TALKING ABOUT WEEDS.
Judging from the plaint of the Sig-
nal, Crowley, too. Is very badly af-
flicted with weeds, the following i
inimitable bits of sarcasm being from
the pen of Editor Randolph:
“Anxious Inquirer—We can’t tell
you authoritatively where the five lost
tribes of Israel were lost, but we know
where they mi^ht have been lost and
we have our suspicions which w’e shall
communicate to the new city adminis-
tration as soon as they take up the
weed question.”
“The sheath skirt should be popular
in Crowley, although it is said that
the new garment has the peekabo
shirtwaist and the openwork stock-
ing backed into the Quaker class of
wearing apparel. If the material of
the sheath skirt Is India rubber or
oilcloth the wearer might gel along
some of our sidewalk's without ruin-
ing her clothes with weeds and grass
stains—especially if she walked in th»
middle of the road or walked oti
stilts.”
by the other fellows. Sarcasm didn’t
bite on this boy, and by the time the
others got tired teasing him, Bill
marched Into the president’s office
and announced that he had made a
discovery that would save the com-
pany a lot of expense.
There wasn't any “if" about It, he
was certainty personified. Powder'
and dynamite only had to be mixed
according to a mysterious recipe of
Dill’s making, and the trick would be
done. The president was incredulous,
but finally condescended to have Hill’s
experiments investigated. The ex-
perts returned a verdict of “Guilty”;
Bill had made a very signal discovery
that would save the concern a pretty
penny In a veyy signal way.
At the rate of business the foundry
was doing, the saving was estimated
at something like $10,000 a year. As
the process was not patentable. Bill
was offered a $3500 position with fhat
firm right away, mainly to keep the
secret under his waistcoat, as chief
experimenter and assistant chemsl of
the laboratory. By additional improve-
ments and minor inventions along this
line I understand this young college
man is now saving his firm in the
neighborhood of twenty thousand dol-
lars annually after five years of.in-
termittent work.
His present pay is only $5000, and
though he has received offers from
rival concerns on much better terms,
he prefers to stick to the house that
gave him bis first chance. ,

thing you cho-.se, but a carload of Sa|V#tior, Army Wi„ Serve lce, and
To the Voters of the Representative
District, composed of Orange and
* Jefferson Counties: -
Having announced myself as a can-
didate for the Legislature from this
district, after a life-long residence in
this county, and having been a life-
long Democrat. 1 find that Mr. Chaney,
who is also’ offering himself for that
office, assails me unjustly and un-
truly in a communication published ln
Sunday's Enterprise, with many ex-
pressions such as the following:
“Mr. I-angham is opposed to the
fanners having any representative
there (in the Legislature) or being
heard, whether right or wrong.”
“Mr. I-angham wants the canal com-
pany to decide all matters its way.”
“If Mr. Langham wins this race he
will ,/have to show that the farmers
are wrong.”
The'remainder of his discourse is
devoted to an effort to show why he
should represent the whole people of
this district, for the sole purpose of
regulating, according to his own idea,
a canal company.
1 don’t consider thlB the only issue
In which our people are interested as
{»e does, nor do I propose to defend
’the canal company or the farmer in
any contention they may have one
with the other, but feeling that such
statements may mislead and prejudice
the rice farmers of this district
against me, I desire to briefly answer
them by saying sincerely that i have
not prejudged any issues which may
exist or arise between them and any
canal company, and that I don’t desire
to$fo to the legislature as the special
advocate of the canal company or the
farmer, nor have I promised anything
to either; but it will-he my earnest
endeavor to represent the whole peo-
ple of this district, and to act justly,
and propose and urge such measures
as will best serve the varied interest*
of ai! concerned.
It sAerns to me that should a legis-
lator go there committed to one inter-
est as against the other tp.-re would
be great danger of his enacting such
drastic laws or regulation* as might
inevitably annihilate and destroy the
whole industry. Horn and raised a
believe, if you will pardon me, that
many years of service as your tax col-
lector in Jefferson county has quali-
fied me to deal with this subject '
Taxation is intended as a tribute
placed upon the people sufficient to
defray the expenses of the government
they enjoy, and it should not exceed a
revenue such as is necessary to defray
such expenses, when the same are
economically administered, and the
same, as near as possible, distributed
so that each dollar, no matter hot*
invested, will bear Its equal burden;
and it is therefore necessary that
economy should be preserved i| order
that taxation should he as light a bur-
den as possible, and 1 shall endeavor
to aid measures of economy and de-
feat ail measures of government ex-
travagance. This matter should be so
regulated that no unjust burden
should be placed on any Industry or
class pf individuals.
They hare been enacting laws so
fast that the statutes are filled with
laws which no one can interpret.'and
a man who wants to comply with the
law doesn’t know how. I will be
cautious ln advocating new laws, and
especially do I believe that measures
and bond issues which burden the peo-
ple of a district or given locality,
should always be submitted to a vote
of the people. . .»
Legislation should be had. I am In-
clined to believe, on that subject, It
ha* occurred to me that our district
and enterprises peculiar to it. are
bearing more titan their Just burden
of state assessments, and while this
may not be remedied, yet I will en-
deavor to relieve the situation if ojt-
poriunity is afforded
The many issue* which may becotna
vital to the various trades and
branches of labor and of business dur-
ing the next Legislature are too nu-
merous to mention, hut suffice it to
say that If elected I Intend to be your
representative as well as the represen-
tative of the other fellow and deal w ith
each Issue with caution and with my
best judgment exercised in the inter*
est of all concerned.
1 have had the honor of serving this
people before. I will leave those who
are familiar with my administration

placed in me to hear witness a* to my
