WINFIELD BUSINESS
Prospects Good For Even Bet
ter Business.

Business among the merchants
of Winfield during this summer
has been exceedingly good and
the prospects for a very large
trade during the fall and winter
are exceedingly bright. The COM
pletion of the dyke and bridges
across the Dugdemonia and Port
de Loup at Gorham's crossing
and the trestle bridge at the old
Crooked Bridge crossing makes
it possible for Winfield to get
the trade of wards two, three,
four and seven that has been
going elsewhere because they
could not cross these impossible
swamps.
The low freight rate, which
the Progressive League has
secured on cotton will put our
merchants in position to be able
to pay more for cotton than they
otherwise could. The splendid
offer made by the merchants of
Winfield to pay railroad fare to
all who purchase as much as
twenty dollars worth of goods
should bring lots of trade. Sew
eral of our merchants have
enlarged their business houses
and increased their stocks, so it
is safe to say that there is no place
where a person can do better
than to come to WINFIELD to sell
their cotton aud do their trading.
The Farmers Union will
establish q warehouse here, where
o farmer, if he so desires, can
store his cotton where it will be
kept dry and insured, as long as
he may want to hold it, and if he
should need 1t he can deposit bis
warehouse receipt and borrow
what money he may want tor i'm
mediate use, at q reasonable
interest. The stave mill, saw
mills, machine shop and brick
plant working on full and over
time, each with full crews of men,
make the prospects for business
in Winfield better than they
ever were before.

who sustained slight injury, suf-

Mr.. A. j. Long was driving the
bus and was following the two
other busses that preceded him
from the depot. ALI stopped at
the railroad crossing on account
of the street being block with
cars. The engineer opened the
crossing and the other busses
crossed, but just as his horses
got on the track the engine ran
into them, injuring one of the
horses very badly and hurting the
other. The bus was considerably
damaged, one wheel smashed, the
axle bent and thrown down the
dump. Had it not been for the
pensence of mind of Mr.. Long
there would have been a
terrible accident. As soon as he
saw the engine start to move be
pulled his horses as well off of
the track as he could, thereby
averting what would have been q
fatal collision. The bus was filled

if there should be any real danger,
the board would take the neces-
sary action to protect the state,
feeling that the money would be

bullet from q 32-calibre Win

The negro who did the shooting
had gone to the brick factory,

Address.
STATES HIS BELIEF
The Burden of Taxation Should
be Equally Dispensed is
Theory Of Law.

Hon. w. M. Wallace, candi-
date for member of the State
Board of Equalizers from the
Fourth District, has issued the
following address to the voters
of the district:
WINFIELD, La,
August 20, 1906.
To the Voters of Fourth Con-
gressional District.
My dear sirs and friends:
As you doubtless already know,
| am a candidate for member of
the State Board of Equalization,
and / take this method of more
particularly asking for your sup
port. l would like to see per-
sonally every voter in the district,
but the time is short and the
district is large and l will only
be able to see q limited number
of them. / expect to see every
one l can..
recognize that the Office for
which l ask is one of response
bility and duty, and / now
promise that, if elected, / shall
discharge my official duties with
oat fear or favor.
1t is the theory of the law that
the burden of taxation should be
exually dispensed. l believe this
is right, and 1 want no better
platform upon which to solicit
your vote and your influence.
/ have been unable to get a
complete list of the voters of
your parish, and L will ever be
grateful if you will speak to your
friends and neighbors of me, tell
them of my candidacy and what
you can learn of me.
Many of you are unknown to
me, and l cheerfully refer you to
the people among whom l have
been born and reared. I will be
glad for you to think of me as
they do and vote for me as they
do.
1t will give me pleasure to
answer any inquiry, furnish
any references or to correspond
with any: one who will be kind
enough to help me get my claims
fairly and honestly before the
people.
Trusting that I may have your
cooperation from now until Sep
tember 9th, | am very respectful
ly, yours,
w. Nj. WALLACE.

IMPROVED AGRICULTURE
He Has Demonstrated What
Can be Done on WInn
Parish Farms.

The Sentinel has always con-
tended the soils in this parish are
admirably adapted to fruits, veg
etables, peas, corn. etc., s and we
have urged the farmers to diver
sify their crops to cover at least
. portion of these instead of all
cotton, knowing as we do that
there is . good local market for
fruit and vegetables and conse-
quently more money to be made
by diversifcation than by cotton
alone for q money crop.
It gives us pleasure to report
the successes made by all who
undertake s'new agriculture" and
