The Home Merchant.

1t is best for you to trade at home
The Andalusia (Ala.) Star prints
some unanswerable reasons why the
home merchant is entitled to the
money you spend, and for the benefit
of readers of The News we reproduce
them below:
He has credited you through the
summer season and you ought to give
him your cash.
1t helps your town to trade at
home and it helps you.
1t costs you less to trade at home,
and you can buy everything you need
here.
When you go elsewhere shopping
you are taking money out of circula-
ton at home, and you have to pay
railroad fare and a big price for
what you buy.
When you need help for charita-
BILE institutions to whom do you go?
To your home merchant.
When you want help of any sort
that is to be secured by popular con-
tributions to whom do you go?
To your home merchant.
You do not dare apply to the big
houses in other cities for help for
any of these affairs.
Does it not seem to be right and
proper for you, when you want to
make a purchase, to give your home
merchant the preference?
All things being considered, isn't
it his due that you give him an OPP
portunity to supply your wants?

BIRDS ARE VALUABLE FOR
DESTROYING BOIL WEEVIL
or, tho Farm and Homestead.

From the Farm and Homestead.
The nighthawk, or bullbat, catches
the weevils on the wing in considera-
Bile numbers, especially during their
migration. Unfortunately the night
hawk is shot for sport or eaten for
food in some sections of the South,
but it's value for food is intinitesimal
as compared with the services it rem
ders the cotton grower and other ag-
riculturists, and every effort should
be made to spread broadcast knowl-
edge of its usefulness as a weevil
destroyer, with a view to its COM
plete protection. The orioles, barn
swallow, rough-wing swallow, bank
martin, cliff swallow and the mar
tin are all persistent enemies of the
boil weevil.

MURDER is SONGS CLIMAX.


From the Los Angeles Times.
Two men were slain and third
dangerously wounded in a gun and
knife night caused by love song and
a guitar at MontebellO.
Famed into a frenzy by the melo-
dious strains of a Mexican love ditty,
sung and picked on a two-stringed
guitar by Manuel Arroyo, his rival
for the hand of a pretty senorita OF
Montebello, Robert Martinez first
shot the fingers from the hand at the
strings, then crushed Arroyo's head
with the gun butt, and turned to go.
AS Martinez reached the door he
was confronted by Victor Arroyo, a
brother of the dead man, and Juan
Zuingo, a friend. Martinez grappled
with Zuingo and beat him on the
head with the gun butt. Victor Arroyo
was begging his brother to speak to
him Martinez floored Zuingo and
started for the door. Zuingo pulled
his revolver and shot Martinez in the
back, killing him instantly.
Deputy sheriffs later learned from
friends of the dead men that each
was desperately in love with black
eyed girl, daughter of a Mexican
ranchman, living nearby.
According to Deputy Sheriff Fox,
Martinez, who bunked a few feet
from the Arroyo house, heard Arroyo
singing his love song to his sweet
heart. Insane from jealousy he qui-
city crept to the window of Arroyo's
house and shot the fingers from his
right hand. Then he rushed into
the house and battered him to death.

represented this state on that body
for the past twenty years, and as ex-

NEWS AND VIEWS.

How rapidly the personnel OF the
United States supreme court changes
is shown by the fact that five of its
nine members have been appointed
since the latter part of 1910, or, in
other words, that a majority of its
membership has been in office less
than four years, the length of pres
idential term. The addition of JUS
tice McReynOlds makes no change in
the sectional representation, as the
South still has three members, the
West two. the Middle West one, New
England one and the Eastern states
two.
The amazing increase in the num-
Der of gray haired men and women
in Paris since the war began is not
owing to fright, 1t is merely evil
dence that the importation of dyes
has stopped. Many a little tragedy
of the dressing table has occurred
since the German advance began.
Think what an old Partisan, to say
nothing of an old Parisienne, must
have suffered when compelled to face
the eyes of Paris with gray hair
showing where formerly raven and
auburn locks fioated in the breeze.

Later Gilmore talked with Owner
Baker of the PhilHes, who has suffer-

any other magnate. With Gilmore
was Attorney Gates of the league,
and undoubtedly there was some talk
of the threatened suit by the Feds for

In about three weeks more and
the General Assembly of the State
of Louisiana will have ended it's
session of 1914. The calendar of
the House of Representatives is
crowded with little prospects of
clearing it before the session
ends. It was thought that this
session of the Legislature would
be a business session. but politics
seems to have had great influence
in the advocacy of, and the oppo.
sition to almost every important
measure presented. This is the
time when the politicians look
forward to and make their plans
for the next election. It would be
far better for the good of the
State if the members of the Legis-
lature would look to the passage
of the measures which will bene.
fit the State and try to cast their
selfish political ambitions for the
good of the people whose interest
they are obligated to advance and
protect. It is to be hoped that the
members of the Legislature will
devote the few remaining working
days of the session to the perfor-
nance of the duties which trust
requires of them.

OUR CHOICE.

Hon. Wilson T. Peterman is
prominently spoken of as the best
qualified candidate for Congress
from the Third Congressional
District. In the opinion of the
Banner he is the best qualified.
He is a man of wise judgment and
splendid ability. He has large
business interests in this district.
He has had much experience in
public affairs. He was State
Senator from the nth Senatorial
District for four years and he is
now serving his second term as
Sheriff of the Parish of St. Mary.
He has performed the duties of
both offices with scrupulous care
and marked ability.
The Banner will support who is
nominated by the Progressive
Party; but it intends to advocate
and work with ali its might for
the nomination of Hon. Wilson
L. Peterman of st. Mary for Con-
gresham from the Third Con-
gressional District. If he is ncc.
mated he will be a sue winner.
