The present method of reach.
ing decisions by the Supreme
Court, wherein the litigant OBJ
tains the opinion of only one
Judge on the law and the facts
when entitled to the judgement
of all five, IS fundamentally and
radically wrong. The evil re-
sulting from this system has
been recognized by the Louisiana
Bar Association and called to the
attention of the Legislature, but
nothing has yet been done in the
way of remedying it.
The Man.
Edward Nichols Pugh. native
of Assumption Parish, lifelong
resident Of Ascension Parish,
son of W. W. Pugh (once speak
er ofthe House of Representives)
grandson Of Thomas G.. Nichols
(for many years q Judge Of the
States highest tribunaD and
nephew Of the lamented Francis
T. Nichols, comes from a family
of Judges. He has been a leader
in public life and in all move
ments for the good of the people,
but never a holder of Office for
pay or profit. In time of war he
responded among the first to call
Of patriotism, becoming First
Lieutenant Of the Cannoneers in |

practitioner he has helped to
frame the Jurisprudence of the
State. Alawyer Of unq uestioned

view Of another justice, thereby
leaving decisions of the court
unavailable as precedents. If
this is true, then the pledge OF
reformation should be exacted
from the candidates who are now
aspiring to positions on the su'
preme bench and who are asking
the votes of the people at the
coming election. 1t is a day of
reform. Let US not hesitate to
bring the judiciary within the
circle of reformation. if it so be
that there is room for reforma-
tion."
The views of theF'armer on this
subject are eminently correct and
are in thorough accord with the
position taken by our distin'
guished co-parishioner, Edward
N. Pugb, in the announcement of
his candidacy for associate jus.
tice of the supreme court from
this district. No one having
knowledge Of Mr. Pugh's stand
ing and reputation as a citizen
and a lawyer would deem him
capable of jnconsiderate, unjust
or disrespectful criticism of the{
supreme court, and it is not too
much to say that he would be the |
last man in the community to
say or do anything calculated to
bring that exalted tribunal into
disrepute or contempt. Know

NO DANGER IN MoUTHPIEcEs
Investigation Shows Communication
Of tuberculosis by Use Of Tele-
phones Is Unlikely.

An investigation made in Eng
land to determine the possibility of
the communication of tuberculosis
through the use of telephones seems
to show that such infection is prac-
tically impossible. The experiments
were ordered by the postmaster gen.
eral, who appointed DR.. H. Spitta Of
St Georges hospital, London, and
bacteriologist to the king, to make
the experiments.
A number of telephones, which
had been in use in busy London Of
fees for various periods, and had
received no cleansing treatment
other than that normally given such
phones, were first tested. Washings
were prepared from the mouth
pieces and tests were made by the
incubation of guinea-pigs to ascer-
tain whether tubercle bacilli were
present. The mouthpieces were
shown to be free from these bacilli

HOW FAST THE HORSE WENT
"LIeklty Split" Said the Boy Witness
and the Judge and Jury
Understood.

In the Superior civil court a little
chap was giving testimony in a case
where an express team is alleged to
have knocked down and injured a
boy acquaintance of the witness. The
little chap on the witness stand was
asked how fast the team was going
when he first noticed it. He seemed
a bit puzzled, and the attorney sug-
gested q hearse and a fire engine as
tremess of comparison. The boy said
it was not going as fast as a fire
engine and faster than a hearse.
The attorney ventured again to
have the witness state in his opin-
ion just how fast the team was go
ing.
at was going 1ickity split said
the youngster.
From the expression upon the
faces Of the judge and the members
of the jury it was evident that they
understood the answer of the witness
thoroughly.-Boston Journal.

"AnInstsd Newspaper" Of French
Moving Picture Shows Are Pop
ular With the Patrons.

The animated newspaper" issued
by o French firm for display in NOV
ing picture establishments is said to
be the most costly newspaper issued,
from the standpoint of the subscribe
er, as one Of these reels costs many
dollars. These films are very popu-
lar with a certain class of patrons
Of the movies" They are edited
in much the same manner as the
typical newspaper. A corps Of oper-
ators is kept in constant touch
with many sources Of news. AS soon
as a promising tip reaches him, the
editor sends one, two or as many
men as he thinks necessary for the
purpose. Frequently the three films
are patched together to make one
complete reel. Correspondents are
maintained at different points, and
these are assigned by telegraph to 60
to certain points where their serv-
ices may be needed. Mine explo-
sions and railroad accidents are re-
garded as particularly attractive
features, and men are sent at once
to these whenever they are reason
ably accessible. Pictures of the de-
bris and the work Of removal are
always objects of interest to patronf
of the movies"

COD INDUSTRY IS GROWING
Newfoundland Has Wonderful Asset
and WIZ Be Great Fish Depot
Of World.

The cod is probably the most pro-
life Of all sea fish, though its habi-
tat docs not extend over as large an
area as other species, says the Wide
World. The cod is only found in
northern waters, and will live and
thrive only in certain temperatures.
Some day, owing to the wonderful
asset which Newfoundland possesses
in her cod fishery, she is destined TO
be the great fish depot Of the world.
1t is not alone on the great 'banks,"
many miles off her coasts, that cod
are found in countless millions, but
around the whole island-on the
'1edges" and grounds off the
capes and promontories that jut into
the Atlantic, as well as on the Lab
rador coast, for a stretch of 1000
miles. In these regions you require
no hatcheries to aid the wonderful
fecundity of nature; indeed, it is
doubtful if you require any laws or
regulations to protect these fisheries
unless it be in the shoal waters of
the bay.
Notwithstanding that for 300
years the fisheries of these waters
have been prosecuted by rival fish
ermen of two hemispheres, the larg-
est catch of cod ever taken on the
Newfoundland and Labrador coasts
was that secured in 1909, the yield
being estimated in weight at 1,800,-
600 quintals, or 100000
pounds; to which may be added
100000 quintals-the quantity 10
cally consumed in Newfoundland

TOO MUCH FOR THEM.

A northern man made a visit to
the plantation of a southern colonel
and was almost devoured the first
night by mosquitoes. The next morn
ing the northern man asked the col
ored butler about the mosquito
plague. ''Don't the mosquitoes
bother the colonel?" he asked.
'Not much, sah," the butler re-
piled. "The fust part of the night
the colonel am too drunk to feel
mosquitoes, and the last part of the
night they is too drunk to bother
him."

originated from some unknown cause
and totally destroyed his home Sum
day night.
When DR.. Cheyne awoke and dis
covered the fire, the roof of the house
was already falling in, and he hastily
aroused his children from sleep and
sought safety in flight from the fall
ing timbers
The residence was situated about
three miles from st. Charles on the
road to BishOpvilie. 1t was a large

he moved his family from this city

WILSON TO ACT ON ADVICE.
WILL BE GUIDED BY CONGRESS-
MEN IN APPOINTMENTS.
Members Of Lower Branch Will Have
influence as to POstmasters; Sena-
tors as to Other Officers.

Washington, Nov. 11.-From an un-
deniably reliable source it is learned
here today that President-elect Will
son has decided that, upon his entry
into the White House March 4, the
appointment Of all postmasters, with
the exception Of those under civil SER
vice rules, shall be left to the mem
bers of the house exclusively.
In the selection of such officials the
wish of the respective house mem
bers will be rigdly regarded.
Further than this it could not be
ascertained from this authority what
the president t-elect will do toward fill
ing other positions such as collector
of the port. district attorney, mar
shall. etc., but it is understood, how
ever, that these appointments will
bc left to the recommendation of the
senator's, although on this latter point
no direct information could be Sc
cured.
This action would place the appoint
ment Of all postmasters not under
civil service at the disposition Of the
house members and leave the larger
places to be filled as the various
Democratic senators might suggest.
That such plan will be decided
upon there is no doubt, this informa-
tion coming from a we'll known sena-
tor who is on the inside in such mat
ters and who has his ear close to the
ground regarding future presidential
appointments. Besides it is the Gus
administrations.

There are many of us who would

lead this State. Only a limited num-
Der Of entries will be allowed from
each State; and, if other counties put
up the best corn at the preliminary
state show to be held in Columbia in
December, then it is barely possible
that corn growing people from all
parts of the United States will not be
impressed with the fact that Sumter
county can and does grow good corn.

BRITISH AMBASSADOR RESIGNS.
Quits Post at Washington TO Complete
Literary Work.

Washington, Nov. 1O-James
Bryce, the British ambassador to the
United States, has rendered his resig-
nation and will return to England
There has been no official announce
ment Of the resignation and the British
embassy will make no statement, but
it was learned tonight on high au-
thority that Mr. Bryce informed Presi-
dent Taft of his action at the White
House yesterday.
1t is understood that the ambassa-
dor submitted to the President the
name of the British Governmnt's
choice for his successor and at the
same time stated his own intention of
returning home as soon as possible
President Taft, it is stated, requested
that the announcement be withheld
kuntil he could have an opportunity to
discuss it with Secretary of state
Knox. Mr.. Knox returned to the city
tonigh and ii is expected that an of-
ihclal announcement tomorrow will
follow his conference with the Presi-
dent
Er"ce is to retire will be received with
dee? regret in official circles and by

unexpected. There has been no break
In the harmonious relations of the
distinguished Englishman and his
government. but it has been an open
secret for some time that Mr.. Bryce,
advancing in years, desired TO sur
render his post and give entire atten-
tion To the completion of the literary
work which has occupied SO large a
part of his life. His book on South
America, written since his tour of
that country two years ago, is just
off the press and he is about to begin
Il work covering his recent tour of
Australia and New Iceland.
Facing the British ambassador TO
the United states just now are sew
eral great and troublesome problems
and it is known that MIR. Bryc.'s
friends feared that if he continued in
Office at this time he would break
down his health and probably have to
abandon his literary efforts Among
