According to reports made to the United States
Interstate Commerce Commission, Jacksonville Fla,

states OF the South 100000 gallons of liquor per year

THE WORK IN THE METHODIST
CHURCH.

Rev. T. D. Lipscomb says that he
will make every effort to awaken in
terest in the work of the church.
He is now preparing his plan of cam
paign and aside from his duties in
the pulpit will try to find the means
for stimulation and interest that will
bring the members closer together
and give renewed vigor to the work
Of the church. Covington should
have a Methodist membership of
about three hundred. There are
children enough to have a large Sun
day school with good attendance
every Sunday and there is no reason
why they should not be gathered to-
gether and made to feel the happi-
ness that comes from Sunday school
work. He will also probably
strengthen the choir and make sing
ing an interesting feature of the
service
In Slidell there is a very large
Sunday school under the care of it's
superintendent, Mr.. L. c. Dirkson,
and the attendance is regular and
good. Special attention will be CIV
en- to building up the home missions
and other aids of the church work
Mr.. Lipscomb says he expects to call
personally upon every member of his
church, both in Covington and
Slidell,

INDICTED

indianapolis, Feb. 14.-Within 3
few hours to-day Federal government
representatives in cities from New
York to Savannah to Denver arrest
ed at least forty-one of the fifty-foul
union labor men indicted in connec.
ton with the gigantic dynamite con.
spiracy. It is said all indicted would
be under arrest within the next forty
eight hours.
Practically the entire official stat
of the International Association OF
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers,
Including the chief officers, members
of the Executive Board and about
twenty business agents and former
business agents were taken into Gus
tody. Those included Frank NJ.
Ryan, president; John T. Butler, of
Buffalo. first vice president, and Her.
bert 8. Hockin, second vice presi-
dent and successor of J. ]. McNa-
mara as secretary-treasurer. Each
of these men was required to give
$4,000 bond for his appearance for
|arraignment here with all other de-
PENDANTS on March 2.
BY its action the government re-
vealed the identities of the men
whom it charges with being the ac-
completes of the McNamaras and
Ortie E. McManigal in the dynamite
plots, embracing almost one hundred
explosions, which We're begun in Mas
sachusetts in 1905, were scattered
over the country for six years, and
resulted in the wrecking of the Los
Angeles Times building and an at
tempt to blow up President Taft's
special train at Santa Barbara, Cal,
last October.
Fourteen of those indicted are re-
quired to furnish $4,000 bond each
and forty are required to furnish
$4,000 bond each, making an aggre-
gate bond required of $4,000.
Some of those whom the government
was unable to find to-day were re-
ported to have disappeared through
fear Of inability to get bond. It was
intimated that the Iron Workers As
ISOLATION would be unable to furnish
security for its indicted members.
Ernest G. w. Basey, former bust
ness agent of the Indianapolis Iron
Workers Union, and Edward Clark,
former business agent of the Gin
cinnati union, who were brought here
after their arrest at Cincinnati, were
unable to obtain bail and were taken
to Jail.
When Clark appealed to Secretary
Hockin Of the Iron Workers Associa.
ton for aid, Hockin advised the Unit
ed States marshal to inform Clark
the International association could
do nothing for him, and referred him
to his local union. Hockin said it
would be impossible for the interna-

A LEAP YEAR PARTY.

The Misses Frederick entertained
at their home in Covington, last
Tuesday, in honor of Mrs. E. o. Bull
loch, of Meridian, Miss, who has
been their guest and who returned
home Friday. A leap year party
was chosen as the form of amuse-
ment, all ladies being masked. The
rooms were beautifully decorated in
pine evergreens and red hearts pen
dant. Music and dancing we're en-
joyed and dainty refreshments were
served, the evening being spent very
pleasantly indeed.
Those present were: Mrs. E. O..
Bulloch, Misses Clara Faux, Moss
Turner, Norma Weaver, Ellen and
Lucille Roy, Eta and Estelle Evans,
Mae Poole, Ida Howell, Maggie
Grimmer. Lou Lyons, Grace Bloss-

WHAT 1T MEANS TO BE UP TO
DATE.

1t is refreshing to enter a place
OF business and find everybody smil-
ing, CHEEKY, full of business and con-
fident of the future. A representa-
tive of the Farmer found things this
way at the F. C. FitzSimons Grocery
Co.. on Columbia street. The COM
mon expression, There's a reason, /"
fits we'll in this instance. The Fitz-
Simons Company has made a study
OF supplying the needs of tie Gus
tomers-not simply selling them
goods, but giving them the benefit
of its knowledge and experience as
buyers. Goods are represented ex-
actly as they are and the benefit of
decline in prices is always given to
the customer. The consequence is
that this company is doing a good
business and is growing in populari-
ty. A feature of their enterprise was
their recent effort to meet the high
price of butter by providing the
"Parksdale Process Butter" a whole
sor e butter of less cost, for those
who did not feel inclined to pay the
high price of creamery butter.

school, The Slidell school was again
visited last Thursday and a super
vision made of the desks of the new
school, in company with Mr.. w. E.
Gauze, and Saturday he attended the
institute meeting there.
Superintendent Lyon desires 1t
understood that there will be no
school next Tuesday. Mardi Gras
day, and that school may also be
closed Monday if the day is made up
BY teaching the following Saturday.
This will give both Monday and Tues
day off for those teachers and pupils
who wish to keep school the next
Saturday.

GOING SOME.
Fast Ride In an Automobile from
COvingtOn to Vaudeville.

A party of Covington people fail
ing to make connection with the
train for New Orleans Sunday after
noon made a race to head it OF
at Vaudeville. The party consisted
of Messrs. John Diendorf, Dudley
Weaver, Miss Diendorf and Mr.. Wal
lace Poole driving. The machine
was standing in front of the post
Office when the train stopped at Clai-
borne. It was absolutely necessary
to catch the train, and notwithstand-
ing the bad condition of the roads
the race was started. The run was
made in exactly eighteen minutes
and there was plenty of time to
catch the train at Vaudeville station.
Mr.. Diendorf says the race was ex-
citing and not the kind of risk that
insurance companies are fond of, but
it was necessary and "all's we'll that
ends WELL" The same hole had to
be passed that proved so disastrous
to Mr.. Barley Smith last week.
But they got through without acct
dent, due probably to the excellent
driving of Mr.. Poole.

Having known Mr.. Frederick since
early childhood, his struggles
through those days Of few schools,
his ambition and energy through his
college life from which he emerged
with honors and q future before him,
with only that ambition and energy
to make or mar that future. To-day
he stands before us as one capable,
able and honest. He has been con-
tinuously elected by his fellow towns
men as councilmen for fourteen years
and would have been again elected
for the present term, but voluntarily
declined to stand for reelection.
Mr.. Frederick has been actively
identified with the commercial life
Of Covington, as we'll as the parish
Of st. Tammany, ever since he at
tanned his majority, and his business
success is q credit to himself and
to the people Of the parish. He has
with the courage that particularly
belongs to the true "son of the soil"
invested his earnings and risked his
money in developing his town and
parish, and by his business activity
has builded UP his community, and
has contributed in no small way in
assisting others to earn a necessary
living for themselves and their fam
lilies, and by SO doing has proven
his faith in the resources and the
future of his native parish and town.
He is well known for his generosi-
ty and charity, giving literally to
every cause, whether church. schools
or to allay the misfortunes Of his fell
lowmen, and lastly, he has ever stood
as bulwark in defense of the pub
lie schools. BY his efforts and in
fluence, as q member of the council
of the town of Covington, made that
body realize its duty to the public
school. which has since annually con-
tributed the necessary amount
81, 2O0-to continue the public school
for term of nine months instead of
seven months.
He is the father of large family
Of children, mostly boys who will
some dap be our citizens and taxpay-
ers. He ID conservative, progressive,
active. There is no reason why the
people Of st. Tsmmany parish should
not elect him Clerk of Court, and
every reason why they should.
Respectfully, Z friend and sup
porter,
MRS. J. CLIFTON BURNS.
