The Sheriff has received the hunting
license from the Commissioner of Con-
servation and is ready to issue same
to sportsmen Of the parish upon re-
quest. The Conservation Commission
requires payment OF one dollar from
all native and naturalized residents,
who hunt for pleasure only, while
market hunters are required to pay
Q license of ten dollars, and non-resi-
dents fifteen dollars per year. The one
dollar license required of native and
naturalized citizens of Louisiana en-
joys State wide recognition, in other
words is good to hunt in any parish
in the State. 1t is worthy of mention
that the new license contains a synop
sis OF the late game laws printed on
the back, which will enable the pos
SCISSOR to keep posted in this respect.
License is good from date of issue
until July 1st, 1917.

Our people were shocked this week
to learn of the tragic death of Mr..
T. w. Compton, which occurred at
his Office at Vicksburg on Tuesday.
Mr.. Compton was Q native of this
parish, and where he lived until at
tanning young manhood, and had
many friends among our people who
win hear of his death with much re-
gret. The Vicksburg Herald contained
the following account OF the unfortu-
nate affair:
Dependent because of nervous dis
orders and bordering on q complete
breakdown, Thomas Wilbur Compton,
head of the firm of T. w. Compton &
Co., cotton buyers of this city, sent a
-calibre bullet through his brain at
S:16 O'Clock yesterday morning in the
company's offices at Mulberry and
Crawford streets, and died shortly be.
fore 10 o'clock at the Vicksburg in
Urinary.
Monroe Martin, negro porter, was
the first person to reach Mr.. Comp
toms side after the fatal shot was fired.
He found his employer seated in a
swivel chair at his desk with stream
OF blood flowing from the wound in
his head. He had placed the pistol,
new gun of the Colts make, close to
hls head and fired. Drs. H. H. Haral-
son and H. F. Sproles were summoned
and were on the scene of the suicide
within few minutes after the porter
discovered Mr.. Compton.
Martin was working on the first
floor of the building when he heard
the shot and ran up stairs and found
Mr.. Compton unconscious.
s Mr.. Compton went to his Office ear
lier than had been his custom yester-
day. Probably the last man who spoke
to Mr.. Compton before he committed
the rash act, was w. f. Sly, at the
office Of Conner & Moritz. Mr.. Sly
was standing in the door of the Office
and spoke to Mr.. Compton as he came
down Crawford street. He told Mr..
Compton that. the Liverpool market
''is strong" and the respondent man
walked on down the street towards
his office. Within less than five min
utes the negro rushed up the street
and gave the alarm, saying Mr.. Comp.
ton had killed himself.
Mr.. Compton had been a sufferer
Tor several years and had gone to va
rious resorts for treatment, but APP
parently without results. His bust
ness career was a success and his home
life was ideal. When he left his home
yesterday morning he showed nc
symptoms out of the ordinary.
Mr.. Compton was most reticenl
man and had very few words to eA
change with anyone except on busi-
ness matters and his troubles he kept
to himself. What he suffered will new
or be known.
Mr.. Compton is survived by his wife,
who was at his bedside when he ex-
pired, and five bright children, a
brother, ID. Stacy Compton, and his
mother, who have the sincere SYM
pathies OF many friends in their great
bereavement.

MOTORISTS WILL
WATCH CASEO
MAXWELLDRIVER
Dominion Officials Will Decide
on Status of Maxwell In -.
ternationaI Wanderer

SAN FRANCISCO, ! Sept. 3d.
Motorists all over the country will
turn their attention to Ottawa, Can,
during the next week, when the case
of the famous Maxwell no-stops cham
pion will probably come up before
the Dominion officials. The car Is at
present in the kings warehouse, Van
couyer, held because it is charged
that Jack Griffin and Albert Gill Wad-
dell, who had the international
Wanderer" in charge, violated the
customs laws when entering the coun-
try.
The main contention on which the
Maxwell is held is that it was taken
into Canada for commercial pur-
poses. The famous old car is plaster
ed with signs from end to end. Names
OF a. hundred cities are painted on
its sides, hood. tenders and tonnean,
end the signs which were put on when
the car started to make automobile
history last November with It's q, 022
miles memberships run have never
been removed.
All this, coupled with the fact that
the Maxwell bore a dealers license
number from California and was
piloted by an automobile factory rep
resentative, is held against the his
toric machine. The fact that no ef.
fort was made to parade 1t AROUND the
streets of Vancouver and those us
ing the car did not seek to advertise
its presence in any way, failed to
carry any weight with the Canadian
powers-that-be, and the Maxwell was
summarily grabbed" and locked up
tight. with a guard OF soldiers, in
the Dominion warehouse. =.
The real mistake of the entire af-
fair was at the Canadian boundary at
Blaine. % miles from Vancouver,
said Griffin. in outlining the defense
the Maxwell company VIII use in en-
deavoring to secure its property
back without paying heavy fine.
The officials at the line saw the car,
wrote down the license number, and
yet allowed US to proceed to Van
couver. We still contend we, were
not in the country for commercial
purposes. for aside from the stories
Mr. Waddell was writing of the trip
no business of any sort was transact
ed by US. -
The one fault the Canadian gov
eminent can really find rests with its
own citizens The Maxwell dealers
in Canada attached sign to the back
of the tonneau. telling something OF
the car and where it could be SEEN,
We did not know much about what
they were doing, naturally thinking
the Canadians knew their own laws,
and it was quite surprise when
WaddeIl and l were hailed into the
customs house and charged with what
was made out to be serious breach
of the code"
Motorists entering Canada these
days are warned to keep their cars
free of signs of any sort. Even the
little remnants stating the names OF
the cities from which cars come
should be removed, for the Canadian
officials are in many cases bound to
fierce a full observance of their laws
against entering the. country for com
mercial purposes.sssx Ones lifornia
