass on the border if.
rigation questions, and it happens that
fits into the plans of this valley.
1t would appear that the secretare
fomento. before proceeding further in
this work, desires a more clear per-
sonal knowledge of conditions, and the
inspection trip is consequently ar
ranged.
Such visit will be greatly to the in
terest of this valley, as it not only
shows deep interest in the questions
by the government of Mexico, but it
indicates a disposition to treat the
subject in careful and thorough man
ner.
The commission has not yet been
appointed, but it looks as though con
ditions are leading up to the appoint
ment.

THE DARROW CASE

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSl
LOS ANGELES, Aug. Assistant
District Attorney Ford today plunged
into the relations between Darrow
and the Burns detective, Guy Biddin-
ger, who testified for the state that
he was bribed by Darrow to give up
some keys, books, documents and
other evidence seized in the Indianapo-
arrested.
Charges of trickery and malicious
Misrepresentation were hurled at AS
sistant District Attorney Ford by
Darrow's counsel today while Ford
was cross examining Darrow. The
state endeavored to show that tele-
grams between DarrOw and Detective
Turner bear out Detective Biddinger's
testimony regarding an agreement be-
tween him and DarrOW, as to getting
evidence in the Mcnamara cases.
Darrow was cool throughout the ex-
animation. He managed to make re-
Plies of little satisfaction to the state
Darrow admitted sending a telegram
to w. j. Turner, a detective whom he
employed in the Meyer Haywood-Pet
bone trial, and VINO brought about the
introduction between Darrow and Bid
dinger September s, 1911. The mes
sage was:
Would not promise, except to do
right, for anything of value
The witness was allowed to read to
the jury telegram which put differ
ent construction on the Turner tele-
gram. 1t read:
Send letter containing copies of
matter C. J. Darrow."
1t was read to show previous tele.
grams did not refer to dynamite and
other things in the Mcnamara trial.
Darrow denied that he told Franklin
he would give him more money if the
Mcnamara case was won than if il
was lost.
