Senator Mouton a Major.

Lafayette, La, Oct. %. - State
Senator Fernsnd Mouton to day
received his commission as major
aud aide de camp on Governor
Halls staff. This comes as a sur
prise to Senator Mouton and bis
numerous friends. The honor is
considered quite a compliment. as
under the new law the governors
staff is composed of only twelve
members. which makes the az
poiutment much more to be de.
sired.

Lorinner Incident is
Best Forgotten.

Several influential newspapers of this
state are devoting considerable space
to the defense Of several southern SEN
ators who voted for the retention in
office of William Lorimer. In most
cases lengthy ,defenses of Lorimer from
capitalistic newspapers of the North
and East are being reprinted. At most
these papers only claim the Scotch
verdict, Guilty but not proven" and
the excerpts make mighty poor read
ing.
Without attempting to read the mo-
tives Of any Of the senators who voted
for MIR. Lorimer, it is clear that these
weak apologies, coming at this late
day, only serve to accentuate what
most people believe to be a serious
mistake on the part Of few Of our
United States senator's.
Some senators have prated SO long
about the theory that the senate is n
check on the popular government
guaranteed by the constitution, that
they believe they are doing only their
duty when they oppose every measure
that is advocated by the people.

The Sweetest Phrase
In Language.

Il love you" is the sweetest phrase
in the language.
1t has given more joy in the world
than all else ever spoken.
It is sweet on the lips of lovers. 1t
is rich with joy at the marriage altar.
It is as music overheard from heaven
when a mother whispers It to her
child.
But never is it so sweet as when a
husband repeats it to his wife, day
after day, through all the years that
are allotted them.
Many a man of middle age and past
still loves his wife, no doubt. But
does he often tell her so?
A woman's greatest happiness is in
being told that she is loved. She may
know that she is loved, yet, If she be
not told so. she is miserable. And, or
the other hand, she may know 1t il
not true. yet the II love YOU is in.

Anderson were disposed Of at public
auction at my farm, one mile east in
the presence Of seventy FIVE guests, in
Guiding two mules and twelve head of

Rev. Jackson tied the nuptial knot
for the parties, averaging 1880 pounds
on the hoof. The beautiful home of
the bride was decorated with one sullry
rake, one feed grinder, and two sets of
work harness, nearly new, and just
before the ceremony was pronounced
Mendel & Sons wedding march was
rendered by one mich COW, five years
old, one Jersey COW and one sheep,
who carrying a bunch of brides roses
in her hand, was very beautiful. She
wore one light spring wagon, two
crates of apples, three racks of hay,
one grindstone of moisline desoie and
trimmed with about 100 bushels of

Wilson's Election
Will Remove Ban.

While in no sense will Woodrow
Wilson, if he is elected, be a sectional
president, his advent into office will no
doubt very effectually remove what
may be described as a kind of a ban
that has long been placed on the
South.
More than anything else, just at this
time the South and especially Florida,
needs settlers. People of the right
kind are wanted to come here and buy
the low priced lands, build homes and
help to develop this God favored, mag
nihcent country.
For years the government has main
tanned abroad immigration agents who
have canvassed northern Europe for
home-seekers and the assertion has
often been made that these govern
ment employees have used unfair means
to speak i'll of the South as a section
and have exerted all their energies in
obtaining settlers for the North and
the northwest.
From some understandable semi off,
eial source, the false information has
pSCh SpIedu dDIOdQ, constantly ana
untiringly in the North and East, that
climatic and labor conditions are not
favorable in great portions Of the
South. Many otherwise intelligent peo-
pie have been made to believe since
childhood that human life is unsafe in
the South, when as a matter Of fact,
fewer great crimes are committed in
the South than in any other section of
the country.
With the coming of the Wilson adj
ministration, this ban will be lifted
from the South. The referee system
of appointing officers, so baleful in its
effects, viii pass away. Federal Of
fees win be filled by men in sympathy,
socially, industrially and intellectually
with the people and no federal official
win dare use his position to unfairly
prejudice emigrants against the most
desirable portion of the continent.
