ANOTHER VISIT OF
THE FIRE FIEND
The Residence Of Prof. w. c.
Robinson is Completely
Destroyed.

Winfield has again suffered a
visitation from the fire fiend. AT
midnight last Monday night. the
alarm of fire was sounded by the
whistles and shooting guns. The
elegant residence of Prof. W.
e. Robinson, principal of the
Winfield High School. on Front
street, was discovered to be In
flames. When discovered the
entire kitchen roof and a part of
the residence were in bright
blaze. A citizen aroused h e
family who were asleep. So rapid
had been the progress of tle
blaze when first seen, that there
was little opportunity to save any
of the household effects. The
piano, q very few articles OF
furniture and a small number of
books were saved from destruc-
ton. The professor when first
s en- was hatless, without top
shirt and had on his hastily
donned suit of clothes. He lost
the balance of his wearing ap
parel, his fine collection of books
and other belongings.
just how the FIRE originated Is
mere conjecture. There had been
bat little FIRE i'm tie house and
the supposition is that it caught
from defective fiue.
The night was cold and per-
fectly calm. To this latter cir.
cumstance can be attributeeERh Y
escape from more disastrous
confagratiop, as we'll as the large
areas around the residences. A
it was the residence of j. H.
Scott south of it smoked from
the intense heat and seemed as n
it was doomed, while DIR. L. +
Siess' residence north was
bIistered. But the active worE
of the citizens prevented theil
ignition.
The loss on dwelling and house
hold furniture and effects il
estimated at fully $4,000. Th'
house was Insured for 1000. ant
the furniture for $500.
Too much praise cannot b
bestowed on the citizens for th'
active exertions they alway
display in emergencies of thi
character, in aid of their un
fortunate neighbors. Their sym
pathy is thus shown BY thei
deeds. It is the laurel wreatl
that always crowns their goo
fellowship and citizenship.

lature, Frankly Outlines
His Principles

take the opportunity to express
myself on some of the questions

In the first place / want to say
that the governor, in his call for
the extra session of the legisla-
ture, has touched upon many
questions that / believe need con-
sideration. If his recommends
tions are carried out l believe the
state will have better and cheaper
government.
l. l believe that it is wrong
in principle for many of our
sheriffs. clerks, assessors and
district attorneys to receive. In
fees and commissions, compensa-
tions out of proportion to the
services rendered, and that they
should be paid salary.
2. The railroad commission Is
beginning to do some good work.
Their powers ought to be in
creased so that they can do the
work that comes before them.
8. / believe that the laws OF
our state, discriminating in favor
of corporations, ought to be so
amended that the common people
would be placed on equal footing
with them.

PLAINLY DEFINED
ARE HIS PRINCIPLES
Mr.. Sam Barksdale as Legisla-
tive Candidate is 0utspoken
on Leading Issues
To the People of the Parish of
of Wiun.

To the People of the Parish of
of Winn:
In announcing as candidate
to represent you in the lower
house of the next general assem-
bly,, it is expected of every one
who asplres to this important
position to present to the people
their views on public affairs; and
in doing this / will say that l
believe in equal and exact justice
to all men, of whatever persua-
sion, religious and political. and
of whatever trade, avocation,
profession, business and calling,
and that all laws on our statute
books should he good and whole
some that will inure to the bene-
fit and welfare of the people,
and rebound to the interest of
the State and the peace. pros
perity and happiness of its in
habitan.s.
A very important feature In
the affairs of our State is the
increased valuation of property,
the principal cause of which is
the development of its resources;
and the rate of taxation should
be fixed at the lowest possible
amount to defray the expenses of
the State economically admin
istered. A move has already
been made in this direction by
the call of a special session OF
legislature in the near future,
and it is presumed that the ses-
sion will carry out the will of the
people in this direction.
The constitution provides thai
the legislature shall pass laws tt
suppress gambling, and this pro.
vision of the constitution shoule
be carried into full effect and nj
gambling allowed within th.
limits of the State.
The buying and selling fol
constructive future deliver,
Influences the market price O
actual delivery of our products
especially cotton, and the pric'
is not therefore governed by tn
natural consequences of suppl.
and demand, but is fiuctuated b.
the "Dealers". An act to pro
hibit dealing in futures, con
structive delivery, will meet witt
my full support.
I 1t is said "look not upon tn
wine when it is red, and gi ret
its color in the cup, for behol'
1t biteth like q serpent an,
stingeth like an adder" A.
Who have bad experience kno'
this to be true, then why no

its sale.
