Reply to Newell.
Adm Ida 0, Oct. 16. |

Adm Idal o, Oct. 16, 1908
Editor Bulletin: La answer to W.
W. Newell in which he Gays that it
would be his last answer and be
content with his neighbors' opinion,
as expressed at the election last
fall, wherein Newell got 90 votes
for constable and Goble got 35, the
facts are that Newell was the only
candidate on the Democratic ticket;
and further, records show James
Buchanan got 3 votes, but neither
of the two last mentioned were
candidates. He further states that
it is eating the angel Now, if the an
gel had no more crumbs, than that
on him to eat he would be rid of the
pest in one application, He further
SAYS he will retract one word. Kind
readers, when the facts are known
and the records examined, he will
have to retract a good many words.
Now in reply to our school mat
ters. This is our third year of
school in this district and by the
end the present term we will have
expended something like $1,000 of
school money, and when we call for
reports showing how and in what
manner our school money has been
used, the board puts up some excuse
that they can't We have repeated
ly called for statements and never
got any statement from any OF the
clerks of the school board. At our
last annual election we were fa
vored with the stubs of one order
| for warrant book that checked up
$635.14 of school money that had
been paid out ard that is as near a
statement as we have ever had.
Now the readers known the excess
i've use of some of our school money
and when they come to balance
accounts with our school funds they
will fine other and further misap-
preparations of school funds. But
W. w. Newell makes some modifi-
cations in my pet name and calls
me the destroying angel for killing
fighting and ferocious bull. But
we will wait for the facts to be
produced in the case. Anyway bis
statement of the affair is pure
fabrication as to the cause of the
killing, and if the citizens of Elmore
County wish to know why | shot
that bull, let them ask Peter Brown
In conclusion, | will say | own a
little home on Smith Prairie ano
the bulls and bears and bad people
are trying to run it for me, but
object and will run my own hom'
If 1t takes hard-earned battles to d.
it.
I'car Editor, my obining is It i
time to call halt on Smiths Prairi,
and teach them to have better feel
ings and better actions toward thei
, neighbors.

ATLANTA
Atlanta, Oct. %

Atlanta, Ocb- 20
Capital pouring into the Black
Warrior Atlantis is full of experts
and capitalists en- route to the new
gold fields The streets of the old
camp present very lively aspect
at present. There is a continual
stream of freight teams coming in
and numerous pack trains are con-
stantly leaving for the new Klon-
dixie.
The new town of Walkerville is
bee hive of industry. Tents and
cabins now cover country that six
weeks ago was practically unex-
plored. Each foot of depth at
tained shows additional riches, and
the number of rich veins discov-
cred is precedent in the history
of mining.
Mr. Sweeney, of Spokane, now
has experts in the field, and it is
probable he will soon purchase the
Reco group, which shows rs foot
ledge of good milling rock, eight
feet of which is very rich, samples
running as high as 5000 per ton.
Each day some lucky prospector
comes in with specimens that, for
size and value, beat anything yet
discovered in Idaho. Mrs Ed
ridge Richardson has a ten-inch
streak in ten.foot ledge that cam
dies $1,000 dollars per ton. They
say they can pound out enough
gold with hand mortar in one
month to buy and erect ten stamp
mill.
The man that rode the goat has
been found at last-he is living
reality. John Benton, while pros
pecting on the headwaters of Lag
get creek, saw goat peacefully
sleeping under a point Of rocks
He determined to capture Billy
alive, and Immediately started a
flank movement, which placed him
on the point of rocks Immediately
above his victim. There was 20
feet of sheer precipice between, and
to make another step would proba
bly, disturb the sleeper, so he con
cludes to jump on his back, and he
succeeds, fastening his fingers in
Billy's long hair. The way they
went down that mountain, says
Benton, twas something fierce"
For a long time the battle was
doubtful, but the goat finally sur
renders and seems to take kindly to
domestic life.
Mr.. Miller, from Buffalo, known
in this country as "Buffalo Miller

Miller will start the Tahoma mine,
of which he is owner.
A grand ball was given Friday
evening by the Ladies' Benefit AS
sociation. The main feature of the
event was the manner III which the
lunch was procured. You purchase
lady and lunch at the rate of 70
cents The proceeds are to be ap-
piled to a new church organ, which

for public education is reported, ow-
ing to the favorable action of many
Of the parishes in taking advantage
o: the Constitution of 1898, relative
tolocal taxation. In more than hall
of the parishes Of the State special
taxes have been voted ranging from
2to4 mills, for the support Of schools
in particular districts.
High schools were authorized and
approved by the State board at Nor
wood and Slaughter, in East Felici-
ana, and at MarksviIle, Winfield
and Colfax. The State Superintend-
ent of Education was authorized to
prepare diplomas for high school
graduates in the State. Theenumera-
ton of the children in Grant parish
was approved, with the exception OF
Pollock district in ward two, and the
enumeration of ward six, from which
protests were fled, and the assessor
is given the opportunity to correct
same and send in his final report by
October LIST. The presence OF Supt.
Williams from Grant was quite i'm
portant to this parish, and his CON-
mendable zeal and interest in behalf
of our schools resulted in great bene-
fit to them.

The other day q man went into a
Cincinnati bank and asked for q great
many thousand dollars. He had se.
ccrities. No bank would haveloaned
money without them; some banks
would not have loaned the sum desir.
ed with them. He had also good
name in the business world. He was
a truth speaker. He always kept his
obligations. Men knew that what he
promised he would do, and the good
name was as valuable at the bank al
as the stocks and bonds be offered
There Yves no hesitation about ad'
vancing the money.
You can not put q cash value on 9
good reputation. It is something
that can only be gained by years Of
common, rugged, aggressive honesty
The men with good names scorn small
tricks and petty meannesses. No
matter whether they are selling cot.
tons or steel bridges, they assert
''ours is q gentleman's trade" ani
live it.
Any business that deserves to sue
coed can be conducted on the lines
Of rigid honesty. The men who mil
conscience with trade dignity com
merce, and add to their capital thu
esteem and confidence of their fellow
men-two things that adversely can
not sweep away; that are more valu
able than vault full of dollars.-Cin

Our Public school system.

The public school system for the
State of Louisiana is becoming a
very effective means of educating the
people out of illiteracy, and withal is
a commendable piece of the States
machinery. 1t compares favorably
with the systems of other States, and
is decidedly superior to most of them.
1t is founded on correct principles,
and the constant changes and i'm
provements made in it renders it up
to date and highly effective toward
the desired end.
Parish Supt. j. A. Williams attend
ed a session of the State Board of Ed
ucationin Baton Rouge on last Tues
day, which was quite interesting and
showed that fine progress is being
made in educational matters. The
percentage of enrolment of white
children in the State, based on the
number Of white educables for the
year 1902 was 81 per cent, and the
percentage for colored was 33 per
cent. The increase and improvement
along oil lines was very marked and
most encouraging. Teachers are in
better supply and OF better grade,
and longer terms are taught and bet
ter attendance reported. Terms ol
six months and over were taught in
81 parishes, the terms ranging from
6 to 8 months. Grant parish ie re-
ported in the 6 months class. A
large increase in the amount of money

The late furry of prices in Wall

perceptible degree. In fact, it is held
to have strengthened Southern invest

New Orleans and the La. Ry and
Navigation Company.


We notice in the New Orleans pa
pers that the Louisiana Railway &
Navigation Company is asking that
city to grant it the necessary rights
of way and franchises to enable it to
enter and do business in that city.
1t would seem at this distance that
the grant Of such rights, properly
guarded, would be gladly made by
the ''future great" city. The above
named railroad was first organized
as local road the Shreveport and
Red River Valley Railway Company
to run from Shreveport to Alexan-
dria. But since the great movement
of all the great East and West sys-
TENS to get into New Orleans, it has
been seen that the old S. & r. R. V.
line can be turned to good account
to enable several great systems to
reach that city. Hence the recent re-
organization, enlargement, increase
Of capital and change of name to
Louisiana Railway & Navigation
Company"
1t is well known that this change
of name and large increase in capital
stock has great significance. 1t means
that this railway line will at once be
pushed into New Orleans; that as
soon as constructed into that city
the traffic of at least two other great
railway systems, embracing 10000
to Is, 900 miles of road, will be run
over that line into New Orleans; that
there is the best of reasons for believ-
ing that two or three other great
systems will also come into the same
arrangement and avail of the same
means to reach the great Gulf Port;
and, finally, that it is in contempla-
ton to double track the La. Railway
& Navigation Co.'S. road, for which
purpose right OF way has already
been secured from Angola to Baton
Rouge.
The line of this road is located
from Baton Rouge to New Orleans,
and track laying is in progress above
Baton Rouge. All the cities, towns
and country people along the line of
this popular and much needed rail-
road, and all ofNorth and Northwest
Louisiana, are vitality interested in
seeing this railroad, which gives them
the shortest and most direct commu-
nication with the capital Of the State
and with our great commercial sea-
port, secure entrance into the Cres-
cent City. They are watching the ac-
ton of the New Orleans city council
on the ordinance granting the Deces-
sary rights of way and franchises to
this Jour OWN railway with great
| cOuCeTu duO luUereSC.
The cities, towns and country along
the line from Shreveport to New Or
leans have well performed their part
toward getting this important rail-
wav constructed, and we all sincerely
trust our great city will be as gener-
ous, and will do her part without
stint or hesitation. 1t not only
means 10000 to 10000 more miles
of railways for New Orleans. but it
means a new steamship line to run
from Western Europe to that great
and growing city, in direct connec-
ton with these great railway systems.

We this week publish the Baton
Rouge Advocates scheme for an edu-

formulated by Bro. Sambola Jones
some time ago, and it is not out Of
place to suggest that it could BIZ
rung in as a campaign issue with a
little extra maneuvering.
