White VS.. McClanahan.

The above styled case which IS
now pending on the docket OF
the district court Of CaldWell
parish, has acquired such a wide
notoriety in the parish, that
almost every person who is
Old enough to read and think
has become enlisted in interest
on one side or the other, and any
fact or circumstance eftectlng
either or both of the parties to
the litigation is of more or less
interest to every citizen OF the
parish. Therefore, wholly as a
matter of news, The Waterman
published the article which the
Grayson Ledger reproduced in
last week. issue under the head
ing In Defence of Mr.. White. "
In the article, The Waterman
neither undertook to defend or
prosecute Mr.. White, but simply
printed what it had reason to
believe to be true concerning him,
but without any interest or de-
sire to injure him or do him even
the slightest injustice. Up to
this time, however, there has
been nothing written or publish
Ell to cause The Waterman to be-
come shaken in it's faith in the
truth of what it said concerning
Mr.. White.
But why all this fuss and
feathers? Whether the state
ment be true or untrue, it cannot
possibly effect the status of Mr..
Whites suit against Mr.. Nc
Clanahan, for it matters not how
cruel he may be to his children
or to others as for that matter. /

In regard to the editorial in
the Grayson Ledger referring to
the interview The Waterman
had with Mr.. Mackley, is a mat
ter that does not concern the
Sainted Ledger, and we deem it
unworthy of comment, but will
add: That we have known men
to make a good living by attend
ing to their own business and
letting other peoples things
alone.

lsing Mr.. McClanshan II ne
Jade an unprovoked assault upon


made an unproyoked assault upon
him.
The real truth of the matter is,
that the Hon. Geo. Wear, Jr.,
came into The Waterman Office
and demanded that we publish a
retraction of the article, accom-
panied by a threat of suit for
libel and SANDER if we did not.
We have been in the newspaper
business many years, and there
never has been an occasion when
we have been bullied or bluffed
into making a retraction, but
when approached in the proper
spirit, we are always ready to
correct an error, but we cannot
be coerced into Going such a thing
by threats of prosecution for
SANDER, etc.
Now, as to the letter of Mr.G.O.
Nation, published in the Grayson
Ledger, we want to caution our
readers to take it with many
grains of allowance, for we have
a suspicion that it is not written
from a wholly unbiased stand
point. In fact, we are reliably

counsel for Mr.. White in his suit

will share equally with the Hon.
Geo. Wear, Jr., in the fee, if
they should be so fortunate as to

That We are in possession of this
list of information will, no doubt.
be a great surprise to counsel
for Mr.. White.

COAL OIL EXPLODES

Fayetteville, Ark.-That coal oil sometimes forms a gas which is as explosive and deadly as gasoline is a act not known to many persons. Dr. c. c. Carroll, head of the Depart ment of Chemistry in the University of Arkansas, was recently called as an expert witness in a case that was tried in eastern Oklahoma. A grocery company had sold some coal oil and woman took a can of it with the cap of the can off and poured some of the oil on live coals to start the fire. An explosion followed and the woman was burned to death. The claim advanced by the plaintiffs in the case was that coal oil alone would not explode and that this coal oil must have contained gasoline, but Dr. CarroPs testimony convinced the jury that coal oil pour ed from a can with the cap off on live coals might easily cause an ex- plosion.

sees to it that the patient sticks to the diet' The patient does not like the diet. He continues to feel bad for awhile. All of a sudden he takes q turn for the better and feels like his original self
 During the period of his dieting he frequently planes the physician be- cause he has not been cured overnight of ills that are the result of long over indulgence. This complaining condi- ton Is just what some of the business men are suffering from at present. They have not the clearness of vision to understand that a rigid application of the treatment prescribed will bring about complete cure.
 Another thing these critics of the President should bear in mind. That is that the President has exerted every Influence possible to have the laws af- fecting business passed as rapidly as possible. He has said from the first that the new rules for the conduct of business should be drafted as soon as possible and put upon the statute books in order that the business world might know exactly where it stands
 Efforts to delay the passage of the currency and trust bills have been un- avaiing. The President knew that they must be passed and also knew that the sooner they were passed the sooner uncertainty would be removed from the minds of business men. When his program is completed and the business interests realize what he has done for them they will sound his praises for years and years to come.
 "A few of the most long headed business men have understood his pur- poses from the first and have aided him to the extent of their ability. They are the ones who will be able to say I told you SO when the great change for the good comes."

CORN SMUT AND ITS CONTROL

Wherever corn has been grown for period of years the well-known disease known as "corn smut will be found to have established itself. Its distri- button, therefore, is very wide. Con- siderable losses, sometimes averaging as high as 5 per cent are sustained by American corn growers and not lnfrequently the losses in some sec tions of the country run as high as 25 per cent.
 The corn-smut disease is caused by parasitic fongus which produces its spore masses in the form of smut bolls Tn the ear; along the stalk, par ticularly at the nodes or joints, and less frequently within the leaves and tassel. These boils or spore masses are surrounded by membrane of fun gus tissue mixed with cells of the host. Upon drying out, large numbers of microscopic roudnish spores are lib erated. These are capable of retain ing their germinating power over win ter or longer. They germinate readily In water or upon any suitable moist medium and produce great numbers of minute secondary spores which are easily carried by wind from one part of the field to another or from field to field
 Carefully conducted experiments covering several years of research both in America and Europe indicate that corn smut infection takes place at time or times following the ap- pearance of the host plant above ground and may develop in any deli cate growing part of the corn plant. Usually no evidence of infection is noticeable until the plant is foot or more high.
 Unlike oat smut or the stinking smut of wheat, or the covered smut of barley, corn smut can be controlled by any known method of seed treatment. Infection apparently does not take place at time of sprouting nor for some time following the appearance of the young plant above ground. From the nature of the type of infec- tion it is therefore obvious that the disease can be controlled only by the removal and burning of the smutted stalks. This method, however, is practicable only when corn is grown on a limited scale.
 There seems to be considerable diff ference of opinion as to the effect pro- duced upon cattle or other stock when fed upon corn or corn fodder contain ing smut. It is doubtful, however, whether corn smut ever produces any direct toxic or poisonous effects upon animals eating it either with grain or

"In summing up the remarkable achievements of the Wilson adminis- tration there is so much to take into account that one finds 1t difficult to hit upon any salient feature that stands out prominently. One thing, however. that is least understood throughout the country at this time is that the President has accomplished and is accomplishing wonderul things or the American business man."
 This is the statement of Senator William E. Hughes, of New Jersey, who, for the past four years, has been one of President Wilson's closest ad- visers. Senator Hughes, was allied with the President in the reform work in New Jersey when Mir. Wilson first became governor of that State. Since leaving the House for the Senate he has become one of the most prominent members of the committee on finance and, as suhc has represented tfe President in committee and on the floor of the Senate.
 "A determined effort has been made, ever since the President started ct to back up the Democratic House in its work on tariff reform, and continuing through his fight for currency reform md trust regulation. to make the people of the country feel that he was menace to business Mr. Wilson has been called a theorist and a radical so pronounced as to be unsafe.
 "So far this campaign against him has failed to hurt him, either with Democrats in the Senate and the House who are of conservative incl;na- uons, or with the great mass of the people. This is because the members of the House ard Senate who have had the good fortune to be in the Presidents confidence understood his viewpoint and the deep principles which underlay his plans. The people of the country have absolute faith in ms sincerity of purpose and his clear ness of vision and are willing to trust nm, even though they do not, at times understand his attitude.
