Has Given Up the Ghost.

For the past year or two some Of
our Populist friends hereabouts
have been constantly proclaimine
to rs that Tom Watson was reg
ular encyclopedia of knowledge
and a veritable prophet in the land.
Well, Tom says Populism is on it's
last legs, and that those who were
Democrats will become Democrats
again, and those who were Repub-
Ilcans will return to that fold again.
Tom blames Senator Butler for the
collapse, but he is honest to the
last, and so he warns his friends to
get In out of the weather.

The Railroad Election.

The election in wards one, six
and seven, relative to giving the
g. L. & G.. N. railway a five mill
tax for ten years was carried by q
large majority, both as to numbers
and values. For particulars see
proclamation of the board of super
visors, to be found in another COL
umn. Paramount box was not
counted by the board, for the reas-
on that the commissioners at that
poll did not state the number of
votes cast for and against the prop
osition, nor was the statement of
values properly made. The throw
ing out of the Paramount box in no
way affects the result, as it would
be the same whether counted or
not.
We give below the actual result
at the various polls, as follows:

Our brother editor of the Boyce
Enterprise says he learns that "sev-
eral years ago" the editor of the
CoLTAx CHRONICLE was guilty of
using his columns to help organize
poker club and took part in the
game himself, with the understand
ing that the money won be used to
buy an organ for the church." If
our Boyce neighbor cannot get
hold of more correct information
than he has obtained in this in
stance, he should retire from the
field of journalism in favor of some
one who has the industry and fair
ness to obtain facts for publication.

Arkansas Southern Railroad.


DIR. s. W. Brown, of Camden, and Cap
tain @. G. Henderson. Of Arkadelphia
Ark, were in Colfax last Wednesday, and
had conference with our citizens at
the court house. Their mission here is
looking toward the extension Of their
road. the Arkansas Southern, winch is
already completed from Fort Smith to
Junction City, in Arkansas, just over
the north line of Claiborne parish, to AL
exandria. thence to the Gulf coast, at or
near Port Arthur.
Both of the gentlemen addressed the
citizens assembled, and made interesting
and forceful arguments in favor OF rail-
roads in general, and their own line in
particular. They are allied with the
Iron Mountain system, and expect to 70
further east with their line unless extra
Inducements are afforded them to run
along Red river. They had no definite
to offer us but said nothing
short OF 5-mill tax and free rights of
way would be considered any induce
ment. The gentlemen are both pleasing
takers. and everybody felt convinced
they had good thing. Our people will
discuss the matter further, and may
with them later on relative
% building this way. !

Grant Parish Finances.

When our present police jury
took charge of the finances Of
Grant parish they found about
$1,000 of debts on hand. They
have been in Office l year and with
the worst collection of taxes for
several years, now only owe about
5000. In plain figures have been
about $1,000 short on taxes and
paid off about 5000 back debts.
IT the collection of taxes had been
close to-day the parish would not
owe dollar. With q good collec-
ton another year our parish will
not owe any thing and j,irymen
and witnesses will collect cash for
services. Peoples Demands
The revenues Of Grant parish
are fully $4,000 per annum, and
it takes no great effort to see that
the above is rather a thinly dis
guised bit of praise that will not
hold water. In the first place, in
order to reach the figure of 5000
debts, about 5000 Of the regular
current expenses of 1896 are count
ed, which of course were due in
July, 1896, when the present police
jury took charge, andvery naturally
could not be paid until after the
taxes began to come in last fall. In
the next place Judge Wear and
Judge Machen each helped the
parish $1,000 or $1,000 by postpon-
ing the terms of the court. and
greatly cut down the usual expen-
ses.
The debt of Grant parish in jan
uary, 1896, was about 5000. If it
is now 5000, as the Demands
states, then the present police jury
have barely kept the expenses of
the parish within its revenues, by
the help of the saving made in
postponing two terms of the court,
and it requires an extra stretch of
the imagination for any body to
accept this as any extra 'good
showing" on the part of our parish |
: Let them pay current expenses |
and back debts, and at the same |
time build several thousand dollars |
worth of public improvements, like
some of our former police Juries
have done, and then if they are not
more than 5000 in debt we will be
prepared to credit them with MAX
ng "a good showing" This they
'ught to do easily, as the parish
'evenues are handsomely increased
very year.

preacher not being able to get help to
carry it on. At Liberty we found Mr..
Yeager in charge of fine school of IS
or 40 bright looking pupils deeply en-
gagged in ferreting out the mysteries of
grammar and arithmetic.
Friday afternoon we had the pleasure
Of attending q singing rehearsal at the
church, by 10 or 20 of the young ladies
and gentlemen Of the surrounding coun.
try, all of whom appear to have pretty
fair knowledge Of music, aud sing with
spirit and pleasing effect.
Later in the evening the older folks be.
gan to come in, and prayer meeting
service was conducted by Rev. A. G.
Flowers, after which be assembled the
pulpit and preached sermon, dismissinQ
the congregation at early candle lighting.
We heard several express regrets that
the meeting was not carried on as antici-
pated, and the community generally
seemed to be disappointed that it was not.
Our host for Friday and Friday night
was Mr.. Nd. E. Swafford, and it was
genuine pleasure to enjoy the hospitality
OF bis home and become acquainted with
his interesting wife and family.
Saturday we drove to the old home
place of Mr.. Johua Kemp in time for
dinner. Here we found the old gentle
man and his wife comfortably fixed in a
neat cottage ON the site Of their old home,
which was burned down some time ago.
The new house is the result of the kind
help Of their thoughtful sons and sons
in-law. 1t is comfortably and convent

where we spent Saturday night and Sun

Trays Creek church, paying visit to |
Mr.. s. T. Parish, and returning home |

THE NUMBER IN LINE.

New York. April 27.-According to
careful estimates, made some time AFTER
the parade had started for review. there
were between $4,000 and $4,000 men in
line. OF this aggregate the United
States regular army and navy force
numbered 4,OOO the national guard Of
New York $4,000, and the national guard
of other states l. $50. The G. \. +. vet
Grams in line were computed at 5000.
President Mckinley left the reviewing
stand before all the parade passed and
went on board the Dolphin to review
the naval parade. When the cheering
was at its Ioudest. and when the wind
had somewhat died away, a touching
scene was enacted, which was seen by
few. Silently Mrs. Grant stole away
from the presidents stand. where she
had been watching the gallant troops
60 by. and leaning on the arm of her
son. Col. Grant made her way to the
tomb. For about ten minutes she stayed
there. and then with her face hidden in
her hands she left the scene.

running down hill at speed estimated
at fifteen miles per hour and ON reach
ing a curve about fifty feet from the
end of the bridge left the track. The
momentum the car had gained carried it
about 15O feet, where the timbers of the
bridge gave way and precipitated the
car with its load Of passengers into a
lagoon twenty feet below.
The water where the car struck was
only about eight feet deep, so the entire
car was not submerged In the fall the
trucks were broken from the super
structure of the car. which fact proba-
bly, saved number of lives, as the
upper portion soon fioated and allowed
those to escape who had not been stun
ned in the fall. Some of the victims
swan ashore. while others waited until
help arrived. After the car had been
raised it was found that the front axle
had been broken. which probably was
the cause Of the car leaving the track.

rest Of John q Keitfer, who was motor
