There is existing with many people
a wrong idea of The Kelley Cure--they
think it makes one i'll for a few days; or
it destroys The mind at first or last; or
that there are h%ardships connected with
the treatment. In no case is this true.
There is a noticeable improvement from
the start; the mind strengthens and re.
covers its normal condition and as the
drugs or alcohol is eliminated a healthy
condition is builded.

IARRylNi CCICEAlED WEAPONS.

The following from the Now Or.
leans Times Democrat regarding
the pistol toting habit aud tho of
forts of courts in Louisiana to stou
the practice is the general view
! over the state take of this subject
The action of Judge Rurria, of
the district court Of St. Tammany
parish in flung three young men
300 each, with m additional
punishment of ton days IN Jail, and
IN alternative of ninety days work
on tho public roads If the fine be
not paid, is calculated to discourage
the practice of "pistol toting" in
that immediate section. The facts
are not reported, but it il probable
that these young men were carry
ing revolvers merely ms a habit aud
not ~ a means of necessary or
supposed protection, Tho sentence
would perhaps not h W. been SO
heavy If the accused could have
demonstrated that there was any
necessity, real or imaginary, for
their armament, for tho Judge Ind
n wise discretion in the matter,
and his purpose was doubtless 10
strike Mt the oifense generally.
The habit Of carrying concealed
weapons IL either criminal or a
senseless one, aud whichever il
may be, should be brought to n
close. Many tragedies which
would not otherwise have happen
cd have resulted from this practice
and IL will continue to be breeder
of homicide until it ends. The |
severity of the sentence of Judge
Burris will therefore, commend !
itself to all Thoughtful persons, ard
will doubtless havo u handsome
effect throughout the jurisdiction
Of his court.

THE LOUISIANA CENTRAL.

Chief engineer OF the Central
Railroad of La, has returned to
the city and the surveying party
that has been with him in the
resurvey of the lines OF the road
will be here this afternoon. The
work is all done now, and all that
remains to be accomplished is
the building of the road,
The last few days of work
were most disagreeable. The
rain fell in torrents and the rice
fields were nothing but ponds of
water that had to be waded
through by the members of
their party. As one o. the
party expressed it, they should
have had boats instead of bug
gies to convey their instruments
over that section Of the country.
The line is now located from
one end of the road to the other
at Leesville. Grading can be re-
sumed on IL as soon as orders
are received and once begun
again there will be no more de
lay. From here west to point
beyond or above Ebenezer, the |
line is as straight as the crow
flies. No curves nor losses of
distance OF any kind will make
kinks in the rails, and once the
trains are running, fast time
should he made to the west. The
lime to Crowley ought to be
nearly three quarters of an hour
shorter than by the Southern Pa.

ROBBED ny TRUST

If there ever was u time whcr
the planters were justified in TAX
ing steps 10 protect themselves
from tho groedluess of the trus,
that time IL now. IL has been
shown that tho sugar trust invari
ably sends down the price Of sugar
just at cane cutting season in order
to bear the price of cane. Just rs
invariably the price il restored
after the crop has been purchased
at the lowest figures possible.
This has been done this year.
Tho low prices are already in effect
and the planter has to soil or else
lose his crop. He has no way of
protecting himself. If he were
organized no could have relineries
of his own. He could afford to let
the trust put down prices and
could wait for them to go up again
But until he il organized no will
be crushed just M no is being rob
bed this year and rs he has been
robbed in the past.
But here is another reason why
he should organize. If he had his
own refinery he could reap his own
profit from the crude material.
He could not only do this, but he
could make the profit that is now
derived from the manufacture of
the sugar.
To-day The Trust refinery allows
80 much per ton for the cane cal.
culating that each ton of cane
makes 80 much sugar. AS n mat
ter of fact, the ton of cane makes
nearly double the amount OF sugar
the trust allows for It, In fact II
Is estimated that there Is as much
profit as ~ per ton on every ton Of
sugar cane-pnrchased by the Trust
aud this profit is lost to the planter
simply because he must accept the
terms OF the Trust aud sell Mt the
prices and rates offered by IL.
IL it were possible for the plan
ters in each section TO game and
build n refinery Of their own, they |
could not only take advantage of
prices but they could get ell that
their plantation produced In actual
sugar. The difference in the
amount M grown aud ms actually
paid for in one year would pay the
construction Of refinery in one
year. IL It not strange under the
circumstances that there is not
more of an effort nj forming n co.
operative concern similar to that
which has been foundoperate 80 well
with the cotton growers. There is
a profit in unity while there seems
to be nothing to do hut tc submit
to ROBBERY while conditions are az
at present..

There will bo an important elec.
ton TO be held ia the stpte in the
spring of 1908. A new governor
Is to be elected aud many other
In portant positions are To be filled
and every man will want to have u
hand in the matter.
But to be entitled 10 vote the
laws of this state require that each
aud every man must pay his poll
tax before the 3lst day of Decem-
Der of each year, lo06 aud 1907.
II will not do to put off the pay.
ment ofeither one of these amounts.
| No person can pay both in any one
year but they must be paid separate
ly and before the specified time.

himself in position to DO so,
Even IL he does not think now that
be will care To exercise his right
there might something arise or
some condition of affairs come to

OF. FIELD MAY BE DuvEI opED.
According to we'll toundc,
reports, there IS every prosp Ct
that there will he an oil wei
sunk at Patoutvlilc on the
Bayou Jack canal where, as tolc
IN the tNTERrRIsE-LUADER il
has been thought oil exists ii
large quantities, The tounda
ton of this report lies IN the
fact that Capt. A. i. Lucas, the
father Ot Beaumont OF, has
made an examination Of the spot
where the oil cxudcs and has
expressed the opinion that he
had never seen better indlca-
tons.
Captain Iucus was here late
last week and has gone on TO
Washington but while III this
nclghborhood he went to the
point on the canal where the
oil was first located and made
an examination which satisfied
him that there was an oil bed
beneath the ground there. Ac-
cordIng TO the report, negota-
tons arc now IN progress where
by he will obtain certain rlght&
to the Winter property there
and II satisfactory arrangements
are made we'll will be sunk
within a very short time.
The matter, It is SAID, would
have been closed before this OK
cept that the terms could not be
satisfactorily settled. 1t is stat
ed however that a proposition
Is now in shape which will prob
ably he acceptable to all parties
and then work will go ahead.
From parties who know OF
the visit Of Captain Lucas to
the new field it is learned that he |
expressed himself as Of the
opinion that there was every
that oil existed there
in large quantatics. 1t is we'll
known that oil is found only
underneath a layer of rock.
From the indications it is ap-
parent that there must be
assure in the OVERLAPPING rock in
he vicinity OF the canal and
hat the oil cxudes through that
assure, IN sufficient quantity to
make its presence known.
Captain Lucas stirred up the
mud at'the bottom of the canal
nd the gas and oil bubbles rose
$ decidedly as they did when
he first party went to the neigh
'orhood and investigated a few
nonths ago. He made tests of
his gas and the oil, and deter
aimed that the were the actual
toduct and not the result of
ny vegetable decay as some ,
elieved. :
Whether it will be possible to 4
'rlke the oil at the first boring, :
a question, but it is under
TODD to be the opinion Of Cap :
lin Lucas that the indications /
re positive that there is huge o
ed of oil right there under t
cath the rock. If he accepts
nc terms that have been pro :,
osed, It is regarded as certain /
lat the first well will be sunk o
short order. II is stated that
'e capital for the exploitation
ready at a moments notice.
II is considered that if an oil
ED really exists underneath the
IRISH as suspected, there will
: an industry here that will
'aw the attention of the world
this spot. Before the oil t'
scovery at Beaumont, that
lrt OF the world was an unex- l.
ored wilderness. Today the
lme is known everywhere. II
If field is as good, and there is y
cry indication that it is, iberia =
IRISH will come to the front in
hurry. For this reason, if for is
other, the result of the first tc
ring will be anxiously awaited.
