BANK MAY REOPEN.

Mr.. Joe GottIieb, of the Louisiana
National Bank and the Louisiana Trust
& Savings Bank, of Baton Rouge, was
here Tuesday in conference with the
directors of the Farmers & Merchants
Bank and number of citizens in re-
gard to re-opening that institution.
Mr.. Gottlieb has faith in the future
of West Feliciana Parish and says he
firmly believes that a bank, properly
managed, will pay here, He agreed
to take over large block of the stock
of the bank and to become it's presi-
dent He offered the cashiership to
Mr. VIM. Kahn. Mr.. Kahn declined,
stating that he has been with M. & e.
Wolf for fourteen years, that his rela-
tions with them have always been
pleasant and that he would not care to
sever his connection with them, even
though offered a larger salary. Mr..
GottlleD then decided to choose a.
Baton Rouge man for the place.
Mr. Gottlieb imposed certain condi-
tons that are to be met by the old
board of directors of the bank before
he will begin business. These condi-
tons are in the line of good business
policy and there is apparently no
reason why they can not be complied
with in a few days. The board of
directors apprehend no difficulty in
meeting them, and there is good
reason to believe that the bank will
again be a going concern within a few
days.
Mr.. Gottlieb's idea is to conduct the
bank under it's present charter as a
state bank for a few months, then to
increase the capital stock to $4,000
and change to, a national bank

The body of Miss Ella Ball, who died
at her home in the second ward of this
parish, was brought here for burial, on
Sunday mornings train and rested in
Grace Church until two o'clock, the
hour for the funeral services. There
was quite large attendance of town
and country people to pay this tribute
of affection, or friendship, to the dead
and her surviving relatives. Miss Ball
was a member of one of the old parish
families, and though she seldom or
never left her country home, yet her
|sympathies were broad. She felt an
interest in the world and it's affairs,
while doing her duty modestly in the

DEATH OF plNckNEY JoHnson,Jr.
jackson Recoe d.)

The sudden death of Pinckney john
son, Jr., aged IL years, in New Orleans
on Saturday morning, was sad disap-
pointment to his loving home people
and the many friends to whom his
CHEEKY nature and winning ways had
endeared him. For six weeks he had
been in the hospital under medical
treatment for peculiar affection of
the throat, very rarely known to the
medical profession, and which demand
ed an operation, the result of which
was such that he succumbed suddenly.
His father and mother had spent much
of the time with him, and was with
him when the end came. The body
was brought up on the noon train,
Sunday, and was met at McManus by
his sorrowing family and crowd Of
neighbors and friends, and borne to
the Methodist Church, where the
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. S. l.. Riggs. A large concourse of
friends followed the body to its last
resting place in the Jackson Cemetery.
Pinokney was school boy here.
Full of vigor and amiable, he made
friends who have followed him with
good wishes in his endeavor to fight
for himself the battle of life, and many
hearts are saddened that the con-
queror Death has laid him low.
To the family the sympathy of The
Record is extended. May the hope of
"a meeting in a brighter world cheer
these artbroken ones.

Supplementing the above account of

duced from our Feliciana Record of
Jackson, it is of interest to note that
the bride wore copenhagen blue mes
saline, made with long tunic open to
show the front of the skirt, and with
Medici collar of white organdy. Her
hair was very becomingly arranged.
Misses Anna May Connell and Rosalie
Richardson served as bridesmaids, pre-
ceding the brides entrance into the
parlor.
The supper was particularly delicious,
and was the occasion of much merry
making. Owing to the sudden rise of
the creeks, the entire wedding party
of twenty-one persons was detained
over night at the Maryman home. The
bride and groom came to town, next
morning, and were guests for the day
of his father, DR.. w. H. Taylor, leaving
in the afternoon for their home in
Baton Rouge. The brides going-away
gown was of tango broadcloth with
handsome hat of black. The young
couple received a large number OF
presents. Both are popular in home
society, and the fondest good wishes
go forth for their happiness and
prosperity.

PLEASING PROPHECY


Topeka, Kans., April 23.-fBy the
advancement of science of living, the
teaching of preventive medicine to
every one, the care of children's food,
sanitation, and proper food and cloth
ing for adults, will almost double the
span of life throughout the country in
the next few decades" is the opinion
of DR.. S. ]. Crumbine, secretary of
the State Board of Health, who is fur
ther quoted: I'm the last decade the
life of man has been extended ten
years by the advancement of science
and the publicity given to preventive
medicine and measures. In the next
century it will not be unusual to see
people $50 years old any more than
at present we see them eighty years
old. In three years Kansas spent
thirty thousand dollars in a tubercu-
losis publicity campaign, and in that
period the annual death rate from this
disease was reduced 412 deaths each
year. The work done had much to do
with saving these 412 lives each year
In Rochester, n Y, baby campaign
was conducted for one year and the
deaths of babies were reduced 300 in
that time, at cost of $6,000."

SAYS UNION
SHOP PROTECTS

Duluth, April 23.-The Painters of
this city have abandoned all hopes of
maintaining living conditions under
the non-union shop system, which was
forced o them by a lockout several
years ago, and they are now on strike
for the recognition of their union and
union methods. The local has strug-
gled to maintain fair conditions, but
after an experience of nearly six years,
they have quit in disgust, and win no
longer be party TO the price-cutting
system enforced on them by employ
ers because of the number of nonun-
ionists employed. This price-cutting.
the strikers say, was done in secret
and the claim of employers that even
union men were guilty of favoring the
practice engendered suspicion and dis
cord throughout the entire industry.

ready to fight for peace that viii be-
assured under the old conditions,

THE STRIKE MOVEMENT IN RUSSIA

a goodly number of workers took part
in the strike. The number of strikes
with economic demands as we'll as the
number of persons involved shows
great increase. While in January of
the years 1912 and 1918 he number
of stries was 1900 and 1880 respec-
lively, the number for this January
was well over 200 and certain strik-
es have not been included on account
of lack of details The insurance
strikes" which were the result of dis
putes between the employers and the
authorities in connection with the ad-
ministration of the Insurance Act,
stand out very clearly. Such Strikes
are Of frequent occurrence, ending,
however, in most cases without re-
suit. A decidedly negative result must
be reported in the case of the strikers
in the three great Moscow factories,
which lasted one month, and at~the
termination of which 200 workers
were victimized. A further "insur-
ance" strike took place in St. Peters
burg in the ready made clC ling in
dustry as result of tho. .nissal Of
Ii representatives of IA workers.
This strike, which affected 1000 en-
ployees in the factory concerned, end
ed unsuccessfully. Several thousand
workers in the shipyards of the Mix
olajew went on strike as a protest
against the arrest of the representa-
tive of the workers in the sick funde
The various strikes, certain of which
were remarkable on account of the
time they lasted, terminated in most
cases, without the desired result
Among these may be specially men
toned the strike in the Obuchowski
Works of the Military Administration
in St. Petersburg, which lasted GO
days, affected 5000 workers; this
strike terminated January Both.
+ The present political regime Is re-
sponsible in the first place for the
lamentable results of the strikes, for
the workers are deprived of all posi-
biliies of defending themselves against
the destructive and demoralizing vase
of energy by means of well planned
preparations, meetings, Organization,
&c. The Government, aided by the
employers does it's best to deprive the
workers of the fruit of their mighty
efforts.
The revival of the strike movement
among the textile workers in the
Polish provinces, LODI, Sdunska,
VIOLA, Zawerce, &C., is significant. Here
the results of the strikes are general
~ speaking, more favorable than in
Russia proper, thanks to the better or
ganization and discipline o fthe work
