SELLING COTTON ROLLS Complaint Made to Police That Women Pose at Daughters of Confederacy

Complaint has been filed with the po- lice department that two women are going about the streets of the city posing as Daughters of the Confederacy anc thereby gathering in sundry nickels and dimes by selling cotton bols. The com plaint was taken under advisement.
 The police were rather taken aback by the complaint as the two psuedo Daugh- ters of the Confederacy had found a ready sale for their cotton bolls with the rank and file of the police department In fact it was noticeable yesterday that nearly all who wore cotton bolls were policemen. However, many of the off cers laughed good naturedly last night and stated that the cotton boil whether it was sold by a genuine Daughter of the Confederacy made little difference as anything to help the cotton movement along should be the rule.

 British officials called attention to the reported massing of the English fleet near Ostend and the importance of marine artillery as a defense of a sea coast town. They had received no word, however, to confirm intimations in Antwerp dispatches that British troops and artillery are sharing in the defense of the city.
 MT. Hayenith said the German ac- tivity in Belgium was not important to the campaign as whole. The Belgian army had performed its task at Lfege as retarding the German advance on France. he said. and the real issue for Belgium and her allies was to be sought on the banks of the Aisne.

Daylight Fireworks For Children Al Fair Today

The thousands of children who will go to the fairgrounds today and leave there tonight by all means deserve good car service. For nearly 45 minutes at one time last night, between the hours mem tioned, there was not one special fair grounds car which left the gates bound for Birmingham. During that time two Ensley cars and one Bessemer car Bir- mingham bound came by, but all three were loaded to the doors by the time they struck the very edge of the big crowd Of homecoming fairgoers who, tired and weary after an all-day session of fun. stood there on the cinders and waited and waited and waited.
 When cars finally did come they were so few that they could not handle the crowds and women and children were forced to stand in the aisles the entire trip to Birmingham. With good car serv- ice today, children's Day will, in all probability, be ideal.
 The special fireworks for daylight ex- hibition is not often seen. It is only one of the features of the days programme which has been arranged in honor of the children. And they are expected to come cut to about the number of 10000 or more.

HOSIERY HINTS.

l. Purchase one of the guaranteed
lines OF hosiery. No one can make
poor hose last long.
2. Wash out the feet of new hose
before wearing. This Increases the
wearing quality of the foot.
8. Stitch around the top of each
stocking on the machine, TO prevent
ladders"
4. Buy six pairs or so at a time, and
then rotate them in use.
5. Do not wear one pair longer than
one or two days. Two pairs of fifty.
cent hosiery have been known to last
through a whole seasons tramping
abroad, without wearing out, because
they were worn only one day, and then
Numbered by hand. Precipitation, more
than anything else, causes the threads
to break.
8. II possible, launder your hosiery
by hand, In warm water, rinsing out in
cold, hard water.
z. Remove at once any protruding
tacks In the shoe.

MRS. J. A. LANGLOIS DEAD.

A gloom was cast over Thanksgiving
Day, when it was known in the early
morning, that Mrs. J. A. Langlois had
died the previous midnight, after an
illness, which developed Sunday but
did not become serious until Wednes-
day evening, very few friends even
knowing of her condition. The funeral,
held at two o'clock Thursday after
noon, amidst pouring rain added great
|er gloom, although a large number
braved the weather to pay this last
tribute of respect to one, of whom it
can be truly said:
None knew her but to love her
None named her but to praise"
Elizabeth Lynball Sweetman Lang
lois was the daughter of Jasper N.
Sweetman, and wife of ]. Aubin
Langlois, and through the short years
of her life-twenty-fve years, ten
months and five days-was a resident
|Of Bayou Sara. The True Democrat
has chronicled every event of her
life except her birth:-the simple an.
mails of her schooldays, her confirma.
ton, her graduation from high school,
her engagement, her happy marriage,
the birth of her two children, and
now in writing "finis" to her earthly
career, we can feel that no rounder
fuller, though all too short life, has
been presented to contemplation.
OF a bright, sunny disposition, a
warm kindly influence emanated from
her very presence. AS a young girl,
she mothered all the younger children
at school and Sunday School. All of
them loved her and looked up to her
as leader. She was dutiful daugh-
ter, a loving sister, and kind, tender
granddaughter to Mrs. Elizabeth
White, the only mother she ever knew,
her own mother having passed away
in the beauty of her young womanhood
even as Lizzie" has done. The home
Frightened by her as wife, mother,
daughter is inexpressibly bereft. Who
can fifty speak comfort to that aged
grandmother, devoted husband, and
little ones, that miss her love and
tender care?
