August 7. and John, and two daught-
ers, Cathrine and Mrs. Sarah J..

her death in 1866 at the age of 80.
She was one of the pioneers of the
Methodist church in Covington. Her
daughter Cathrine married Col. Geo.

He lived but a short time and she
married H. d. Tate. August T. Nc
Neil married Miss Adeline Morgan,
D. daughter of General Morgan, of
jacksonville. John Mcneil married
Miss Melissa Stuart, of Baton Rouge.
Mrs. C. Mcneil was remarkable old
lady. living to a great age and never
was sick in her life. She was very
attentive to the poor and destitute.
Every spring she would make a

made of apple pealings, sasafras
root, bamboo and ginger. 1t made

Ing the garden. A pecan tree now
stands in front of the butcher shop
which she planted in 1849 and ate
the fruit from it for eight years.
This nut bears we'll all over the par
ish and Mr.. Paronne and General
Morgan, near Madisonville, had large
orchards of these trees. They al
ways command good price and need
no cultivation after bearing Just

fed pecans. Can you account for
these?

CANDIDATE FOR JUSTICE OF
THE SUPREME COURT.
Editorial fron The T]

Editorial from The Thibodaux Sentinel.
While it has been known to his
friends for a long time that Judge
L. P. Caillouet aspired to seat on
the State Supreme Bench, and it had
been currently rumored that he
would become candidate for the
Democratic nomination as Justice of
the Supreme Court from the Fourth
District, he had not formally an
nounced his candidacy until the cur
rent week.
The parishes comprising the
Fourth Supreme Court District are
Ascension, Assumption, East Baton
Rouge, East Feliciana, iberia, La
fourche, Livingston, St. Mary, St.
Martin, St. Helena, St. James, st.
Tammany, Terrebonne, Tangipahoa,
West Feliciana and Washington.
The Democratic primary for the
selection of the party nominee will
be held during the latter part of
August or the first days of Septem-
Der of the present year.
Judge l.. P. Caillouet needs no in

of the majority of the parishes COM
prised in the Fourth District, for
many of these parishes are in the
First District of the Court of Appeals

Judges. He is native of the par
ish of Lafourche. He was admitted
to the bar in 1885, and practiced his
chosen profession for a few years,
when he was elected District Attorn-
/ - So%h ;01 ~ nj
then composed of the parishes of AS
sumption and Lafourche.
In 1890, the State was redistricted
and Lafourche and Terrebonne were
formed into the Eighteenth Judicial
District. Judge Calliouet was elect.
ed district Judge of this new district
and was reelected in 1896, 1900 and
1904; being nominated and elected
twice without opposition.
| When the present Court of Ap
lpeals was formed, in 1906, he was
nominated and elected without op
position, as one of the Judges of the
first circuit, in which position he ha:

i Judge Calliouet was member o.
the Constitutional Convention O.
1888 and was largely through his eff
forts that the provisions making thu
Governor and Treasurer ineligible t.
succeed themselves were incorporat
ed in the Constitution.
The Sentinel knowing Judge Gail

should be found in the person o
Judges, men who are to pass judg

DEATH BLOW REAL, DECLARES
EXPERT.
Sargent Pitcher Says It's Possible
Stokes Is Right in His Belief.

IN my opinion IL Is cuIlISly pOS-
sible for an expert at jiu-jitsu to
have delivered a blow to Stokes
which may yet be the direct cause
Of his death, especially if he was not
in excellent condition at the time the
blow was delivered" said Mr.. Sar-
gent Pitcher, physical director of the
r. M. C. A and champion all-round
athlete of the South.
Mr.. Pitcher, who has studied jiu-
jitsu, was discussing the press dis
patch which stated that w. E. D.
Stokes, the millionaire horseman,
feared he was dying from what is
known as the death blow" in jiu-
jitsu, q blow Mr.. Stokes thinks was
dealt him when he was attacked by
three Japanese said to. have been
hired to attack him by Lillian Ora
ham and Ethel Conrad, who after
wards shot him.
Sure There are Death BloTys.
That there are death-producing
blows in the science of jiu-jitsu,
there is no doubt in the minds OF
those who have made study of the
art, !" continued Pitcher.
IAN expert at jiu-jitsu must know
anatomy and how to get at the or
gans of the body so as to have them
exposed to such an extent that the
part in chancery is helpless. Then
the hands of an expert have to be
seasoned and toughened by a process
which takes six months of systematic
hard work until they become like
wedges of steel, and it is with these
hands that they are capable of de-
1ivering q deadly blow after they
have the victim in the right position.
Comparative short falls have
broken the necks Of persons without
s leaving a mark, simply because the
head was in the right position. when
the fall occurred. Prize fighters
who have been in magnificent condi-
& fion have received punches in the
kidneys which have ruined then for
life and afterward caused ~eheir
DEATH"
Scott Doesn't Believe 1t.
Whether there is such blow as
the ''death-blow" is problematical,
according to Mr.. Hinata, a japanese
Royal street storekeeper, and Door
man Scott, of the third precinct po-
lice station. Patrolman Scott, who
was at one time circus man. and
who is familiar with every style OF
wrestling, said Tuesday that he di,
not believe the report that Stokes
was dying rs the result Of death
blow over the kidneys received in
IN encounter with three Japanese.
II believe the only blow that will
really affect man is over the heart, y
he said. ''All this talk about kidney
blows make me tired. When / was
Z young man l believe you could have
hit me across the kidneys with base
ball bat and I wouldn't have been
badly hurt. know of no blow in
jui-jitsu which will kill man by
degrees" ...
Doesn't Know of 1t.
eff jui-jitsu was SO dangerous,
said Mr.. Hinata, I'VE would MOI
practice it in Japan and be killing
each other. There are blows al
i over the body which will make mai
Incapable of moving temporarily, CT
nut him unconscious, but know O
no death-blow at all. | an not

u have never heard of such a blow"
