WALTERS IS FREED BY COURT
Ordered Freed by Supreme
Court Who Says Law is Valid

Holding invalid the law under
which William c. Walters was
recently convicted at OpelonsaS
of kidnapping little Robert Dun
bar, the Louisiana SUPREME
Court Monday ordered Walters
released. In attempting to amend
an existing law in 1910, relating
to KIDNAPPING the Legislature
rendered the amended law un-
constitutional, the court held, by
the phraseology of the title of
the new law. The court ordered
that the verdict and sentence
against Walters be set aside and
that he be discharged from fur
ther prosecution under the
statute.

Caldwell Parish Is Lined Up
Solidly Against Tax Scheme

Baton Rouge, La, June &c.
Just back from Caldwell parish.
Representative McCl a n a h a n
made it known Monday that the
people of his parish are a unit
in their opposition to Governor
Halls tax and assessment
schemes.
my people are opposed to
these schemes to a man, and /
am going to fight them all | can,'
said the North Louisianian.
'They don't like the idea of TAX
ing the assessment power away
from the parish and putting it in
the hands Of appointees made by
the governor, and under the
governors control at Baton
Rouge, for one thing. Then
again, they are opposed to max
ling our elective officials, the as
ssssor, whom we elect at the
polls, subject to the pleasure Of
appointive power. 1t is a wrong
principal and a anger ou s
scheme.
Mr.. McClanahan explained
that his feeling toward the gov
ernor on account of broken
promises in the Alexandria CAPT.
) toll fight has nothing to do with
:, his opposition to the governors
tax schemes.

The Same Old Question

Does the moon in its different
stages have any effect on the
planting of corn or other crops!
Is there a certain time to cut
male animals? Do COWS have
hollow horn or tail?
The time to plant any crop is
when you have done your part
in the preparation Of the soil,
and the season for planting has
come. The moon does not care
when you plant and has not the
slightest effect on the planting.
The time to castrate pigs is when
you have a sharp knife and know
how to do the work right, and
the younger the better.
All COWS have hollow horn
and a soft place in their tail
Sometimes they get sick from
bad feeding or some other Gauss
land may need treatment, but a
iholl6w horns and a soft place i
the tail are natural to ever
COW, these cannot be the caus
of their sickness. Now thes
questions have all been answer
ed time and again, but you wi
> find farmers everywhere WIN
think they know better, but yo
will find farmers who have bee
trained in agriculture at tn
schools are getting rid of thes
old superstitions, and they ar

pEDDLER ELUDES NEGROES
Armed With Axes, In Hold.up

Grant Smith and Ed Wade, ne
groes, attempted to rob and muir
der George Mike, an Asyrian
peddler, Wednesday of last week
at Copenhagen.
The negroes met the peddler in
the road and being armed with
clubs and axes they ordered him
to halt. The peddler lodged be-
hind a tree and one Of the ne
groes threw his ak. Mike, car
rying his pack, out run the two
assailants. In pursuit, one OF the
assailants fell in a ravine. The
attact was abandoned.
The peddler made it in safely
to Grayson where he reported
the attack made on him, which
was Immediately telephoned
to Sheriff Godfrey. In a few
minutes Mr.. Godfrey and his
deputy John HUMPHREYS were
enroute to where the attack was
made and in a short while the
two negroes were in the hands
of our sheriff and boundries OF
the law.
The grand jury was in session
and true bills against the ne
groes were found before Sheriff
Godfrey and his deputy arrived
with the two assailants. The
virdict of the grand jury was
that the negroes were lying in
wait with attempt to commit
ROBBERY. This was quick work and
shows how the officers of Cald'
we'll parish are dispatching their
duties and are, at all times,
found on their jobs, ready to ACT
and capture violators of the law.
The negroes will be tried at
the July term of criminal court
which will meet in Columbia on
| Monday July IL.

McCLANAHAN'S PRESENT
Makes Speech When Alexan'
dr;a's Gift is Made in House

Representative McClanahan OF
Caldwell was presented Wednes-
day of last week with gold
headed umbrella, presented TO
him by Representative Hunter OF
Rapides in behalf of the Alex
andria Chamber of Commerce
for his good work of the capital
removal bill. In accepting in the
House, Representative McClana-
han said:
81 accept this token Of esteem
and friendship from the dear
good people of Alexandria, pre-
sented to me by one of their
able representatives, with a
deeper feeling of appreciation
than words can possibly express.
whenever a representative
of the people is called to dis
charge a given duty and in its
performance does what he be-
lieves is best for the people OF
the state, a certain sense OF sat-
isfaction possesses him in the
knowledge of a duty we'll done.
What must be his feelings when
he is given such physical evil
dence as this token bears, that
the people whom he served even
in the face of defeat recognized
that he loyalty stood for their
rights. The token OF your es-
TEEN, my friends, will be sacred
, ly kept by me and left as a heri-
v tage to my children as a remind
4 er that the people of Alexandria,
representing all that is brave
n and generous in Louisiana, have
|. seen fit to honor me.
n Il am proud Of the position
'e assumed in the capital fight, bu'
rs I am doubly proud Of the fac
in that was Alexandrla's stand
y ard-bearer in this importan
'e move which, l am sure will final
Sc ly result in victory for Alexan
r. dria, and | hope it will leave NJ
i'll scars upon Baton Rouge. I,
10 my friends of this House,
~ thank you from the depths o
N my heart for assisting me il
le achieving this honor. To tn
Sc noble, brave, and true citizen
re of Alexandria, l again than
e. them, not alone for myself, bu

The FLAG MADE Him WEEP

the sons of the members of the
association, Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, late charged affairs of
the United States at the City of
Mexico, and still in the diploma
tic service, told the six hundred
diners at the Wardorf some
thing of his experiences in Mex
leo, ending with his breaking in
to tears at the sight Of the Unit
ed States flag floating at Vera
Cruz.
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy said: i
left the City of Mexico in a train
conveyed by two hundred troops,
or a hundred and fifty troops
and several motor cars, because
we expected some trouble in get
ting over that part Of the
country where the track had
been torn up on the retirement
of the Mexican forces from Vera
Cruz. However, we did not have
to use the motor cars excepting
once.
II was met at the break in
the track by Captain Hughes,
Admiral Fletcher's chief OF
staff, and they advanced down
the track toward us with the
white flag. The white flag did
not inspire a great deal Of en-
thusiasm, but | was conveyed in
to the American lines, and tell
you, gentlemen, | won't say
what | felt, but | was glad to
get there.
after my arrival in Vera
Cruz the ceremony occurred OF
the raising of the flag OF the
United States over the quarters
occupied by the representative
of the United States embassy
by Admiral Fletcher.
"I want the young members
of this association to realize
what that flag represents, and
what impression and effect it
made upon me. The marines and
blueiackets in white this was a
warm country advanced, and
the band played The Star
spangled Banner and the flag
was allowed to float to the
breeze. tell you, gentlemen,
I am not especially weak Il have
my moments, but ! am not gen
orally weak but | assure YOU
when | saw that flag floating, tn
emblem of the United States,
broke down and wept, tears roll
