SCHOOL LIBRARIES
IN LOUISIANA
Report Showing the Number
Established In the Diff
ferent Parishes.


A Baton Rouge correspondent
of the Shreveport Times has this
to say concerning the school lib
raries in this State:
A report has been received BY
]. b. Aswell, state superintendent
of education, from the different
parishes showing the total num-
ber of libraries established In the
different parishes of the state
since the adjournment of the
General Assembly last year, when
the new bill was passed encourag-
ing the establishment of libraries
by authorizing the school boards
to make an appropriation of $40
for every library established in
the different schools under its
Jurisdiction, where an equal sum
had been raised by the friends of
this school for library purposes.
This report shows total num-
Der of 79l libraries established IN
the state during the past year,
and a total of $s,670.02 expended
on these libraries.
All of this has been done since
the passage of the bill by the last
session of the General Assembly,
which aided in the establishment
of these libraries, and it is con-
sidered by educators throughout
the state as the most hopeful and
encouraging sign in the present
school upbuilding. 1t puts the
best literature that can be bought
before every school child in
Louisiana.
The report shows that Jeffer-
son, Rapides and West Carroll
parishes are the only parishes IN
the state that have not been alive
to the situation and secured the
establishments of libraries for the
school. 1t also shows that De
Soto, East Carroll and Webster
only established one library each
during the past year. While Cal
casieu carries off the honor for
establishing the largest number.
by putting 4g in operation during
the past year.
Caddo parish comes next with
48 libraries established in the
public schools of that parish dur
ing the past session.
The following are the number
of libraries established in the diff
ferent parishes. with the amounts
expended for library purpose:

Washington during the recent
Confederate Reunion, says a
Richmond, Va, special to
the New York Tribune, and
was met by q delegation of
Confederate veterans. Mr.. Davis
intrusted the Confederate seal to
Jones just before Richmond was
evacuated, and told him to hide
it. He did so. General West, of
Atlanta; Commander Callahan,
of Washington, and Captain
McMahon, of Athens, Ga, rep
resenting the Confederate vet
Grams, offered him $4,000 to
produce the great seal. Jones
replied that no money could
tempt him to betray the trust

Davis, and said the secret would
be buried with him. Jones went

POISON THE
BOIL WEEVIl
Captain Marston Gives Some
Advice---His Experience
With the Weevil.

Capt. B. w. Marston of the
State Crop Pest Commission, in
his last letter on the subject of
Paris green and boil weevill
poisoning, says that within q year
poisoning by this method of get
ting rid of the weevil will become
universal. In his letter he says:
81 regret to notice that many
pessimists have thrown up the
sponge because there are SO
many weeviIs in sight. / killed
sixty weeviIs on one stalk of cot
ton In one week with one poison
ing. Had there been six hundred
on that stalk they could have
been just as easily killed. One
stalk of this cotton was carried
into the town of Lockport, Texas;
with forty grown bolls on it. In
an adjoining field, conditions
being identical, the cotton not
poisoned did not make three
bolls to the stalk. The field poi
soned made six bales. The field
not poisoned, about the same size,
to my astonishment, made two
bales. This cotton was made in
the intermission between the
passing away of the old weevil|
and the advent of the new. L
believe the planters who poison
in<elligently will be amply re-
warded. II all would poison
inteIligently il would be
much better. / predict that an
other year poisoning of the
weevll viii be almost universal,
because enough will have sue
ceeded this year 10 make good."-

SENATE.

The resolution of Senator Culber-
son Of Texas, directing the commit.
tee on finance to investigate the
causes Of the present financial strin-
gency and to recommend immediate
mean for its relief, was allowed tc
lie or the table and 1t will be the
subject of remarks by Mr.. Culberson
at some future time.
The republican senators held q
caucus Tuesday and accepted the re-
port from the committee on commit.
tees on the assignment Of senators to
committees. Many changes were made
In assignments to chairmanships and
new senators secured the following
chairmanships: Bourne of Oregon,
fisheries; Dixon of Montana, civil serv.
ice examination; Borah of Idaho,
weights and measures.
The senators who will serve on the
democratic congressional campaign
committee for 1908 have been named
as follows: Clay, Taliaferri, Martin,
Stone, Newlands, Latimer, owen, Cul.
berson and Taylor.
The senate discussed for two hours
a bill to allow a suspension of the
law requiring annual work on mining
claims, in the course of being perfect
ed, to the amount of at least 500 an
nually during the year 1908. The bill
was urged because of the difficulty
of securing funds for prosecuting the
work. Action on the measure wa!
finally defeated by a motion OF Sena
tor Carter, who called for an execu
tive session at the moment the bill
was to be voted upon. 1t can not nov
come up until after the holidays.

new BANKING LAW
OKLAHOMA pEPosIToRs PRO-
TEcTEo BY GUARANTY FUND.
BECOMES OPERATIVE FEBRUARY II
State Banks Pay I Per Cent Of Aver.
age Daily Deposits to Board to
Protect Patrons.

Guthrie, Okla.-The new banking
law for the state OF Oklahoma, wherein
is provided a guaranty fund for the
protection of depositors in insolvent
banks, will become operative Feb. II,
1908. Its makers believe 1t will make
impossible a run on an individual
bank or permit a money panic in the
state.
Each state bank is required to pay
to the state banking board a sum
equal to l per cent Of its daily average
deposits. Whenever this sum is de.
pleted It shall be increased by further
assessments.
When a bank fails, the state bank
examiner steps in and forthwith pays
the depositors from the guaranty
funds held by the banking board.
These payments become a first lien
on the assets of the defunct bank.
National banks that wish to avail
themselves of the benefits of the law
may do so upon a plan agreed upon
by the banking board, the bank com.
missioner and the comptroller OF the
currency Of the United States.
