the road will cross the ", S. and p.

Our Bastrop friends are sanguine
that 1t will cross near Rayville and
proceed thence north through their
town but We are equally confident
that it will come to Monroe, cross the
Ouachita and traverse the rich and
unoccupied territory Of the hills. We
have the same guarantee that our

first we +. 1ly believe that he will

DEAR SrR:-On or about July 9Th,

ported crops a. being clean and doing

informed you that crops were all
right l meant crops were o. X. If
had thrown away any Of my corn or
cotton. - I see some corn given up to
weeds and grass . few miles above
here. l would have told yeu crops
were partially clean, but - meant
in ouF immediate neighborAoed. all
are clean and were at that time.
Now. Mr. Editor, ifyou or any Of
the readers Of yosr good old paper,
RIcHLAND BEACON, think that L did
or have misrepresented crops and
their condition to you, just hitch up
your hack and drive down here to the
Parhsm place and 1 will take pleas
ure in going to every farm in this
neighborhoed and show you that crops
are D.. K.
Aud now, Mr.. Editor, + will assure
you IL crops were not o. T.. at the
time-r reported them a. such. to you,
they never we're in time past. neither
will they ever be O. K. in the future.
Perhaps he, who misstcsk e.. H foy

was filled. with such everybody else;s

IS HANGING A EAILUREs

When a jury in capital case is to
be selerted in this State the question
is uniformly asked: Are you opposed
to capital punishment If the reply
is in the affirmative, the juror is ipso
facto disqualified. Now while many
men claim to be opposed to capital
punishment to escape jury duty, it
must be confessed that there is a
large and respectable number Of PEG.
pie in every State who are candidly
and sincerely opposed to the infection
Of the death penalty.
A large number of people allow
sentiment to control them in this
matter, but there are some who op-
pose capital punishment because they
think it does not lessen crime. 1t is
quite certain that there are striking
proofs to fortify this position, and
from a recent article in the Baton
Rouge Truth We take the following
striking examples which go to show
that hanging not only does not de-
crease, but seems rather to increase,
crime:
A hanging took place four years
ago in East Feliciana parish that will
live in its local history. It was the
execution of a negro who had muir.
dered a waman. The gibbet was
erected in an open field upon the
banks of Pretty creek, within one
mile of Clinton. When the fatal day
arrived thousands Of people assembled
there, and the small boy with squirrel
like activity thronged the pine sap
lings and gum trees. The solemn
scene was converted into a celebra-
ton or picnic. Results: In a row on
the ground one man was shot in the
leg, a mule was united and stolen,
and while on their way home, not a
half mile away from the scene, two Of
the spectators who had imbibed rather
freely fell into quarrel and one cut
the other nigh unto death. Nor did
the execution have its salutary effect
upon the people at large, as more
brutal murders have taken place
among the same class since then than
during double the time previous. The
same may be said of Iberville, where
desperate crime seems on the increase
although they have had several execu-
tons there of late, and the officers are
active and vigilant in the discharge
of their duty.
In New Orleans three years ago a
noted hoodlum went to the hanging
of friend, and as a memento of the
occasion cut a piece of the rope and
put it in his pocket. On the way
home that evening, exhilarated by
drink and with ferocious instincts
aroused by the scene he had witnessed
he brutally shot down and murdered
an inoffensive citizen on Canal street
At Aberdeen, Miss, recently, {
constable was murdered in cold BLOOD
by a desperate who had turned ou
to see the execution of the murderer
of Col. Hamilton, an excellent either
of that town. The shooting took place
in stones throw of the gallows.

Hey! Bro. Carradine. In your
pamphlet exposing the La. State
Lottery, you say that they are en-
gagged in fraudulent business, they
are robbing the people and stealing
from the poor; making pilferers of
servants and that every dollar they
have is stolen money. Well, how is
it? If the above Clipping is true, the
church of New Orleans is receiving
property purchased with stolen money;
in other words the church is receiving
stolen property. We cannot UNDER
stand this. If the church is going to
use its efforts to defeat the passage of
the bill, granting a new lease of life
to the La. State Lottery Company, it
should not receive any Of its ill-gotten
gains.

There is great cry about gamb-

they seem to lose sight of everything
except the Louisiana State Lottery.
IL not the custom of throwing for

a moral sense than investing in the
State Lottery? Gambling. in any
sense is wrong; many other things are
wrong, but that which cannet be
cured must be endured.
