defiance of the law. 1t is to be regret
ted that a large number of persons
are disposed to hinder the investiga-
ton of such offenses, while some are
so lost to manhood and honor as to
perjur themselves in order to shield
the guilty.
"A great deal of "hoodlumism" pre-
walls in some places, and, scarcely a
religious or social assembly can be
held without good peaceable citizens
being offended and disturbed in some
way. We are glad to find your honor
disposed to deal severely with the
tough" and 'srowdy" element of our
parish, and hope the good round SEN
fences of fine and imprisonment OF
thecourt will have wholesome effect
in restraining the liquor traffic, the
carrying of concealed weapons, and
the rowdyism that is Of la e so preva-
lent in our parish, to our reproach
and shame.
Wehave examined the jail, and find
it well kept and us comsorta bic az
possible under the conditions. We
recommend that the police jury have
a sink put in the center of the four
lightest cages, SO as to enable the
jailor to have better means to keep
the jail in good sanitary condition.
This is very essential, and the cost
will be only q few dollars.
Our sheriff and clerk and their dep
uties are all showing an interest in
keeping the new court house clean
and in good condition, and we would
commend their efforts in this direc-
ton, and hope they will continue to
enforce order and cleanliness in this
way.
We have examined the books and
accounts of the treasurer, and fluid
them in good order. The school fund
is in healthy condition, with more
than SIS 900 cash on hand. while the
parish finances are about even-the
police jury having carefully studied
the public interest and arranged all
outstanding obligations in such a
way that there is every assurances
that the revenues of tile parish will
meet them, and still have sufficient
money to pay all current expenses.
We thank the court and its officers
for their prompt assistance and aid
in the Investigations we have made
and ask to be discharged.

The New Orleans Picayunc Of alate
date contains the following interest
ing interview with Capt. &C. Hender-
son, manager OF the Arkansas South
ern railroad:
c. C. Henderson, general manager
of the Arkansas Southern, a prosper
GUS new railroad now in operation
from Ell Dorado, Ark, to Widnfeld,
La, and projected to Sabine City,
was in New Orleans yesterday after
noon on his way home from the east,
leaving for Ruston. where the general
Offices of the company ale located,
last evening.
Mr.. Henderson said that the COM
pany has had 101 miles in operation
since June Is last, and was doing a
splendid business. Asurveying party
is now in the field locating further
extension OF thirty miles, from Winn-
field to Colfax, on the east bank OF
Red river. The line will be pushed to
Red river this year, and the chances
are that the stream will be bridged
at or near Colfax, and a junction ef-
fected with the Texas and Pacific.
As projected, the line win be pushed
on to Leesville, where a junction will
be formed with the Kansas City
Southern, and win then cross into
eastern Texas, via Beaumont, and on
to Sabine City.
The route mapped out viii develop
q splendid business. At Ell Dorado
the line connects with the Missouri
Pacific. 1t crosses the yicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific at Ruston,
where the general offices of the COM
pany arc located, and besides con-
Meeting with the Texas and Pacific
near Colfax and the Kansas City
Southern at Leesville, will connect
with the Southern Pacific at Beau
mont.
"As far as the line has been built, +"
said General Manager Henderson Inst
night, it has been due north and
south. This is q remarkable thing,
for the line has been in the same range
as far as completed. 1t will continue
due south as far as WINFIELD, and
will there turn to the southwest.
The road runs through a rich agri-
cultural and tinbered country.
About Winfield is the long leaf vel
low pine belt, the finest timbered
country to be found anywhere.
"The management is now figuring
on equipping it's engines to burn oil.
We will not wait until we get into
Beaumont to begin the use Of oil as a
fuel, but will do SO as soon as we get
to Colfax. 1t has not yet been def
nitely settled as to whether we will
build across Red river. 1t is practi-
cally certain that we will, but this is
q work which will take considerable
time, as structural steel is very diff
cult to get now. None of the mills
will contract for deliveries within
eight or ten months. /"
The officers of the Arkansas South
ern, which is owned almost exclusive
~ by Arkansas and Louisiana CAPT
tai. are J. w. Brown, president; c. E.
Neeler, vice-president; IT,. Gaughan
secretary; and W. X. Ramsey, treas
urer. When the line is completed ~
planned it will have in operation
225 miles.
