THE CAMP MEETING
A Large Crowd Was Present
Last Sunday.


The annual camp meeting held
at the celebrated Ebenezer Camp
Ground was commenced Sunday,
the 18th inst. The attendance
was very good, but last Sunday it
excelled any previous gathering
there.
The Louisiana Railway and
Navigation Company made the
low rate of one fare for the round
trip, which attracted quite large
crowd. When the train left
Winfield with four coaches they
were more than comfortably filled
and at each station or the road
there were large crowds waiting,
so that by the time we reached
Aloha the coaches were packed
until there was scarcely standing
room. The two rear coaches
were switched to the regular train
from Alexandria and there was a
rush for seats on that train when
it was found that they were as
closely packed as the Winfield
train. 1t taxed three buss and
hack lines to get the passengers
from kadcsh to the camp ground.
This is a great place for one to
go and meet friends they have
not seen for years. Those who
go there and tent are very hos
pitable. No one can 60 there
without many invitations to eat
with them, and they have every
thing good to eat. There is no
place in this country where one
can go and enjoy themsemselves
better. You can hear good SER
mons and splendid singing and
during the intermission enjoy the
social intercourse with friends of
bygone days.
The pleasure on last Sunday
was somewhat married by a heavy
downpour of rain just as the
I3 o'clock service began, which
lasted until about ) p. IN. Then
those who. had gone there to
spend the day commenced to
move toward the station to take
the train which passed Katlesh at
7:12. When the last buss arrived
it was observed that there were
more at the station to take the
train than got off in the morning,
and when the train hove in sight
there was a scramble for a place
even standing room-which was
at . premium when the train
pulled out.
The WINFIELD contingent
arrived ut 1885 very tired but all
admitted having spent a pleasant
day.

INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE
At Lafayette is Being Greatly
Improved.


With the special appropriation
of SO, 900 made at the recent
session of the General Assembly
for the purchase of twenty-five
acres of additional land for the
Southwestern Industrial Institute
the Board of Trustees of that In
stitution has consumated a pur-
chase which effec tually lays the
foundation for great State in
stitution of learning in Southwest
Louisiana. The original twenty
five acres which were donated by
MIR. Crow Girard aud his mother
six years ago as an inducement
to the State to select Lafayette
as the location of the school, but
not nearly enough to allow for
its growth, additional buildings,
etc., which would have soon de-
prived the young men of their
athletic field and would have
limited to a small area the space
for gardens, etc for the boarding
clubs. 1t is also necessary to
have separate play grounds for
the young ladies. who are entitled
to as much consideration as the
young men. With the area of
fifty acres now at the institutes
command all these various prob
lens are happily solved.
Bids are now being received for
the enlargement and completion
of the young ladies' brick dormi-
tory of 20 rooms. This gives the
institute three large brick build
ings, besides the protected (gal-
vanized iron) workshop, the Pres
ident's residence (frame) and the
large two and one-half story
frame residence recently pur-
chased for 1900 to be used as
an additional dormitory. The
actual present cash value of the
institute plant is $4,000.
The Institute has never had q
q more prosperous outlook.
The sixth session is to begin

MORE ABOUT ELKlNs.

The following are extracts from
the Washington Post, Of Saturday,
April 18th, with reference to the able
speech delivered by Senator Elkins
on the rate question::
"The speech Of the Senator is a
very strong statement and argument
by very strong man well equipped
with a knowledge of his subject and
inspired by desire to aid in TIE en-
actment of a law which will be I'M
doubtedly constitutional. and under
which abuses in the railroad system
can be punished, and the rights Of
shippers, carriers and consumers
given the protection to which all
persons and all classes are entitled"
'Mr. Elkins yesterday entertained
the Senate with one of the most en-
tightening speeches thus far deliver
ed on the railroad rate question. He
discussed the practical side of rail
reading, and threw light on a phase
of the issue that heretofore has been
neglected"
"Nfr. Elkins has had experience in
railroad construction, financing and
management, which peculiarly fits
him for dealing intelligently with
the rate question. He also discuss
ed the larger legal and constitutions
al questions involved with force and
cleverness. His speech made an
impression upon the Senate which
it is generally believed will have an
effect upon the future course of rate
regulation"

How the people laugh. when they
hear the News warbling about or
ganizing reform league. It is
enough TO make every one shake hi
sides. Just think of that crowd ad.
vocating such movement, and t.
think about it moment is to i'm.
press one with their hypocrisy. The
people of Harrison county are salts.
fed with their county officers. The
county officers are doing their duty
and doing it well. Judge Lynch
has been endorsed even by the
preachers. Sheriff Flanagan has the
praises of every one for the manner
in which he conducts his office
Prosecuting Attorney Morris is Civ,
en- the credit by all irrespective Of
political party Of being one of the
best the county ever had. All the
other county officers have the con.
fidence and respect Of the people
With these facts standing out prom,
inently it is little wonder the people
laugh, when the crowd that really
ought to reform themselves talks
about a reform league.

The vicious manner in which JUS

cause he believes in law and order
has awakened a good many people
and brought them back to their
senses. They now realize that that
alleged reform is not what it was
cracked up TO be. They also nave
found out what manner Of mean men
some Of the so-called reformers are.

form into greater disgrace. Those

The juvenile part of the so-called
reformers that do not reform them
selves had little mix-up Tuesday
afternoon and were going after one
another with clubs. The News
ought to announce under big head
lines that the Republican organiza-

That would be just as rational as
ANY statement they have made about
the fights that have occurred here
lately.

tell you they were in that office wears

WAGER OF BATTLE.
The First DueIs Are Said to Have
Been Fought In Italy.

The First DueIs Are Said to Have
Been Fought In Italy.
The first duels were fought in Italy,
according to Millingen, who speaks of
a manuscript discovered at Cassel and
describes d duel between a father and
a son in the reign Of the Emperor The
odoric. When Charlemagne forbade
wager of battle among the Lombards
he encountered the fercest opposition
from the MOBILES Early in the ninth
century De Medicis, a knight, defeated
in single combat the bandit Mugel
who devastated the FlOrentine district
now called after him, MugeIlo. Ohio
II. granted the prayer of the nobility
for the establishment of wager Of
battle in 9S8. Women and priests
were not compelled to accept it. The
Normans showed less gallantry. With
them a woman had to accept, nor could
she name d champion. Her male OPP
ponent however, was buried to his
waist in the earth. Armed with a
club, he tried to strike her as she cir
cled around him, his weapon being a
ball of iron at the end of a cord. If he
failed to touch her at the third at
tempt he was vanquished, which
meant to him death with dishonor
Beccarin says that the reason so
many dueIs were fought in Italy in
the early days is that where the law
does not afford protection one must
look to single combat to retain the re-
spect of ones fellow men. In the mid
die ages the ferocity of Italian duels
passes belief. Amy way of putting an
enemy to death Gogni modo) is good
enough" says one of their writer's.
when an Italian spares his vanquish-
ed adversary" says Brantome, she
mains his arms and legs and gives
him as a memento of his kindness and
generosity a hideous cash across the
face" Lampagnano practiced on a
painted model of Galeazzo Sforza be-
fore he stabbed him. Dueling was
called ''la SCHEMA cavalleresca. Corn
hill Magazine.
