The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1907-04-26

In an article last week headed
ssome facts and figures" we. said
"that in 1903 the receipts of the
Rock Island Railroad amounted
to $14O0 while the total for 1906
amounted to $27,761. This
should have read: The freight
receipts for the month of Decem-
Der 1903 amounted to $1,000 and
the receipts for December,
1906, amounted to $27,761.
The increase IN the business of
the other two railroads,the Lou
isiana & Arkansas and the Louis
lana Railway & Navigation Co.,
while we have not the figures at
hand, was correspondingly great.
We make this correction that a
misapprehension of our business
may not mislead.

WINnfIflD IRON WORKS AND MACHINE

Il was our pleasure to visit this
mammoth industrial plant. the
pride of WINFIELD. one day this
week and we were received by
that prince of good fellows, John
B. Smith, who presides at the
desk, who conducted us into the
shops, where we found the master
mechanic, Mr.. Williams, up to his
eyes in work running q lathe.
The general superintendent. Mr..
c. F. Gavin. then came in and he
courteously conducted us first
through the machine shop show
ing the different machines, includ-
ing the immense wheel press and
wheel lathe, the shaper, planer.
gear cutter. bolt machine and
drills, then in the pattern room a
recent addition where the band
saw wood lathe and all the mod
ern tools for making patterns.
We then went into the boiler shop
where we found a number of men
engaged in all kinds of boiler
work. We noticed locomotive
tank about complete made here.
We were then conducted into the
foundry where We found three
mol1ers preparing the TASKS to
take two ton heat, of every con-
ceivable kind of casting used
about locomotive or a railroad
car. From there we went into
the blacksmith shop, whichis per-
haps the most complete in the
State, where there is one of the
largest steam hammers; and we
noticed a device or crane for
handling heavy iron aad We be-
licve it to be the most convenient
and best adapted we have ever
seen. We watched the process of
welding splice on boiler tubes.
The process was most interesting
asd we took occasion to take the
time it required to weld the tubes
lii required only two and half
minutes to put the splice on the
tube heat and weld it ready to go
in the boiler. There were three
locomotives in the shop being

The New City Hall.

For the past two weeks Archi-
tect and Superintendent William
Mcintosh has been getting the
material on background, had the
concrete foundations made and
on Tuesday morning Mr.. Harry
Malcolm, foreman of the brick
work, laid out the work by
stretching lines preparatory to
commencing the actual laying of
brick in the afternoon.
At p. M, fat the sound of the
whistle, a number of gentlemen
were present to see the actual
work begin, including His Honor,
Mayor G. M. Bevill, and Mr.. J.
d. Pace, secretary of the Progress
sive League. The suggestion that
the mayor lay the first brick met
with unanimous approval and His
Honor promptly took the trowel
and stepped to the mortar board
and filed it like an old hand at
the business and laid the first
brick, after which the actual
work of laying the brick in the
City Hall commenced and will be
pushed as fast es men can do the
work. We will in a few days be
able to give our readers picture
of the City Hall.

WINFIELD scoHOol BUILDING.

The citizens of the WINFIELD
school district, including the city
Of WINFIELD, are to vote tax OF
FIVE mills on the dollar for the
purpose of providing ways and
means of building a school house
for the High School located in
this city. The present building
is entirely inadequate and never
was suited for the purpose. We
have had occasion to refer to this
in previous issues of this paper.
We have now enrolled in our
school something over FIVE hun
dred students and every room in
the building is crowded so as to
be absolutely uncomfortable.
What We need and should have
is modern school building with
large airy school rooms. with wide
Railways, each room fitted with
cloak and toilet rooms with lava
tories in each. The city will soon
have a water works system, which
will furnish ample supply of good
and wholesome water for drinking
purposes.
A basement story should be
provided that could be used for
recreation hours during inclement
weather and gymnasium should
be in this room. The building
should be heated with hot air from
a furnace in the basement. In
fact, every convenience known to
modern science for the comfort
ofthe teachers and students should
be installed. Our High School is
now open to all students living in.
the parish free of charge. We
have corps Of teachers that
will compare with any high school
in the State. They are cultured
and we'll trained in the art Of
teaching and are SO recognized by
the educators of the State.
We anticipate that in the near
future We will have to build two
or more primary school buildings
tor the accommodation of our
increasing school population-toH
be located convenient for the lit
tie fellows. To do this We will
not be called upon to vote any
further tax because we believe.
With the advent of this increasing
population. a corresponding in
crease in values, will produce suf-
hcient revenue to do this work
before the expiration OF term for
which the tax will be voted.
We can not believe there is !
man ID the scnool district who
could have the nerve to vote
against this tax. Our neighbor-

moderate cost to the government, in

say that last years mail contracts made
by this government for the carrying of
the United States mails to foreign
countries cost the government great
deal more money than was received in
return for postage. Only one out Of
many foreign mail lines brought any
returns, and that was the route from
New York to Southampton and if all
charges on land and sea were known
and properly charged to this account.
that line failed to bring a revenue
sufficient to cover the cost.
THE bill during its entire life had
behind it highly paid lobby. Matters
of legislation supported in this way
always arouse my suspicious. 1t was
difficult to understand the interest in
this bill of some of the most persistent
lobbyists except on the theory that the
special interests which the bill would
benefit, and not the interests of our
merchant marine at large, kept them
there"

era House in New York the soubrette
Of the company was too iii to appear,
and her understudy was also absent.
In his predicament the stage manager
appealed to this particular chorus girl
to go on and read the lines as well as
she could. The girl said she would not
only read the lines, but could sing the
songs as well, all of which she did, and
did with confidence and ability, and
for the first time in her life had a spot
light follow her about the stage and
heard waves Of applause rush over the
footlights which were intended for her
and her only. After 1t was all over
bhe said quite casually to the admiring
throng that surrounded her: There's

girl eight years. but I'm too old to be d
principal. II hope it'll never happen

GRANGE IN POLITICS.
But There Can He No Politics In
the Grange.

the Grange.
AS regularly as come the autumn
weather and the falling leaves comes
the season for politics and politicians.
With it comes the oft repeated and al
ways denied assertion that "the grange
has gone into politics." "the grange
candidates." etc. Never would this
great national organization, which
knows no north, south, east or west,
have lasted these forty years had it
been partisan organization or lent its
aid to parties and to partisans, remarks
Mortimer Whitehead In American Ag-
riculturst. Other farmers organiza.
tons have come and gone that were
organized to make q new party or to
place its men on tickets and in office,
but the grange, as an Order true to its
original principles and its platform, has
moved steadily onward, avoiding the
rocks upon which others have been
shipwrecked. In its earliest years the
grange proclaimed to the world its
general objects and clearly stated: I'VE
emphatically and sincerely assert the
oft repeated truth taught in our organic
law that the grange, national, state or
subordinate, is not political or party
organization. No grange, il true to its
obligations, can discuss partisan or Sec
tartan questions, or call political con-
ventions, or nominate candidates, or
even can discuss their merits in its
meetings"
Yet to the watchful observer and
careful student 1t is plainly evident
that the grange is power for good In
politics. 1t works upon higher and
broader plane than partisan politics,
for it brings the best members of all
parties together, educates and guides
them, and to educate is to set free.

SPECIAL MEETINGS.
Members Should Not he Elected al
Such Times.

Members should Not BE Elected al
Such Times.
Sometimes the question arises for
discussion in our oranges as to wheth-
er candidates can be elected at spe-
cial meeting or not. BY q special we
mean a meeting not on the regular
dates chosen for the meetings. 1t may
be said that if the bylaws contain no
provision to the contrary, if notice has
been given to all members of the
grange, candidates can be elected to
membership at special meetings; but,
as rule, this Is not advisable. The
reason is this: A candidate who might
not be acceptable to certain members
Of the grange could be balloted for and
elected in the absence of such men,
bers from the special meeting, they not
knowing that the special meeting had
been called for that purpose. If they
are absent from regular meeting, they
can raise no objection, as their absence
Is their own fault. Whether announce
ment made at regular meeting of the
grange that special meeting for the
election of candidates to membership
would be held on a given date would
be considered legal notice to the men,
bers Of the grange may be an open
question. To be sure of possibly IL
legal action in this respect it would
be better for the secretary to notify
the members by person or by letter
that an election of candidates for mem.
bership would occur at a special meet
ing. AS exigencies are very rare that
would request election to membership
at any other than a regular meeting,
we would advise that all oranges OBJ
serve the rule to elect only at regular
meetings Gentleman.

Salt Cat For Pigeons.

Some persons make use of rock salt
Tor their pigeons; others table salt.
The writer lin the Feather) never used
anything other than a piece of salt
Goldfish nailed to board and hung
against the wall SO that the pigeons
reached it. Many differ with us as to
the use Of this, but we never had any
ailments in our loft after we had
cleaned out the diseased specimens,
quit the use Of salt of any kind, provid-
ed perfectly dry interior and used the
Goldfish for salt cat Personally we be-
lieve that the eating of rock salt, table
salt or salt of any kind by pigeons
causes throat trouble. Eating the cod
fish, which is sparingly done, provides
meat and salt as well.

GRANGEOPPOSES
Basis on which the Opposition Rests
Is Governmental.

II has been asked why the national
grange should oppose government irri-
CATION of the arid lands of the west.
The common belief is that because of
Increased production in the west of
farm products there would be an in
creased competition for the farmers OF
the east. This, however, Is not the
basis Of grange opposition. The irr-
cation of these lands at government
expense is based upon the principle
that such Improvement to the lands Of
the west is no more defensible as O
proposition than the improvement to
lands of the east by drainage and cul-
tivation at the expense Of the govern
ment AS national grange authority
has stated, ut would be difficult to
demonstrate why the government Is
more justified in distributing large
quantities Of water to improve land
than 1t would be in removing water
from equal areas of equally valuable
land where the system had been ap-

Two Story Henhouses.

Most two story poultry houses are
not used as it was planned they should
be, says a writer in FarmP Poultry. On
a small lot the yard room is more of a
problem than house room. A two story
house might be an advantage in win
ter, but in summer the number Of
fowls kept would more likely have to
be according to yard capacity. Gen
orally In two story house one story
is inconvenient Sometimes both are.
Common experience favors the one
story house.

Convenient "proppinos BOARD. y

Instead of solid platform or drop
pings board beneath the roosts use
two fairly wide boards in front of and
behind the roost. They will catch
practically all the droppings, and each
board can be carried out and emptied
when desired; or a basket can be
placed on the floor directly beneath the
opening between the boards and with
a hoe the droppings on one board can
be showed off into the basket and pull
ed forward into it from the other
Having but two boards, and these
loose, makes it easier to guard against
vermin.
