AN OCEAN IN THE AIR.
The queer superstition That OnOs
Prevailed In England.


The curious superstition that there is
an ocean above the clouds Is illus
trated by the following strange story
by an Old English writer: "0ne Sunday
the people OF a certain village were
coming out OF church on a thick.
cloudy day when they saw the anchor
OF ship hooked to one OF the tomb
stones the cable. which was tightly
stretched, banging down from the air.
The people were astonished, and while
tliey were consulting about 1t suddenly
they saw the rope move as though
some one labored to pull up the an
Choir. The anchor, however, still held
fast by the stone, and a great noise
was heard in the air like the shouting
OF sailors Presently a sailor wac seen
sliding down the cable for the purpose
of un6xlng the anchor. When he had
Just lOOsened II the villagers seized
hold OF him. and while. in their hands
he quickly died, Just as though be had
been drowned.
about an hour later the sailors
above. heaFlfg no more OF their com.
rade. cut the cable aud sailed away. In
memory OF this extraordinary event
the people OF the village made the
hinges Of the church doors out OF the
iron OF the anchor" il Is further stat
cd that these hinges ARE still to be
seen there" bit Of evidence much
like Munchausen's rope wherewith he
once climbed 10 the moon. If you
doubted the story you were confronted
with the rope.
There Is another queer tale about
this aerial ocean "a merchant OF Bris-
tol." Il Is said. "set sail with his cargo
for Ireland. Some time after while his
family were at supper a knife sudden.
" fell In through a window on the Ia
bic. When the merchant returned and
saw the knife he declared Il 10 be his
own and said that on such a day, az
such an hour. while sailing In an UNI
keown part OF the sea. he dropped the
knife overheard, and the day and the
hour were found TO be exactly the time
when Il fell through the window" An

Harvie Jordan to Launch
Cotton Journal
WILL APPEAR MAY II
Primary Purpose is to Better
the Condition of the South
ern Agriculturists.

Harvie Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton Association, has
arranged to begin the publication
of 1.-The Cotton Journal" the
first number to appear May 18th
and every week after that date.
The Journal will be published
from Atlanta, Georgia, where
headquarters of the Southern
Cotton Association are located.
In prospectus the publishers
set forth the following:
The primary purpose of the
Journal is to better the condition
of the Southern agriculturist. If
this purpose can be accomplished,
it means a larger prosperity for
every one in the cotton belt.
For forty long and weary years
our people, by patient labor.
have been enriching other sec
tions and other people. Is it not
time for us to reap the full
reward of our labors?
Despite our natural resources,
despite the patient and constant
labor of our people, we are con-
fronted with the humiliating fact
that other sections possessing
only a fraction of our natural
advantages enjoy a greater pros
perity and can give their children
an equipment for the battle of
life which in too many eases are
denied to ours.
All this. because we have been
unaware of our strength, and
have permitted others to reap the
benefit of our labor.
We must better these con-
ditions. 1t can be done by our
combined strength, but it will
take all the strength of all of US
to do 1T.
We cannot trust to the benev-
olence of the outside world, but

SHOOTS HIS EMPLOYER.
Negro FIRES on A. j. Hayes
When Ordered to Work.

Alexandria, La. May 8.-A. j.
Hayes, grading contractor on
the Jena branch of the Red River
Valley Railroad, is lying at the
Sanitarium here in a serious con-
dition as the result of pistol
wounds inflicted by Nathan Bates,
a negro, about dark yesterday at
the camp of Hayes, six miles
from here. Bates escaped.
Hayes orded the negro to assist
in feeding team. The negro
refused, aud became insolent.
Hayes was about to whip him
when the negro pulled his pistol
and shot at Hayes three times,
two of the bullets taking effect.
One inflicted flesh wound in the
right arm. This ball was ex-
tracted. The second wound, in
the right hip, is not considered
dangerous. Bates had a bad rep
utation.

Deputy United States Marshal
Lea of Shreveport yesterday ar
rested j. A. Sanders of near Stills
postoffice in this parish on
charge of perjury in homestead
matter. Sanders is young man
and was surprised, to say the
least, that he should be arrested
on such charge when be has
never been a witness i'm a home
stead case.
The only reasonable explana-
tion of the affair is that mis-
take has been made in initials.
Sanders came to town aud gave
bond for his appearance at
United States Court at Alexan-
dria next Monday.

THE HIGH SCHOOL
Will Close Successful Ses-
sion May IS.
AN OUTDOOR PICNIC
And a Funny Game Of Baseball
Will Mark the Closing of
the School.

The most successful session IN
the history of the Winfield High
School will close Friday, May Is,
with an outdoor picnic and a
funny game of baseball.
Instead of closing with the
usual commencement exercises a
free for all picnic, speeches and
outdoor amusements will mark
the closing of this popular in
stitution. the reasons therefor
being set forth i'm the following
announcement which has been is
sued by the committee:
On next Friday, May Is, the
Winfield High School will close
with an interesting picnic. The
reason that we will have this kind
of closing instead Of a commence
ment is due to the fact that it is
impossible to have all pupils par
ticipate in exercises, that in train
ing so.many too much time would
be consumed and that the seating
capacity of the auditorium is too
small TO accommodate the people.
This being the condition of af-
fairs, and after talking over the
matter with some of the patrons,
we decided to have a picnic for
our closing-something every
body can enjoy.
An interesting program is being
arranged for this time. 1t con-
sists of speeches from all the
lawyers, preachers, and all other
speech makers of our town and
many other snappy amusements.
Now, i'm order to make this a
perfect success, we are going to
ask all the patrons and residents
of the town to assist US on this
occasion. Especially do we ask
the assistance of all the ladies
whether or not they are patrons
of the school. Come and bring
your baskets and we assure you q
day well spent. We are going to
arrange table for the dinner SO
your serving the people will not
be hard.
In the afternoon Mr.. w. NJ.
Wallace has promised to give US
one of the most comlcal and in
games of baseball ever
played on any diamond.
To sum up, we want every
family in Winfield to come and
bring basket. We want large
crowd, plenty to eat, and one of
the best days ever spent

charge of 125 Institute students,
boys and girls.
The visit was complete sur
prise to Winfield, but every one
endeayored to make the visitors
enjoy themselves.
This town has a warm welcome
for surprise parties of such jolly
people. May they come again
soon and often.

RAIL RATE REGULATION
Senator Foster Made a Learned
Speech on this Important
Question.

We are in receipt of a copy of
the speech made in the senate
by Hon. Nj. J. Foster on the reg
ulation of railroad rates. SEN
ator Foster shows that he has
given the subject a thorough
study. He made a mastery pre-
sentation of the case and we here
in copy the concluding paragra-
graphs of his speech:
Mr.. President, the people know
that national and state bountles
went into the building of the
roads; they know that the wealth
of the co untry has contributed to
the success of the railroads, as
the railroads have aided in the
development of the wealth of the
country; they know the railroads,
having grown to power, feel safe
in whatever wrong or injustice
they may practice. anil they feel
and they know that there is no
relief from the extortionate de-
mands and Unjust imposition of
these roads other than that to a
certain extent these corporations
are governmental agencies exer-
cIsing in part governmental func-
tions, and to that extent are sub
ject to government control, and
they appeal to this Congress to
SO control and regulate them that
the tariffs and schedules of
charges which they may establish
shall be subject to government
revision. They are asking no
further protection of this Re
public than the monarchs of the
Old World extend to their SUBJ
jects.
No civilized government in the
world permits this class of cor
porations, engaged in, a public
service and to that extent public
servants, the unrestricted right to
fix and establish the rates which
the people shall pay before they
can move their produce. In
England, France, Germany,
Austria, Russia, and. in fact, all
over Europe the governments
either owns these public utilities
or through some boards. trib-
unals, or other agencies control
and regulate the carriers in their
transportation charges.
And while it has been conten-
ded that Government control of
the public carriers in the conti-
mental countries has resulted in q
higher rate Of charges, yet | have
such an abiding faith in our in
stitutions and in the strength and
fairness of our Government, that
| am led to believe the COVER
mental control of these vast cor
porate agencies will In the end
lead to the greatest good to the
greatest number.
