II NEK RAILROAD.

This parish needs lower freight
rates. The man who raises cotton,
or cane, or rice, must get the best
and the cheapest transportation fa
cilities. The Southern Pacific is
neither better nor worse than any
other railroad company. 1t should
always be depended upon to make
all the money that it can. The
only thing that will give the people
better rates is competing line.
Another railroad that will carry the
products of the soil to the markets
of the world is what every man in
this parish should work for. The
man who lives on the Southern
Pacific road is as much interested
in the building of new railroad as

the State and Federal governments.
In the case of the producer it
bigger tax. For these and other
reasons the courts of the country
have correctly held that railroad
companies can be regulated and
kept within legitimate bounds by
legislation, but unfortunately gov
ernmental agencies such as railroad
commissions, do not, as rule, af
ford fair and equitable protection
and the people must look to COM

road running through this parish
would give that competition, and
for this, if~for no other realson, the
people of this parish should get

their energies together toward Sc
curing the proposed railroad which
is to run from a point fifteen miles
west of Junction City on the
line between Arkansas and Loulsi-
ana to Vermilion Bay.
Hon. Overton Cade, of the fourth
ward, was in Lafayette this week,
people of his section were thor
oughly alive on this question of
new railroad. Mr.. Cade said that
the people of Royville and the sur
rounding country would be willing
to cooperate with the citizens of
the town of Lafayette and of other
portions of the parish in a move
ment having for its object the con-
sideration of this matter. In an
article, which appeared in the
Times Democrat on March II, and
to which our attention was called
by Mr.. Cade, the information is
given that the contract to build the
new road has been awarded to a
Philadelphia firm and the whole
line is to be completed within the
next two years. Mr.. Cade pro-
poses that meeting be held here
at an early date for the purpose of
effecting some kind of an organiza-
ton whose duty it will be to com
municate with the officers of the
company and to take all other steps
that may be deemed necessary at
this time.
From the tone of the article from
which this information is obtained
there seemed to I've no doubt that
the proposed road will be built and

ZERACCHABOaM.
Writes the Chronicles of QUITS,
the Scribe, and DOuthit, the
High Priest Of the Tenn
pie of Booze,

United States army, has written
the following article to The
Greenwood Index, of which paper
he was formerly y editor. 1t will be
RENE m bered that the chronicles
prophecies Of Zsracchaboam were
widely read In 1892, and excited
much amusemen The following
chronicles will be read with much
interest:
1. Now when Zeracch boam
was returned from the tents of
Uncle Sam he did journey unto
his own country, even the land
called Tillmania.
9. But as he journeyed he was
oppressed by great thirst, and it
chanced that there was in the
way with him a certain scribe to
whom he was known aforetime.
3. And the scribe spoke unto
the prophet saying: Hail! Ter.
accha boam, the prophet. Whittier
goest thou 1t delighteth my soul
that thou journeyest in the way
with me.
4. Whereupon the prophet an
swered and said | come from the
tents of Kedar and journey unto
Il servant of BENJAMIN the Till
mantle. even dispenser Of strong
drinks.
5. And the scribe saith unto
him whittier thou goest will go,
for 1T hath been yet many days
since mine ewes hath beheld thee
and l do treasure in my heart the
words of former ruler of our
people which he spake unto a
ruler of the people which abideth
to the north of Tillmania.
6. Then was the heart of the
prophet glad within him and he
answered and said thou speakest
the words of wisdom, hasten thy
footsteps, my feet shall not lag in
the way, for hath not BENJAMIN
inscribed upon the bottles of
strong drink the words in the
Latin tongue, "Anomis opibus
que parati," which being inter
preted means Always ready to
drink"
7. Having come unto a vender
of strong drink they did pay unto
his bosom a sheke! of silver for a
bottle bearing the three mystic
signs of Benja min the Tillmanite.
S. Now when they had retired
unto a back lot where a newer of
wood did labor they did imbibe
Of the strong drink, whereupon
their souls were disquieted with
in them and they did excIaim of
one accord: Surely the spirit of
Benjamin hath entered into the
strong waters for though it bear
eth the symbol of refreshing drink
it hath the taste of the llgntnings
of the land called Jersey.
9. And it came to pass that
many of the servants of Benja.
min who did dispense strong
drink unto the people waxed ex
ceedlng evil, taking unto them
selves many pieces Of silver and
gold and would then cry aloud
that robbers had entered into
their places Of business, carrying
away strong drink of great value,
but no man even unto this day
has ever yet beheld the face of
such a robber.
10. Moreover, it came to pass
that man of the TIllmanItes.
one Douthit, did become high
priest unto the god of Benjamin
called "Booze' and chief among
the dispensers of bug juice"
II. Having searched diligently
he cha anced upon man, Of the
country which lyeth over against

named QUITS, mighty person and
strong of voice. Having fallen
npon his neck he exclaimed, Hal.
