THE EVIL DOORS.

There are men who take the
name of God in vain thereby work
ing for the devil without promise
or hope Of reward. But profan.
lty is harmless pastime compared
with the work of man or wo-
man who will deliberately assail
an innocent character. The char
acter assassin is the lowest paid
OF any of the devils laborers yet
some people of our acquaintance
hang on to that job with bulldog
tenacity.-Leesville Toiler

Among the visitors in New

Ilhenny Canning Co. of Avery Is
land. Mr.. Romero Informed us
that the canning factory, like the
Avery Salt Works has had a great
1eal of difficulty in procuring the
necessary cars to ship their pro-
ducts and as consequence they
are very much behind in their de-
livery. This factory has been
running successfully for nearly
four months and thousands upon
thousands Of cans of okra, toma-
.oes. Creole dinners and figs have
oeen put up in packages and
over the United States by
his concern. We dare say there
s not another canning factory in
his country that does the large
Tolume of business as the Nell
lennv Company. and if more of
'ur people would raise the stuff
his Factory could consume, they
would make handsome profits bv
them with their veoe-
ables. AS it is to-day hundreds
# small farmers in the Petite
Lnse section have begun to realize
ow easily thew can dispose of ,
heir products and We are pleased
, see them taking advantage of
he opportunity. Aside from that
here are constantly employed
nring the running season several
men and women, all get
lg remunerative wages for their 4
ervices and in this respect alone [
le owners of this Factory should {
ave the support of the people. D

BASEMENT MUST
 STAND TRIAL ON
 TREASON CHARGE
English Knight and Soldier Companion Committed
 After Examination.

London, May .17-Sir Roger Case ment and Daniel J. Bailey were com. mitted for trial today for high trea. !, son.
 This decision was reached at the conclusion of the preliminary hear. ing of these men on the charge of participation in the Irish rebellion, which has bsen in progress since Monday. The date of the trial an1 the court before which it will be held have not been announced.
 The prosecution had very little more evidence to introduce today against the head of the Sim Fein re- volt and the former British soldiers he is accused of having seduced from his allegiance. It was generally be- lieved that the prisoners will reserve their defense for the higher court.
 Constable Carter, recalled for cross examination when the case was re- stunned, testified he heard Bailey say after his arrest that he had some im- portant information which will give the police something to do.
 The trend of the question indicated that Bailey. a. the time of his arrest, tried to give the authorities informa- ton in regard to the uprising.

 Retrenchment Policy. o Although Jonesboro and Eureka Springs rendered invitations for the next meeting, Little Rock was se- lected because it is most centrally To- cated and larger attendance can be had at less expense. The proposition for the establishment of the office of assistant grand keeper of records and seal was voted down, and the grand lodge trimmed it's expenses in every department and in all directions. Much routine work was transacted. and the grand officers announced after that it was one of the most successful meetings ever held by the grand lodge.
 As a result of the discussions among the delegates to the grand lodge meet 1 ing, the members of the organization are enthusiastic over the prospects for continued growth and progress on 1 the part of the organization in all | parts of the state. Especially it is 1 that within the new year there will be nuuber of lodges formed of Pythian Sisters, partic- llarly because oc the success met by ,he lodge which was formed rather recently at Hot Springs and the suc- cess it has met. The retiring grand James s. Mcconnell. strongly urged and recommended | hat efforts be made to organize ovthian Sister lodges in all sections ,f the state, and his recommendations were approved.

 Possibility that the Southern Baptist convention will hold a meet ing at the same time and place with the Northern Baptist convention next year was brought out by efforts of the Southern IIaptiss churches of Kansas City to make that place the IneXt convention city. It was said ef- Forts were being made to get Inc No! thern Baptis,s now in session at Minneapolis to meet next year in the Missouri city.

LanghOrne's Chase of Bandits Who Raided BOquillas and Glenn Springs Expected to End with Success.
 full Encounter.

x San Antonio, Mex, May 17-Ar early withdrawal of the punitive ex. petition directed by Col. Fred Sibley was indicated at army headquarters here today. The rescue of Jesse Deemer. tn, store keeper, and Monroe Payne negro cook, who were carried across Z the border by bandits when they { raided Glenn Springs and Boquillas was reported today by Colonel Siblev. Major Langhorne, who rescued the men, reported to Colonel Sibley that lie was endeavoring to overtake the bandits, who had eluded him at AL pine, where he found Deemer and Payne.
 Army officers here regarded as probable that successful encounter with the bandits would bring the ex- petition to an end, and as not at all improbable that failure to overtake the brigands would be followed by re- | call of the column.
 Natives Refused to Slay Americans. The rescue alive of Deemer and Payne was due to the refusal of the Presidents of the village where they had been left, to carry out the orders Eof the bandits to kill them if the American troops attempted their res |cue. A detachment of Major Lang- Fhorne's force found the Americans at FAlpine, 90 miles south of Boquillas, 1early yesterday morning. The Americans had been left there sby their captors, in charge of the res aidents, None but the unarmed inhab- Eltants of the town were there when |the American soldiers arrived, and no resistance was made.
 \. Major Langhorne reported to Col |onel Sibley that he was pushing for ward, and hoped to overtake the bandits during the day.
 He added that no federal troops had been encountered, and that the atti- Itude of the residents in the territory through which he had passed appeared 
 A scarcity of forage was reported, and Colonel Sibley said that he was preparing to send forward as rapidly as possible hay and grain for the horses and mules. Colonel Sibley was at point about 40 miles south of the border.

 Marathon, Tex, May 17.-A truck driver arriving here today from Bo- quillas said that it was reported on the border that Major Langhorne and l two troops of cavalry had surrounded 1 the Big Bend bandit raiders about 125 miles from the border, killing six and | 75.
 Army officers here have made no announcement of such an engagement. l

He also declared that representatives of General Car ranza were negotiating with foreign governments against the United States, and that this government would be forced to fight foreign forces on Mexican soil if it did not do the full duty to the people of Mexico and the United States.
 Senator Borah of Idaho renewed his attacks on the national guard as a political force, and declared that it would prove to be more detrimental to the United States than an invading army Senator Borah also arraigned Great Britain for thesiIrish execu- tions. declaring there had been no greater blew to free institutions since the European war began.
 The nitrate plant project was at tackled by Senator Hardwick and de- tended by Senator Underwood and others.
