But few boxes had not been accounted for and it was not thought possible that they would materially effect the result, THE PRIMARY ELECTION. More than usual was the interest in the primary held throughout the state, Tuesday, Sept. 3, since in ad dition to the spirited campaign in New Orleans, there was a contest on in every congressional and Su preme Court district in Louisiana. Ju dicial contests added to the inter est felt. In the congressional con tests, Albert Estopinal and Garland Dupre won out in the first and sec ond districts. Senator-elect Brous sard was an easy victor, as we had feared, over H. L. Gueydan. In the fourth, Congressman Watkins was re elected; in the fifth, Dawkins and Elder are in the lead; in the sev enth, Lazaro and Lewis. Dr. Aswell is still ahead in the eighth. For our district, the sixth, results are still in doubt as to who will be with Mor gan in the second primary. The ta ble reproduced from Thursday's Times-Democrat is not complete or decisive, as it is possible that re sults may be materially changed when all the precincts have report ed. The most remarkable race of all was in the fourth supreme court dis trict when Judge O'Niell ran so far ahead with five against him. The table printed in another column gives incomplete data as to this race. For district attorney of the Fellc ianas H. H. Kilbourne defeated R. F. Walker. The vote in East Fe liciana was Kilbourne 367, Walker 287. In West Feliciana their vote was Kilbourne 208, Walker 152. RESULT FOR TOWN COUNCILMAN The election held on Tuesday for councilman to fill vacancy caused by the resignation of W. T. Forrester resulted as follows: F. O. Hamilton 27, R. Yunkes 34, E. Robinson 8, S. Rosenthal 17. The race wil1 be run over between the two highest, prob ably at the second primary for con gressman. IN THE FIFTH WARD. The contest in the 5th ward for member of the School Board resulted thus: At Grange Hall, E. A. Wright 29, H. B. Barrow 30; Poplar Springs, Wright 7, Barrow 4.

BOSSES WIN EASILY IN NEW ORLEANS PRIMARY The bosses of New Orleans dem onstrated on Tuesday the over-true motto of old Kentucky: "United we stand, divided we fall"-a truth which pproven by thousands of instances in human experience is strikingly exemplified by recent po litical history in Louisiana. The sweeping defeat which the city ring met, at the polls last January, was due to division among the bosses: the defection of Ewing furnishing a cleft, that was irremediable until his re turn to his former colleagues. Divid ed they fell in January, but united they stand triumphant in September. It is useless to look farther or to argue further than that in explana tion of the results on Tuesday, in New Orleans. Despite the heroic ef forts of good men and worthy lead ers, despite the impression made up on general public sentiment, and the arousing of many voters from apa thy; despite the determined efforts to purge the registration rolls and se cure a clean and free electorate; the bosses stood together, and were in vincible. They will remain invinci ble so long as they are united, and until a complete revulsion of pub lic opinion will dethrone them from their high places. One Bob Ewing has played his cards well. He fought side by side with the forces of reform, until he secured general recognition and en dorsement as national committeeman. That honorarium secured, he went back to the ring and became a big part of it. Messrs. Hamilton and Cobb sold to the State Board of Control 60 head of very fine cattle last week. Mr. James, the inspector, said they were the best they had purchased in the State. CONCERNING CANNED GOODS. Canned goods are not only a great convenience in the hot months, but are generally safer than food whi.:h has been exposed to the germ-filled air and too often handled by human germ-carriers. Great caution should be exercised by those who buy canned goods. If the can you lave bought shows a bulging outward on top or bottom, don't touch it. This bulging means that putrefactive processes are go ing on inside of the can. The gas made by this process causes the bulging. Fish canned is very apt to under go putrefactive processes. If the fish seems mushy, soft and smelly, throw it into the covered garbage can; or better still, burn it up. The symptoms of real poisoning by food which contained deadly bac teria, vary according to the kind of germs, the quantity of tainted food eaten and the constitution of the in dividual. However, the general symptoms are about the same for every one. First comes a deep, ner vous depression, with or without a stomach ache. Then your heart commences to beat like a trip ham mer and gets weaker and weaker. You find great difficulty in breath ing and have to sit up to breathe at all. Now follow vomiting and retch ing. The attack comes on suddenly, and if the vomiting is complete and your heart in good condition, you may recover rapidly. If not, coma and death may follow. The first thing to do is to get the handiest emetic. Mustard in hot water should be swallowed. Send for the near est physician and while waiting, try by hot foot baths, hot blankets and drinking hot water, to get into a sweat. In other words assist nature to throw off the poisons, in your tis sues. The race for district attorney in Baton Rouge was hot, the votes for Chas. Holcombe and John Fred Odom bing very close. GOOD ADVICE ON SNAP BEAN CULTURE IN FALL The snap bean crop Is a simple crop to raise. They will produce some beans on most any kind of sail, but the yield and quantity of the beans will depend on condition of the land. The soil best adapted for beans is a rich and well.drained plot. No water should be permitted to stand on bean ground, as it rots seed early and scalds beanbushes quick ly. To raise beans in the fall tor market, have the land thoroughly pre pared to plant them about first of September so they will be ready for picking middle of October. By that time the frosts have killed the grow ing crops as low as the middle states and the southern beans are to d- mand again. We can frequently gath er thenl in this latitude up to the first week in November before the frost killls them. The best variety for most markets is the Valentine-both red and black. Black is preferable. Some markets demand the wax beans, but on ac count of rust and other things they are not so profitable as green varfe ties. The pole or running beans are not now used extensively for commer cial purposes, too much trouble to stick and work them. The bush beans should be planted on 3%, foot rows for fall. Plant them on level, putting 3 pecks to one bushelofeeed per acre; open shallow drill and drop them so a bean will fall every i inches in the drill; cover 24 inches deep so they will have a little ridge to shed the water; cultivate shallow and frequently, pushing a little 4irt to beans each time so when finish ed (which should be when first blooms appear), you have dirt up to first limbs, and that will give very good row to shed water. This va riety of beans should be ready to pick in forty days; they ought to be four or five inches long and a little larger than a lead pencil. It they are too young, too much shrinkage, and it left too long are too tough. Gather when you would use them on your own table; they should be gath ered in afternoon and poured out as canvas or floor where it is cool and dry; let shrink through night and put in hampers next morning; the hampers are % bushel baskets; they should be well shaken and pressed down when packed. They sell from $1.00 to $2.50 per hamper; bring a yield from $30 to $60 per acre, de pending on strength of land sad jprice, like all farm products. They ought to be picked over every four days. The spring crop should be planted about tenth to fifteenth of March and marketed first weeks of May~ The crop ie out of the way early and leaves ground in fine con dition for any of staple crops to toll Be careful not to use any strog fertilizer about germinating seed un til cool weather, as it causee "damD'" and will destroy the young plant. Never use cotton seed meal about germinating seed at any time. It must be put in the ~ground and allow ed to ferment at least 10 days before planting or wait until plants are grow. ing and mix it thoroughly in soiMl Prepare to haul out and distribute all barn yard manure in Octobe 5a3 plow it under deep; plant little rye, red clover or vetch on ground and allow it to grow untll need it for other crops, then your ground will be in healthy condition when you want it. Watch paper next week for a treatise on fertilizer. Truckers should work young cab bage often, never allow the gronund to bake around them; keep fresh loose dirt drawn to the etem of the plants do not attempt to thin out hills to one plant until they are about 4 inches high. In month of Oc tober prepare your poison for ainects 1 part Paris Green to 25 parts lack lime or flour. In other words one fourth pound of Paris green to 6 lba. of lime or flour; mix thoroughly; will be an abundance for one rasleg I or 2 acres of cabbage; put it on with hand late in evening while it is calm; hold hand several feet above plant and shake a little dust o0 leaves, very light at first, when plant has third leaf; go over every ten days until frost. 8.
