The Shed Read.

We are creditably informed that the
proposed shed over the road between Red
Chute and shreveport 10 now being rapid
ly constructed; that the shed will lie conf
pleted to within one hundred yards of
Billiards residence by the LIST Of October,
and that the bitches are being cut as fast
as the shed Is being built. Consequently
there will be hard dry road across the Red
River bottom by the time our cotton is
ready for market. Beeides making the
road better for travel the new road il q
mile shorter than the old. This shed road
completed and we have easy access to
Shreveport at all seasons, which has not
been the case heretofore. This road, as
many Of our readers know, has been CON-
pleted from Red Chute out some three
miles or more for now several years, and
those who have passed that way during
the last four or five winters are awake to
the great benefit that this road will be TO
those of our citizens who have occasion to
carry their produce to Shreveport, the
best cotton market in North Louisiana, as
we'll rs the best grucery market.
Had Shreveport been awake to her own
interest abe would have secured the com
pletion of this road years ago. For by
thi. means she would have had the hand
ling Of hundreds and thousands Of bales
of cotton that have sought other markets,
in consequence Of the impossible condi-
ton of the Red River bottom. The road
across this bottom in dry seasons is good
but il takes but little rain to render il al
most impossible. at least for loaded teams
And this shed, which is bHil, some ten
feet high and fifteen feet wide. protects
the road from the rain; and the bitches on
either side, from which the dirt is thrown
into the road, protects the road from the
dampness of the adjacent earth, to which
it would otherwise be exposed, TINS in-
surfing high dry road at all seasons. We
only wish il success, and that the report
of it's early completion is true.

Schooi Teachiae.

In modern times the art Of school teach
ing Ia rendered. much more simple and ben
eHcial, by rcvisious, discoveries and inven-
lions, than II was In the earlier days Of our
history. The boy at twelve years Of age
who has the advantages Of all that modern
times, a. Oh educator, affords, 10 better ad-
vanced In the teIs books and In scientific
knowledge than young men Of twenty
years were In the earlier d.ys Of American
history. Patrons, boards Of trustees, and
those whose duty it is to secure the services
Of school teachers, should have an eye TO
this point aud see that their educators are
using the modern editions and taking ad-
vantage Of all the modern discoveries and
scientific inventions for the purpose of ed.
ucsting the young. 1t long since has been
discovered that the brutal manner In which
teachers, in the days Of our forrfathers,
nsed the chastising rod, is damaging in the
mental advancement Of youths, aud de
risralizing in its effects; and that moral
IN ki'ht ny
student is smilingly brought to a sense Of
his scholastic duties. And so il is equally
as plain that the cumbersome volumes
written by authors Of fifty and seventy
Ave years ago are not adequate to the ad-
vancement Of the time in which we live
There have been and are continually being
discoveries made in the various sciences
and arts taught in the schools Of the pres
ent day. Then why not give our youths
the benefit Of the discovery and improve
inent. The teachers Of the present day
should themselves, above all others, keep
posted, and when there is All advantage
offered, move up ont Of the old routine and
give the public the benefit. We are living
in an enlightened age and should not al
low the heavy wheels Of fogyism to i'm
Pede the progress Of education. The high
pressure motion Of modern discoveries
should add additional power to the efforts
Of every educator who endeavors to train
the flexible minds Of our youths-the hopes
Of our country.

The nomination Of Gen. Hancock Is a
matter that already has become part Of
the history Of the United States Of Amer
lea; and II Is back to that period that the
defraudrd millions Of American voters will
look o. the dawn of their political liberties.
Millions who, by all arbitrary Electoral
Commission. in 1915, were defrauded and
robbed, violently robbed of their elected
President, are now looking to Hancock as
their political savior, and are anticipating
the great gala day Of his inauguration ns
an era Of peace and prosperity. Then let
us turn ont on Saturday next and join
the national boom tina, Is bearing Hancock
and English on its gushing bosom with n
Hood-tide to q triumphal election, by rati.
flying their nomination en- mass.
II seems to be conceded, even by the Re-
Publican press, that their election is snre;
but we are due them an overwhelming
majority, and no pure Democrat onght to
allow the certainty Of Democratic success
TO cause him To be fess active in the great
cause Of selecting n President. Each man
should bcstir himself for one more active
aud lively campaign, and let honesty and
patriotism rule the country once more, a.
il the days Of Washington, jefferson and
the Adsms-s. Come out one and all, and
let us show q Democratic force in Clsi-
borne.

Quite lively discussion on the subject
Of mathematics, mixed with a scientific
display Of botanic and physiological
knowledge, occurred on the streets of our
town few evenings since. When We ar.
rived at the point, n considerable crowd
had assembled. and the discussion had
been progressing for some time already,
prrsumng from the thwarted looks Of the
disputants. One of the yonng men seem.
ed to think that the deep waters Of msth.
ematics would be the better sailing for his
craft, while his opponent Thought that his
anchor would cleave with greater safety
To the adhesive bottom of physical sci
-nce. And thus they were drifting upon
the sea Of uncertainty with their sails
r'ddled by the storms Of opposition, until
their reckoning was lost, and each becom.
ing perpleS-d in finding a safe harbor in
which to enter, the whole terminated in
three loud cheers for Hancock and Eng.
fish.

Homer Shooting Club.

At last our town has regular organized
shooting club, consisting of some fifteen
members, most of whom bear some rrpu-
iaiion already rs being experts at shooting
on the wing But they have now associa-
ted themselves together for the purpose Of
practicing by shooting at glass balls
thrown from Bogardns trap.
Last Friday in the afternoon the club
went out to the Fair Grounds TO practice
for the second time. That clever young
man, A. II. Davidson, the president of the
club, offered us seat in the buggy with
him and we went out TO see and hear the
sport Of glass ball shooting, which at pres
ent is q novelty in our town, but from
prospects will not be much longer. The
following is the scoring for this, the second
trial:
A II Davidson, s; Joe Shelton. I; A +

son, 4; James Egan Jr., 8; c II Brown, 10;
Joe Gladney, s; J II Jordan, J.
There was good crowd Of spectators
ont, some few ladies', and all enjoyed the
sport hugely. This spirit Of glass ball
shooting seems to be gaining quite favor
in this section. II is an innocent means
of sport, while it makes those who prac.
tice it more expert with the use of the
gun. Quite a number of breech loading
shot-guns have been sold by merchants Of
our town lately, and they are still in de-
mand. Hence, gun dealers would do well
TO boom the present excitement.

An Extra Session.

There is great clamoring by one wing
Of the Democratic party in the city of
New Orleans for an extra session Of the
Legislature. The object for which they
claim this extra session is to change the
Charter of New Orleans. Now the Gen
eral Assembly sat last spring for the full
time Of the constitutional limit of ninety
days, and spent days and weeks on char
ter bill for New Orleans and finally sue
cee'led in getting n bill granting to that
city new Charter, through both branchrs
Of tue General Assembly, and the bill
waa sent to his EAcellency, Governor
Wilt, aud he vetoed The same. There not
being sufficient power in favor of the new
Charter TO pass the bill over the Govern
or's veto the city is lrft to swelter aud
groan under Charter placed upon her by
an arbitrary radical administration. 1t
seems to tbs that if New Orleans wants
n new Charter, as she certainly does, that
onr new administration should have given
her one, even though the one offered
might not have been perfect in all its
parts, it certainly would have been more
acceptable to the citizens of New Orleans
than the one they now have. Demo
cratic Legislature would certainly offer a
more acceptable instrument than the one
forced upon that oppressed city during
the dark days of reconstruction. II seems
to MS that it was saying but little for
legislative body, elected by ones own par.
ty, to hurl back in its face a bill Of it's
own making, thereby saying that yonr's is
not so good rs the one masticated, digest
ed aud spewcd ont by that fraudulent
body who was not composed Of the repre-.
-entativ-s Of the people. Bu' such is the
case, and the city Of New Orleans rraps
no benefits, comparatively, from the new
Constitution. And these are the crcum-
stances that force from some Of its citizens
Legislature. While we are willing To ad.
init that New Orleans ought TO have
new Charter we can not favor an extra
session, but oppose il first, last and all the
time. Besides We have no assurance that
il there was one, and that il had met and
spent the entire session Of twenty days,
the constitutional limit for an extra SEES
sion, on new Charter, that it would be
accepted by the Governor. Somebody is
responsible for this state Of things, and
when ferreted ont the condemnation shonld
rest upon those to whom it belongs. 1t
was the habit of the Radical party during
its unwarrantable rule to call An extra
session annually; and it was for this, to-
geth-r with many other eItravagant
measures, that We opposed it. And in the
first year of Democratic rule, after
regular session of three months, to have
an extra session would I've saying that We
differ more in name than in the manner of
administration. New Orleans. in this par
ticular, has been unfortunate, il is true,
bnt she must bear with her lamrntable
condition yet for a while longer. We can
not afford to waste the funds of the treas
nry, which are now scarce and precious,
