Railroad Extensions.

1t seems to be an assured fact,
that the Texas s Pacific, will ex-
tend the branch road from New
Roads to Red River Landing, and
that it will be open for traffic next
fall. Our branch of the Y. & M. V.
r. r. wilEbe extended to Natchez,
which will in the near future be ex
tended to Kansas. This will place
our town on the main line of traffic
with the great West, and will give
the parish a market for early fruits,
vegetables ETC., and open other
enterprises 10 our peoole, if they
will only grasp the opportunity.

Editor True Democrat,
] must ask your indulgence to
make plain my position on the ques-
ton of prohibition, not that my
position is of any consequence in
itself, but because l have been req,
resented as favorng the wet side Of
the question.
/ mustsay that | am prejudiced
against prohibition as means of
restraining the liquor traffic and
habit, because it is ineffective, be-
cause it does not prohibit, and not
because favor tie whiskey traffic.
\ very high license has always
appeared to me to I've the only prae
ticable means of restraining the
traffic not the moderate license
levied ~ the police jury, but three
times as high, and guarded by
heavy boatts not to sell to minors
nor inebriates.
1t has been argued that this mod,
of restraint il in favor of the "rich'
al against tue "poor", for it shuts
out the small dealer in favor Of Tho
rich man. This afguement pro-
ceeds from false pFemisei. Tht
wh' skey traffic is an unmitagate(
! evil, a curse to him who sells, ant
to him who buys, it is the pareE
of crime, want, disease, and povert!
and is a proper subject for prohibi
tive legislation by every force tia
government. representing law an'
order can bring against it, and TX

legal right to scatter death, crime

OF the Transvaal war Col. Baden Pow

consisting of part Of the First bat
talon OF the Lancashire Royal
north regiment, the First battalion
Munster fusileers and 1000 colonials,
with one battery of artillery-in all
probably 1000 men.
The siege began on October IS, 1899.
and was led by Gen. Cronje in person
until ha went TO Kimberley to oppose
Methuen. Baden-Powell was bonn
bnrded almost daily. He made occa-
kional sorties, but his force was too
small and his weapons too ineffective

ing force Col. Plumer, who was sta
toned at Fort Tuli. in Rhodesia.
raised a force Of 1000 irregulars to go
to the relief Of Mafeking. On January

town and there have been similar re-

Col. Baden-Powell, says the New
York Tribune, is n cavalry officer. who
joined the hussars when he wns 10.
and is now n lieutenant colonel in
regiment Of ths Dragon guards. His
life has been spent in the army and in
special service and travel, and he is an

the steaithy approach OF the foe, and
whose keen Intelligence and inventive
skill have devised n great variety of
resources for thwnrting the devices of
Cronje and his Inter opponents.
Like Cecil Rhodes. Col. Baden Powell
was born in n rectory. He 10 the son
of the late Prof. l,aden-P Powell. of Ok
fords aud LanYton manor, and was
born on February 20. 1887. Educated
at Charterbouse. he joined the Thir-
teenth hussars in 1876. and. as adju-
tant. served with his regiment in In
dia and Afghanistan and in South AZ
rica. Early In his military career he
became familiar with the parts OF the
African continent with which his
name will hereafter be associated. In
1887 he was again at Cape Town as
assistant military secretary TO Gen.
Sir Henry Smyth. and during his two
years stay there he served in the Zu-
zuland operations and was mentioned
in the dispatches. After serving three
yenrs at Malta, he again returned to
Africa. charged with the special serv-
ice of raising and commanding the
native levies in the Ashantee opera
tions
For his brilliant work in this cam
paign he received the brevet rank of
lieutenant colonel After the Jane
son raid. when the Matabeles rose a
second time, he was chosen as chief
~ ~
rington. Promotion as bretet colonel
followed this campaign, and he was
placed in command of the Fifth
Dragons. At the beginning Of the
Transvaal war he was selected to pro-
coed to South Africa to raise mill
tary force on the spot and to drill it
into efficiency. Thnt he succeeded in
doing so is attested by his long and
heroic resistance against q superior
force.
