The Knocker.

After God had finished making
the rattlesnake, the toad and the
vampire, He had some awful SUBJ
stance left over, with which He
made a knocker. A knocker is a
two-legged animal with a cork
screw soul, a watersogged brain
a n d a combination backbone
made of jelly and glue. Where
other people have their hearts
ne carries tumor of rotten prin-
ciples. When the knocker comes
down the street honest men turn
their backs, the angels in Heaven
take refuge behind their harps,
the devil barlocks the gates of
hell. Exchange.

Rock Hill Community.

The writer is especially inter
ested in the movement that is
on foot in this community, in the
way of building a church house
for the benefit of public worship.
For a long time the christian S
home has been limited to an open
Tabernacle. which was poorly
equipped for winter service, and
therefore we had but little SER
vice. This allowed the warm
christian to grow cold in winter
and allow satan to creep in and
do his work when the christian
was homeless and almost defense
less. | trust that the hand that
is guiding the work of this christ
ian movement will not be him
dered until this work is thorough
ly completed.
Notwithstanding the pinch of
times brought about by the Euro
pean war, people of this and
other localities have contributed
freely to this cause. | feel sure
that the strong men who are
pushing this cause along, have
nc other purpose in view than to
advance Gods cause, and to reap
a reward which God alone can
give. Let us join hands. in this
movement and crowd satan on
of the hearts of the people, es-
tablish christianity, brotherly
love and association, which should
be our guiding star in every per-
sonal or community deal of ours.
A WELLWISHER.

Punchboards Prohibited by Law.

The Shreveport Times of Dec.
l, says: In a decision handed
down yesterday by Associate
Justice A. D. Land of the State
Supreme Court, the decision of
the lower court holding that
punchboards are prohibited by
the Louisiana lottery law, is up
held.
A test case, with Ralph Kahn
as the defendant, was first tried
before Judge Cal C. Blanchard
of the city court, who decided
against Kahn. The case was
then carried into the district
court and Judge John R. Land
affirmed Judge Blanchard.s de-
cision. Calm was fined $40 and
costs in the city court.
On a writ of certiorrari, the
case was taken to the Supreme
Court by Attorneys Wilkinson
and Looney and the case has been
finally settled in favor of the
prosecution. This means that
punch boards in this city must
go.
Attorneys Scheen and Blanch-
ard, together with District At
torney W. A. Mabry, represent
ed the State in the controversy.

The war in Europe for this
week has been confined mainly
to the eastern theater of HOSTILE
ties. Accounts of the fighting
are meagre, but operations must
have been on the most gigantic
scale. Russian advices claim
that all told they have captured
about 60, 900 Germans and Aus
TRANS during the week, while
the Germans and Austrians claim
that they have captured 100, 900
Russian prisoners.

JEFF Davis Parish Stays '.Dry" by 500
Majority.

|
Majority.
The Shreveport Journal of Dec
2 says: The new parish of JEFF
Davis, carved from Imperial Cal
casieu by legislative act two years
ago, decided Tuesday to stay ir
the dry column.
After a bitterly fought cam.
paign lasting three months, the
saloon forces went down to de-
feat by an Overwhelming MAORI
ty, amounting to between zoe
land 500 votes. The number of
ballots cast was the largest on
record, with the exception of the
vote on section of the new par
ish seat.
Rev. A. w. Turner, superin-
tendent of the Louisiana branch
of the anti-saloon league, who
took a prominent part in the jeff
Davis campaign, reached his
Shreveport headquarters We'd
nesday morning, and reported
that the contest was one of the
hardest ever fought out in the
State of Louisiana. The saloon
lists brought in a number of out
siders to help in the speechmak-
ing, and spent a barrel of money,
including $1,000 put up to cover
the expense of holding the local
option election, but the voters of
the parish refused to take their
advice.
The final night of the cam
paign," said DR.. Turner, each
side had mass meetings, held
block of each other. We
had about 5000 people present,
and the vets had about $50 up to
the time our meeting adjourned;
then some of our folks went down
to hear what the anti speakers
mad to say for their cause"
The city CT Jennings, the larg-
,st in the parish, gave dry ma
ority of more than one hundred. |
The only town in the parish car
led for the return of saloons was
lake Arthur, where a wet ma
ority of two votes was polled.

Democrats Hold Balance of Power.

The u. S. Congress will as.
semble on Monday, Dec. Z. Full
returns from the late elections
indicate that the Democratic ma.
Jority iii the House of Represen.
tatives will be reduced to q OF
"a. The Democratic majority in
the Senate is said to be ID. This
gives the Democrats safe work
ing majority in both branches of
Congress.
The biggest Republican gains
were Ii i'll Illinois, IL in New
York, 10 in Pennsylvania, and 9
in Ohio. Progressive represen-
tation in the House was cut from
IS to 8. This resulted from the
general collapse of the Progress
sives throughout the country, ex-
cept in California and Louisiana.
The Democrats have elected 229
members, Republicans 1876, Pro-
10, and the Socialists
have elected one lonely member,
who will have a great time flock
ing by himself.

Gave $500 to the Ruston Orphanage.
Several weeks ago, at a rally
held here by the Sunday school,
of the First Methodist church,
the Sunday school offering was
donated to the Methodist Orphan
age at Ruston, and among the
donations was one of $1,000,
made by C. w. Blair, a local
capitalist, on condition that an
other 81, 900 would be raised.
Before the day was over Mr..
Blair reconsidered his conditional
offer and made the donation out
right.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Blair wei t
over to Ruston to attend a meet
ing of the board of directors of
the institution and was a dinner
guest of the orphans in the home
that had been erected for them
by the Methodists of the State.
A trip through the home re-
vealed to Mr.. Blair just what a
great institution the orphanage
was; what a great work Supt.
Vaughn was doing, and the fur
Their needs of the institution.
On returning to Shreveport
Mr.. Blair wrote Supt. Vaughn
that he had decided to increase
his donation to $500, leaving on
ly $500 to be raised to clear the
orphanage of it's present indebt-
edness, which is due and payable
January l.
He also assured the superin-
tendent that he believed the bal
ance of the Indebtedness would
be cared for by Shreveport peo-
pie if it could not be obtained
elsewhere before it became due.
