portant acquisition to this sec
tion-andare an excellent illustra-
tion of the marvellous advance of
modern science i'll mechanical
lines in the Improvement of mill
ing machinery. In an agrlcul-
tural country one is necessary to
the other-the mills to the farm
ers and the farmers to the mills.
This is grand com bina-
ton, and is, essentially, a
home institution, operated and
owned by home people, and fed
by our home farmers. That the
latter have felt the need of just
such an up-to-date milling insti-
tuition is attested by the fact that
the stockholders of these new
mills number many prominent
farmers throughout this imme-
diate section, together with many
of the best business men of Hop
kinsville. They are directed by
an able and enterprising body of
men in this city. The advan-
tages of cooperation are becom-
ing more and more apparent to
the citizens of the United States,
and no better example of such a
policy can be cited than the
above. Believing firmly in the
strength of union, these men
joined forces, and to-day, repre-
sent one of the strongest milling
companies in this section of the
country. Their new mill is
strictly up to date in all its equip
ments, and is, at once, pride and
a boon to Hopkinsville! The
ground plan of the main struc-
ture is 155x36 feet, and the mill
ing building proper is four
stories high, presents a com
manding appearance, and is the
very 'acme" of neatness and
beauty. In connection, is a large
brick warehouse, also, a receiv-
ing wheat bin or granary, meas
uring 34x12O feet. The mill has
a daily capacity of more than 800
barrels. 1t is built along the l..
& N. h. h. tracks, and to facili-
tate convenience and dispatch,
the Milling Company have con-
structed a side-track to their
building. The management of
the institution is in the hands of
w. P. Norton, President; J. b.
Galbreath, Secretary and Treas
urer; with r. H. DeTreville as
Business Manager. The latter
gentleman, is well and favorably
known for many years in this
section, has been for fourteen
years successfully engaged in
the milling business in this city,
All the management are comPe-
tent and experienced milling
men. and the Mills will be a lead
ing industry in the community,
The directors of the corporation
include the above named officials
as also II. l.. Graham and &. ii
Dietrich.
The equipment of the mills
are of the very best, the new
roller process being a marked
feature. The fact that every
piece of machinery used in ITS
1construction is furnished by tho
Nordyke and Norman Co., OF In
dianapolis-a firm whose fame II
it's line is not confined to the
United States is proof that the
equipments are of the latest ant
best.
The mill itself is in the hands
of men who need no introduction
to this sec ection-where theil
names stand for hGpesty. intcg
rity, and justice, so that the tar
mers of this country need have
no hesitancy in entrustlng thell
future interests to this institu
ton. They are a reliable bod,
of men, and we predict for then
bright and prosperous future

Every indication points to a most
successful occasion at the COM
mencement exercises of the State
University to take place on the 10th
of June. These occasions are always
full of interest to the people Of
Louisiana and our most prominent
citizens from every section of the
State come to participate in the
gay cites that mark the occasion or
to witness the interesting exercises
always held at such times. Besides,
there are boys here from almost
every parish in the State and these
all have friends or relations who
take an interest in the University
and are glad to be able to witness
the events of which their friend
may be one OF the central figures.
The old University is fast becoming
in fact as we'll as in name a State
University and its circle of friends
is gradually widening and extend
ing. The grand work it has done
in the past is its best ADVERTISE
ment and to this it looks tor its
substantial support in the future.
The commencement will probably
be the most brilliant In its history.

Broker Chapman has very luxu-
rious quarters in the Washing ton
Jail. He occupies a suite of two
rooms, one of which is handsomely
furnished, as parlor, in which he
receives distinguished guests, and
the other is used as bed-chamber.
If he were poor man blankets and
bucket of water, and when he
conversed with friends, provided he
was fortunate enough to secure that
privilege, he would have to poke
his nose through an iron grating

It is an outrageous shame.
and a rich man is convicted of
crime, but he is either pardoned or
granted privileges which are denied
the poor man who seldom escapes
punishment. There seems to be a
set of laws for the rich and one for
the poor. The United States is
fast becoming a country where the
rich man may violate the laws with
impunity at his own sweet will; and
yet some people do not seem to see
why it is that socialism and anarchy
are increasing with alarming rapid
ity.
Let the servants of the trusts and
monopolies continue to trample on
the rights of the citizen Their
cringing obsequiousness to the rich
and contemptuous disregard for the
rights of the poor will not always
be tolerated, but it will serve to
hasten the day of reckoning which
is sure to come.

POSTAL WINS ITS SUIT II.
GA/NST TIE LOUISIANA
WESZERN ROAD.

The Postal Telegraph and Gable
Company has finally won its exPro-
priation suit against the Louisiana
Western Railroad Co., in the Su-
prene Court through Chief ostice
Nichols. The decision was
handed down this morning, and
while it gives the telegraph COM
pany judgment it increaaes the
amount the plaintiffs were origi-
nal1y decreed to pay the railroad
company for the use of its right of
way from the city of Lafayette to
Sabine river, a distance of 1854
miles.
The plaintiff won the case in the
lower court and also in the Su-
preme Court. The latter court held
that the act of 1880 gave the tele-
graph company the ri ght of way
prayed for. Concluding the opin-
ion read:
awe have reached the conclu-
sion that the amount awarded to
defendant is too small and that it
shall be increased. For the reason
herein assigned, it is hereby ad-
judged and decreed that the judg-
ment appealed from be and the
same is hereby amended by order
ing and decreeing that the rights
described in plaintiffs petition be
and the same is hereby condemned,
appropriated and adjudged to the
petitioner the Postal Telegraph
Gable Company of Louisiana as a
right of. way for the purposes, and
subject to the conditions set forth
and prayed for in said petition, the
same to rest on petitioner upon
payment by plaintiff to the defend
ant of the sum of $21oo"
This decision is of considerable
interest to the railway, telegraph
and legal public. - States, May TO-
From the above it will be seen
that the decision of the Supreme
Court has considerably raised the
price per mile. When the case was
tried in this parish the jury fixed
the valuation at 49, 50 per mile. 1t
was considered fair and equitable
verdict, but from the opinion of the
Supreme Court it seems that it was
not. Verdicts of juries in suits for
damages and appropriations are
generally reversed or amended.
The opinions of juries are evidently
not held in high esteem by the
Supreme Court.

senate sugar schedule, of which he
said:
ssFrom the Republican point of
view, it would be better that the
tariff bill should fall than that the
senate sugar schedule should stand.
1t Is the most brazen and audacious
hold-up of the century. 1t makes
train robbing respectable. 1t has
no excuse, except the Unsuitable
greed and rapacity of the most
shameless squad of plunderers that
ever escaped the peoitentiary.
Ordinary marauders are content to
rob bank or swindle a community.
These brigands propose to pillage
the nation and to compel congress
ty become their accomplices. The
trust schedule will destroy competi-
ton, annlhilate the beet sugar in
dustry, and add to the oppressive
burdens of every citizen of the
United States for the avowed Pur-
pose of swelling the already inordi-
nate gaids of remorseless mono
poly. These are the performances
that explain populism, and which,
if not restrained, will make anarchy
possible"

Lincoln and JEFF Davis.

Malcolm Townsend has pointed
out condolences of events in the
lives of Lincoln and jeff Davis.
Both were born in Kentucky, Lin
coin in 1909, Davis in 1908. Both
removed from their native State in
childhood, Davis goingto the South
west, Lincoln to the Northwest.
In the Black Hawk war Davis was a
Second Lieutenant of regulars,
Lincoln a Captain of volunteers.
Both began their political careers in
the same period, in 1914, Davis
being presidential elector for Polk,
Lincoln a presidential elector for
Henry Clay. Both were elected to
Congress at about the same time,
Davis in lS45, Lincoln in 1916.
Lastly, in the same year and almost
the same day, they were called upon
to preside over the destinies of their
respective governments, Davis as
President of the Confederate States,
February 8, 1861, and Lincoln as
President of the United States,
March 4, 1961.-New York Press.
