Of charity, when Frank Boifetlillet was COM
manded to abandon his lawfully welded wife,
treating her as a concubine, because the Ital-
Ian popes have declared that any Christian
marriage, outside this foreign church, is
filthy concubinage?"
Was 1t work of love and religion, to
blight the life of that good woman, who had
married in good faith, In strict accordance
with the laws of Georgia. and whose mar.
rage is Of record in the Ordinary's office?
Was it a work of love and religion to com
pei Engineer Bernard to abandon his law
fully welded wife, because she would not ad-
NIT that she had been living in concubinage,
and allow priest to re-narry her. Just as
though her marriage under Georgia law was
absolutely null and void?
When the priest compelled that Methodist
woman, whose husband was dying, to accept
re-marriage at his hand, treating this law
full wife as a concubine, and her children as
bastards-was that another act of love, char
ity and Christianity?
Why should the Knights of Columbus be
SO agltated over the coming Of the Rev E.
"A. Jordan to deliver in the city Auditorium
a series of seven lectures?
Why should they try to prevent him from
having a good audience and a courteous
hearing?
These Knights of Columbus have recently
had the notorlus Pete Collins, of Massaehu-
sets, in their midst, delivering lectures bit
terly assailing the Socialists and defending
the foreign church which is trying to choke
free speech, and gag free press.
Did any Protestant run an advertisement
In the Macon papers, deprecating Pete Col
Inns lectures, and virtually urging the people
to stay away?
Certainly not.
All true Americans believe in free speech
and free press
The subjects of the foreign pope are the
only Americans who dread free discussion
Judging from the report Of young Mr..
Winn, whose letter appeared in last weeks
Jeffersonian, Pete Collins lecture was as full
of personal malice, as it was of brazen false
hood
He utterly misrepresented the facts as to
the crime which the Knights of Columbus
committed on the Baptist preacher, Rev.
Otis L. Sturgeon.
He utterly misrepresented the facts as to
the assassination of William Black, by the
Knights Of Columbus, and he added to these
shameful lies an outrageous SANDER upon the
little girl whom William Black had legally
adopted as his daughter.
Before this issue of our paper will have
reached our subscribers, the Rev. Mr.. Jor-
dams lecture will have been delivered, and [
trust will have been largely attended.
The Knights of Columbus in Macon, and
elsewhere, had just as well understand, right
now and henceforth, that they cannot con-
tinue to urge ruthless war upon American
citizens and American principles, without
getting fight-baclz which will give them all
the combat they can handle.
Here is another advertisement" from the
Macon News, but the Protestant preacher
wasn't afraid to SIGN has name:

CHECK RAISER AND
AUTO Thief CAUGHT

In q few hours after the wires were
sent out broadcast yesterday for
Robert Coyne after the discovery of
his running away with Charley Can
mons Ford and passing several worth
less checks on Saturday night, the
police in Jacksonville found the car
in a garage and a policeman by the
name of Shorty nabbed Coyne on the
streets. Sheriff Smith and Charley
Cannons left on the midnight train
for Jacksonville the one for his car
and the other for the prisoner, says
the DeLand News.
Read & Denny are also to be added
to the list of victims for on Saturday
night this firm obligingly cashed a
check for $22. SIS of this being for
goods and the remainder cash in ex-
change.
A correction is necessary as Coyne
was referred to yesterday as a road
engineer, while in reality he was but
an assistant, third or fourth or there
abOuts.
Charges will be preferred against
Coyne this afternoon and it is ex-
pected he will be up for grand lar
ceny and passing worthless checks,
and his few days jaunt at the expense
of others is liable to land him for a
long term on the very roads he helped
to lay out.

JENNINGS WOULD HEAR
STEAMBOATS, WHISTLE

That Jennings will soon have steam
boats anchoring within her corporate
limits now seems assured. At the
regular meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce Monday night the ques-
ton of constructing canal from the
Mermentau river to point inside the
corporation lines of the city was dis
cussed and committee of three, I.
C. Mahaffey, John Gamble and G. B.
Zigler was appointed to secure an es-
innate of the cost and report the re-
suit at a special meeting next Mon
day. Mr.. Mahaffey gave as his
opinion that Jennings could be made
a river port at very small cost.
Other questions of interest were
discussed. Uhe various committees
are at work and good results for Jen-
nings and Jefferson Davis parish are
expected from their efforts.

LAFAYETTE WILL VOTE
ON GOOD ROAD BONDS

The promoters of the latest idea in
good roads for Lafayette-that of do
ing away forever with the present
dirt roads by covering them with a
thick, firm layer of gravel-called on
the police jury Thursday afternoon
while the body was in regular month
ly session, and as result the jurors
agreed to meet again in the 18th of
this month and act on the matter of
calling an election for a special tax
to pay for the work.
There is every indication that the
proposition will be pushed with the
characteristic energy of Lafayette
boosters. No sooner was the news of
the movement given out Thursday, as
it appeared in yesterday mornings
issue of the Press, than the first step
was taken to submit it to the people.
From what can be gathered by the
Press in conversation with citizens
from various sections Of the parish,
it seems certain that the idea of
building permanent roads all over the
parish is acceptable generally and that
the proposed tax of five mills for
twenty years will be voted.
When the police jury issues the call
for the election, as no doubt that
body will, the promoters Of the idea
will wage campaign for the tax in
every ward; but, as said before, the
sentiment of the people seems to be
so markedly in favor of the proposition
that a campaign will not be much
acknowledgements Press.

WILSON'S REFLECTION IS
Conceded BY REPUBLICANS

That President Wilson has carried California, thus
giving him the thirteen votes necessary to assure his
reelection is conceded by the republican headquarters,
according to late reports this morning.
The California returns showed that with only AZ
districts yet to be heard from president Wilson's pur
atty in the state was 297O.
Wilson now has total of 269 electoral votes Hughes
235, with II doubtful.
Anxious waiting since Tuesday evening has filled
the bosoms of the supporters of the two leading political
factions with many emotions early reports from eastern
states led Hughes supporters to the belief that he
safely elected All day Wednesday the smile fingered
but late in the day was stricken with pallor, finally
disappearing No one will begrudge these worthy
patriots their one happy moment in eight years.

My attention has been called to a
report that has gained some credence
to the effect that l am a relative of
Prof. Arnold Pearce, the principal Of
the Welsh high school. This report
is an error as applying to myself and
also as it applies to Supt. W. P. Ar
nette. Neither of US are in any way
related to the professor, although we
would feel very highly complimented
if such were the case. We simply
want the public to be correctly in

LOUISIANA STATE FAIR
THE BIGGEST AND BEST

"The biggest and best ever" was
the comment of Parish Agent H. c.
Fondren, who returned Monday after
noon from the State Fair at Shreve-
port. The agricultural hall which has
been enlarged by an addition of about
1000 square feet floor space, was
filled to the doors with every variety
of farm products, the quantity and
quality of which would make Ceres
green with envy. Mr.. Fondren visit
ed the Texas State Fair at Dallas two
weeks ago and says that Louisiana
has already passed that state in her
exhibition of farm products as well
as boys and girls industrial club
work.
Every available space in the big
beef and dairy barns was taken and
a good number of cattle was being
housed under tents and other i'm
prOvised barn room. A large swine
barn recently erected along side of
the original hog barn for the purpose
of accommodating the swine from the
pig clubs, was filled to its capacity,
the quality of which may be attest
ed by the fact that little Robert Reid
of Tallulah, La, won six blue ribbons
over the best swine breeders Of Lou
Iisiana, Texas and Mississippi. Many
sale of dairy and beef cattle were re-
corded, the mot noticeable of which
was the purchase by F. H. and A. A
Hoag and Del Marshall of nine head
of pure bred Red POlled cattle from
the famous Knight Bros, herd, of Gas.

ferson Davis parish the first higf
class herd of this we'll known dual pur

fifth entry into the big registered bee

Mr.. Fondren says he met up with 2
people at the fair from Jefferson Da
Wis and there were doubtless others
as the crowd was such that one coult
easily spend a day there without see

was about $4,000, while Sunda,

BOOZE GETS BIG MAJORITY
FOR MEMBER SCHOOL BID.

The election last Tuesday deyel-
oped a considerable interest in the
two precincts of Ward Six, at Welsh
and Roanoke, due to the late announce
ment of opposition to the regular nom
inee for member Of the parish school
board. A few days before the cleo
ton the insurrectioniSts brought out
Mr.. J. W. Narans in opposition to Mr..
J. M. Booze for member Of the school
board, thereby injecting a little local
interest into an election that would
otherwise have been very tame.
The Welsh precinct gave Mr.. Booze
ga votes and Mr.. Narans II; Roanoke
precinct, Booze 10, Narans 8; total
in the ward for Mr.. Booze 1l3, Mar
ans 26.
In the Welsh box there were 81
spoiled ballots and at Roanoke 80.
This was due to an unusual splitting
of ballots and to the fact that the vot-
ers had not enlightened themselves as
to the new election laws, a promiscu-
Gus use of the lead pencil having
spoiled the majority Of them.
! There never was an election held
here wherein the commissioners adj
hered more closely to the letter of
the law.
Two hundred and two votes we're
polled in this precinct; Is stamped
the head of the democratic ticket,
voting for Wilson and Marshal, while
SO voted for the democratic electors.
Hughes and Fairbanks received 8
votes, % voting for the republican
electorE John NJ. Parker did not
receive a single vote in this precinct,
a very peculiar incident considering
the hearty support accorded him by
the voters of this precinct few
months ago. Three socialist votes
were cast, but two of them were
spoiled.
