ton at the Jamestown Exposition, as
well as our island possessions Many
of The great nations will have their
finest soldiers and most distinguished
commanders, their most magnificent
warships and best drilled crews. Th-
States OF the Union will have their
own handsome buildings and comprc

their National Guard to participate
with the soldiers OF the United States

About the Roads.
,or The Sentinel.

Editor The Sentinel.
A walk of six miles yesterday
over the public roads from Dod-
son to my sons thoroughly con-
vlnced me that my argument in
the past was timely and that the
action of our Police Jury in not
ordering an election to vote on a
5-mill tax for road Improvement
was blunder. | can not inn
agine their reasons for refusing
the people a right to vote a tax to
work the public roads. unless
some financial power intervened
and stopped the proceedings.
Captain Kidd once told me
that an attorney at law could
take S100 and defeat any ortli-
nance that might come before the
Police Jury. Be that as it may,
the time is certainly ripe for a
tax to work the public roads, and
now is the time to strike while
the roads are being cut to pieces
by the wagons of the public
works.
Let the farmers all over the
parish come to the front and
demand of the Police Jury an
ordinance to vote a tax and I'M
prove the roads before they be-
come absolutely impossible. 1t
can not be done by free labor.
Yours for good roads right at
once.

SHOT NEAR GANSVILLE.
w. j. Pine Shot Virgil Reed,
A Negro.

A shooting occurred here to-
day in which w. j. Pine of this
place shot Virgil Reed, negro,
whom he previously had some
difficulty with over a settlement.
Today the trouble was renewed
when Mr.. Pine asked Reed some
thing regarding what he had said
and asked him to stop and let
him talk to him. The negro re-
fused to do so and made an At
tempt to draw his gun, where
upon Mr.. Pine told him not to do
it: if he did he would shoot him.
But the negro still made an effort
as to draw his gun when Mr.. Pine
fired on him, the bullet hitting
him in the back and coming out
near the right nipple. The ball
entered near the middle of the
right side of the back bone.
Striking rib it glanced around
the rib. DIR. B. A. Wasson was
called in and dressed the wound
and pronounced it not neces-
sarily fatal. The negro said he
is sorry that the difficulty came
up, but that he was in the wrong.
Everything is quiet and no fur
ther trouble is expected.
Mr.. Pine is prosperous young
farmer of this country and prom
inently connected. No arrest has
been made as yet.

Dear Sir
In reply to your letter of the
Sth, inst, will state that you gave
inc a record of 45 cases in Su-
preme Court up TO the Sind
Annual. L suppose this is cor
rect, but | have had 81 cases in
the Supreme Court since that
time, making a total of SO cases.
| have been successful In prac-
tically all these cases. In five |
represented corporation interests
alone, the balance being for ln-
dividuals and for the Police Jury
and Town Council. and a large
lot being damage suits against
corporations, and In which l was
extremely successful.
| note that you say Judge
Dawkins had only three cases in
the Supreme Court as a lawyer,
and l find only Z reported for
him as Judge of his Court, in
which Supreme Court amend
ed or reversed four, and as you
say, it is unjust to me for him to
claim that am running on my
family record. with this showing
IN my favor, of about four cases
a year for % years practice.
which is better than any country
lawyer in the State. 1t was al
SO unjust for him to say anything
about my having a brother in
Congress supporting me. My
brother is supporting me, but he
did not bring me out as a can
didate. He is not the only one
working for me. My home Par
ish is solid for me. If there is
any one here opposing me active
ly, | am not aware of it. Be-
sides L have the Endorsement of
practically all the lawyers in the
district except the lawyers at
Ruston, who are anxious to put a
home man in Judge DawkIns'
place.
Don't understand me as under
rating Judge Dawkins at all. /
only wish to set myself right with
you and your friends.
/ might also state in this
connection that | ain not interes-
ted in any corporation or backed
bv any corporation in my candi-
dacy, nof do l hold a dollars
