OF all the fools in natures
plan, the biggest fool of all is
man. A helpless, driveling Ounce
at birth, he never changes while
on earth. He may read books
and go to school, but still he's
nothing but fool. He rushes
recklessly through life. aud fills
the earth with human strife. He
works and saves and boards his
wealth, he tolls and slaves and
wrecks his health, and then, dis
eased and racked with pain, finds
his life was lived in vain. At
last there comes the final day
and mourning friends put him
away, and then his heirs who are
bereft, fight over what the fool
has left"
News from Mackay, May 10th,
brings the information that N.
E. Jenkins. an employee of the
White Knob company, was shot
on the morning of the 10th by
Harry Groves, the proprietor of
the North Mackay road house, a
notorious place, about a mile from
Mackay. The bullet entered the
right arm below the elbow,
breaking the bone and entering
his hip. The cause of the shoot
ing was the elimination Of a big
spree, in which several others
were taking part. Much bad
blood has existed between Groves
and different ones who were
present. and trouble has been
feared for some time. 1t is said
Jenkins had fired couple shots
through the ceiling while eating
supper, and Groves had warned
him that this kind of work would
not be permitted, as the upstairs
was occupied. Words followed
and the shot was fired. Jenkins
was brought to Mackay and is
resting quietly. If blood poison
ing or any other complications
do not appear, there is every
reason to expect that he will re-
cover. Groves was arrested.

RAILROADS..

At the meeting called for Thursday
night to consider propositions for the
encouragement of competing railroad
lines entering this town. the matter
was fully and freely discussed by
those present the result of the meeting
being the formation of local charter
ed company which shall receive all
the privileges, franchises taxes or any
form of inducement the same to be
held III trust for the people OF the
town and best advantage in neg0tiat-
ing with any bonaiide organization
having the ability and Willingness to
enter this town. This places the en-
tire subject in q tangible shape and
gives us permanent organization
composed of our best business men
who will safeguard the rights Of the
community and obtain the best terms
from any railroad company presenting
itself for entry TO our town. The
charter is being drawn up by one of
our Notarys and will be signed to-day,
when we shall be in shape for any
thing that comes along in matter of
railroads and if the officers Of the
local organization will endeavor TO
press matters and put themselves in
contact with railroad people there
should be something doing very soon.

THREE NE0RES BURNED TO DEATH
IN A CABIN.

Jeanerette, Oct. 20-In the
negro quarters situated about SOC
yards south Of the Southern Pacific
depot, at 2 o'clock this morning a
fire was discovered in building
occupied jointly by two negro wo-
men and owned by Joseph Mcguire.
The cabin was soon entirely con-
sumed, and the bodies of three of
of its occupants, Liza Smith, her
child and Henry Turner, negro
man from New Iberia, were found
burned to a crisp. There is some
mystery about the affair, as the
other woman who lived ia the house.
Hattie Turner, saved all her fnr-
niture and escaped without injury.
She made several statements re-
garding her escape and the origin of
the fire which were contradictory.
She was arrested and taken TO the
parish Jail by Sheriff Henderson
this afternoon, pending investiga-
ton. DR.. George p. MinvieIle. the
coroner, would give no statement
for publication.

EDUCATIONAL.

We are in receipt of letter from
Baton Rouge indited by the Governor
expressing sorrow that the Enterprise
in it's last issue disparaged the efforts
of the Educational Department of the
State. We meant no reflections on
any officer Of the State administration
we simply published the figures Of the
State Superintendent of Education,
apportioning the last quarters school
fund, and a. the amount per capita
was so infinitesimal we naturally
spoke Of the insufiiciency Of the school
revenues, and being jealous in the
cause of Education used language
that was justifiable. II there are other
States which are still lower in the
scale Of lliteracy than ours. so much
the worse for them that does not in
the least tend to obliterate the ignor-
ance Of Louisiana, OF to excuse it. We
yield to no mAn in our desire to wipe

out the illteracy of the State and it
was for the purpose of attracting at
tention to this great incubus that our
short ed itoral was written. and not to
discredit or disparage any one. We
still think the States provision for
schools is very inadequate, and were
few hundred offices abolished and
the fat salaries thereof turned into the
school fund we should soon make a
better showing, especially under the
administration of State Superintend
ent. who is not amenable to any poll
tical influence for his continuance in
office-in other words, let the office of
Superintendent of Education be non
partizan, non political, non sectarian
and we shall soon see change for the

that the serious problem now facing
the people Of the South can be square.

FOUR STATES IMMIGRATION
LEAGUE.

The coming convention of the Fou1
States immigration League which will
take place in New Orleans Monday
aud Tuesday, November 9th and lOtI
is attracting very great degree of at
tention throughout the four states OF
Louisiana, Texas. Mississippi and Ala.
| bama
| The Importance of this coming
gathering has been generally appreci-
ated by the rail lines throughout the
four states which have instituted a
one fare round trip rate plus twenty
five cents and these rates will be on
sale November Sth and 9th good to re-
turn on all trains out of New Orleans
leaving November 18th.
President A. f. Thomasson of the
Four States League, il, connection
with the Vice Presidents for the diff
ferent states and the other officials of
the organization are actively at work
PREF pairing the programs which will
govern the affairs of the convention.
The various rail lines and state gov
erments will be represented by COM
misioners of land and immigration,
and a series of short pithy addresses
containing valuable information will
be delivered by representative dele
gates 70 the convention.
The full programme with assign
ment of papers will not be made pub
lie until complete, but very import
ant feature of the convention will be
general symposium upon the subject
of manufacturing immigration, and
community development in a series
of five minutes talk by delegates and
invited guests
The Importance of the Four States
Immigration League convention can
not be overstimated. Seventy Six of the
commercial organizations of as many
town and cities in the territory men,
toned are bound together in a COM
mon purpose in the League and the
strength of this Association is con-
stantly being augmented by the organ
ization of business organizations in
towns not now represented.
1t is estimated that as q result of the
very large sums of money
will be spent by the various leagues,
unions and boards of trade forming
the -Four States League in advertising
and distributing information about
their individual communities.
The movement is one that has for
its purpose the material advancement
Of this entire section of the south |
md as it is at present the most COM
plete and unique organization of COM
nercial bodies in the United States,
L has attracted and is attracting q |
'ast amount of attention throughout
he entire country, so much so that
quite recently there has been created
! business association taking in the
tates Of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan patterned upon the same
Ian as that adopted in the organize
ion of the Four States immigration
league
The convention will take place in
