Arkansas Tea.

Little Rock, Dec. 7.-Special-- "I drank tea grown in Arkansas p years ago" said Major R. A.. Dowdy, United States Army, re- tired, attached to the Arkansas National Guard, today, while dis. cussing the recent bulletin of the National Department of Agricul- ture, regarding the tea culture in South Carolina, and other states. Continuing Major Dowdy related some interesting history regard ing the growing of tea in Arkan sas. Japan never has nor nev- CT will grow better tea" said he. and when the right people push this industry it will mean as
 much to the state as it's rice and it's cotton. Arkansas is a great state. and needs only the hand of experiment and experience to
 bring out it's latent possibilities. |"

Senator Davis will return to Little Rock on December 19 for the holidays and to test the political wind in the race for governor.

800 MINERS ENTOMBED
Explosion of Coal Dust in a West Virein.
 ia Mine Resul tS Disastrously

Falrmont, w. Va, Dec. 6.-An explosion of coal dust in mines Nos. 6 and s of the Consolidated Coal Company of Baltimore, To- cated on opposite sides of the Monongahela river at Mononga- hela, six miles from here, this morning resulted in what indi- cations arei is the worst disaster in the history of the coal miners industry of America.
 The most conservative reports place the..number of men entomb ed by the explosion at 300 and nearly all estimates, including those of most of the coal com pany officials, place the number at 300. Some estimates place the number even higher. About 1000 miners are employed in the two workings and most of them, it Is said, had entered the mine before the explosion ocurred.
 Only five bodies had been re- moved up to 3 o'clock.
 It may be several hours before the rescuers reach the scene of the explosion.
 It is reported and partially confirmed, that the mine has taken fire, further handicaping the reScuers and furnishing a new menace to the lives of the entombed men, should any of them have escaped the explosion.
 A dispatch to the Fairmount Times from the Monongahela mines, received at 3:30, places the number of dead at 425.

The governors office was in charge of General Paul Little, secretary to the governor. Major l.. P. Berry and Major A. R. Dowdy aided him in the work.

Burglars visited the home of Mir. Chas. Wingfeld on Main Street Thursday night. They pursued the same course as oth- CT places recently, searching the the house for money but taking no jewelry or other articles of value. Ernest told us that they opened several old purses but found nothing, and his descrip- tion is very similar to that of their visit to the home of the Star family some time ago, on which occasion they secured nicllle with a hole in it, and sev- eral articles of less importance.

 Little Rock, December 7.-The reports that various Little Rock dealers will fight the cigarette law which goes into effect here January 1, appears to be without foundation. The leading dealers have been interviewed, and none will make any statement regard ing his position except that he is a law abiding citizen of the state of Arkansas. It is regretted that this report gained circula- tion from the fact that the peo- pie of Little Rock are as good citizens as are those of any other section of Arkansas. It is not believed that any dealers in this city have discussed the probab- ility of fighting the law, but that the report was misunderstand- ing of the conditions, sent out without careful lnvestiga tion of the facts in the case:

AN AUTHENTIC STORY.

Roger s. was the son of wealthy Partisan
parents. He was only years old when his father
died. and until his 22d year he had remained at
home with his mother, who day by day saw in him
the consolation and mainstay of her declining
years.
But these fond hopes Of hers we're destined not
10 last Roger had the misfortune of being enticed
by some of his friends into a circle made up mostly
Of adopts of Masonry, who gradually and with Sa-
tanic cunning drew him away from his duties both
as son and Catholic, and finally initiated him into
their lodge.
Six months had hardly passed before he became
their willing victim. Dazzled by the glamor of the
new society in which he found himself, he took
solemn oath to deny the promises he had made at
baptism and to work against God and his church
In this terrific downfall nothing remained of MS
shattered faith-nothing but flial love for the
Blessed Virgin love which had been instilled into
him at an early age, and which no solicitations had
ever been able to weaken.
In the programme of the lodge the day came
when he had to ratify in writing the act by which

Mid the fiower-wreathed tombs | stand.
Bearing lilies in my hand.
Comrades! in what soldier-grave
Sleeps the bravest of the brave?
Is 1t he who sank to rest
With his colors round his breast?
Friendship makes his tomb shrine;
Garlands veil its as not mine
One low grave, yon trees beneath.
Bears no roses, wears no wreath;
Yet no heart more high and warm
Ever dared the battle storm,
Never CLEANED prouder eye
In the front of victory,
Never foot had frmer tread
On the field where hope lay dead.
Than are hid within this tomb.
Where the INTENDED grasses bloom.
And no stone, with feigned distress,
Mocks the sacred loneliness.
Youth and beauty, dauntless will.
Dreams that life could ne'er fulfill,
Here lie buried; here in peace
Wrongs and woes have found release.
Turning from my comrades eyes,
kneeling where a woman lies,
! strew lilies on the grave
Of the bravest of the brave

The Commencement Exer-

May 25, with the Annual Joint
session of the Attakapas and
Avatar literary societies. The
large auditorium of the Institute
was filled with the students,

from Lafayette and abroad.
The number of greatest interest
was the contest for the gold
medal offered annually by Judge
Julian Mouton to the best de-
batter of the school, ard this year
it was given by the judges to
Miss Marguerite Ditch, of Nor
gan City. who with Miss Ludi-
vine Badeaux defended the
affirmative of the question: Re-
solved, that Louisiana should
have compulsory education for
children from six to fourteen
years of age. Mr.. Nichols
Bradford and Mr.. Samuel
Caruthers defended the mega
tive of the question so ably that
the decision of the Judges was
not unanimous. 1t was the feel
ing of many of the audience than
the debate was as good as eyer
had been heard in Lafayette,
and that it would have done
credit to an institution Of much
