The SDecial tax alaction hold

The special tax election held
at st. Martinville yesterday to de-
eide whether or not the citizens
OF that place wanted to be con-
nected by Trolley, was, we are
pleased to say carried in favor
of the Southwestern Traction &
Power Company. When the time
arrived for closing The booth it
was observed that $l91, 45O.O7
value of property, was cast for
the tax while only $4,000 was
voted against the proposition. In
point of numbers 161 taxpayers
registered their approval of the
tax while only four voted no.
Manager f. w. Crosby and Mr..
Alphonse Davis of this City, both
representing the Company, spent
the entire day stimulating the
people to take advantage of this
opportunity to develop that sec
ton of the country, which they
did and which will prove a big
advantage to those wide awake
citizens in a short time. Monday
last the election was held for the
Barrow line, which we were in
formed was also carried, still
there are conflicting stories about
the result and until the returns
are promulgated we are not in DO
SIT on to say positively whether
the tax asked for his Company
was carried or not.

The county candidates are monopollzing every thing. and the result. in so far as the as pirants for state offices is concerned. is of little interest, and the phone messages from the country precincts fail to tell of the vote for any one else aside from those in whose election the public is most inter- ested So far. however, it is ascertained that Cheney is in the lead for fish and game warden. Dent for Congress has 530 votes and Wiley 5OS. As for the county officials M. B. Salter is considerably ahead for treasurer. J. D. Skinner for assessor. w. s. Oliver for collector and w. c. John son for superintendent of education The people have, by large majority, indorsed the old board of county commissioners. It was thought that the issuance of bonds and working the public roads would inn pair the popularity of the present board but such is not true.

 Acquittal

Opelousas, La, April 2.-The jury in the second trial of Mrs. Zee Runge Mckee, charged with manslaughter for killing Allen Garland in the Mckee home last September, retired at 10 o'clock tonight to make up it's verdict. Judge Pavy charged the jury immediately after the conclusion of argument, which began with the opening of court today.
 At Il 30 o'clock the jury had reached no agreement and were locked up for the night.
 Acting District Attorney Dubisson began the concluding argument at 8 o'clock to- night in the second trial of Mrs. Zee Runge McRree, charged with manslaugh- ter for killing young Allen Garland in her home last September.
 q am confident of aequttal," said Mrs Mckee tonight. She has maintained her attitude of amused interest throughout the trial, especially in regard to the bit ter attacks of the prosecution. Only oc- casionally did she show traces of ner- vousness.
 A large number of women, sister mem bers of Mrs. Mckee in the Order of the Eastern Star, attended the court and re- mained near the accused. On the opposite side of the little court room sat the women members of the Garland family.
 Attorney E. P. Veasie, assisting the prosecutor, blunty charged that intimate relations had existed between the accused and the man she killed. Do you believe, D said he to the jurymen, that if Allen Garland was alive today he could tell who shot him? He could not. As live, Allen Garland never knew who shot him. Gentlemen, do your duty. even though it sends this woman to the penitentiary, where she justly belongs"
