On the other hand. collections are still

to slow deliveries of goods, congestion of
farm product deliveries and finally to the

Money is still high in prices. A long per-

the matter of crop prospects. before ex-

SCHOOLS WILL BE GAMERS

The indications are that the oil
public education is to be greatly benefited
by the special session of the Legislature
The sherifs, tax collectors, tax assessors
and other oficeholders may suffer in the
matter of salaries, but the schools are to
be large gamers. In their interest three
measures are on the high road to final
enactment:
l.. The school fund is no longer to
yield a commission to the parish treas
urers for handling the moneys of the
schools.
2. Tax collectors are no longer to re-
ceive fees for collecting special taxes i'm
posed for the maintenance of schools and
the erection of school buildings.
8. Assessors hereafter are to be linn
tied to one per cent instead of four on
school taxes they assess.

THE YOUTHS COMPANION CALEN.
OAR FOR 1908

The publishers of the Youths Com
panion will, as always at this season, pre-
sent to every subscriber whose subscrip-
ton (S1.75) is paid for 1908 a beautiful
Calendar for the new year. Four paint
ings by artists of distinction are repro
duced in the four panels Of the Calendar
by a process of color-printing which has
been recently brought to remarkable ex-
cellence. The first of the panels is an in
spring sea scene, full of the beauty of the
wide ocean and sky, and the joyous rush
of the homeward-bound ship. The sec
ond is a fine cattle piece. The third
pictures an old mill at Zaandam-typi-
cally Dutch in treatment. The fourth
panel depicts a Girl with Roses'-a
charming face, exquisite in color and ex-
preston. All the pictures are worthy of
preservation long after 1908 has passed
into the good old times.

NO MORE GUESS WORK

The assessors of the parishes of the
State will not have the easy time making
up their abstracts for the State Board of
Equalization for the coming year, as they
did during the past year.
For next year Secretary Curley will re-
quire the assessors to 60 before a notary
public and swear to the, correctness of the
abstract tLat he sends to the State Board.
The assessment rolls that have been
filed with the State Auditor during the
past two months show that the assessors
in making up their abstracts went largely
by guess work. None of the assessment
rolls showed the total assessment, that
their abstracts filed with the State Board
indicated they should, taking into ac-
count the changes in assessments Or
dered by the Board.

THE Niger IN THE WooDPILE


There is a deal of whispering in Wash
ington about the Preciado case. The
point of interest consists in the contradic-
tory positions taken by the President and
the State Department in regard to the
Brownsville affair in August, 1906. Pre-
ciado was a citizen of Mexico living in
Brownsville, and claims to have been
wounded in the. hand by soldiers Of the
United States in the riot at Browns
vile, and, therefore, demands $4,000
damages from our government. The
State Department denies that American
soldiers did the injury with the knowl-
edge or consent Of their officers, or after
the officers had such notice of impending
trouble as to put them on their guardand
oblige them to take precautionary meas
ores. Preciado replies that this position
u contrary to the declarations Of the Pres
ident Of the United States, and the testi-
mony on the Subject. In other words,
Preciado takes the Roosevelt view Of the
riot, while the State Department insists
on the Foraker view. It is a pretty case.

AN DECISION

- sEEE# e. Zf& -s
The Alexandria postofice is in receipt
of information from the Assistant Attor-
ney-General at Washington, to the effect
that tickets and advertising Of all kinds
about chance games and lotteries for pri-
vate gain or for charities should be ex-
cluded from the mails. This includes
advertising about rafies, tickets sent
from one town to another fpr drawings
for articles being disposed5of for CHAIR
table benefits, etc. The Attorney-Gen-
'eral writes: "The scheme outlined is
plainly a lottery, and matter of every
kind advertising or in any manner relat-
ing to it should be excluded from the
mails. The law makes no distinction be-
tween lotteries for private gain and those
for charitable purposes. Town Talk.

A STALWART KEPT GUESSING

President Roosevelt has evidently be-
logged the usually clear brain of former
United States Senator Spooner, for he
said when asked whether MI. Roosevelt
will be a candidate for President again:
"God alone knows. He has said he
won't be a candidate. He has said he
will be a candidate. He is impulsive. He
is cratic. He is honest in his desires,
but the mar does not live who can say
whether he will run again or not. That's

A RAYIN INDISTRY

The following conditions described by
the Winfield Sentinel are so applicable
10 Opelousas, that we reproduce the
article here az a pointer to some enter
prising person who may desire to take the
matter up:
It seems a little strange that some of
the NEST marketable and most demanded
necessities of daily consumption, particu-
larly in rural towns, should be the scare
est. Here in Winfield, in q farming
county, chickens and milk are always in
demand, yet difficult to procure. Eggs
are plentiful, but hgh-priced. This sug-
gests that a well-eenducted poultry and
dairy farm would prove highly rem nera-
tive to any energetic and practical farmer
who would give the proper time and stten-
ton to the conduct and establishment of
a systematic poultry and dairy farm.
There would be no question as to mar
keting the products of such a plant
where reasonable profits are charged for
chickens, eggs, butter md milk. VIM
field particularly needs a naor plentiful
supply of pure, wholesome milk. There
are many places contiguous to this town
where a dairy could sdvantageously be
established. Chickens can be raised
where wholesome water, a good range
and proper food could be furnished. Like
every other business, this kind of indus
try needs constant care and attention,
and can be made a slbeeess1with a view OF
receiving the fruits of the labor devoted
to it. Any business can be made. pay
ing business that is carefully, systematic
ally and properly conducted.

The plan formulated in New Orlean
last Saturday to 1educe the acreage O
cotton next year i'm an effort to increas
its price was arranged by the Board O
Directors of the Farmers Educationa
and Protective Union of America. 4
meeting was called to be heldin Memphi
OF Jan. 7th, next, to lay this pan befor,
the cotton farmers of the South. A pla1
to hold at least 5000 900 bales OF cottol
of this years crop in warehouses until tn
price advanced to fifteen cents was alst
considered at the meeting which begar
in New Orleans last Saturday.
The financial situation was thought tt
require careful cooperation by planters
in order to hold up the price of cotton I,
is proposed to store the cotton in ware
houses and to make a warehouse receipt
on cotton as nearly as possible the equi-
valent of money, in order to better insure
the success of the storing scheme. The
recommendations adopted at last Satur-
days meeting in New Orleans will be sub
mitted to the vote of the cotton planters
in each of the States represented at the
meeting. These States are Louisiana,
Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama,
Tennessee, Oklahoma, South Carolina
and Arkansas.
C. S. Barrett of Union City, Ca, ma
tional president of the Farmers Union,
presided. 49, t,s
The proposed reduction in acreage of
cotton is to fix the minimum price of cot
ton at about fifteen cents per pound.
"The Union controls six million bales
today said President C.. r. Barrett of
the Georgia Union, land we are confident
that atleast sixty-fve per cent of this can
be held off the market without any suf-
fering resulting to the farmer through
the lack of sufficient funds and supplies
from other crops. l shall be greatly sur
prised if we do not see cotton sellil-s at
fifteen cents a pound before Jan. l, 1908,
but believe that a reduced acreage next
season will make it even higher"
1t is proposed to establish agencies at
Galveston, New Orleans and Savannah to
enable farmers to keep in close touch with
the spinner and save middlemen's profit.
A circular letter alleged to have been
written by a prominent New York cotton
Spectator urging bankers to force cotton
on the market by foreclosure was read to
the directors last Saturday. They de-
cided to tissue an official call for farmers to
deposits and to otherwise boy
colt banks which attempt to force the
marketing of cotton by foreclosure. The
directors announced that their report es-
