THOSE PUB IC SCHOOL RUILDINGo,
our Citizens Seem In Earnest Abo,t
Building Them.

Building Them.
Some little while ago the spirit
OF desire to build adequate school
houses for our public schools broke
out aircsh in the minds and hearts
OF our school board and citizens,
and the sentiment was sown to
windward with excellent signs of
gathering in suitable harvest.
A subscription list was started
and soon several liberal men
placed their names thereon for
amounts which aggregated nearly
S3,5OO.. Then the net dragged |
fruitlessly for awhile, though by
no means in a discouraging man
ner. Then Shreveport's evil gen
JUS took y hand and soon abig call
"signcd by a handful of men APP
pcarcd in the papers, as the
mighty will Of 'wc the people, ~
And we are reliably informed that
some of these names were signed
without authority although the
gentlemen are heartily in accord
with the project.
1t seems that some men in
Shreveport are determined to be
prominent even if they have to, as
the saying goes, "makc a little hell
of their own and so instead of
either having the call signed by a
large number of citizens or having
no signature at all, the old thread
bare story was told and some men
were heard to say, "Great heavens!
must the training of our children
be made the vehicle to boom some
one or coterie, politically?
As far as The PROGRESS is con-
cerncd, it Is too deeply interested
in the subject to allow such as this
to mar or dampen its ardor, but it
has always had a contempt for this
big "I' and little "U' mode of al
fairs in our city and will frequent
ly say so, when it appears as
prominent as it seems to have done
in this matter.
But now for the work on hand.
Shreveport must have these school
houses, and we belivc it 'ciU have
Them soon. Our citizens have
: never yet failed in an object they
7 undertook to gain; and they seem
= to have taken up this matter with
r that same, not grim, but with en-
e thusiastic determination
G THE PROGRESS is in the work
3 heart and soul. 1t has always
been and will continue to the end
.! The committee appointed has
;, gone to work with earnestness
S tact and system and a plan has
ii been submitted which will operate
a admirably. This is to have tn
T taxpayers sign petition to tn
II city council to have a special ta'
n levied for the purpose. VI cours
y the committee knows this will no
: be legal, but it likewise know
= there cannot be found a corporal

Editor of the PLANET

Editor of the PLANET:
Dear sir 1T was
with JOY and thanksgiving l read your
note of the 9TH inst, telling the news
of Pokey Barnes acquittal. 1t is one
of the few instances where right tri-
umphs over might. May it prove an
assurance to US that some day in the
near future equal rights before the
law shall prevail for al irrespective OF
color
The day of the acquittal was the eli
max of the supreme effort of your life
and deserves a place in song and story
when the true history of our people il
given with their courage and sacri-
fees.
Success may not always attend your
efforts, prosperity may not shine ever
upon your path through life. but moth
ing can dim this vision of the present,
and were | blessed with an artist
skill, / would deem it q eat favor to-
place upon canvass your rescue of a
human soul from the arms OF the gal
lows.
That you may be equally successful
in your labors for the other two help
less women is my prayer. May your
physical strength stand the strain, foI
your courage and daring, we have ne
fear.
With earnest congratulations, re-
main yours for justice,

An English gentleman of letters has
recently evolved from the musty pages
of history some new and exceedingly
interesting data regarding the origin Of
the gaudy barber pole. Its first begin
nings, this gentleman says, were in the
days of the barber surgeons. In early
times, the tradition goes, both medicine
and surgery were in the hands of bar
bers, as indeed they continued to be for
many centuries afterward. The old the
DRY was that the men of the razor were
the worthiest to handle the lancet, and
even in the middle ages the lancet was
the one great instrument of medicine,
as blood letting was one Of the chief
practices Of the time.
In the days of old, during the opera
ton of bleeding the patient used to
grasp a stick which the barber surgeon
kept ready for use that the pain might
be lessened, in just the same way as In
the days before chloroform was invent
ed people undergoing a severe operation
frequently chewed lead bullets. Around
this stick was twined a supply Of ban
dages for tying up the arm of the patient
When not in use, the pole was hung at
the door as sign. In the course of time
painted staff was displayed instead Of
the one actually used during the opera

DANVILLE LETTER

DANvILLF, VA, May 10th. 1896
The May Queen at the Loyal ST. Bap-
list Church Monday night last was
very largely attended AID we are OF
the opinion that it was a decided sue
cess financially. 7 he affair was under
the skillful management of Miss p. NJ.
Barksdale. She is indeed a church
worker and deserves much credit for
her efforts. The young ladies' that took
part were very handsomely dressed
and made a fine appearance. A young
man was heard to say that had he an
idea of making selection for future
from that crowd it would be the puz-
zle of his Iife,a as for dress al good looks
to fully satisfy himself he would be
compelled to select them al. 1t is a
foregone conclusion, that our girls can
look good when they want to.
On Tuesday night, May 26th the
same young ladies with a few Others
will take part in a May Queen at Cal
vary Baptist Church under the man
agement of Mrs. A. e. BufOrde.
The final examinations are in pro
gress at the HOlbrook st. Public

Eta Advantages and Disadvantages FOE the
Sportsman Described.
According to Sportsmen's Review
writer, smokeless powder is confusingly
varying. If the rife is used on a warm
day, it shoots with smokeless powder
with fiat trajectory and great penetra-
frozen stiff and shoots differently, TAX
ing a high trajectory and giving less
penetration, and so the smokeless pow.
der user would do well to take Their
mOmeter along marked with the varia-
tion of inches in the trajectory. The
smoleless powder would be worth the
trouble, evidently, because ''the bullet
fired by 80 grains of the smokeless tore
a third larger hole than the bullet fired
by 20 grains of black powder. " That
means that n deer shot in the paunch
with a 40 caliber bullet driven by
smokcless would die in half the time
that one shot with black powder driv-
Ell bullet would, because the shock is so
much greater with the swifter smoke
less ball, which literally flies to pieces.
Another thing about the smokeless
powdes is not inconsiderable.

Immediately, for ON firing it the 200
animals disappeared in cloud of smoke
that only dissipated as the tail end of

In the woods more so than on the

jumped sideways after each shot to get
another because of the smoke. A boy

rondack runway jumped down 10 foot
bank, striking in waist deep water, that
he might get another shot at the deer.
The last shot killed the deer as it land

and the five shots fired left cloud o.
