Finley Facts.

Geo. Z. Finley has completed his
contract of grading on the new railroad
and is now grading on a 5O0-foot extern

merchant, is enjoying nice trade
these days.
O. Ziegler and f. N. Carrie spent
Sunday afternoon with Charly Knautz,

which promises good yield this year.
w. F. Garlic has taken the contract
to put up crop of hay on Mr.. Lewis
place north of this city. This is Mr..

next.
Several tons of freight for the Finley
Mercantile Co. have been brought in
from Kennewick during the past week.

OIL NEAR RINGGOLD.
Excitement Over Striking an
Oil Flow.

Ringgold, La. May 1.-Con-
siderable excitement prevails
throughout this section as the re-
suit of an oil strike At the plant
of the Globe Lumber Company,
twelve miles south of Ringgold.
While drilling an artesian we'll a
slight flow of oil was found at a
depth of 1900 feet. At this point
the drill struck a cap rock, and 1t

indications as favorable to the
presence of oil in paying guam

There is something very fine IN
that scene i'm San Francisco when
the guns of the country were
turned on the palaces of the rich

them down in order to protect the
humber homes of the people

us that this act is significant. and

Monday seemed to be special
land day at the Office of Clerk of
Court p. X. Abel. He and his
deputies were busy through the
entire day taking testimony in
final proof and timber aud stone
cases, some six parties offering
proof that day that they have
lived the required number of years
on their homesteads while four
others offered evidence that land

timber or stone than for agri-

THE MONROE AND SOUTHWESTERN
HEADED FOR WINFIELD.

A special from Monroe, pub
lished elsewhere in this paper,
gives us the flattering prospects
of another railroad i'm WINFIELD.
The fact that the Iron Mountain
is behind the Monroe and South
western is guarantee that this
important road to Winfield will
be built. A committee of the
Progressive League was appointed
at the last meeting to confer with
the fremont & Gulf and with the
Monroe & Southwestern anc in
vite them to WINFIELD. Since
these changes have been made IN
the last named road it would be
we'll for our people to see the
officials of the Iron Mountain.
We regard this road as one of
the most important that can come
to WINFIELD. We feel satisfied
if they come here that they will
go out of here in different d.
rection from any Of the other
roads. Should they follow the
survey of the original Monroe &
Natchitoches road they will go
through the finest bodies OF
timber in Winn parish, which
means the finest il tho South, and
passing within half mile of the
Marble Quarry and about the
same distance from the celebra-
ted Coochie Brake. the finest
body of cypress timber in the
world, averaging sixty and sew
enty thousand feet per acre. and
also the Coochie Rock Hill,
where there is worlds of fine
building stone.
This road completed to Match.
!, itoches would make Winfield
the Atlanta of the southwest.

STORMY SESSION OF LEGISLATURE.

The approaching session of the
Legislature will probably be one
of the stormiest in the recent his
tory of the state. Aside from the
fact that new speaker is to. be
elected to succeed the lamented
r HI. Snyder, many important
questions are awaiting settlement
by the Legislature. Prominent
among these may be mentioned a
primary election law. an act to
regulate life insurance companies
doing business in this State, a law
to amplify and make more effect
i've the DEGREES of the Railroad
Commission, a decrease of the
rate OF State taxation, the return
to the police juries of the right to
review all assessments. and the
election of all officials from the
governor to ward constable, in
Guiding, of course, members OF
the school boards and assessors.
This last pToposition-the cleo
ton of all public servants by a
direct vote of the peoples the
paramount ISSUE of the day, and
if the Legislature is responsive to
the will Of the people, as We be-
lieve it is, it will lose no time in
enacting the necessary legislation
along these lines.-Sugar Planter.

A CURIOUS ARGUMENT.

Discussing the proposed ap-
plication to the General Assem-
bly, for the enactment of a law
prohibiting the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors within six miles of the
Louisiana State Normal school at
Natchitoches, the Natchitoches
Times, among other objections
says:
From a moral standpoint we
are against the use of liquor and
drunkenness; but the evils are
here and We must meet them. Ii
a young man can't rub right up
against liquor and a saloon and
resist their influence he is unfit to
be trained as teacher. We
would not place ourselves in the
attitude of defending, enc ourag-
ing or befriending the liquor
traffic. but it is question of local
option and moral training. We
believe that the proper way to
build up moral character is lit
orally in SIM" To be good be-
cause there is no chance or temp
tation to be bad is not morality
or religion.
Under the circumstances we
deem the proposed act entirely
unnecessary and oppressive.

FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1906.
BACK TO PARISH JUDGES.

The Echo is going to in the
near future begin aserles OF blood
and thunder articles on the
judiciary system of this State,
and we want to secure the views
of every country editor in the
State on the subject. What we
are to ask for is a return to the
old parish judge system. with but
one improvement, and that is, the
parish judge shall be a practicing
lawyer. We believe the onlv
reason the parish judgeship ever
fell into disrepute was for the
reason that men were permitted
to hold the office who were not
learned in the law.-St Helena
Echo.
We agree with you abou:
having parish judges, Bro. Hol-
land, but we think you have
started the campaign rather late.
The Legislature will soon meet
and this is a question which that
body would have to consider.
With the power that the district
judges WELD it will be pretty hard
at this late date for you to get
your idea into the .heads of the
legislators sufficiently to make
them return to the parish judge
plan. Still we think that this
ought to be done. 1t looks un,
reasonable in this age of enlight
eminent for a neighboring parish
to have to depend upon anothe1
parish for its judicial mind. lie
each parish have its own judge
and bear the expense thereof
Thibodaux Comet.
"Them's our sentiments. pre-
zactly." Return to parish judges
and elect men who know the law
and provide for terms of cour
as often as reeded SO as to empty
the jails of a class of petit Grim
inals who are looking for cheap
board and lodging" A judge
residing in parish would have
more interest in maintaining
Flaw and order" in that parish
than one residing in another ane
entirely different parish. At least
We think SO. Judge Holland ha.
our permission to go ahead anc
have the judiciary system
changed.

Representative Stewart of
Webster parish calls the attention
of his constituents to number of
bills which will come before the
approaching session of the Legis-
lature and asks them to discuss
the proposed laws with him so
that he may be able to cast his
vote in way that would be sat
isfactery to his constituency.
That is not a bad idea. If more
of our Legislators would become
familiar with the wishes OF the
people and act accordingly we
would have fewer and less cum
bcrsone laws.

COLE FOR GOVERNOR
Nominated on Fourth Ballot at Minne-
sofa Republican State Convention,
Which Opened at Duluth Today
Perplexiny Situation When conven-
ton Opened-Many Candidates.

Duluth Ntinn., June 13.-The repub-
lican state convention was called to or
der here this morning. Minnesota has
never seen Il convention of the republic
mixed than this. With seven active
candidates for the nomination for gov
ernor, seven for secretary of state, two
involved in fierce fight for state
auditor. three for treasurer, and still
more all down the line, and every one
having strongly committed delega-
tions, the situation had failed abso-
lutely to clear itself up to the moment
of the opening. The air has been rife
with rumors of deals between candi-
dates, and trading of support, but to
all appearances everything is in the
air. The forces are so thoroughly di-
vided that every candidate seems to be
afraid to make any deal for fear it will
have disastrous effect. j. F. Jacob
son. of Madison, is leader in the fight
for the nomination for governor;
George Simpson, of Winona, was chos-
en- temporary chairman of the conven
ton.
The temporary organization was
made permanent, and the usual COM
mittees named. United States Senator
knute Nelson was endorsed for re-
election by rising vote. Chief JUS
tice Start was nominated to succeed
himself A. l.. Cole was nominated for
governor on the fourth ballot.
