For the information of those
who may not know that there is
such a law, we publish below the
law of Loisiana relative to short
weights and measures.
Section a, Act 8 of 1878: That
whoever shall falsely and know
ing sell any merchandise or pro-
duce by short weights or meas
ures, shall on conviction thereof,
be imprisoned at hard labor for a
period not exceeding two years
and fined not exceeding two thou
sand dollars, at the discretion of
the court.

Orleans fight on the 18th of Sep
TENDER, 1874, and also about
Flowers and Ward and their
Democratic" campaign in 1876.
On March IA, last past. we re-
produced "A History of the Col
fax Riot, which we wrote and
published in the Chronicle of
June 3, 1882. Our data for that
article was gained principally
from persons who took part in
the Colfax Riot, and from files
of the N. o. Bulletin, to which
we had access. At some future
time we will print what Flowers
and Ward have to say about the
matter, because it is rally re-
markable how truthful and fair
these rascals became in 1876 to
tell about their dirty work in
1873. Their report of the Incl
dents agrees with and largely
substantiates the account as we
have it. written. Coming from
the Republican side, by negroes
taking part in all of the details,
their account will be found to
accord almost perfectly with the
Democratic account of the affair
as we have it recorded.

QuadrenniaI Methodist Conference.

The seventeenth quadrennial session
or general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church South, convened in
St Luke's Methodist church at Oklaho-
ma City Wednesday morning May 6.
The conference will extend over three
weeks. Bishop Wilson, senior member
of the Bishopric, called the body to or
der and announced the devotional ser.
vice.
In presiding over the conference,
Bishop Wilson used gavel sent by
Mrs. Scroggs, daughter of the late Bis
hop Paine. made from wood Of the bis
hops favorite cedar tree.
Bishop w. L. Waite -house, of Los
Angeles read the opening hymn care
We Yet Alive?" and the opening prayer
was offered by Bishop w. B. Murrah,
of Jackson, Miss. Bishops Collins Den
ny, of Richmond, and John C. Kilgo of
Durham, N. c., read the scriptural les

H. McClain of the north Texas confer

The roll call showed more than $50
out of 1893 accredited delegates in at
tendance.
Hundreds of delegates and visitors
packed ST. Luke's church when the con-
ference was formally convened by Bis
hop A. w. Wilson, senior bishop of the
church. Interest conferred in the ad-
dress of the bishops, reviewing the
work of the past four years and con-
tanning recommendation for the consi,.-
Grafton of the conference. especially
that portion in reference to the Wander
bilt University controversy.
After reviewing the history of the
litigation over Vanderbilt, from the
time the control of the university by
the church was first questioned in 1905
TO the Tennessee supreme court decision
last month, holding that the church had
no control over the school, the address
declared:
'The decree of the court leaves to
the church mere shadow of connec-
ton with the university which, in our
opinion, does not justify the church in
any attempt to direct the affairs of the
or assume any responsibility
for it."

Columbia Will Connect With ColfaA
Model Road.

The police jury of Caldwell
parish met Monday. May a, and
ordered an election in ward A on
issuing $780, bonds to build a
section of the Columbia Colfax
highway to the parish line. There
appears no doubt that the tax
proposition will be carried. This
work will be carried forward in
connection with the State high
way department, which has
agreed to help build the road.
The police jury also ratified the
action of its president in signing
a contract jointly with the State
highway department for the first
mile of the road leading out of
Columbia. The State is to pay
$4,000 as its part of this contract.
This work is well under way.

Item editorially says:
Peculiarly disgraceful it is that,
while the power of the federal govern
ment is exerted to establish order in q
foreign land, one of our own common
wealths permits to be bred within its
limits savage war of its own. Colo
RADIO is to-day the scene of strife more
bloody, for'the numbers engaged, than
that in Mexico, and no Mexican ever
committed an outrage more like the act

tendent, his assistant, two women and
a baby in burning mine. These peo-
pie were rescued, but not by the riot

is it any wonder that the American
Federation of Labor has steadfastly re-
fused to affiliate with the |. w. w.!
Is it wonder that the sawmill operat-
ors OF the South two years ago opposed
turning over their business to this or
ganization? Is it wonder that the
employer sometimes hesitates before
he is willing to accept the spirit of un-

in Colorado fail to aid the workmen and
only help to create feeling antagonis-
TIC to the organizations that are faii

History of the Colfax Riot.

The Pollock Progress-News, ir
its last two issues of April "a anG

cles. reproduced from the New
Orleans Democrat of Oct. 5, 1876,
giving a very truthful version of
the Colfax Riot, as related by E.
H. Flowers and VIM. Ward, two
OF the most violent and rufian
negro Republican leaders in that
conflict. The two rascals saved
their lives by making themselves
scarce when the fight came off
in 1873, and afterward made DO
litical capital of their knowledge
by joining in with the Democrats
in 1876, and working and making
speeches in behalf Of Nichols
and Witt the Democratic candi-
dates for governor and lieuten-
ant governor. Flowers and Ward
made great hit in that cam
paign with the negroes, many of
whom were induced by their
speeches to vote the Democratic
ticket.

Winn Parish Police Juror Sent to Pen.

4
A WINFIELD special of May 6 announc
ed that j. L. Brewton, member OF tn
Winn parish police jury and its forme
president, has been sentenced by Dis
trict Judge Cass Moss to serve fou
years and half in the State peniten
tiary on three charges of obtainin,
money by false pretenses. Seven case.
against Brewton were nolle prosecuted
To escape trial on all of the charge.
against him, as it was manifestly the
intention of the State to dispose of the
ten cases by successive jury trials,
Brewton, through his counsel, agreed
not to appeal from the three convic-
tons recorded against him and to &C.
cept sentence.
The agreement was reached just af-
ter Brewton had been convicted, for
the third time within two days, of de-
frauding the parish in connection with
the performance of his duties as po-
lice juror. Immediately after this con-
viction, a jury of five was drawn to try
Brewton fourth time for embezzle-
ment, the previous trials having been
for obtaining money by false pretenses,
an offense of less gravity than the mis-
appropriation of public funds.
Judge Moss gave Brewton two years
on the first charge, eighteen months on
the second and twelve months on the
third. He was remanded to prison to
await transportation to Baton Rouge.
Until the VIM parish grand jury in
dicted Brewton for defrauding the par
ish, he was one of the most highly re-
spected and popular young men in his
section. He had been for ten years a
member of the police jury and several
years ago served as its president.
Brewton is IS years of age, has wife
and two children and is farmer of the
Coldwater neighborhood. There is a
