The Fourth of July was celebrated
in several towns in St. Tammany par
ish, with considerable preparation
for general good time. The usual
rainy 4th of July weather prevailed
and succeeded in discouraging many
of those who had anticipated attend
ing one or the other of the celebra-
tions. Nevertheless the occasions
drew pretty fair crowds. At Slidell
the speakers were Judge JOS B. Ian
caster and Representative F. J.
Heintz. Sheriff T. E. Brewster. Cor
oner L. C. Heintz, DR.. B. B. Warren,
and T. Gabriel were among Coving-
ton visitors.
The Abita Springs celebration at
tracted more than usual interest, by
reason of the fact that Mayor Bordes
had just been sworn in as mayor.
having received his commission from
Governor Hall the day before, and it
was anticipated tnat the situation
might develop some friction in the
proceedings. But beyond the refer
ence by ex-Mayor Glisson to q Judge
made mayor" things passed of very
smoothly. Mayor Bordes, anticipat-
ing that Mr.. Glisson intended using

the intersection of the Houltonville
road.
Will Hines and Woodson Perkins
are negroes. They live about a
quarter of q mile apart, between
Lewisburg and Houltonville, at In
dian Camp. Sometimes they work
at the Houlton mills and sometimes
at Poitevent & Favre's. Perkins is
q widower with three children, a boy
IL and two girls probably IA ant
16 years, respectively. Hines lived
with his son, about IL years of age.
His wife works in New Orleans.
The Brewster party was joined by
Jos. NJ. Smith, Marshal Philip Smith,
Turner Smith, Emile Viol and Nick
Placia. Hines place was visited
first, with little success. They then
went to Perkins house. Perkins sat
in front of the house in charge of
Sheriff Brewster, while the others
searched the premises. Perkins
played the good niger" He was
very nervous and fidgeted about.
Brewster asked him what was the
matter. He said: Nothing; only
you folks is causin' me lots of
trouble" Every once in a while he
would repeat, you folks is causin
me lots of trouble" About this time
shouts were heard from the search
ers. Each time these shouts were
repeated Perkins became more nerv-

gan to collect ON his face and run
down his neck Every once in a

from antrax. 1t is also obviously
unsafe to have such vaccine injected
by a layman, instead, it should be
handled only by. a competent veteri-
marian.
2. Kill and exterminate all buzz
yards, carrion crows and opossums,
and eliminate all stray dogs and
stray hogs, and also keep your stock
as much as possible away from low
swampy places, avoiding cutting any
grass for hay in such low and
swampy places where stagnated wat
or may be found or has been stand
ing for q long time. The foregoing
are the main causes Of the spread of
the disease.
3. Burn all dead carcasses of all
animals where they drop, If possible.
Do not drag them over the ground
without carefully disinfecting ground
dragged over.
4. And the most important to as
sist in stamping out the disease. In
the early spring, March preferably,
in localities where previous out
breaks have occurred, all owners OF
live stock should band together and
have all of their live stock inoculat-
ed against charbon. By this band
ing together for early incubation
work can be done more cheaply and
more effectively in. the stamping out
Of the dread disease; this should be
done every spring for few years,
and charbon will practically have
been eliminated from st. Tammany
parish. Under the present day sys-
tenn Of scientific research 1t would be
no more Of q disgrace for person
to have body lice than to allow his
live stock to be infested and infected
with Texas tick. charbon and hog
cholera.
While it is part Of the parish farm
demonstrators work to assist In the
eradication and stamping out Of the
above mentioned evils, much valu-
able time and valuable stock IL often
lost, owing partly to the inability Of
the demonstrator to be at every
place when needed, but the gravest
error can perhaps be attributed to
live stock owners themselves In Civ
ing but little head and being indif-
ferent Of action until just ut the last
minute. A great deal Of trouble
could be avoided by needing some Of
the above gugGeetions.

Renewed Offensive by Ger
mans Expected in Both
Theaters of War
COSTLY ADVENTURE
IN ARGONNE FOREST
French Line Dented by a Violent At
tack But Later Restored - Persis-
tent Reports That Turkey Is Anx-
iOus for Separate Peace.

LONDON, July 14.-For more than a
week now the Austro-German offensive in
Galicia and Poland has been hanging fire
while the Russians, their center having
fallen back on "A more advantageous line,
apparently are awaiting the next move of
the Teutonic forces
Fresh ammunition and reinforcements
may bring a sudden revival of activity in
this war theater But meantime the
western front, by reason of the uncertain
ty as to which side plans general often
siyc, will offer the greatest possibilities of
interesting developments.
The French claim that their front in the
Argonne forest, after being dented by a
violent attack by the army of the Crown
Prince has been restored, the net result
being a costly adventure for the Germans,
but the offensive at this point leaves the
British press to speculate whether the Ar
gonnc or the Woevre districts will not be
selected for a general German offensive
rather than the battle ground in Elan
dcrs.
Many reports from Balkan sources re
vive the rumors that Turkey is weary oi
the war and anxious for a separate peace
As to these reports, some of the London
press profess to believe that they are not
improbable in that Turkey is beginning
to feel the pinch of ammunition shortage
in the Dardanelles by virtue of Rumania'
refusal to allow munitions to cross her
borders

THINK BALKAN STATES
MAY REMAIN NEUTRAL
Entente Circles Confident They Won't
Join Austro- Germans, Despite
Russian Set Back.

LONDON, July 14.-The Balkan sit
uation is again to the fore as a result
of the disclosures that the Austro-Ger-
mans have offered Rumania alternative
concessions, either to continue neutral
Or Join with the Germanic allies.
Confidence is expressed in British,
French and Italian circles that the
Balkan states will not join the Austro-
Germans, but it is considered likely
that, owing to the failure of Russia to
hold Galician and Bukowina, they may
decide to remain neutral. OF course,
success by the allies in the Dardanelles,
where they are unoffieially reported to
have gained further Turkish trenches,
would change the situation.
1t is also said that the former Greek
Premier, Eleutherios Venizelos, in ex-
pectation of his return to power, has
arranged to reorganize the Balkan al
lance, of which he was the initiator.
NJ. Vcnizelos has been a supporter of
Entente Allies, and, in event of such
reorganization, it is suggested, the
Balkan states might possibly join this
combination.

EXPOSURE CAUSES
DEATH OF RIVERMAN
West Dover Man, Log Driver Since
Boyhood, Was Recovering from
Amputation of One Leg.

Emile Joseph Willett, As, resident
of West Dover and for years river
driver, died suddenly last night in the
Brattleboro Memorial hospital of ear
diac embolism. He had been in the
institution about four weeks. He
leaves a wife and three children. The
body was taken to West Dover, where
the funeral will be held Friday.
Mr.. Willett was born in Oldtown
Me-, Oct. 1, 1869, son of Emile and
Aresend (Burley) Willett. Since old
enough to work he had worked on
logging jobs. Every spring he work
ed to his waist in the icy waters OF
the mountain streams getting the logs
into the drives, but last winter he
found that the exposure had affected
him so that he was losing the use OF
his legs.
Gradually the exposure to which he
had been subjected for years so af
fected the blood vessels that gan
grenous condition set in and finally

covery 1t was the first case of ear
| diac embolism that had come to ths
| immediate attention of the local hos

was attributable to exposure in colo

SMALLPOX SCARE
AT PINNEY HOLLOW
Several Persons in Hamlet Near Lud-

to Be Chicken-pox.

LUDLOW, July II. - a smallpox
scare is attracting attention in Pinney

tim was Mrs. Arthur Walker, whose

of the state board of health, declared
the illness to be smallpox and has

ness.
Miss Shaw is an artist and had been
engaged during the day in firing chi
ma. Her kiln was located on the up
per floor at the rear of the house
where the fire originated and one sup
position is that the fire caught from
the overheated kiln. Another is that
rats had carried infammable material
to the partitions.
The fire was confined to the upper
floor, the loss being about $4,000 Gov
cred by insurance. Mr.. Shaw is al
