Editor Collar Chronicle:
Having had occasion to travel
the road leading from Saddle bayou
to Montgomery, and crossing the
bridge on Iatt bayou which had
recently been repaired, my atten-
ton having been called to the mat
ter Of the way that the work on this
bridge was contracted for and the
price to be paid for the work, /
took occasion to examine the same.
I was told the price to be paid was
SITS. l was also told that the
work was done by private contract.
l found about 1876 feet of new
lumber in the bridge. Heart lum-
ber at that time was being sold by
Mr.. E. A. Wall at SO per thousand
about 4 miles from the bridge 1
estimated the lumber cost &28 Is,
hauling SO, nails 81, 2 men 5 days
IS each $50, making all told $50 Is.
The question the people want to
ask Is who pays that $84 Is that
someone gets without earning it.
I think the proper thing for the
police jury TO do would be to have
a committee to inspect that work
before allowing the claim. The
bridge ] think is in ward six.
Yours truly, A KICKER.

Mr.. o. @. Neal, of Black Greek,
was a caller at the Chronicle Office
last Tuesday. He was accompanied
by his little son Quincy, a manly
little fellow who took great inter-
est in the workings of printing
office, and it was a pleasure to our
foreman to explain to him how the
type was set and to show him the
different processes through which
the paper goes before being COM
pleted. He seemed to fully under
stand and appreciate the explana-
tons offered, and we doubt not can
tell some of his playmates how
newspapers are made.

To Cotton Farmers.

Special Agent L. Perrin, OF the
u. S. Dept. of Agriculture, called
ON the Chronicle editor on the LIST,
and has given us for publication
the following, which is for the BEN
eft of all. 1t is the only way, not
only to keep cotton seeds from de-
generating, but also to improve it
every year:
From the best field of cotton, Sc
lert the best portion. taking bolls
only from the most vigorous and
productive plants, those showing
short joints and fruit near the bot
tom. The entire plant should be
a good producer. The top bolls
and the hollis on the end of the
limbs should not 60 in the lot fol
seed, as they tend to make the cot
ton later.
Consequently, cotton for seed
should be picked by special field
hands, in advance of the regular
pickers, and ought to be stored by
itself in dry place. In some sea-
sons, sun drying is necessary be-
fore storing or ginning.
Special care must be taken a
the GIN that the stand and floor ART
free from cotton or seeds before
ginning. 1t is'better to feed thu
cotton to the stand direct from thu
wagon, and collect the seed direc
from the stand than through pipes
The seed must be stored in DIR.
place.
By careful selection of seed, cot
ton can be improved to great ex
tent, and if to this we add bette
care of the soil, and better cultiva
tion, we can grow cotton to advan
tage in spite of the weevil. W.
are in time this season, let us TAX
all necessary precautions.

The Biggest Newspaper.

The Chronicle is printing this
week the biggest newspaper with
out any exception that has ever
been printed in Grant parish, an
SPACE 7-column newspaper, six
pages printed at home. We do
this in order to accommodate the
Constitutional Amendments and a
large amount of other advertising
that has come to hand.
Also, on account of the great in
terest in the homecoming speech
Of w. j. Bryan, in New York City
on the Both of August, we devote
our entire first page to its repro
duction. The speech is regarded
as the clear-cut campaign call OF
the Democratic party, and while
there may be discussion as to the
advisability of accepting. some OF
Mr.. organs views as planks in the
platform, his views are neverthe-
less interesting and instructive,
and are bound to exert a powerful
influence in the party councils.
In fact, the great commoner is
plainly a world-power, If such a
term may be applied to man.
Mr.. organs utterances in this great
speech is perhaps given greater
publicity in all the newspapers Of
the world than any living man
could hope to attain, and for this
reason every man should inform
himself about his views. We hope
all of our subscribers will read Mr.
Bryan's great speech Oh the Chron.
icle's first page.

Excursion to Coifax.

Attention is directed to the adj
vertisement of Gentry Bros Shows
which appears in this issue. This
wonderful exhibition will exhibit
in Colfax for two performances at
ternoon and night. In these days
of "fakes," grating shows and ex-
agerated circus bills it is refresh
inc to have a tented exhibition
such as the Gentry Shows pay Us
a visit. During a career embrac-
over twenty years this show with
its wonderful trained animals. clev-
err human performers, and educated
ponies, dogs, monkeys, elephants,
csmels. sheep, hogs and girafes,
has been in existence, and during
that time millions of people have
reveled in the beauties of this, the
greatest show of its kind in the
world. Such shows as the Gentry
Bros. offer should be literally pat
ronized, so be on the "lot" by ter
O'Clock Thursday, Sept. 20, in time
for the parade, which, by the way
is the prettiest thing on wheels
and help make circus day the gals
occasion which this particular cir
Gus deserves. One ticket will ad,
nit you to everything. Az stated
above there is no grating and nj
side shows.

Let the Law Be Enforced.


It is not 80 much.the "inadequa-
cy" of our laws, as it is the made
quacy of the enforcement of the
laws that we have, that causes 30
much complaint about their laxity.
We are led 10 this reflection by the
remarks of our neighbor confre-
re of the Democrat, that the "pro-
visions" of our laws are ''inade-
quate." Let the laws that we al
ready have be put into effect, and
there will be no room for COM
plant on this score.
At this very moment there are
a half dozen able-bodied men ly-
ing idle in the Colfax jail, whose
expenses for keeping during their
terms of Imprisonment will prob
ably cost the parish $1,000 or more.
We understand these men, or most
of them, were sentenced to Jail,
subject to be hired out or put on
the public work. The question is,
whose duty is it to see that this
sentence is properly enforced?
Plainly it is not the duty of the
sheriff, the clerk, or anybody else,
to do this, unless duly authorized,
directed and empowered by the
police jury exactly what to do and
where to do it. In other words,
it is the duty of the police jury to
see that these convicts are made
to serve the public during their
terms of imprisonment, instead Of
being an outright burden to the
people, by eating their weight in
the taxpayers money.
The law is plain and specific
and we hope our police jury will
not fail at their October meeting
to see that its provisions are car.
7ied out OF course, the subject has
to be given careful consideration
and adequate provision must bt
made to pay some one to superin
tend this work; also, the locality
and kind Of employment may have
to be considered; but that it car
and should be done, there is NJ
question at all.
As matter of suggestion, VI
will state that a dozen men coult
Be worked 10 advantage for severa
months on the public road leading
from Colfax to the hills. What !.
the matter with putting a numbe
OF men to work getting out grave
and building a lasting turnpike OF
this road?.

Goodbye to Negro Soldiers.

The Brownsville, Texas, affair
has enforced the edict that the ne
gro soldiers must 60. There is no
room in America for the negro as
a soldier. This is a white mans
country, and the installing OF ne
eroes as policemen or soldiers has
come to be crime. Let all who
occupy these positions be mustered
ont as soon as possible, and let no
more be mustered in. Common
sense, decenoy, Justice and right
all demand this. We have no In
dian, Chinese or Japanese soldiers
neither should we have negroes as
soldiers and guardians OF the
peace.

CARS RUNNING ON
HAYES STREET

Operation of cars was begun on
Hayes street last night by the United
Railroads, making that thoroughfare
a part of the Masonic avenue and At
fliated Colleges system. Previous to
last night the cars were run on the
inward trip by way of Masonic avenue.
Page, Devisadero, Turk and Market
streets to the ferries. The return trip
was by way of Market, Eddy, Devils
adero and Oak streets and Masonic
avenue to the Affiliated Colleges.
AS a result of a conference between
the officials of the company the cars
are now operated down Page to Fill
more instead of turning north on De-
visadero. The inward bound cars then
follow Fillmore to Hayes. which they
traverse to Market, thence to the ferries.
Returning the cars go by way of Mar
ket, Hayes, Fillmore and out Oak to
Masonic avenue. A previous effort to
run the cars by way of Hayes street
was a failure owing to the light weight
of the rails, but these have been re-
placed between Market and Fillmore
streets.

.GR|FF|THs FREED
FROM PRISON
All but Conscience of the
Millionaire Is Released
From Penitentiary Bars
FORTUNE INCREASES

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Dec. a
Griffith J. Grifiths stepped out of the
States Prison at 5:45 o'clock this
morning a free man after having
served twenty months for assault to
murder his wife. The crime was COM
mitted at Santa Monica on September
8, 1908.
Griffiths leaves the prison with in
creased wealth. The few months that
he has served in stripes has simply
been a temporary privation that has
for its reward a fortune that has be-
come greater because of his incarcera-
ton. Griffiths is a living example of
the man who flirts sufficiently with
justice and receives-no, not the wages
of sin.
Mrs. Jane G. Davis, the ex-convict's
sister, cared for Griff1ths estate. It
has fattened as fortunes always fat
ten when men do not use them in riot
Gus living. Grifhths returns to free
dom, probably cursed by his fellow
men, but blessed by the almighty
dollar.
Grifflths controls the Buswalter Land
and Water Company; he owns the Los
Feliz ranch of 1000 acres; he has also
valuable improved and unimproved
property in Los Angeles which has al
most doubled since he came to San
Quentin.
