j. Franklin Caveney At Auditorium
Monday Night.

The first number of the lecture
course will be given at the auditorium
Monday night.
In this number the famous clay
modeler and cartoonist, will entertain
his audience with q display of his
wonderful skill in bringing his ideals
out of the dead clay, and his skill In
making his chalk and paper present
the beautiful scenes of life. Mr.. Cav
eney is one of the best known artists
of his line, now before the people.
Since his appear ance upon the lyceum
platform, twelve years ago. he has
steadily risen in public favor until
his fame now spreads from the At
lantic to the Pacific.
Another extremely popular portion
of the program, and one that will ap-
peal to the people of Welsh, is the
vocal performance of Marie M. CAV
eney. who has voice of rare power
and beauty. Many of her songs are
rapidly illustrated by Mr.. Caveney,
making them doubly impressive.
This is rare opportunity for the
people of Welsh to enjoy one OF the
finest attractions of the kind, on the
road today.

Farmers VIII Hold Their Rice.

At an informal meeting of farmers,
held in this city Wednesday afternoon,
to discuss the present rice situation, a
number OF the leading planters ex-
pressed their views on the outlook.
The consensus OF opinion seemed to
be that there was no real cause for
the recent slump in the rice market.
That it Was brought about, in the
main, by New Orleans mills endeavor-
ing to bear the market SO as tO
stock up on cheap rice before th ; final
advance comes.
The farmers in this section are in
pretty good circumstances and there
is no disposition on their part to sell
at present prices. In fac', the general
sentiment seems to be in favor of hold:
ing the remainder of the crop until
February or March, unless the price
advances to the proper point prior tc
that time.
In summing up the present situa
ton, it appears that the farmers are
in better condition than they have ev'
err been before, and are able to hole
the remainder of their crop as long as
they wish.

Sulphurt Mine Assessment COmprO-
missed,

At the regular monthly meeting of
the parish police jury held last week a
compromise was effected between that
body representing the Parish of
Calcasieu, and the Union Sulphur
Company, upon the subject of the as
sessment of the sulphur mines.
BY the terms of the contract the
Sulphur company is to pay taxes on a
valuation of $1,000, 900 on the 100 acres
of land constituting the actual sulphur
mine property and on valuatinon of
S. per acre on the balance of their
land. The taxation on the sulphur is
to be based on the gross output and
on other property. such as holdings,
machinery etc., at such figures as an
equitable enumeration will show.
Under this agreement the assessment
for 1906 will be 50, $40, 416, ,84: for 1907,
SO, $50, 726, "a; for 1908. s3,34S, ,597, II,
The assessments for 1909 and 1910 will
be determined, aside from the land
valuation, by the sulphur output and
tn amount of improvements mad
each year.

MASS MEETING TUESDAY EVENING.
Transfer of School Property Discussed
Meeting Poorly Attended.

Meeting Poorly Attended.
About twenty taxpayers responded
to the call of the mayor for a mass
meeting at the city hall Tuesday even
ing, for the consideration of the prop
sition suggested by State Superin-
tendent Harris, of placing the Welsh
schools in the list of accredited high
schools.
While the small attendance seemed
to indicate a spirit of indifference,
on the part of most Of the citizens,
; on the subject, yet those who were
present discussed tie question with
much enthusiasm, and with but one or
two exceptions, everyone present
seemed to favor the movement.
The mayor had previously appoint
ed committee to look into the matter
and secure legal opinion upon tn
same. This committee was composed
of Messrs. Calkins, Jones and Will
ard. Mr.. Calkins, the chairman OF
the committee, being absent, MIR.
Jones gave verbal report of the ac-
tion of the committee. MIR. Gabbert,
the local director, explained at some
length, Superintendent Harris views
on the.question, in which he stated
that in order to become an accredited
high school, it is necessary to trans
fer the title of the building and grounds
to the parish board, to secure ap-
paratus for a Laboratory, the minimum
cost of which would be about $500,
and the securing of another teacher,
In order to give more time for recita-
ton periods, and to permit the in
PRODUCTION of music and drawing in the
course. The subject was then pretty
thoroughly discussed by A. T. Jones,
N. c.. Davis, DR.. Lewis. DR.. Cooper,
w. p. Russell, Jr., Prof. Wampler,
c.. E. Carr and others. The question
of finance seemed to have been the
chief objection urged against the ac-
ton. AS stated above, the sentiment
of those present was almost unani-
nous in favor of the change. The
meeting adjourned without taking any
definite action on the matter.
Immediately after the adjournment
an adjourned meeting OF the city
council was held to consider the ac-
tion of the mass meeting. After some
. further discussion of the matter, in
which the three member of the coun-
Gil present, Messrs. Willard, Jones
, and Boiling, stated definitely that they
were in favor of the movement, and
the mayor, C. E. Carr, was equally as
} definite in his disapproval OF the &C
tion at the present time. Council ad
iourned without taking any action
, Mr.. Carr gives as his reason for op
! posing any action in the matter at th'
present time, the apparent lack OF In
terest on the part of the citizens, th'
financial condition of the city and tn
fact that this is question sprung a
a moments notice, after all arrange
= ments and appointments of fund
: for the present school year had bee
= made.
