Milea Wide.

New Orleans, June 8-The first
definite news from the flooded parish
of Cameron, in the southwest corner
of Louisiana, arrived Friday night.
The inhabitants are safe, the dis
patches say. but so deep are the floods
that the sheriff is travelling in a gas
olene launch and skiff over what were
fertile cotton fields a few days ago,
In an effort to summon the July grand
jury.
Nearly the entire parish, which con-
tains 500 square miles and about
5000 inhabitants, has been under wa
ter. Ninety percent of the cotton in
the fields has been submerged from
one to five feet deep. Hundreds have
been driven from their homes. A
few high ridges standing above the
water contain thousands of cattle
which will die of starvation unless
the floods subside quickly. In II >
southern and eastern parts of the >sS>
ish farmers have abandoned tiari
places for the year, and will make a
temporary living elsewhere. Rivers
which caused the flood are running
miles wide and make the outlook seri-

Judge BROOKS Overruies Motion Made
by Defendant Company.
Austin, June 8.-The motion of the
attorneys for the Waters Pierce Oh
company for new trial in the custer
and penalties SUIT brought by the
state was refused hearing before
Judge Brooks T. B. Cochran and N.
A. Stedman made the arguments fol-
the defendant Their sole argument
for a new trial was based on the con.
tention that the antitrust law of 1908
repealed the penalty section of the
laws of 1899.
Judge Cochran held that the court
erred In the instructions to the jury
that it should assess penalties of be-
tween 5000 and $4,000 day for every
day the law was violated for the pc
Rod between 1900 and 1903, the time
covered by the antitrust laws of 1899
They held that the penalties should
have been but $50 day, the penalties
fixed by law under the act of 1903.
Judge Brooks in everything the mo-
ton, said that the law is plain on that
subject. and that there can be nc
doubt as to the intention of what the
legislature intended in the enactment
of the law of 1903

THE OLD SONGS.

Sweet songs of old! How memory
brings
Their music back to me
Until each bell Of heaven rings
Salvation full and free!
Joy to the world the music sweet
Has filled million souls,
And marked the time for marching feet
To where old Jordan rolls.
Il need Thee ev'ry hour for ]
Oft weary by the way;
And while the years are rolling by
Thou art my guide and stay.
Abide with me- through calm and
stress,
Protect me by Thy might;
My weak and falt'ring footsteps bless
With thine own Kindly Light. .
The dear old songs! Their echoes fill
The qu:et evening air;
They bid me bear life's load until
"There1l be no sorrow there. Z
by cool Siloan's shady rill'
Whose waters howeth Free,
Lead me each day and night until
Nearer, my God, to Thee. =
And when ION Jordan's stormy banks
My feet shall STAN. at last;
When | shall see the ransomed ranks
From whom all care is cast,
10 there may I, though vile as he
Christ did that day behold,
The city's. walls of jasper see
And walk its streets of gold.

SCHOOLS ASWELLIZED.

Referring to meddling in the School
Board affairs Of DeSoto parish, the
Mansfield Journal says: When it is I'M
derstood that the board has done more
for the schools than any of its prede-
cessors; that the schools are in a more
prosperous condition than ever before
and that Superintendent Goss has con-
tributed largely to bring about these
conditions, the assaults of the Enter
prise cause surprise here. Superintend-
ent Aswell wants Mr.. Goss removed IN
order to vindicate the Aswellian policy.
Why the Enterprise wants the same
thing is a matter of conjecture, especial
ly when such an autocratic proceeding
would involve eleven good citizens in
humiliation and no good purpose what
