St. Tammany CreameryMr. H. P. Bougere has started

his big creamery, at Sans Souci,near Covington, and is ready to re-ceive milk. This is another im-portant industrial enterprise addedto our rapidly growing town.

The creamery is a handsomebuilding, beautifully firmnished inbard-oil wood, and fully equippedwith the most modern machineryfor butter making. There areseveral large vats for = holding themilk, a seperator for seperatingthe milk from the cream and animmense churner to make the but-ter. Besides, there is a large re-frigerating plant, where ice ismade, and the butter is packed andkept ready for shipment.

There are about eighty cows onthe place at present used for milk.ing, and the creamery has a ca-pacity for 1000 cows. The cream-ery started its initial work lastWednesday, and some very finebatter was made, the butter makerbeing Dr. Deter, from Chicago,who ciptured the first prize at theWorld's Fair for the finest buttermade. The creamery will shortly

t be equipped with an electric plant.

It Will Help Any Town

The following card sent out by a

Detroit commercial club is worth

reading and pasting in your hat:"If there is any chance to boom

business, boom it. Don't pull a

long face and look as though yon

had a sour stomach. Hold up your

head, smile and look for better'

things. Hide your little hammer

and try to speak well of others, no

matter how small you know yourself

to be. When a stranger drops in,

jolly him, tell him this is the great-

est town on earth,r and it is. Don't

discourage him by speaktng ill of

your neighbors. Lead him to be-lieve that be has at last struck a

place where white people live.Don't knock. Help yourself along

by becoming popular, and pushyour friends with you. It's dead

easy. Be a good fellow and soon

you will have a procession of fol-lowers. No man ever helped him-self by knocking other people downin character or business. No manever got rich by trying to makeothers believe he was she only manin town who knew anything. Youcan't chlimb the ladder of success bystepping on other people's corns.Keep off the corns and don't knock.

Now that Japan has become domi-

nant in the Orient and is preparedto demand of Russia a big war in-

demnity, part of which may be used

in constructing more war ships, it

has become all the more urgent that

the United States should maintain a

large naval force. Before Japan

rose to such prominence there was

not much occasion to maintain a

large fleet in the Pacific, but in the

near future there may be far more

need of war ships on our west coast

than on the Atlantic.

After many months of uncer-

tainty, it is now definitely announc-

ed that an adequate immigration

station has been securei at New

Orleans, through the work of the

New Orleans Progressive Union,

and is inteqded for the handling of

immigrants direct to Southern fields

instead of via New York. The

Southern Pactfic Railroad has

given its old depot and ferry land-

Ing on the river front in the heart

of the City and the government will

at once begin the erection of sheds,

offioes, etc.

The common little rhyme begin-

ning, ".Thirty days has Septem-ber," if not as old as the halls, is at

least as old as 1596, for in that

* year it was printed in London, in

an old arithmetic.

Obstacles In The Way.

The committee charged with theof acquiring rights of way for theBaton Rouge and Hammond end ofthe Colorado Southern are encount-ering obstacles scarcely to have

been expected. Many land ownersin the vicinity of Baton Rouge aredemanding prices that would be con-sidered high for surburban proper-ties and the chances are that it willbecome necessary to deflect fromthe original line of survey or the

road will not be built. Tihe com-mittee is called upon to furnish free

right ot way but it met by prohibi-tory prices they will not be able to

do so. The Truth recognizes the

right of every man to handle hisown as best suits him, but in the

present instance the prosperity andhappiness of all the people' is atstage and no one person should be

permitted to get in the way of ad-vancement. The lands in questionmay condemned, the line ofsurvey deflecteid, or the road un-built, with all chances in favor ofthe last proposition, unless a moregenerous disposition is shown bythe owners of lands through whichthe line of survey runs.

None of the various railroadswhich have considered the questionof connection with the Illinois Cen-tral at Hammond have exhibitedmuch enthusiasm for the plan andif the road be built at any time amuch more liberal spizit will beshown than at the present time. Itis the people who need the railroadfor the development of the parishand convenience of themselves andnot the directors of the roads whodo not possess an acre of land inthe parish nor lot in the city andcan easily find channels for the in-vestment of the money required toconstruct a road they do not need.

The Hammond proposition is inthe hands of land owners and if thisclass expect to get rich off a fewacres they will find themselves mis-taken. Large land owners are moreinterested in the development of theparish than any other class of citi-zens and if they are satisfied withthe present status of the parishothers with less interest will besatisfied also.-Baton Rouge Truth.

Would Abolish the Noose

Indianapolis, Ind., June 29.-Gov. Hanley today rafused to In-terfere in the case of Berkley

Smith, who will be hanged atMichigan City tomorrow for themurder of his wife in Indianapolis.In his opinion on the subject theGovernor says he has decided notto interfere with capital punish-ment during his administration, ashe had contemplated, except, pos-sibly, in individual cases. He adds:

,"Personally I am opposed to,

capital punishment. 1 have a pro-found belief that the State has nomoral right to take the life of acitljen, save in self-defense, as inthe enforcement of the law, themaintenance of peace and order,or as in case of. riot, insurrectionor reb"ellion.

,"As to the wisdom of suchpunishment and the moral right ofthe State to inflict it, I shall appealit to the ople and ask that theprovisit be stricken from thelaw by e next General Assem-bly, ,

Poison That Leaves NoTrace.

the late Sir R. Chretison, M, D.,of Edinburgh, testified at a recenttrial that there existed poisonswhich left no trace of their workbehind. He was about to mentionone, when the judge stopped him,remarking that such knowledge wasnot desirable to be bruited abroad.Next morning, Sir Robert was be-seiged with inquiries containel inletters, asking for the name of thepoison. The writers, of course,professed that their interest in thematter was of an entirely sclentificnature.-New York World.

Concentrated BeerA Wisconsin chemist has pro-

duced a liquid which is 11.000 timesstronger than the best quality ofbeer, and one drop of it placed in alarge beer glass and filled with icewater produces a glass of pure beerof the finest grade.

The extract contains an alkaloidfrom hops just 9500 times strongerthan crude hops, and the activeprinciple of malt 12,700 times thestrength of common malt made fromthe beat barley.

With the above is combined anarticle on contiet with water, pro-duces instantaneous fermentation,forming 31 per cent alcohol, theamount existing in the best gradeof beer. A one-ounce bottle of theextract will make 480 schooners, or

'about thirty gallons of pure beer.

Cotton Crop.

The latest estimate on the cottona crop for 1905-06 has been made by! J. C. Clark, of Atlanta, Ga., who. places the figures at about 10,300,-

000 bales, based upon present con-

ditions, and without taking into ac-count ravages of the boll weevil.. From Hillsboro, Tex., comes the. information that there is another

I bug in the fields which appears as a

rival of the boll weevil. Its methods

are similar to those of the weevil,.puncturing the bolls and squares. It

p is larger than the weevil, beingabout a quarter of an inch long, andis far more active.

COTTON CROP BEPORT

The Times Democrat of last Mon-day presented the reports of its cor-respondents on the history of the

cotton-crop during the month ofJune. The consensus of opinion isto the following effect:

1. There has been a very moder-ate improvement, taking the Belt asa whole, though many sections re-

cord a distinct deterioration.2. Some small part of the original

acreage has been abandoned, be-

cause of excessive rainfall and

]scarcety of labor.3. The boll-weevil has made its

Iappearance in Texas, but no trust-worthy forecast of the prospectivedamage can now be made.

4. The crop was very late and re-cent rains have accentuated thisfeature of the case.

5. On the average, the situationis hardly less critical than It was at

the end of May. Perfect meteoro-logical conditions and a late frostwill be needed to avert a disaster.

Patronize IomeMerchant

It is pleasing to note that theState press is crying down thepractice of some people in patron-izing the distant mail order house,and is pointing out the many in-stances where the customers arenot working an injury to the town,but are themselves losing moneyby it. A Gulfport paper recentlynoted the fact that a citizen of thattown ordered.a stove at what he

thought a very low price; when thestove came it was just as repre

sented in the catalogue, but lacked

about 100 pounds of weighing the

same as the same range in a local

hardware store which was selling

for a litle more. And he, was cured

of the mail order habit.The Columbus Commercial has

been making a little canvass alongthis line and found four ladies who

had lost altogether $12 50 on four

dress patterns, by ordering from amail order house instead of patron-izing a local merchant. In one in-

stance a lady had spent $14 00

with the mail order house for dresspattern, when the merchant could

have matched the goods and

charged #9 00 for the pattern. Of

course the lady was chagrined atthe discovery.

Not long since an editor at

Laurel, after expressing his views

to a party of young men on this

subject, was presented with a six-bits Sears and Robuck shirt as sub-stantial testimony from his point

9f view that the shirt could not be

du~icated in the city for less thanone dollar. He acceptea the shirtand made comparisons, and hefound that his friend could havesaved his express charges by buy-ing his shirts in Laurel.

People should be reminded thatthe progress of a town depends up-on the success of each and everyone of it's citizens; they shouldknow that the local merchant bearshis share of the burden of taxation,the churches, the schools andcharity. But aside from this youare dealing with no "sight unseen"proposition in buying his goods,and you get what you pay for.-Ocean Springs News.

PEACE ENVOYS.Official announcement was made

by President Roosevelt of the namesof the Russian and Japanese envoysto the Washington peace confer-ence. The character and ability'ofthe men selected by both belliger-ents is an earnest of the desireof their respective governments toconclude, if possible, the tragedybeing enacted in the Far East.The plenipotentiaries are:

Russian-- Ambassador Muravieff,formerly Minister of Justice andnow Ambassador to Italy, andBaron Rosen, recently appointed asAmbassador to the United States tosucceed Count Cassini.

Japanese-Baron Kamoura, Min-ister of Foreign Affairs, and KogoraTakabira, minister to the UnitedStates.

By direction of the .lPresident,Secretary Loebb made the an-noncement in the following state-went:

The envoys will meet in Washing-ton as soon after the 1st of Augustas possible.

Topographic SurveyIn reply to a request of Prof. W.

R. Dodbon, Director of the Louisi-ana Expenrimeut Stations, for atopographical survey of this see-

nion of Louisiana, the followingletter has been' received from thedirector of the United States Geological Survey Bureau, announcingthat the survey would be made:

"Replying to yours of Feb. 18,urging that this Department makea survey map of Baton Rouge, La.,quadrangle, I take pleasure in ad-%ising you that in the plans fortopographic surveying tor the sea-son of 1905 a sufficient sum hasbeen provided to commence thesurvey of this area, which coversabout 1,000 square miles. Theamount of money which would berequired on this one quandrangle,however, is so great (about $9000)that it will probably be anotheryear at least before the work willbe commenced in the early fall bya party under the charge of Dun-can Hannegan, topographer."

Selection of JuriesMany methods by which less

time would be consumed in the se-lectiou of a jury have been propos-ed. The latest suggestion in thisline was offered by Judge Tuley atthe recent meeting of the IllinoisBar Association. Judge Tuley de-clared that it is the duty of thejudge to make a careful examina-tion of each juryman on the panel."It is the court's duty to see thatthese men are morally and mentallyqualified to pass upon the ques-tions placed befcre them. Out ofa pannuel of sixty men 1 have foundthirty-five, perhaps, who are com-petent to act as jurors." - He saidthat it is no unusual thing forlawyers to take thirty days in trying to get a jury to hear a case,and it has been known to take twomonths to do this work. He sug-gested as a remedy that the judgeselect eighteen men from the paneland then allow the plaintiff anddefendant each to reject three. Ifthis plan were adpoted, Judge Tu.ley thinks delays in the adminis-tration of justice, especially incriminal cases, would be lessened.

Spring Poetry a la NewYork.

The sun has crossed the line andnow the weather may be vernal;that is, if no more cyclones come,like yesterday's, to spurn all effortsof the spring to come as per theclassic rhymes, (Perhaps there wasa spring in those days of the goodold timers !) But this spring spranga fearful leak from clouded domesupernal, and weather that shouldbe divine might be declared infer-nal; entirely too much chilliness-nocturnal and diurnal, whichprompted many citizens to take, forwoes external, the ancient springreviser of the old Kentucky Colonel.

The mercury fell down the tube apoint below the freezing, and springherself might be excused fromshivering and sneezing. The wind,a brisk northeaster, howled, the skywas dark and solemn, and chillsehased one another up and downthe spiral column.O! hail, diptherial mildness, hail

and rain and snow-and blossom!Perhaps the spring has really comeand may be playing 'possum!
