parish, IN ADDRESSING the cOnVeH-
ton in support of his amend
ments to the educational report,
late Tuesday night, appealed to
the press to give him publicity.
"Mr. President, ladies and
gentlemen of the Convention.
and the press, said Mr.. Eth
ridge, in walking half way down
the aisle to open his speech.
Il address myself to the press
to give me space. My constitu-
ents. are writing me to know
why ! am not more active on this
floor and why my voice is not
raised more often on issues af-
fecting the people. They are
writing me, Why are you silent?
Why is it you are not mentioned
in the papers?' F"
The convention was in an up
roar, as Mr.. Ethridge had set a
new precedent in the history of
conventions and legislatures. He
is a member of the House from
Grant and regarded a very con-
sentative member.
He had offered an amendment
to make the state superintendent
of public education elected by
the people, instead of appointive
by the state board.
Pm perfectly willing to help
save the gentlemen's hide, said
Judge Phillip H. Gilbert, of Ma
poleonviIle, but I hold that this
amendment has been voted down
once tonight in the Ponder
amendment and is therefore out
of order. -
jeff B. Snyder, vice president,
was in the chair. He was al
ready swinging the gavel.
His point is not well taken, F"
insisted Mr.. Ethridge.
''The chair rules that it is well
taken, and the gentleman from
Grant is out of order. T"
Appeal from the chair" came
from j. H. Gilfoil, of Lake Pro-
violence, near colleague, who
also stole j. T. Mcclellan from
Jeff's side.
The chair was sustained, 60 to
q, the Madison-East Carroll
crowd voting against their COM
rade.
Duncan Buie moved that it be
the sense of the convention that
the press should accommodate Mr..
Ethridge.
Mr.. Ethridge at this juncture|
sprung a second amendment to
make parish superintendent
elective. and he secured the floor
again.
"I'll now say what was going
to say about the other amend
ment, |" he began. This argu-
ment that they want boards APP

Hog Cholera RACES.

SiratfOrd Courier: Hog cholera is
raging around StratfOrd again this fall.
And for that matter it is raging around
every community and in almost every
state so that our local veterinarian, DIR.
NJ. +. Pomeroy states that. it is almost
impossible to secure an adequate sup
ply of serum. so great is the demand
being made on serum houses
The epidemic came suddenly and is
taking the lives of many bovines. Our
local veterinary is busy way into the
nights vaccinating hogs for farmers
herabOuts. Many farmers lost great
numbers of their porkers before they
could get them vaccinated so virulent
is the disease this fall. Every effort
is being made to get the epidemic full
ly under control and finally stamp it
out.
