being done to the house. Mrs. Keev-
er, however, had her eye brows badly
scorched.

Promoter Was in the City Last
Week Investigating the
Local Situation.
PLANS HOLDING COMPANY.
WATER WORKS AND BUILD AN
ELECTRIC PLANT ALL CON-
TROLLED BY SAME COMPANY.

Liberty, Ind, May eff present in
dications are true Liberty will soon do
away with gas for lighting its streets
and introduce electricity. A promoter
was in the city last week investigat-
ing the local situation and testing the
sentiment of the business men rela-
tive to installing an electric plant. His
proposition is to buy up the gas plant
and the water works and build an
electric plant, all three to be con-
trolled by the same company. The
electric plant would be built adjacent
to the water works so that one set of
men could handle both plants.
Whether the water works could be
bought is problematical as il is owned
by this city, and majority of the
members of council are known to favor
municipal ownership. Furthermore
council feels that it will only be a
matter of few months until Liberty
will be able to have electric street
lamps furnished by the l. and c. trac-
ton company which it is expected will
build a power house in this city.

A CRISIS EORECASTED.

It is not long since that conservatives
and successful hnancies have warned the
country against a crisis which may be
developed when least anticipated, With
speculative and get-rich-quick ventures,
when the few control and manipulate
the finances TO their own greed and ends,
clash would not be surprising. With
no intent at this time to engage III a dis
ct1ssion of the financial question, it may
be said that a system which Is affected,
apparently by the least upheaval or dis
content arising through friction Of CAPT
tai and labor, is not substantial.
1t has beena announced that money is
their grip on their reserves. Capital IS
always timid it is true, but a pertinent
query is why is money scarce and what
has become of the money? Is it tied
up, by whom and why?
At any rate, if there should be expe-
rienced a financial crisis, the South
could stand the shock with greater COM
posture than the North and West. Dur
ing the crisis cotton would decline, I'M
der adverse circumstances, but cotton.
as gold. would command the price
which would be dictated by the demand
and the supply visible. 1t is already
manifest that this years crop is much
shorter than prognosticated, and there
fore the price must rule niger rather
than lower The South, therefore, should
not worry. unnecessarily. over tinan-
cial crisis. which. while it would last,
would lead to some embarrassments. but
from such a calamity the South would
emerge triumphant.

EOUALIZING ASSESSMENTS.

The Homer Guardian Journal says
The secretary of the State Board of
Equalization has compiled some rather
interesting information III regard to the
average assessed value of livestock i'll
the various parishes. The average as
scsScd aluo of mules. for instance, III st.
Landry parish is only $500 while III
Plaquemlnes II is $4,000. The average
value Of horses III Iafourchc parish is
only $1,000, while it is $5r25 IN East
Baton Rouge The average assessed
value Of cattle runs from $500 III the
majority Of the parishes to SIS 90 IN
Orleans The average assessed value Of
mules in Claiborne is $500. horses
5000. cattle $500.
This statement by the Guardian our
nal is an emphasis II the fact that the
equalization. Of which much has been
said officially. is "a deluslon and 4
