WILL INVADE
THIS CITY

According to the program, Reno
women. five hundred strong, are
to invade Carson tomorrow. when
the divorce bill will be up for con-
sideration As possibly one hundred
can be crowded into the chamber, il
looks like the others will have to be
silent listeners on the outside of the
gate.
The fact that the assemblymen
have made up their minds as to the
merits of this bill, the five hundred
strong will have little effect on the
proposition. 1t seems to be a matter
of individual opinion and this is evil

demned man has either the choice
of shooting or hanging. In either
event. Mr.. Hummel claims that ii is
a great strain on the guards who are
to do the work He further states
that modern execution is by electrl-
city 1t is quicker. scientific. AMI
does all the work that the law de-
mands without the brutality OF the
old plan The fact that :, number
OF the state have this device for capi-
tai punishment in operation con-
vinces him that the electric chair is
the one sure and modern way to
carry out the death sentence
At the state prison, whenever there
is man to be hanged, there is a
great deal of worry among the
guards who have to perform this ter
rible duty The cutting OF the strings
at the gallows is fought off by the
men who are hired for guard duty
while in the case of shooting. it
would result in the same upset. nerv-
Gus condition 1t is to relieve this
strain and put electrocution on sci
entific man that this new law is pro
posed. -.z...-.
At the present, one man is under
sentence OF death hv hanging at the
prison. while ii is prohabl4 that
others will come in for execution be

AT NORWOOD.

The writer spent a few hours at
Norwood, Monday, and was gratified
to note the industrial activities ID
that thriving little town The peo-
Die OF that community have organic
ed q concern to be known as the Nor
wood Canning and Manufacturing
Company, and work has already start
ed on the construction of their fac
tory, which will be completed in
the TO handle this seasons crop.
For several years the people of Nor
wood have engaged extensively in The
trucking business, with uniform sue
cess. A larger acreage than ever
will be planted this year.
The truckers of Norwood will con-
tinue to ship their produce to the
north, when market conditions justi-
iy, but will can it should the market
show decline, thus throwing safe
guard around their business. The
principal crops to be planted this year
Will be tomatoes, beans, sweet pota-
toes and pepper. Approximately 1000
acres, all told, will be planted in the
community this season.
The Norwood Pepper Manufacture
ing Company is preparing for the sea-
sons business with a larger acreage
than ever before.
Fifteen families from the north
and west have located on lands in
the vicinity of Norwood, this year,
70" the express purpose of engaging
in the trucking business.
1t is refreshing to stop in hu5t-
ling community like Norwood and
note the energy with which these peo
pie are endeavoring to rise from the
wreck caused by the failure Of cot
ten: but any community numbering
among its people men like M. c.
Bridges, w. A. West, the Messrs
Norwood and Street, and a number o.
others. is bound to succeed.

ADJUDGED TO THE ASYLUM.

At the request of the Canal-LOu'
isia1a Bank, testamentary executor
of the will of the late Mrs. Caroline
Stannard, widow of Frederick ".
Tilton. Judge 'Theard Tuesday hand
ed down an opinion constituting a par
aeraph in the will which reads, "To
the Home for Insane, $4,000"
The court ordered the money paid
10 the East Louisiana Hospital for
the Insane, at Jackson, La. This llti'
cation has dragged in the courts for
a long time. AS there is no inSti-
tuition of the name used in the will
the executor did not know to what
institution to pay the bequest. The
legacy was claimed by the city, by
the Insane Asylum of Louisiana, and
by the Louisiana Retreat. There was
eviderce however that Mrs. Tilton
had been interested in the Insane
Hospital at Jackson, and the presump'
ton was therefore all in it favor.
Judge Theard decreed that the Hos
pitai should get three-twelfths Of the
residue of Mrs. Tilton's estate.
The case will probably be appealed
| to the Supreme Court.

SCHOOLS NEED AID.

AS has grown to be the custom at
this season of the year, the School
Board will make appeal to the Town
Council of St. Francisvillle for fl
nancial aid to continue the schools
for he full term of nine months. The
only difference is that $l10O are ask
ed for, instead of the more modest
sums CT the past, and there is no
way to forecast what the Board of
Aldermen will do in the premises.
The superintendent, in his communi-
cation published elsewhere in these
columns, incautiously admits that the
high school must be conducted, no
lens VOlens, and therefore Weakens
MS own argument for assistance. But
since the grammar school and the ru-
raj schools will assuredly suffer, the
Counc;lmen will hardly let safety SO
far as the high school is concerned,
influence them selfishly.
TIE True Democrat thinks that
the town authorities should come to
the assistance Of the School Board AS
has been said before, there must be
no retrOgression in the length of the
school term with which West Felc-
lana has been in the lead since re-
construction days. The money must
be found, but if the Town Council de-
cides to give it, in whole or in part,
it should certainly avail itself Of the
opportunity to demand voice in
school affairs, and thus cut off some
Of the abuses and extravagancies, of
which school patrons complain so bit,
terly.
Fer example, the bi-m0nthly holt
days for the teachers institutes. BY
the superintendent own figures this
costs the parish for each holiday
about 1856, besides the loss of time
to the children, the institutes being
of absolutely no benefit to them. In
deed the School Board should demon
mate this as its Foreign Missionar!
Fund, as the teachers-allowng fo
arguments sake that they are bene

PROSPECTS BRIGHT.

A telegram from Mrs. Wickliffe
says that her prospects are bright
for appointment. The testimonials
from home have been forwarded, and
these include a round robin. from
those who know Mrs Wickliffe in
business. The town council Of St
Francisville sent a fine testimonial
as did Mayor George Baier Of Bayou
Sara. At least 100 women in the
Two Towns wrote good testimonials
One dear little boy, Bennett Law
son, wrote a quaint, childlike letter
concluding with: Il miss her sc
much"
1t was revelation to the writer
who knows Mrs. Wickliffe socially
ard only of her charitable work by
popular repute, to have observers re
count at length how she went among
the rOOr, the sick and the aged. One
lady said "Why Mrs. Wickliffe would
bring chicken and other dainties tc
Mrs. Can aged woman living
aloneJ and then feed her, picking
the chicken off the bones for her.
A young girl, remembering how Mrs
Wickliffe had visited a sister, now
dead, said with tears in her eyes
Il want to write something. Mrs
Wickliffe was everybody's friend" A
young man voiced what many others
also had said Nothing is too good
for Mrs. WickIiffe."
Hon. John F. Irvine wrote a strong
letter, and has also commended Mrs
WickEffe to the good offices O.

has solved the problem of combat:
ing the boil weevil, and he bases his
claim on tests made by him and his
associates in the cotton belt, His
plan is merely to plant cedar or fir

conifers that is so repugnant to the
insect thas it will not stay in the vi
