My son, give me thine heart, and let
thine eyes observe my waos:-xxiii, 26.
Every purpose is established by counsel:
and with good advice make war.-xx, 10.
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath
an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty
meats,-xxiii, 8.
The righteous man wisely considerth the
house OF the wicked; but God overthrow
eth the wicked for their wickedness.-xxi,

When thou sittest to eat with ruler,
consider diligently what Is before thee:
and put knife to thy throat If thou be a
man given to appetite. Be not DESTROYS of
his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
Labor not to be rich: cease from thine own
wisdom Ia.
Have not | written to thee excellent
things in counsels and knowledge, that |
might make thee know the certainty of the
words of truth; that thou mightest answer
the words of truth to them that send unto
thee? Rob not the poor, because he is
poor; neither Cypress the afflicted in the

The Lake Providence Banner-Democrat
of East Carroll Parish says: We went out
as far as the head of the lake one evening
last week, and could not help but admire
the handsome appearance of the country
and to see the vast area of land that is
broken up and only waiting for the seed to
be planted. What difference in its ap-
pearance now and only few years back
when weeds, delapidated houses and I'M
slightly cabins greeted your eye. Now
everything is changed and this part of the
country is attractive and inviting. 1t is
this way clear to the Arkansas line.

Lake Providence Banner Democrat:
Mrs. Ada Sanders, wife of Ex-Governor
J. Y. Sanders, was granted divorce in a
decree handed down in the Chancery Court
OF Arkansas in Texarkana last week. De-
sertion was alleged as the cause for action.
Mrs. Sanders was given $40 week alimony
for life. They were married many years
ago and have grown son living in New
Orleans. This action should hurt the ex-
Governor, should he ever run again for
office in Louisiana.

SLANDER.-How is it that the evil which
men say spreads so widely and lasts so
long, whilst our good, kind words don't
seem somehow to take root and bear bios
som? Is it that in the stony hearts of man
kind these pretty flowers can't find place
to grow? Certain it is that scandal is good
brisk talk, whereas praise of ones neigh
Dor is by no means lively hearing. An
acquaintance grillled, scored, deviled and
served with mustard and cayenne pepper
excites the appetite, whereas slice of cold
friend with currant jelly is but sickly,
unrelishing meat.-IHackeray.

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC AND CRIME.

Georgia, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Tennessee and West Virginia are States
entirely "dry." The "near prohibition !"
States, that is, States in which more than
80 per cent of the population is under pro-
hibition, are Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado,
Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
Hampshire. South Carolina. South Dakota,
Texas, Virginia and Vermont.
The only fair basis for estimating the
relation of the liquor traffic to crime is by
taking the statistics from the prohibition
States and comparing them with States not
under prohibition. For example statistics
show that Maine, North Dakota and Kan
sas, which have been under prohibition for
ten years or more, the number of criminals
to the 100000 population is 84.4; while in
the license States the number of criminals
der 900 population is 1903. A con-
crete examplei is found in the case of Jeffer-
son County, Alabama, in which county
Birmingham is located. The official re-
ports show that under saloons in 1907 there
were 5,448 arrests; in 1908 under prohibi
ton the arrests were 1880; in 1912 under
saloons they went up to 1913. The coro-
ner's record for the same county from 1909
to 1912 inclusive shows in 1909 100 murders
under prohibition; in 1910 1913 murders
under prohibition; in 1911, nine months
prohibition and three months saloon,
eighty eight MURDERS; in 1912, with open
saloons for the entire year, 800 murders.
These CHASTITY figures speak for them
selves.
