SOUTHERN GRIT
AND ENDURANCE
Courage and Energy Bringing
the South to the Fore in
Material Growth.

LII there are any people on the
face of the earth whose hearts
are valorously true. they are the
men and women of this Southland.
The besom of destruction that
sweeps down on their homes,
whether from war, the desola-
ton of tornadoes and the resist
less torrent of accumulated floods,
seems to have no power to dis
courage or dishearten them.
Girding up their loins anew to
resume the combat, they ever
evince the courage, endurance
and splendid spirit that have
already made them famous and
written their names high on the
scroll of fame.
When the government came to
their rescue with the offer of aid
in the shape of seed to replant
their desolateI lands. they knew
that there was an energy and
industry in the hearts of the
agricultural toilers of the South,
that would make their hearts
and they would set
about reclaimipg the lands from
the destructive flood and wrest
new rewards fIom the barren
wastes invaded by the angry
waters.
So wherever there has been left |
even a remnant of their holdings
with which to fight the battle
anew. they have begun the work
of recuperation.
1t Is well known that when the
rising waters threatened to invade
the town of Colfax and the adj
jacent fields of promising corn
and cotton Ex-senator G.. Ii.
Teal. with other enthusiastic
citizens. came to the fore to
the irvading element.
Then battle royal was waged.
A line of levees four miles IN
length was constructed. Every
available man o. boy who could
WELD a spade was summoned to
the fray. Day and night the
was waged with unre,nit-
Ting energy. No rest was taken.
[n mud and water, human grit
and endurance were tried to their
almost limit.
At the crucial period of the
light the angry and baffied flood
broke through the line of levees,
,rly to be fought back with
Utmost superhuman courage. 1t

GOOD TRUCK LANDS
FOR Immigration
This Class of CultivatoPs Need
ed to Fill UP the Waste
Places Hereabout.

Dodson, La, Aug. 1st, 1908.
Editor Southern Sentinel:
We are very much interested IN
getting some good immigration
here from the Middle and North
west. We find the people there
are moving to Texas and Canada
but they do not care to come to
Louisiana on account of the
malaria and other maladies COM
mon to hot climates. They do
not seem to realize that one-third
or more of our State Is hill
or upIands country with As good
health record as any part of the
South. l am writing this to see
if | can get a suggestion from our
Parish Board of Health, Police
Jury, Progressive Leagues or
some one else as to way in which
we can get vital statistics of the
sickness in our parish for a few
months. If we could get an official
report of this kind from the Board
of Health it would be of great
advantage to our people when
they are looking for homeseekers.
The great obstacle in getting
desirable people to move here is
our health, mosquitoes and drink
ing water, and this record is based
on the State as whole with no
exceptions of the upland parishes.
There are thousands of acres of
fine fruit and truck lands which
should be in cultivation, that are
now lying idle and the advantages
of more people can be seen from
any standpoint. 1t will put new
enthusiasm into our people. The
more fruit and truck raised the
better prices we will get as it
would attract buyers to this
market. We would have canning
factories and other enterprises,
and of course the cash business of
the parish would be greatly in
creased. We have several thou
sand acres of red lands near here
similar to the fine tobacco lands
of Nacogdoches, Texas, and we
could induce Kentucky tobacco
raisers to settle here if they could
learn the truth about the health
of our parish. There are many
hundreds of acres of fine truck
lands that can be gotten for very
small sum. The superior school
advantages We offer together with
hundreds of natural advantages, j
feel that we have some great in
ducements to offer and think it is
time for us to be up and doing
8 something for the upbuilding of
oar parish. will appreciate a
as to the best method
of getting the report of the sick
ness of our parish.

To the Democratic Voters of the Third Supreme
Court District:
Gentlemen: | submit to your
consideration my candidacy to
succeed myself on the Supreme
Bench.
A man aspiring to become one
of the high priests otyour temple

pledge made to myself seven
years ago when | was appointed
to the same high position, and
that is 10 work faithfully and 10

THE MONEY IN KINDNESS.

Until humankind has attained con-
siderably nearer to the goal of perfec-
ton than at present the fact that a re-
form has a utilitarian side will not be
considered a handicap to its success,
says the Chicago Post. The remarks
of President William DeLosse Love Of
the Connecticut Humane society at a
recent annual meeting of that organi-
cation are, therefore, worthy of notice.
He says:
THE difference in value of animals
in Connecticut under humane or in
humane treatment is enormous. 1t
has been estimated that the produc-
tive value of a horse is extended five
years by proper use, food and care.
II his net earning power is only 25
cents a day, and he works six days a
week, he earns SIS a year, and in
five years 1890"
There being some $4,000 horses in
Connecticut, Mr.. Love estimated that
humane treatment would increase
their value by nearly twenty million
dollars. Then he did little figuring
on the 125,44O cows in the state, with
this result:
"These cows average six and one
fourth quarts of milk a day. If, as
claimed, a cows productive life is ex-
tended two years by proper treatment
the value of this milk at cents a
quart would amount to s31S.5O for
each animal, and the aggregate for the
cows in the state would be more than
$40, 900, OOO."
There are, of course, more admira-
BILE arguments for kindness to animals
that the profit that lies in humane
treatment, but since it takes all kinds
of people to make a world, these fig
ures undoubtedly will appeal to some.

THE BEST NEWSPAPER.

The Philistine is Of the opinion that
the best newspaper to the world is the
Philadelphia North American, because
ii is edited by men of purpose and in
dividuality, and through its warp and
woof runs a silken thread Of good will
TO humanity.
AS one scans the average newspaper
the expression Of good will to human
ity is conspicuous chiefly for its abb
sence. Shakespeare said something
about the evil that men do living
after them and the good being inter-
red with their bones.
The average newspaper does much
to make the evil that men do stand
out prominently and live as long as
possible, says the Philistine.
II a charge is brought against a
man, though he be ever so innocent
his name is dragged before the public
and the details Of the supposed wrong
magnifie dto the fullest extent. Some
times a man is 50 lacking In the in
stincts Of a gentleman that the only
way 70 deal with him is to roast him
10 a turn and then turn him over and
roast him on the other side.
But to connect a man with a crime

THE HIGH PRICE MOVEMENT.

For the past five years high prices
have been the order of the day
throughout the northwest, especially.
Prices for wheat, wool, wood, flour,
coal, clothing provisions of all kinds,
and in fact, everything bought or sold,
have scared.
Wages and rents have reached the
zenith. Never before in the north
west have such high wages been paid
in all lines of industry as during the
past three years. Never have such
high rents been paid. Never have land
prices scared so high. Never has it
cost so much to live. Never have the
expenses of operating industrial enter
prises been SO high.
The movement of prices have been
constantly upward and in many lines
an unreasonable limit has been reach
ed. Wages took the first slump last
fall when the financial panic came on.
Wool has taken a tumble, although
nobody is able to tell why. Fuel prices
will never be as high again.
Lumber has been so high that it
has stopped all building and so lum-
ber prices are coming down to a sane
level. Rents have been beyond all
reason. Industries cannot afford to
pay such rents as have prevailed.
There is not enough profit in an ordi-
nary business to justify such rents
ard so everything points to a return
TO a medium, bona fide. logical busi-
ness basis.
The water is being squeezed out of
the hysterical high prices, as it were
and the cost of living will be reduced
while every industry will still be re-
warded with a fair income from the
capital invested.
AS long as the extremely high prices
of everything prevail business is un-
settled. People feel uneasy as to H.
nancial conditions and there is a
panicky air everywhere, although sur
face prosperity may prevail.
It is much better for the country to
have moderate prices, based upon the
actual worth of products and COM
modities. People feel secure and bus
iness settled down to a substantial
basis where it is sure to remain
steadily.

4 MAN WITH \ DRUM.

1t was a beautiful summer evening.
Main street in Pendleton, was filled
with men standing in front of the
stores and shops, enjoying the delight
full evening and chatting.
Suddenly the noise of a big base
drum booming down the street caused
every neck to be stretched in that di-
rection. 1t seemed as If a regiment Of
men had suddenly started marching
down the street, so vociferously was
the big drum being beaten.
Boom, boom, boom Numbered the
drum, louder and louder as its bearer
proceeded down the street. But in
stead of a regiment, there appeared
one lone Salvation Army captain,
walking down the middle Of the street
beating his drum, head erect, face ra-
diant. vigor in his step, determination
in his eyes!
Half way down the street he be-
gan singing at the top of his voice.
1t was an old, old hymn, but mingled
with the booming of the drum, it had
a martial and inspiring air to it to-
night. 1t wasn't classlcaL but it was
stirring.
Suddenly the lone marcher wheeled
and took a station in front of a crowd
and began preaching. Every step was
made with the precision Of a regi-
ment He marched as vigorously, as
dignlfied, as precise as though he were
leading a thousand soldiers. 1t was
really an inspiring performance, to
say nothing of your belief or disbe-
lief. your faith or infidelity, your
Christianity or paganism.
1t requires a superb heroism to be
brave when alone and in the presence
Of only scoffs and sneers. 1t requires
courage to stand up for principle In
the face Of a jeering world. 1t re-
uuires almost a divine bravery to face
scorn, derision!
1t is easy to show courage in the
thick of the fight, with the huzzas Of
the boys ringing in your ears! But 1t
takes a soldier to stand up erect and
be shot at when alone and unseen by
your comrades or the world.
