Benton.
BENTON, La, MARCH Is, 1894.

BENTON, LA, MARCH 10, l0J4s
Editor Banner AS it is customa-
ny for people to say something of
their home towns through their local
papers, I will goin print this time on
Benton as manufacturing center
or that the town could be made a
manufacturing center Of considerable
importance. Only about four years
ago, where Benton now is, was
dense pine forest, the home of the
wild turkey and deer. About this
time the location was selected as a
town site, and also as the county
seat. Since that time many fine
buildings have been erected, and are
being builded annually, from lumber
bought and shipped here from other
places. Yet, as above stated, the
town is situated in the midst of fine
pine and hardwood forest. There is
no saw or planning mill here, or near
here. This is all merchantable timber,
and for sale at from 20 to so cents
per thousand stumpage, or 81 rs to
80 so per acre, and from three to
fourteen thousand feet per acre
about one-fourth oak timber. Our
shipping facilities are unexcelled.-
We are on a direct line of railroad to
all the principal cities-Kansas City,
Chicago, st. Louis, Dallas, New Or
leans, &c. Freight rate, sixteen to
twenty-five cents. There is from
six to one hundred million feet of
timber now in one body in this vicin-
ity, and for sale, as above stated
The reason that no mill or numbering
enterprises have not heretofore been
established here is because the pro-
motors of the town have been busy
improving other facilities. There is
abundant timber here--pine and oak
to run for many years big saw and
planning mill and a hoop and stave
factory and wagon timber factory.
The merchants and business men
of Benton are anxious for and will
welcome any manufacturers who To-
cate here. The climate is healthy !;
land generally level and sandy !;
churches, schools, &C., good.
Benton is on st. Louis Southwest
err Railroad, about Ats miles south
from st. Louis.
Yours, &c.

The New Orleans Free Press is
willing to sacrifice portion of our
representation in Congress in order
to regulate matters in our own State.
It says: GAS to the representation
in the councils of the nation, let it go.
We should not want a power based
upon a fraud. And we should be
willing to surrender some of our con-
troll in national affairs to get an hon
est control of our local affairs. To
get, honestly, the government of Lou
isiana for her good people, we should
be willing to give up dishonest con-
troll of the affairs of the nation"

Fourth Congressional District
Nomination.

AS popular vote seems the most
desirable and customary of late years,
and is the best method to reach the
wishes of the people, in a contest
where there are number of candi-
dates, primary election and plu-
rality vote should prove acceptable
and desirable to settle the choice
Conventions are Objectionable for
many reasons, while the primary gives
better opportunity to reach the ex-
pressed wishes of the masses. The
people largely complain that they are
handicapped by conventions which
are not criterions of public senti-
ment, and prefer choice through the
ballot box. It is this spirit that has
evoked the demand for the election of
Senators by popular vote, and the
same spirit requires the selection of
candidates for Representatives. Let
the choice be made by primaries
Shreveport Times.
The white primary plan is the only
true Democratic test, being represen-
tative in the fullest manner, by letting
every Democrat have voice in the
matter.

Following decision was rendered by
the Supreme Court in session in New
Orleans Monday:
No. 11,457-State of Louisiana VS..
VIM. Kye-Appeal from the Second
Judicial District Court, for the Par
ish of Bossier.-Shooting in a dwell
ing house is the crime charged
Shooting in the house at person in
the house was the proof. New trial
was granted by the trial Judge be.
cause the proofs did not establish
that the crime charged had been COM
mitted. The ruling is sustained
The proof of shooting in house at
person who is also in the house is
not the proof required to show that
a person shot at dwelling house,
there being persons therein. Judg.
ment affirmed.

Court Of Appeals.

The judges of the Supreme Court
are appointed by the Governor, and
those of the Court of Appeals are
neither chosen by the people nor ap-
pointed by the executive, but are
elected by the two houses of the leg
islature in joint assembly. We do
not think a worse system could be
devised, especially as to the mode of
selecting the last named judges. It
permits, nay, encourages trading and
bartering over the election of the Of
fcers into whose hands is committed
the administration of justice, and re-
tains all the Objectionable elements
of popular election of judges, without
any of its advantages.
We should advocate a change in
the manner of the selection of these
judges were there not more desira-
BILE change in regard to them, and
that is their abolition. The court is
a fifth wheel to the judicial wagon in
Louisiana. In most of the country
| parishes it was practically nothing to
do. The amounts in dispute in the
cases submitted to the court scarcely
amounting to the sums paid the
judges as salary. The Supreme Court
is amply able to do all the business
of an Appellate Court in the State
now, and the Constitutional Com
mission should recommend the abo-
lition of the Courts of Appeal.-N. o.

He Took HIS LEAvE.-The Rams
Horn is responsible for the following.
A country minister in a certain local
ity took permanent leave of his con-
gregation in the following pathetic
manner:
Brothers and sisters, I come to
say goodbye. I don't think God
loves this church very much, because
none of you ever die. I don't think
you love each other, because I never
marry any of you. I don't think you
love me, because you have not paid
my salary; your donations are mouldy
fruit and wormy apples, and by their
fruit ye shall know them Brothers,
I am going away from you to a better
place. I have been called to be cham
plain of a penitentiary. Where I go
ye cannot come, but 60 to prepare
a place for you, and may the Lord
have mercy on your souls. Good bye. "

An exchange never uttered great
er truth than when it said that a
farm on a poor road is not worth as
much as farm on a good road. The
farm on the poor road may have inst
as good soil, capable of predicting
just as good crops and the improve
ments may be equally as good in
every way as those of the farm on the
good road, yet no man of sense will
pay as much for it. How true it is,
then, that no class of people are so
deeply and vitality interested in
the improvement of highways as the
farmers themselves.-.Croaoley Signal.

The enemies of society in Europe
were never more active or more mis-

Shall lie at your feet like the stones of fate;
And you shall find for your strength and toll
The seed spring up on another's soil!
