tations:
Max Wilson--Uncertain.
Julian Wiiloughby- Immovable.
Eugene Rowan-Questionable.
Ed Cassidy-Ripe for plucking

j. E. BATEMAN
is CANDIDATE FOR
SHERIFF OF PARISH

Sheriff ]. E. Batemar announces
for reelection. Mr.. Bateman is now
serving his first term as sheriff and
feels that the record Of his admins
tration entities him to a second term.
The present term has gone through
critical period, the duties of his of
flee, to which were added the re-
sponsibilities of the Craftsmanship of
the local board for the War Depart
ment, have placed upon the sheriff
and his force the most difficult prob
lens and greatest responsibilities in
the history of the office. Notwith-
standing these added responsibilities,
Mr.. Bateman has been able to con-
duct the affairs of his Office faith
fully and efficiently. He has played
no politics, nor used his office for
the purpose of showing favoritism or
persecution. He has conscientiously
endeavored to do the right thing,
both to the government and to the
people whom he serves.
Mr.. Bateman has been particular
to have as active deputies men who
would carry out his ideas of stand
ing firm in carrying out the man
dates of the law and at all times see
ing that each and everv individual
was given a fair deal. His en-
ployes have been sober and identified
with the interests to build up and
better conditions of every nature in
the parish.
Mr.. Bateman feels that with the
experience gained during the present
term that he is better fitted to serve
the people and his only promise if
reelected is that he will use every
honest effort to do his duty.

N.OG.N. Helps
Make New Record

New high records for on-time pas
senger train service in the Southern
region were set in May by the rail-
roads under government control. Re-
ports made public today by the
United States Railroad Administra-
ton show that of nearly fifty thou
sand trains operated during the
month of the twenty EIGHT roads,
1913 per cent maintained their sched-
ules. This topped the April record
of 94.3, which was believed to repre-
sent hitherto unequalled perform
ance.
Such service was made possible by
enthusiastic individual effort and
team work among the railroad men,
stimulated by competition among the
different roads. For months special
attention has been given to the pas
senger train performance, with the
purpose of. making it generally as
nearly 100 per cent perfect as posi-
BILE. Through the regional directors
office each line has kept informed Of
what the others were doing, and a
spirited race for supremacy has re-
suited.
4 For seventeen larger roads, oper-
ating 47,403 trains, the May on-time
record was 95.4 per cent, compared
with 94.6 in April The eleven small
er roads maintained an average of
95.3, compared with 94.3 in April.
Only onesaf the larger roads fell be-
low 8 4 per cent. One Of the smaller
group, the Macon, Dublin e Savan-
nah, accomplished the extraordinary
feat, of sending every one Of its 124
trains through on schedule.
