Whereas death has again visited
our Camp and has destroyed with
it's blighting touch two of our
beloved Comrades. thus again
making weaker our fast depicting,
veteran ranks;
Whereas, we, who were their
Comrades in war and their friends
in peace will always honor apd
revere their memory;
Therefore be it resolved, That
Florian Cornay Camp No. 345,
United Confederate Veterans, by
the death of Comrades James G.
Fourmy and John Darce, has lost
the true fellowship and loyal sup
port of two of our most faithful
members. who bravely fought for
their State, and who, when the
war flags were furIed in defeat,
undismayed allied themselves
with her best citizens and worked
manfully in rebuilding her ruined
fortune.
Resolved. That these resolutions
be inscribed in the record book OF
our Camp and that a copy of them
be sent to the family of each OF
our departed Comrades.

llliteracy Among Louisiana
Rural Population.

: The need of more and better
rural schools in Louisiana is made
manifest by conditions revealed
in q recent census report showing
the per centage of illiterates
among the native white farming
class of this State. The figures
show that the per centage of illi-
teracy in the rural districts of
Louisiana is 20.2 and IL per cent
in the cities and villages of the
State. Louisiana has 352, 179 ILL.

Beer 10 Pay Half the Wal

The war revenue tax ofapproxi-
mately $50. 900, 900 on the annual
output of beer is agreeable to the
brewers, although this industry
already pays yearly internal re-
venue tax of St65, 900. 900. The
stamp tax on negotiable instru-
ments, stocks and bonds, deeds.
bills of fading, pullman car and
steamship tickets and insurance
policiea is expected to yield $780,
000, 900 and the remainder will be
raised by levy on tobacco, pa
tent medicines, perfumes, Co.'S
metics, theatre and amusement
tickets and etc. The beer tax
will yield a revenue more than
ten times greater than that of any
other single commodity.

BRAINS and A HEART.

A new Solomon has arisen 10
Chicago, but this Solomon has q
heart as we'll as wisdom. Chic
ago has a vast army of the un-
employed, and Coroner Peter
Hoffman has adopted the policy
of summoning his juries from
among unemployed men who have
families dependent upon them,
the men being required to give
satisfactory references in order to
avoid being imposed upon by
worthless loafers, The establish.
meut of this "bread line through

where it is most needed, and is q
practical as we'll as praiseworthy
expenditure of public funds. The
same policy might be pursued to

Mr.. Amede Tete, evidently

whelmingly democratic, as
he did not venture on ma.
jority naming, with any
certainty.
The most extravagant
claim made by Gueydan's
friends is, that he will come
to st. Mary from above, with
1850 majority (Vermillion
500; Iberia 15o; Lafayette
200; St. Martin 2oo). If
these figures are accurate,
Martins minimum majority
in the district ought to be
Zoo, according to the Demo
cratic view of the situation.
THE PROGRESSIVE VIEW.
Judge Martins friends
have spent most of the time
at work, apparently leaving
the hotel lobby elections in
the hands of the Democrats.
But strange to say, the
local, or voting democrats,
have less to say about these
big Gueydan majorities than
the visiting statesmen who
have been rushing through
the district.
According to the estimates
of Judge Martins friends,
he will come to st. Mary,
from below, with 1850 ma.
jority (Lafourche loco; Ter
rebonne $50; Assumption
2oo). We take the Lafourche
estimate from the democrats.
These figures overcome the
Gueydan majority in the
district bv 500. with st.
Mary out of the counting.
If all signs do not fail, st.
Mary will bring the Martin
majority to $50 in the dis
trict.
But we have at hand. some
revised figures which may be
interesting. For instance,
we have it from Vermillion,
that Gueydan's home parish
will give him $50 majority,
which reduces his majority
to 800 in the upper parishes.
It also comes to us from
iberia, that the Gueydan
majority in that parish is
more likely to have the minus
sign before the 15o claim.
This seems to reduce the up
per parishes Gueydan ma
jority to $50, which brings
Martins majority in the
neighborhood of 1850, inthe
district.
So it appears, that the
only way to beat Martin, is
for Gueydan's friends to dis
count Martins claims IS pei
cent ON election day, and te
hold Gueydan;s claims in
tact.
In using the term MAR
tins friends we have used
estimates from those who
deal in minimum figures.
We have used, not what il
generally termed ''conserva
tive" figures, but absolute
minimum figures.
| IF we consider claims OF
maximum estimates of the
Martin majorities, it leads
us to use the following

CHALLENGE FOR DEBATE


me clillths OF Snyuef ana sur

Of the facts relative to the challenge
made by Presiding Elder, Mr. bod.
son, to the Missionary Bnptlsts some
weeks ago II Is also known that tho
Pastor Of the Baptist church agreed
to discuss the matter Of Baptism with
Mr. Dodson. provided It be written
discussion This did not appeal ia
Mr.. Dodson.
When we saw the turn matters
had taken, we proposed to Mr.. bod
son: II you intend to include the
Church Of Christ In your challenge,
we accept your challenge and ask
that you arrange with Bro. C., r.
Nlchol and discuss the same ques-
lions you are to debate with him at
Fluyanna, Texas. Mr.. Dodson inform
ed Us that he did not intend to In
clude the Church Of Christ In his
challenge.
Tho debate between Bro. Nchol
and Elder DGdson at Fluyanna, Tex
as. closed July a. We instructed
Bro. Nlchol to arrange with Mr. bod
son to engage him In discussion at
Snyder II he could. Bro. Nichol made
an effort TO so arrange, but reported:
Mr. Dodson says he did not challenge
our people and that our people
/ have not challenged the
Methodist church at Snyder for a
discussion; and then added. II they
do, and the Methodist pastor, and
the leading members. az least some
Of them, invite me, win be glad to
engage you In discussion there
We are unable to understand why
It is that Mr. Dodson can challenge
the Baptsls for @ discussion, and
refuse TO challenge us We hold the
same position on the action OF Bap-
tism tho BaptIsts do. OF course 60 Is
his prorogatiye TO challenge The Bap-
lists and refuse TO include ms 100 his
challenge We wonder why he
makes the difference.
We are fully persuaded that Mr.
Dodson made some statements rela-
tive TO the action OF baptism that are
far from facts when ho contends
that sprlnkllng or pouring water on
q person is baptism he is badly mis-
takon. It Is not our intention to- ques-
ton the honesty Of Mr. Dodson but
be IS not informed when he makes
such statement

JreIand's Sionposts,

Ireland is the country for useless
signposts. During the last few years
there has been an outbreak OF Gaelic
League activity in the country. Among
other manifestations 1t has taken the
form of erecting signposts with Gaelic
inscriptions. There Is one such in the
little village of Omeath, in County
Louth. 1t directs the traveller to Car
lingford and to Newry-but it directs
him In an unknown tongue. 1t is not
easy to see what useful purposes Is
served by such a signpost. For the
inhabitant knows his way without any
such assistance and the English
speaking traveller is unable to find it
unless he. happens to consult one o!
the villagers, not one of whom-so far
as ! have been able to discover-can
either read or speak a single word OF

Inventor Of the Airbrake.

Who really invented the airbrake?
Certainly the automatic airbrake. the
one that has proved practicable and OF
permanent value in modern railroad
ing, was the product of the late George
Westinghouse ingenuity" His patent
for the automatic brake was taken out
in 1872, supersedfng the non-automatic
or straight Westinghouse airbrake
patented in 1869, and later the West
inghouse vacuum brake was invented.
But. as in the case Of most other in
ventions. there are several claimants
for originality In this field. Thus
Nine. NJ. Drouanet, daughter OF NJ.
Debruges of Paris, claims the distinc-
ton OF priority for her father. The
New York Times has a letter from
State Senator William p. Fiero of
White Plains containing patent office
declaration by his grandfather, Henry
Miller. Of new and useful improve
ment in the application Of steam and
compressed air to the purpose of op-
Grating railroad brakes" recorded jan

less a pioneer in the progress Of air
