Galvez camped just below where
the State House now stands and to
which point the English colonel
marched out to meet him but after
a sharp skirmish in which a few were
killed and several wounded on both
sides he withdrew to the fort. GAL
vez then invested the place, erected
batteries on which he mounted his
heavy guns and opened fire. After a
bombardment of two hours and half
on the 21st of September, 1879 Dick
son surrendered and marched out
with the honors of war. Besides the
fort at Baton Rouge one on the Amite
river and another on Thompson's
creek were included in the capitula-
ton and thereafter for about thirty
years the Spaniards ruled this district.

In 1777, one Captain Willing, an
American, came here to induce, if pos
sible, the inhabitants to rebel against
the British and thus aid the struggling
patriots Of the American revolution,
but his arguments fell upon deaf ears
as those who had been granted lands
remained loyal to England. Failing
to arouse the people Willing then Wis

interviewing Galvez, the Spanish Gov
ernor, from whom he received about
$4,000 out of the royal treasury to
aid the Americans. It must be borne
in mind that France had transferred
the Island Of Orleans and territory

vessel and proceeded up stream, stop

by the English, plundered the settlers,
fired their houses and carried off their
slaves, continuing his depredations as

English as could do, so escaped across

and May Be Sold BY
State

Claude Metz again swells the
number OF prisoners in tAe county
jail. Metz was released on $1,000
bail a fe weeks ago after his ar
rest on q charge Of violating the
prohibition laws. Yesterday after
noon, he was arrested with John
Gondery, Pearl Hawkinberry and
Daisy Yookes as they were coming
into town after a hilarious ride to
Lowesville, and all the party was
locked in tho county jail
According to the story told
county officials. Metz was taking
a man named Jack Wilson and a
friend named Trooper to Loves
willie, when they met Gondery and
the two women and asked them to
go along. On the way, Wilson Is
sal to have had an argument with
one of the women and to have
slapped her. officer Breedlove Of
LowesYille, ordered the party 10
leave town and when they complied
notified county officers to be Oh
the look out for them. The party
was arrested at Hillcrest.
AS Metz saw the officers waiting
for his car, ne leaped from the
machine and broke several BOTTLES
Of wfiskey on the paved road,
thinking that the destruction Of the
evidence would be enoug hto set
the party free, but in this he was
mistaken.
The car In which Metz was rid
ing was also selzzed and will be
held by the state and sold in case
Of conviction.

This bit Of wisdom is dropped by

you can build a home cheaper this

OF course, this argument may be
taken with a grain Of salt from a
man in his line Of business, but Cor
mack adds something more which is
very true:
"a home isn't a money invest.

You really can't feel like a fam.

to tho right, missing the bridge en-
tirely and plunged over the hill to
the car tracks, a listonce Of about
% feet That the car wos not pro.

LONDON, August 15.-England is
today facing a crucial period IN the
negotiations lioklng 10 the estab-
lishment of peace in Ireland. The
action OF the British government
in making public letters between,
Lloyd George aud Mr.. De Valera
showed the people that a virtual
deadlock existed and although the
door was declared to have been left
open for further parleys, twas 90
pA ent that the situation was one
of considerable gravity.
Reports from Dublin which might
indicate what the Irish republicans
would do to encounter the unex-
pected move Of the government In.
giving the correspondence to the.
press were anriously awaited. II
appeared that the next step should
be made in that city as Mr.. Lloyd
George literally laid his cards on
the table yesterday and It seems
that Mr. De Valera and his coll
leagues must meet the situation
thus created.
