Cotton Worms.

From the reports which we have
gathered this week it appears that
the cotton worms have made theil
appearance throughout tins sec
ton quite generally. 1t was
hoped that as SO much of the
growing season had passed before
they had appeared that they were
getting in too late to do any con.
siderable damage, but the farmers
have found it necessary to adopt
energetic measures to check their
ravages. Paris green has been
literally used.

the pest. All last week the fight
was going on.

The School Question.

AS it appears, the question OF
more taxes for more school days,
is to come before parents; it might
not come amiss for them 70 have a
few words on the subject; especial
ly, the subject of school books.
No doubt the parents would be
willing to contribute more to the
school fund if they were not com
PEELED to spend from five to ten
dollars every year for books.
There would be nothing to com
plain of if the children could study
them all, but when they have
books they have not studied half
through, to be put in others, Is
enough to make a saint get vexed,
then too, the same thing is
done every year. OF course, we
know the teachers are not to
blame but there is certainly some
one or more than one to blame,
and it seems as though the school
board might look into the matter
and put stop to it, or get others
to have it done. There are no
doubt many boys and girls that
can not continue their schooling
in the higher branches, because
they require so many expensive
books, more than they can study.
Then there is the cost of the
tablets and pencils for the little
ones. To be sure they are great
improvement over the noisy states,
but the way some children waste
them. makes them quite expen
sive. Some will have a nice ink
tablet, commence to write or put
down figures, make mistake,
tare off the page crumple it up
and throw it away, start again do
the same thing and destroy sever
al pages in the same way. Others
will draw all through the tablet,
instead of using only the top pag-
es. and have no clean pages for
their work. 1t does not seem like
much wasted but when there are
three or four children in a family,
and each child gets tablet every
week, it makes way with plenty OF
nlckels, besides being good way
for them to learn to be extrava.
giant, if the fault is not corrected.
Another disadvantage, in getting
new books IS that the younger
children can not use the one their
brother or sister had. AS the
public schools are supposed to be
for all, it seems the wishes of the
majority ought to be respected,
and not put them to unnecessary
expense. If the truth Of this is
doubted, let petition be put out,
to see how many will sign it, "for
less changing of school books"

NEW RAILROAD.
Work to Begin on Line BE.
tween Monroe and Liberia La.

j. B. Stoley, secretary and
treasurer of the Louisiana Central
Railroad Company and OF the
Louisiana Construction Company,
to whom the contract has been
awarded for the building of the
road, arrived here yesterday with
party of stockholders IN the
companies, and men who will bend
their energies toward the develop
ment of alluvial lands in AvOy
Giles parish. The road will ex-
tend from Monroe to Liberia, a
distance of 200 miles. and will
open itch section Of the State
DEVOTED to the culture of rice and
cotton, and containing large for
ests. The company owns 10000
acres of alluvial lands, and it's
work has been greatly facilitated
by the action of the Legislature
at it's last Levee Board to con
struct levees along the Red river
in that parish.
Work was begun four months
ago on the constructing of the
road
The party which accompanies
Mr.. Stoley consists of ten Ger
mans, all practical farmers, and
whose combined wealth exceeds
s., 600, 900. They will enter into
the development of the alluvlal
lands and cultivate rice and cot
ton. They are stopping at the
Grunewald Hotel and will leave
to day to visit the property.
The above was clipped from the
Times-Democrat of Tuesday. Sept.
9th. "Liberia' must be an error.
In all probability Iberia was in
tended.
This road, leaving Monroe on a
directly southern course, would
pass through the parishes OF
Ouachita, Caldwell, Catalonia,
Avoyelles, st. Landry, Lafayette
and Vermiliol,. On such a line it
would strike the following towns:
Columbia, Marksville, Washing.
ton, Opelousas, just a little west
of Lafayette, Erath, and would
terminate at Southwest Pass on
the Gulf coast. We have the in.
formation, however, that the in
tention is to swing the line east
ward after passing Marksville,
crossing the Texas and Pacific, at
Melville, thence on a direct line
through st. Martinvllle to New
Iberia.

The Eleanor Iron & steel Co. I'm
Hot Water.

The hearing of the petition of the
Eleanor Iron a. Steel Co. for stay of the
writ issued to Sheriff Gibson for sale OF
their property at East Butler was com
menced before Judge Galbrenth, Mon
day afternoon. The writ was issued on
a Judgment signed by President John
Robensteen of the Eleanor Co. last fall.
The history of the transactions between
the Eleanor Co. and the Butler Land q
Improvement Co, as brought out by
the hearing is about as follows:
The Butler Go. was to give the Flea
nor Co. $50, 900. in the shape of a twenty
acre site at 81 600 an acre and subscrip-
tions for $50, 900 worth of stock in COL
sideration for the building aud operat-
ing of 100000 open hearth furnace and
sheet, bar and billet mill at East But
Ter. An article for sale of the 20 acres
ION which the Butler Co. has entered
suit for ejectment) was drawn up and
at various times and on various excus-
es, Robensteen and Porter. the secre-
tary of the Eleanor Co.. secured s29.
500 in cash from the Butler Co., which
is composed of D. H. Sutton, F. II. Muir
ply. VIM. Campbell, John s Campbell,
J. F. Anderson, W. D. Brandon and j.
Fl. Troutman.
The last two payments were given on
notes signed by Robensteen and Porter,
with the understanding, they claim,
that the Butler Co. was TO pay them.
These payments were made on the rep
resentations of Robensteen that he had
paid $26, 900 to the Reese Hammond
Fire brick Co. for brick and fire clay.
President Hammond, of the brick com
pany, said on the stand that Roben
steen had paid but small amount on
the purchase, and still owed them 800.
The company's salesman, Mr.. Ramsey,
said that Robensteen had the brick
shipped to Butler billed at $40 per
thousand above the market price, which
on paper made it appear to the Butler
Co. that he had purchased nearly twice
as much as he really had. Henry
Troutman stated on the witness stand
that he wanted to have Robensteen ar
rested last December, and if he had had
his way, not one dollar would ever have
been paid to the Eleanor people.

January Operations-Field operations
during the first month of the Eew year
were characterized by general decline
in nearly every section of the produc-
ing regions The unprecedented cold
weather that prevailed during January
had a decided effect in checking the
drilling Of new wells and the pumping
of old ones.
The southwest districts OF PenDsyi-
yania, which include that portion of
the state between Butler and Arm
strong counties and the West Virginia
line, show general falling off in all
lines of field activity, but these sections
continue to hold out inviting prospects
and operators are occasionally rewarded
with very fair producers. The January
record for these sections was 49 wells
completed. with 407 barrels new pro-
duction. or the new wells, l3 were

were productive of OIL This was an
