Christening First St. Tammany Growlel

ing.
While numerous small jugs and
ornamental pots and vases have been
made Of this clay, this is the first
large set for practical use and fully
illustrates the fact that there is a
great future for the manufacture OF
this clay for all the purposes Of do
mestic use. It is intended that
factory shall be established here.
The christening was made in pure
water, drawn from the flowing well
in front of the Smith Hardware Com
pany, connecting the two together
in purity, in manufacture, in trans
portation and power, and pure water
was never drank with more re
sponsive feeling of appreciation.
Afterwards luncheon and cigar!
were served and there was a genera
discussion of the future for st. Tam
many pottery.
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1915-06-19

Last Sunday there was a little
gathering Of citizens in the Office OF
the Ball Clay Company Of st. Tam
many parish, in their Office In Cow
ineton. In that office ceremony
was performed that may be written
in the future history OF the indus-
tries of the State Of Louisiana as the
first demonstration Of the possibili-
ties Of St. Tammany parish clays in
the manufacture Of pottery. The
gathering was for the purpose OF
Christening large growler and set
Of six mugs, made in the art depart
ment of the Sophie Newcomb lnsti-
tute. The set Is a fine Illustration
Of the adaptability Of this clay to
decorative art, and Mr.. Nielsen has
been offered and refused $4,000 for
it. It rings to the touch like a
piece of cut glass and has a density
that gives fine finish without glaz.

The very evident purpose OF this

It has been, wy life through, an

To the Democratic Voters of st. Tam
many Parish, La:
wish to announce myself as a
candidate to the Constitutional Con-
vention at the Democratic primary to
be held on July q, 1915, and / re-
spectfully solicit your vote and sup
port.
This is possibly the most impor-
tant Convention this State has ever
held. A new Constitution will be
written. Many measures of vital inn
portance to this State and her people
will be passed; and in Offering my
self as the representative from this
parish, l do SO with full realiza-
ton Of the serious responsibility that
will rest upon the shoulders of that
Convention and each of its delegates.
l was sent, without opposition, as
the delegate from this parish to the
limited Constitutional Convention OF
1913. My services at that Conven-
tion, at which had the honor OF be-
ing appointed on perhaps the most
important committee of that body,
have given me broad experience
and q close and intimate knowledge
of the needs of our State.
have given the Constitution much
study and thought. The new Con
stitution should be short and on
broad lines, SO as to do away with
the necessity of having the Legisla-
ture constantly submit Constitutions
Amendments to the people for ratifi-
cation, the publication of which has
already cost the taxpayers OF this
State thousands Of dollars.
The new Constitution should make
laws which will insure uniform and
equal assessments, which should re-
suit in q lower rate of State, parish
and town taxes. The judicial sys.
tenn of the State should be changed
so as to reduce the long, vexing and
Injurious delays which are burden
and a hardship to litigants and al
times are practically denial OF jus
tice.
There are numerous other meas
ures to come up, but space will mo-
permit my going into these matter:
in detail.

To the Citizens of St. Tammany

To the Citizens of st. Tammany
Parish:
Having been repeatedly requested
by many citizens of this parish to
represent them as member of the
Constitutional Convention, to be held
in the city Of New Orleans, Septem-
ber IA, 1915, and after deliberate
consideration and reflection, take
this method Of announcing to the
people of this parish my candidacy
for the Democratic nomination at the
primary election to be held July ~,
1916. as a member of said Const.-
tutional Convention from this parish.
I feel that my knowledge and ex
perience as a practicing lawyer, as
district attorney and as judge OF this
Judicial District, as we'll as from my
constant study and knowledge OF
constitutional law, ! am fully equip
ped and qualified to properly and
successfully represent the people In
the deliberations and conclusions OF
this Constitutional Convention.
My services rendered in the dis
charge Of the duties and obligations
OF the various Offices the people OF
this parish and Judicial District have
honored me with should be full
warranty that ! will fearlessly and
with integrity discharge the duties
incumbent upon me as member OF
said Convention. | therefore submit
my candidacy to the people OF this
parish, upon my official record made,
and the experience and knowledge
gained through the discharge OF the
duties and obligations of every office
which you, the people, have entrust-
ed me.
l have given this matter very Sc
rious consideration before l conclud-
ed to announce my candidacy. and,
in order that there may be no false
impression in the minds of the peo-
pie, now say, there is absolutely
nothing improper in my aspiring to
be elected as member, or serving
as q member of this Constitutional
Convention, while holding the office
Of Judge of this District, and in the
event Of my election, there will not
be and there cannot be any conflict
OF duty. 1t is rather the rule than
the exception, that District Judges
are selected to serve as members OF
la Constitutional Convention. II there
was any improperly in my seeking
to represent the people of this parisi
lin this Convention, or any conflict o.
duty of the Judge Of this Distric1
with the duty Of member OF thu
/ said Convention, would not have

Windsor immigration authorities Fri
day afternoon when they applied for
marriage license and frankly admit
ted that both Of them had spouses liv-
ing, They were quite surprised to
learn that that made any difference
in Windsor. They had the idea that
all th/ was necessary was for them
10 get across the border and get mar
ried.
Samuel said that he had too much
religion in his home. His wife and
all of his 13 children. he said, had
Joined the Holy Rollers. and we're re-

Mrs. Frye said hsr regular husband
didn't have any religion at all.
The couple were sent back across
the river, and immigration authorities
on this side were notified. They held
the elopers for Detectives Reid and
Dibble. who took the couple to head
quarters. questioned them, and sent
them back TO Virginia
Both agreed TO go back home. They
were quite surprised TO think that
they had done anything out OF the
way.
