The South is growing in all Of

sugar industry. The people Of
Louisiana have invested millions
of dollars to make it q possibility,
and it would be an outrage to
strike at its very foundation. The
interest of the laborer is involved
and could it be destroyed without

fdence that "a body of industrious

pie of the South"
Senator Csfery points out that
the settlement will not only bene-
tit the State by increasing the pro.

but that the immigrants will dc

this point, as there has already
bsen a large white immigration to
Southern and Southwestern Lou

subject. and especially those who
have fairly tried centralized rural
schools are enthusiastic supporters
of the innovation. Under the
time honored system of small, iso-
lated ueighborhood schools, with
few pupils and fewer facilities,
where mary children in bad wea-
thsr. must wade through mud an
kle deep or remain at home, and
the exposure to rain and cold,
costing doctors bills if nothing
worse, in addition to loss of time,
is 10 the end far more expensive
than the centralized schools re-
Gently adopted in several OF the
states. Centralized schools re-
quire transportation of pupils.
Generally they are taken by con-
tract to and from school in cover
ed hacks. properly provided With
robes aud rugs for cold weather,
and the children are put out at tine
school house at a specified time
and delivered at their homes with
promptness. Centralized schools
are q great improvement over the
old and prevailing method, but
bear direct relation to the pub
lie roads. There are many Sec
tiOns of country where for long
periods during the school term,
the transportation with regularity
would bs impossible on account
of the condition Of the roads.
Goods roads are necessary to good
schools under any system, but e.
pecially where children must be
transported several miles, and

There can be consolidated graded
rural schools without good roads
whereby these schools may be
reached. There is also close re.

The case of Sadie Morgan vs.James

S12 which he refuses to pay, was dis
missed this morning by Squire Stan

The loan she claims was made nearly

of the tools used by the men working
on the new postoffice building. The
money was given him on representa-
lions in regard to the size Of his sal
airy and certain patent which he
claimed he had pending. Carey de-
MES absolutely that he ever received
anything from Miss Morgan, and as
she could not prove that he had, the
Squire could do nothing but dismiss
the case for lack of evidence.
