Announcement!

On Friday evening, January
18th, at s o'clock, will be offer
ed the third and last entertain
ment of the Columbia High
School Lyceum Course, when the
Mildred Morrison Company will
give a miscellaneous program,
consisting of both musical and
evolutionary numbers.
The members of this company
are as follows: Miss Mildred
Morrison, who is a gifted sopra-
no, reader, and specialist in
piano-monologs, Miss Vera An
derson, a talented violinist, and
Mr.. Carl Taggart, celebrated
baritone and trombonist.
To those who failed to take
advantage of the other two en-
taintments, we wish to say that
this is an opportunity to hear the
most talented artists in their va
rious productions. In fact, with
out any reflection on the other
numbers, this is the best in the
Course.
See the posters!

is not true, and Mr.. Harper can
easily find out the entire person
ell of this committee if he will go
about it in a gentlemanly way.
Mr.. Harper says the greedy
corporations do not want to see
him go back to the Senate, be-
cause he got so much done for
the laborers, etc. We don't know
what the corporations want, but
we do know that the voters
should oppose Mr.. Harper for
what he did not do, for he did
but little more than draw his SAL
airy, at which he seems to have
been an expert. We understand
that he introduced several bills
during the first. session, but got
none through, and that he intro
duced a number of bills during
the second session. only one of
which was finally passed, and
which bin was prepared by Mes

against the old settlers home
stead bill, introduced by Con-
gresham Aswell. This letter is
purposely used by Mr.. Harper to
as there is nothing in it
to show that Capt. Teal knew the
purpose fer which it would be
used, but only gives by request
the facts as they existed many
years ago, which facts are fully
corroborated in the same record
by similar letters from Hon. R.
l.. Tannehill, j. L. Durham, Jos.
Smith and others.
Mr.. Harper impugnod the mo-
tives Of all these gentlemen, or
will he deny that they stated
facts as they existed at that
time.
To show Mr.. Harpcr's mean
ness and evident desire to SIAN
der, we wish to state that Capt.
Teal proved his support of the
old settlers bill by the most ac-
tive support of Congressman AS
well, both before and after the
introduction of the old settlers
bill, by travelling with DR.. AS
we'll, making campaign speeches
for him, and even contributing
to his campaign expenses, and
this, too in the face of the fact
that it was openly charged that
DR.. Aswel's opponent was the
candidate of the big timber and
saw mill interests.
Mr.. Harper then Stops tc an
odius and disgusting comparison
Of his charity and philanthropy
With that of Capt. Teal's, stat
ng that he held cotton for his
customers last year, securing for
them eight and one-half cents
per pound, charging them only
interest on borrowed money.
This was indeed commendable
for Harper, who has made a Com
Portable fortune off of these same
poor people. But what did Mr..
Harper give or even risk in this
His customers furnish
ed the cotton as security, and
paid the interest. Now, perhaps
he has never heard that Capt.
Teal settled with all his tenants
during that same year at 10 cents
per pound for cotton, without
charging them one cent interest.
Capt. Teal thought nothing of
this, for in fact, it was the Gus
tom of a great many planters
and merchants that year to do so.
Now if there is one thing for
which Capt. Teal is noted
wherever he is known, it is his
unassuming benevolence and
broad philanthropy. Last spring,
after that hard year Mr., Harp
er speaks of, Capt. Teal gave
out seven mules to farmers who|
are not on his lands to make a
crop with, free of rent; gave
free planting seed to many farm
els not able to buy them. He is
known around Colfax as a stand
ing bondsman and endorser.
While owning a newspaper
some years back, which paper
earned by advertising, three
scholarships in the Tyler Com
College, these he gave
to worthy young people, and
then endorsed for them at the
bank for money to pay their
board, enabling them to get an
education.
Hundreds of similar acts could |
be cited, but time and space will
not permit, and we will simply |
say Capt. Teal is a cheerful, op-
tomistic, public spirited gentle
man, who has never opposed a
school tax, nor road tax, nor
any other public or charitable
enterprise, giving literally to all
churches, orphanages and char
tiles, without regard to denom-
nation,

Harper Shown Up
in His True Colors

columns of the paper last week
trying to explain away his graft
on the State while Senator, as
shown up by this committee
from the public record.
His principal cause fer draw
ing his aalary without service is
that others had done it, and that
the officers of the Senate, includ-
ing Lieut.. Gov. Barrett, gave it
to him, and that that made it le-
gal. We quoted Article 20 of the
constitution, which is plain
enough for any school boy to un-
derstand, but now we quote the
opinion of the Acknowledgement
on similar cases, to-wit:
Members Of the Legislature
Should not receive Com
pensation unless he
Attends the Session
Thereof
New Orleans, La, Sept. Is, 10
Hon. Chas. A. Bryne, Chairman
Contingent Expense Committee
House of Representative, New
Orleans, La:
Dear ST.: In answer to your
letter of the 18th inst, | advise
YOU that, when a member of the
House of Representatives has
not attended the recent extra
session thereof, Notwithstanding
the fact that he was given an in
definite leave of absence by the
House on account of his illness,
ne cannot receive any compensa-
ton as a member of the General
Assembly. The law governing
this poln is found in Article 20
of the Constitution, which reads
as follows:
The members of the General
Assembly shall receive a COM
pensation not to exceed five dol
lars per day during their atten-
dance, and five cents per mile
going to and returning from the
sea- Of government"
The foregoing article undoubt-
edly means that 9: member of
the General Assembly must at
tend the session thereof in order
to receive the compensation pro-
vided by law.
Very t.~.y yours,
R. G.. Pleasant,
Attorney General.
Now, voters, You hive the rul-
ing of the Attorney General be-
fore you, and it is hereby prov
en- that Mr.. Harper is incorrect,
and it is shown beyoufld a doubt
he had no right to rec Give $780,
90 compensation from the State
without having attends ed The ex-
ira session at Baton Rouge,
which he did not do. He has
grated from the State, pure anC
simple, as you will plainly see
oy reference to the abs We quoted
'aw by the Attorney General.
Do yen row endorse Mr.. Har.
per,s stand, or do you condemn
it as every honest thin king man
should do? Mr.. Harpers graft
is nothing but an open, fragrant
VOCATION of the law.
-Four years ago Mr.. Harper
was elected Senator on the Good
Government, or reform ticket by |
the people of this district. Dur
ing that campaign and since that
time he has constantly preached
purity of thought and anti-graft.
Now then, is he consistent? Let's
see: He hollers purity of thought
and anti-graft every breath, still
ne takes $4,000 from our State !
that he did not earn. He never
even started towards Bottom
Rouge and yet he accepted full
pay.
Voter, graft of this sort is the
reason our State is some millions
of dollars in debt. Now, are you
going to vote for a man whom
you catch grating and who only |
