We have been having some real
April weather of late, remarks the
Mer Rouge Democrat. Last Satur-
day morning early risers saw white
frost and in the afternoon of the
same day we had rain.
The Episcopal Church here has
recently received new painting, the
pretty oak trees on the church yard
lawn have been trimmed up and one
would have to so miles to see pref
tier place.-Mer Rouge Democrat.
During investigation of trifiing
offence against the law in the town
of Alexandria it was developed that
a systematic crap game was carried
on, and there was positive proof that
it was sanctioned by the corporation
authorities.
Lake Charles is to have q dummy
line from the heart Of the town out
to Hoo-Hoo park. The survey has
already been made. Grading and
track laying will be completed as
fast as men can do the work, and
trains are expected to be running by
the middle of next month.
One of the facts to be kept before
our people is that trade is not suf-
fering from overproduction so much
as under consumption. Until every
hungry mouth has been fed and every
shivering body warmly clothed, all
talk about overproduction sounds
strangely inappropriate to say the
least--St. Mary Banner.
The town of Bastrop recently bor-
rowed $500 from the Police Jury OF
Morehouse parish, to assist in boring
an artesian we'll on the public square.
In the event water is obtained and
the we'll proves success, the loan is
to be considered a donation. The
town will also be under obligations
to furnish to tho parish, free of all
charges, water for the Jail and other
purposes.
The cotton plant in this section is
not in aattering condition, says &
Natchitoches correspondent to the
Picayune. tits suffering from q dis
ease known as sore shin, affecting it
by decaying the stock. The disease
is caused 10y the repeated cold waves
that have swept over this country
since the plant has come up. 1t is
apprebended that unless extreme
warm weather sets in it will be nee
essury to replant in full.
The town of Opelousas is to have
water works and electric lights. The
plant is to be constructed within the
next five months of a cost of S29,7OO.
payable in ten years, with per cent
per annum interest. The town will
own and operate it. The power will
be furnished by two $50 horse power
boilers and one 1875 horse power cleo
trio light engine. The stand pipe
will be of steel, eighty feet high, and
of $4,000 gallons capacity.

The Love of Woman.
Let the woman YOU look upon

Let the woman you look upon be
wise or vain, beautiful or homely,
rich or poor, she has but one thing
she can really give or refuse-her
heart. Her beauty, her wit, her &C
complishments she may sell to you,
but her love is the treasure without
price. She only asks in return that
when you look upon her your eyes
shall speak mute devotion; that
when you address her your voice
shall be gentle, loving and kind;
that you shall not despise her be-
cause she cannot understand, all at
once, your vigorous thoughts and
ambitious plans, for when misfort-
une and evil have defeated your
greatest purposes, her love remains
to console you. You look upon the
trees for strength and grandeur; do
not despise the flowers because their
fragrance is all they have to give.
Remember, love is all they have to
bestow-but it is the only earthly
thing which God permits US to carry
beyone the grave.-Pine Bluff Conn.,
mercial.
The levee system is not farce.
This fact has certainly been clearly
demonstrated during the past few
weeks. There is q limit to the
power of resistance in anything.
Nothing can be made so strong and
powerful which some force more
powerful will not break. The best
steam boiler ever manufactured will
resist just so much steam pressure
and no more. The strongest and
most powerful structure ever erected
will resist powerful wind storms, yet
will crumble before the force of q
cyclone. The levee system is good
thing and should not be condemned
simply because it has not successfully
held the greatest flood of modern
times.-Shrereport Journal.

They Wont Kick.

We do not believe there is a
single tax payer on the East Side
who would kick, should he see the
street commissioner dumping some
rock or even dirt in the unsightly
holes on Broad street between Pine
and Vine. We have not called at
tention to these holes before for
the reason we did not think the
street commissioner was blind, and
that he could see the need himself
We now believe he has overlooked
the holes and we trust we may be
pardoned for calling his attention
to the matter. We should keep
our main street looking neat, even
if we let the others 90 to ruin.

BIGGEST GUN EVER MADE. q
Mammoth Weapon of Death That
Will Belong to Uncle Sam.

Such a gun is being built at the
government arsenal at Watervliet,
N. Y, as this country never saw
and the most imaginative of war
riofs half a century ago would new
er have dreamed of.
When the weapon of death and
destruction, the enormous forgings
for which are now being put to-
gether, is finished, three years from
now, it will weigh $4,000 pounds
and will hurl a shell over 70 miles.
1t will be mounted without doubt
at one OF the forts, Hamilton or
Wadsworth, at the entrance OF
New York harbor, and woe betide
the hostile ship which shall venture
to approach within range of this
gigantic watch dog.
General Flagler, Chief of Ord
nance, says the new gun will be
worth in most emplacements a doz-
en- l2-inch weapons. One shot from
it will do more damage than a whole
series of projectiles fired from the
smaller guns, The new destroyer
is to be 1857 feet long; the bore
will be 16 inches, the maximum di'
ameter Of the gun at the breech 62
inches at the muz2le ~. The total
capacity of the bore is l2l, 487 cubic
inches. The powder chamber will
have a capacity of 10000 cubic
inches. The charge of powder re-
quisite to a discharge will weigh
1000 pounds. If fred from Fort
Wadswortb it would plump a l,37O
pound steel projectlle down in the
village OF Yonkers, The velocity OF
the shot as it bids goodbye to the
big gun would be 1875 feet a sec.
ond, nearly as swift again as sound.
With this force the shell could be
driven through 33 inches Of steel at
the guns mu2ale, and 275 inches at
a distance Of $500 feet.
When this mammoth gun is com
pleted 1t will be tested on the
grounds at Sandy Hook, and then,
If satilactory, will be mounted
where 1t will do the most good In
the protection of American goods
and chattels against foreign foe.
For many years efforts have been
made to secure the construction OF
a gun on these gigantic plans, but
It was not until a year ago that
permission was obtained, 1t is now
conceded that0the increased power
of modern navel weopons makes
imperative for coast defense the
possession of guns which will carry
further than the greatest possible
range Of anything that can be used

The Williams News announces new
policy hereafter as follows: The News
has made it practice to keep its col
unns clear Of acandal. For the sake
of its many young readers it has shield
ed transgressors. Patience has abaut
ceased to be virtue. There are just u
few fellows who seem to possess an er-
roneous idea Of the power OF the press,
and their high -handedness must neces-
sarily be the result of a ''come back. ;"
The man of the town who thinks the
reporters don't know, is as foolish as
the merchant who doesn't advertise
Don't think, gentlemen, that because
your name doesn't appear the reporters
have no idea that you have gone. Don
think for an instant that because the
personal mention reads John Smith
left for Phoenix Wednesday for aweek's
stav." the reporter doesn't know that
John Smith won't to Los Angeles, and
lust what he went fer. Furthermore,
don't carry the impression that promi-
nence is going to eXcu.e you with the
News any longer. The News is not
afraid of any individual, but the edi-
tors desire to place clean and above
criticism journal before his readers has
been the reason for indecency so far.
