Judge Dawkins Incompetent.

That judge who has had SO MANY re-
versals in the Supreme Court Of the state
as Judge Dawkins has had should aspire to
seat on the very bench which has dis
credited his decisions in such large ma
1ority of cases tried by him, would seem
presumptous. The reversals which the
Herold Campaign Committee have proved
against Judge Dawkins, in spite of his at
tempt to minimize or deny them. and which
later were checked up by three Of the lead
ing lawyers of Shreveport and proved to
have occurred, would seem to disaualify
Judge Dawkins from nomination to such
high position.
The mentality that could conceive that a
man was enjoying a right given him by the
United States Constitution in the conduct
OF notoriously immoral life in district
given over to prostitution. surely il not one
to- render important decisions of law in
cases involving the property and personal
rights Of the people of this state. Such
was the decision Of Judge Dawkins in the
now famous Mccormick case This one de-
9ision should have withheld Judge Daw-
kins from placing himself in nomination
for a seat on the highest bench OF the
state. fudr.

Only five of the thirty colOred an

Vote for Judge Reynolds.

In the closing hours of the campaign
it is advisable for the voters to closely
and carefully consider the claims of
Judge Reynolds for the office of
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court His claims are well founded.
his record is good, and his competency
for the position is unquestioned by the
Impartial public. Judge REYNOLDS is
running on his merits-as a citizen.
lawyer and judge. From Il moral
standpoint no man stands higher, and
his record as judge shows that he is
we'll qualified for the high office to
which he aspires. No civil decision
rendered by him has been reversed by
the Supreme Court, and this is an ad-
ditional argument for his fitness. The
Supreme Court is now about eighteen
months behind in its business, and the
vacancy should be filled by an ener-
getic lawyer of known ability. and one
who is in every way qualified. Judge
Reynolds it that man. He has made a
good and dignitied campaign. and his
friends should do the rest at the polls
on the 10th. Iadr.

Plenty of Black Walnut.

Mr.. j. w. Faircloth, of the Midway
settlement. called one day last week to
report that he has recently inspected
the number of walnut trees to be found
out near his place. being prompted to
do so by seeing the notice in the Ban
ner announcing the demand for such
timber by the Government for gun
stocks.
On the place Of Jim Gladney. col
cred farmer, he has found nine good
trees. varying in circumference from
81 to 96 inches. and in height to the
first limb (estimated) from Z to 20
feet. Fortunately, the 2O-foot cut is
to be had from the 96-inch tree. There
are perhaps other trees Oh Jim's place
not located. He would he glad to sell
to the Government. so he states.
On the place belonging to Alex Nc
Coy eight fine trees were found-34 to
JOG inches in circumference, with five
affOrding 7-foot cut and the other
three 4O-fOot cuts. He will also sell.
and be glad to do so, if the Govern
nlent needs his trees.
George Thomas is another nearby
colcred farmer. on whose place seven
good trees were found. Their meas
urements-31 to - inches, with Z to
1tifOOt cuts. He will sell.
Eighteen other fine trees varying in
circumference from 26 to 81 inches and
which will afford cuts Of from Z to IL
feet were located on lands belonging to
residents of Shreveport. Some miles
south Of him Mr.. Faircloth stated
there was quantity of fine walnut
timber to he had. This. he said. he
can point out. Also he knows where
there are trees in cultivated fields that
were deadened last winter and spring
that should be Sayad ut once. if it is to
serve Il good purpose to the Govern
nleIt.
Mr.. Faircloth recently visited his
son Claude, now in training at Camp
Beauregard and while there heard Il
stranger say that the Government
wished to locate another sulphur bed.
He believes he knows where this is to
he found. in Bienville Parish.
Mr.. Faircloth's address is Benton.
Rural Route No. 3. The three colored
farmers should be addressed the same
This information. in full as appearing
in print here we have furnished the
Agricultural Department. and the own
epS of this fine black walnut will no
doubt soon hear from some enc of the
Washington officials But it would
seem that such abundance Of fine tim
Der for gun stocks would justify ii
visit by timber inspector for the
Government. and perhaps he will soon
be on the scene.
Mr.. Faircloth's home is about twelve
miles east of Benton. and Benton is
| the nearest shipping point, and some of
the timber would have to be teamed
out even Il greater distance. However,
this distance should not serve as Il bar
! to handling the timber for the reason
that it is so necessary at this time.
Others who have walnut timber for
A.le may either report that fact to
| this office. or address the Department
