MAYORS COURT.

The Mayors Court was crowded
Friday morning when the cases in
yolved in a rumpus between white
boys of Covington and crowd OF
negroes in the negro settlement. 1t
was charged that the row occurred
when the white boys invaded that
section in an QUITO and drove by the
negro church. The testimony was
largely made UP Of admissions and
statements made on both sides, the
report of officers and the testimony
of a white citizen who objected to
the noise and language used near
his residence. Some of the prison
ers plead guilty and will take the
case to the District Court. All who
were connected with the row were
fined $500.
Mayor Badon presided and ne
gave the offenders a lecture that
should do some good in avoiding
trouble of this kind in the future.

ASSOCIATION OF COMMERCE.
TAKE UP DELIVERY
OF MEAT.

The matter of meat delivery was
discussed at the meeting of the As
sociation of Commerce at it's meet
ing Monday evening. The general
sentiment of the meeting was, that
as the war is over and scarcity of
labor and economic causes that made
it advisable to cut out all service
that was not absolutely necessary no
longer exist, it was desirable that
CoVington should have advantage Of
such conveniences as are obtainable
in other towns. 1t was decided that
if the butchers refused to aceede to
the wishes of patrons in this, matter,
he Association would cooperate
with the w. 2. U. and the house
wives in measures that would give
them relief. It was thought that
the butchers would be willing to de-
liver meat when they realized how
strong the sentiment Of their patrons
was in favor Of this service. In case
of failure, however, it is thought
arrangements could be made where
by meat could be secured from
other sources. The matter will
again be taken up at joint meet
ing of the associations.

REORGANIZATION OF COVING-
TON BOARD OF HEALTH.
A Sane Hut Aggressive Health Cam.
paign Planned. Cooperation
of Citizens Wanted.

The Municipal Board of Health
was roorganized Monday with the
following officers: DR.. B. B. War
rem, Health officer; DR.. w. L. Stew
enson, Chairman of Board; A. v.
Smith, Secretary, and A. D. Schwartz
and J. E. Nilsson, members. 1t was
determined to establish the board on
working business basis, to have
sign locating the office and meeting
days, to hold meetings on the sec
ond ana fourth Thursdays, to invite
reports from citizens of unsanitary
conditions, to appoint an official in
spector whenever necessary, and to
do other matters incidental to the
conduct Of an efficient health board.
The announcement by the chair
man, previous to his election, that
he would not accept the office unless
efficiency and determination to make
Covinston 100 per cent sanitary was
to be the key note Of the board,
brought out the fact that every MEM
Der stood solidly for a sane, yet
aggressive, health campaign.
1t has been publicly announced
hat SEdell is more active in SANTA
ton than Covington, and this beng
considered reflection upon the
town, with the probable result OF
keeping away visitors and homeseek-
ers, the cooperation of the U. 5.
Public Health Service has been
asked.
MOSQUITO breeding holes, centers
of probable typhoid infection, an un-
sanitary meat market, drainage Of
feces INTO the streets, and drinking
water below the standard were te-
ported, and a committee appointed
to investigate these matters and
have them corrected as far as
possible.

Atty. F. j. Heintz Secures
Ruling to Commence
In 120 Days.
TITLE TO GROUND
HAS BEEN SECURED
N. O. G.. N. Said To Be
Willing To Build If
Funds Available.

F. ]. Heintz, attorney for the AS
sociation of Commerce, reports that
the Railroad Commission has ruled
that work must commence on the
new depot within 120 days. While
the N. o. G. N. is ostensibly under
the management Of the company, it
is in reality dependence upon the
Government for funds. We under
stand tho company has always been
willing to go ahead with the build
ing, but it is not known what action
the Government will take in the
matter.
The justice of the demand for a
new depot is SO apparent that the
Interests of the company would make
lis building a profitable investment.
Mr.. Heintz has secured a title to
the land and the only thing in the
way would be the refusal to build
and the consequent litigation or pro-
cedures. 1t is certain, however, we
cannot long be kept out of a new
depot-and we may get it soon, as
we understand there is no objection
by the company.

VICIOUS AND DANGEROUS LEGIS.
LATION PROPOSED.
Death knell To the Live Stock In
dustry of the Nation.

Editorial from Gulf States Farmeri
Senaet Bills Nos. 2199 and 2202,
introduced in the Senate of the Unit
ed States by Senators Kendrick and
Kenyon, respectively, both of which
have been referred to the committee
on agriculture and forestry, purport
to stimulate the production, sale and
distribution of live stock and live
stock products.
These bills provide that every per-
son desiring to engage or to con-
tinue to engage in any of the fol-
lowing businesses in interstate or
foreign commerce can only do SO un-
der a license obtained from the Sec
retary CT Agriculture:
l. Slaughtering live stock.
2. Preparing live stock products
for sale.
3. Marketing live stock products.
4. Conduct or operate a stock
yard.
5. Live stock commission.
s. Giving or distributing live
stock market quota tions or market
news.
Z. Buying, selling or shipping
dairy products, poultry OF poultry
products in excess Of $4,000 year.
The effect of the Kenyon Biz vests
in the Secretary of Agriculture the
powe rto grant or withhold license
to any person or persons engaged in
the aforementioned business at the
present time, and gives to him arbi-
trary power to promulgate such rules
and regulations for the conduct of
their business as he may see fit.
He is empowered to prescribe the
method of handling the live stock,
to regulate prices, to prescribe the
method of doing business, and each
licensee is compelled to agree in ad-
vance, at the time the license is
issued, to obey every regulation, past
and future, whether valid or not.
Under this law the business mem
toned would be under direct govern
ment operation.
The Bill requires that all persons
engaged in slaughtering live stock,
or handling live stock products for
sale, dispose within two years of any
stock yards or interest in stock yards
owned by them, and practically ex-
poses stock yards business to the
ways of inefficiency that will follow
government control and operation.
The Bill prevents the packers from
controlling the meat refrigerator
cars waich they now operate to in
sure the efficient delivery OF their
product, but does not guarantee the
proper safeguards for service and
cars to take care of the meat supply
of the country.
1t prevents live stock commission
merchants, or packers, or those en-
gagged in slaughtering live stock from
engaging in other businesses or in

T.. G. DAVIS ANSWERS CRITICISM
OF MEMORIAL.
Coyington, La. July 23, j
ditor st. Tammany Farmer;

Editor ST. Tammany Farmer:
BY "a letter written to one OF the
New Orleans papers, it appears that
DR.. w. L. Stevenson, of Covington,
is considerably agitated over the
fact that the people of St. Tammany
parish, through the Council of De-
fense, are going to erect a granite
shaft IN the courthouse yard as a
memorial to the sons of st. Tam
many who were in the military and
naval service of our country during
the recent war. 1t is rather unbe-
coming of one of our citizens, after
the contract for the shaft is given.
and large part of the funds promis-
ed, to attempt to create discord and
thereby make it much harder to get
sufficient funds for the purpose at
hand. Particularly is the criticism
unweleome when it comes from one
who showed no interest in the well
fare of our men when they most
needed encouragement and assist
ance.
Now, few words in defense OF
the "cold marble shaft" as against a
