Popular violence upon criminals or
alleged criminals is a popular protest
against the insufficiency and unrelia-
bility of the legal methods of dealing
with the worst classes of offenders.
The people have seen the bloodiest
murderers escape through legal tech
nicalities, through insanity pleas and
through the long delays in which all
the important witnesses die, or are
bought off, or otherwise made away
with, and they have become very
doubtful that any good can come
from allowing the law to take it's
course.
In England, from which our Amer
lean criminal law was derived, there
is such thing as swift and certain
punishment for those who are found
guilty. That is, indeed, the rule, and
the result is that violent crimes there,
even in London, the most populous
city on the globe, are, in proportion
70 the population, vastly fewer than
in the United States, while lynchings
are unknown. By the American sys.
tenn crime is encouraged and pro-
tected, while in England it is re-
pressed and punished.--Picayune.

Benton, a Growing Young
Town.
Busy Bee in the Caucasian. I

Busy Bee in the Caucasian.
The most wholesome sign of
Shreveport's progress is the growth
of the adjacent towns whose mer-
chants purchase largely from Shreve-
ports wholesale houses. One of the
best of the new towns is Benton, on
the Cotton Belt Railway, fourteen
miles north of this place. Situated
On the confines of fine agricultural
and timber country, its trade is
large and almost entirely on a cash
basis. The stave and tie industry
gives employment the year round to
several hundred men, and hundesds
of laborers and their families are en-
ployed in the productive cotton and
corn fields of Bossier.
Benton is a town of about six
hundred souls. Its business men
are intelligent, liberal and progress
sive.
One of the first buildings erected
by the founders of the town was
good two-story public school build
ing. The School Board was fortu-
nate in securing Prof. and Mrs. A. S.
Dale of Shreveport for the school
last session; the patronage since
then has increased so largely that it
was necessary to employ an assistant
in September, and Mrs. G. B. Terry,
a teacher of experience and we'll
known ability, was secured.
Among public improvements are
handsome brick Court House, a
pretty church edifce and a commo-
dious two story frame building
known as the Benton Hotel. The
affable host, Capt. S. M. Thomas,
very obligingly showed us over the
building during our visit to Benton
last week, and we noted that it was
completely and comfortably furnish.
ed, we'll heated and lighted.
The pretty homes of Benton can
not fail to attract the attention of
visitors. It is the people after all
that make town, and when they
combine home-loving instincts with
business thrift, refined, moral SEN
timent will prevail.
The election of public spirited
Mayor and Town Council last week,
insures progressive and liberal mu-
nicipal administration. With these
and many other advantages Benton
has frst-class weekly newspaper,
the old reliable "Banner," whose
shoulder is always at the wheel of
Progress. Benton and her good
people have our best wishes for
success.

Final Report of Grand Jury.

To the Hon. J. T. Watkins, presiding
Judge Of the Second Judicial Dis
trict Court, Bossier Parish, La:
We, the Grand Jury empaneled for
this term OF your Honorable Court,
beg leave to report, that we entered
upon and have discharged the duties
imposed upon us with care, diligence
and full knowledge of our respon-
sibility.
We have examined seventy-fve
violations of the law, and have found
thirty-nine true bills, and ignored
thirty-six cases. In the following
cases we had insufficient evidence,
being unable to get the witnesses
before US to pass upon, and turn
them over to the District Attorney
to file bills of information and leave
as unfinished business. List at
tached.
We have examined the list of road
overseers handed US by the Police
Jury and find the roads, of which
the following persons are overseers,
in bad condition: U. G. Manuel,
L. M. Winston, L. P. Peyroux, Gus
Riley, J. j. Crouch, Jno. A. Skannal,
r. E. Wyche, G. D. Sandidge, J. w.
Rabb, Henry Love.
We would recommend that the
members of the Police Jury inspect
the roads closer and call overseers
attention to bad road in their ward
and in case they fail to attend to it
to report them to the Grand Jury at
next term of Court.
We have examined the Offices of
Sheriff, Clerk and Parish Treasurer,
and find their books, records and Of
fees well kept and in excellent order.
The Jail and prisoners therein we
have examined and find in good con-
dition and well kept, but would sug-
gest that the cells be reprinted in
side and out, which would add much
to its appearance.
We wish to extend our thanks to
your Honor, the District Attorney,
and the Sheriff and Clerk and their
deputies for courtesies, advice and
prompt assistance in our official
duties.
And, now, may it please the Court,
as we have discharged our duties to
the best of our ability, we ask this,
our final report, be received and that
we be discharged from further labors
at this term of Court.
Very Respectfully,
N. W. SENTELL, Foreman.
