Owners VIII Resume Control.

Lake Charles--J. B. Watkins ig au-
thority for the statement that within a
very short time, in all probability by
the first of next year, the Kansas City,
Watkins and Gulf Railway, which has
been in the bands of q receiver for
:ome years, will return to the hands
of its original owners. Mr.. Watkins
turthor states that it is the intention
Of the owners, upon getting control
Of the road again, to make some exc
tensions. This statement, in connec-
tion with the surveying trip Of Prof.
Philbrick, of the Watkins Comphny,
from Bonair to Lake Arthur, is inter
ted here to indicate that there is an
intention to take @ branch OF the road
into the Lake Arthur country. In al
probability the Natchez extension will
also now be looked after. Either Of
these extensions would prove of vast
benefit to the road, and of equal ben
eft to Lake Charles and this section
Of the State, The City Coun-
,il has decided on an ordnance fixing
the minimum liquor license at $500.
This is $50 more than last year.
The police jury has found that $780,,
300 will be required for the expenses
Of the parish of Calcasieu next year,
and that there is only 800, 900 in sight
It has been agreed by the police jury
that they will invite the new assessor,
who is to be appointed this month,
and other prominent citiEenG who may
be interested TO meet with them early
in January and assist them in grading
the lands of the parish for systematic
raise in assessment.

Cotton and Rates Accepted.

Baton Rouge-Since %. IA, 1889.
there has been pending a suit against
the Railroad Commission of Louisiana
by the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
Railroad, growing out of the commits
sion's order reducing the rate on cot
ton seed from Norwood, Wilson and
Clinton to New Orleans. A
conference was held at Attorney Gen
eral Guien's Office between Commits
sioners De FueAtes and Sims OF the
Railroad Commission and Hunter Q.
Leake, general agent, and W. Rhett,
general freight agent of the Illinois
Central and Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley railroads. The Attorney Gen
eral was also present. The litigation
was finally compromised by the rail
road company accepting the commits
sion's rate on the cotton seed and
slight reduction on cotton. The agree.
ment will be formally ratified on Mon
day next, when the commission meets
in Baton Rouge. Mr.. Leaka will then
have the suit discharged.

A careful survey by experts from the
Department Of Agriculture of the bur-
rieane-swept section Of Eastern Texas
shows that the farmers lost 100000
bushels Of corn, 100000 bushels Of rice,
$4,000 bales Of cotton, 100000 pounds
Of pecans, 5000 trees, and farm animals
worth $45O,OO0-in all an irreparable
property loss representing value of
$3,4OO,OOO. The damage thus sustained
will be lightened by no percentage Of
insurance and no dole of charity. In
Texas, as elsewhere, the tiller Of the
soil takes the buffets or favors of for
tune as they come, and trusts to being
nant nature for future redress and
compensation.

Small Sized Wreck.

Forest Hill--We had small sized

by the south-bound passenger train
running over COW just above town.
The locomotive ran some thirty yards
on the crossties, making "kindling"
wood out of them. The engine, how
ever, was soon righted and the pas
Seuger arrived at Forest Hill only
about thirty minutes late. No one
injured. The Keith Brothers

The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1900-12-15

The different countries Of Europe
hold different ideas as to the age when
responsibility begins and person can
be regarded as knowing the meaning
of his actions. In England the law
looks upon everyone over the age of
seven as a responsible being, and
every, child beyond that age can be
prosecuted as a criminal. The same
age Is accepted in Russia and Portugal.
In France and Belgium the age is
eight; in Italy and Spain it is nine;
Norway, Greece, Austria, Denmark
and Holland decline to prosecute
child under ten, and this is the rule in
some Of the Swiss cantons.

Diamond-The lower coast has made

of cane and large rice crop, and get
better prices for it this year than for
