Yours very truly,
THoS. ID. GOLD.

We are glad to print the above
from Mr.. Gold. who was member
of the last Grand Jury. Our arti-
Gle was based upon information
which came from close to Mr..
SmallwOOd, and we considered it
most reliable. We are glad that
we were misinformed, inasmuch
as we didn't think Sheriff Small
wood was due to be censured for
the escape OF a prisoner from the
County Jail under the circum-
stances surrounding the escape of
Lille Robinson. .-ED. COURIER.

Jury Didn't CritiCiSe.
Mr.. EDITOR:


In your editorial notice of the
resignatiOn Of Mr.. Smallwood from
the office of Sheriff of the County.
YOU say that the resignation was
brought about by severe adverse
criticism by the Grand Jury.
As member of the Grand Jury.
and after talking with four other
members of the Jury (making five
'ut of seven members) | have con-
'luded that 1t was due to the Jury
hat this statement should not be
mchallenged.
The Jury was charged by The
Judge, after being sworn. as To
thelr duties. Referring To the
rscapc OF a prisoner from the iail.
we're told by him that we should
investigate the matter and report
the Court; that The Sheriff was
'cSponsihie to the Court and that
me JailOr was responsible to the
Sheriff. Soon after reaching our
room, Mr.. SmallwOud vas asked
to take the witness stand aud tell
Us ali Inc knew Of The matter.
There WAS no question asked ror
Nord spoken during his cxamina-
ION crit cising him in any way for
his action i'm the whole matter.
Nothing waS brought out in any
NaA connecting him with the
escape. and he was dismissed with
out one word OF blaine or uufavor-
/ iblc comment. If any cause foI
blame had been discovered. the
/ Grand Jury would have reported
/ ~ Ia the Court. Atno time during
/ MS presence nor in his absence die
The Jury criticiSe his action in tho
natter. Our report to the Cuurt
vas that the JaiIor had been neg.
llgent in his duty in keeping the
prisoner. and for that he was re.
SponSible. Upon our entering the
Jury Room a remark was made bN
pnc member OF the Jury, whicl
was taken rs jOcular by the other,
which. if taken seriously, might
have caused some feeling on the
part of Mr.. Smallwood. This re.
mark was made before the Jury
took their seats and entered upon
the examination. Even if taker
seriously, it was not the expression
nr the Jury nor the thought of the
Jury, and it is most unfair that
for the chance remark of one, foI
which he alone was responsible
that the impression is sought 10 bt
made upon the public that the jury
had officially severaly criticised
him.
Mr.. Smallwood had the right t.
resign at any time he desired, anC
the public had no right TO know
what the inducements were tobrins
about his resignation. 1t was hi.
own affair. But it is manifestlN
unjust to attempt to saddle upor
the Grand Jury responsibility fol
a matter in which they were en-
tirely innocent and with whicl
they had nothing to do, even mos
remotely

Engineer blanche of the Rock

OF the flying bullets in the affray
ut Bernice last week, died of his
wounds at the Ruston Sanitarium.
The Louisiana, Arkansas and
Gulf railroad, which has CON-
pleted its track between Monroe
and Bastrop, a distance of about
thirty miles, began running reg
ular trains between these two
points on Thursday, April %.
The recent disastrous storm
that struck sections of the l., X,
q n. line did no material damage
to the track, nor interfered with
the travel between Shreveport
and New Orleans. Trains on this
road are now making good time
between these two cities.
Despite the heavy downpour of
rams of recent date, the fremont
q Gulf track has been kept in
excellent condition, and the
trains, except in rare instances,
have been running on schedule
time. No pains or expense are
being spared to make the line safe
and reliable, much TO the gratifi-
cation of the travelling public and
shippers.
The Farmerville G. Southern
Railroad, projected from Monroe,
La. to Hope, Ark, has secured
franchises from several of the
parishes along the projected line.
The company broke dirt last
week on Thursday. by inaugu-
rating grading at West Monroe,
much to the delight of the people
in that section.
At meeting of the North Lou
islana Hay Growers Association,
held in Shreveport last Saturday,
Clarence Ellerbe. assistant to the

alfalfa which the association
might desire to send to New
Orleans to acquaint the market
at that place with the product.

strenuous pursuits of every day
life, have sprung the national
games and pastimes of the fore
most nations of the earth in all
ages. 1t Is as natural for a peO-
pie to amuse themselves, as it is
for the individual to seek pleas
ure. The Olympian games of the
Greeks, the amphitheater of the
Romans were but expression of
the natural and irrepressible de-
sire for amusement, even as today
base ball and foot ball are the
natural pastimes of the American
people.
But it was not 50 much the in
tent of this treatise to discuss the
tendency of the people to indulge
in national sports, as that other
phase of the question, the relief,
the recreation afforded to the
individual which is as important,
heaIthful and lnvigorating for the
mind and body as food Is for the
nourishment for both.
Diversion is the natural express
sion of relaxation from the daily
cares of life. 1t Is sought alike
by all classes of society. 1t is
none the less strange that this
desire finds an outlet in the very
opposities of daily occupations.
The rich, cooped up in literally
walled cities, the interminable
piles of brick, stone and iron,
living in an atmosphere of noise,
heat, dust, In stuffy Offices, where
the golden sunbeams seldom pen
citrate, where there never come the
relieving tinge of green to vary the
monotony of their surroundings,
revel in the enjoyment of rural
scenes, the fresh invigoratlng
atmosphere. the songs of birds.
the varied tinge of green of tree
and shrub, and the beauty, fresh
ness and glory of flowers. 1t Is
an enjoyable experience and an
inspiration to mind and heart.
Per contra, the man who lives
amid the beauties and inspirations
of his rural surroundings, while
he acknowledges the uplifting
influences of his environments,
finds enjoyment in visit to the
city and the novelty of its multi.
form evidences of the hurry and
worry of human activities.
To each it is novelty, change,
amusement, recreation. and fresh
experiences. So it has come to
pass that variety is amusement
and becomes the satisfier of the
inevitable longing for change,
diversion and recreation.
After all, amusement is the foe
tn vice and the individual or the
people who seek this species of
surcease from the cares and bur
dens of life, are apt to become
more virtuOus, more vigorous.
more elevated, and better and
more patriotic citizens. 1t is the
safety valve to allow the escape
of the accumulation of too much
steam.

THE RECENT STORM
VERY DISASTROUS
Its Path Marked by Death, Ruin
and Desolation in States
1t Passed Through.

The storm of last Friday MORN
ing. shortly after midnight, seems
to have been particularly severe
in several sections of Northeast
and Central Louisiana. At this
point-is was accompanied with
excessive and vivid lightning,
heavy thunder and wind of more
than ordinary violence and a
perfect deluge of rain. Fortu-
nately no damage was occasioned
here.
At Award on the fremont and
Gulf railroad'it was more or less
disastrous and did considerable
damage. 1t Frustrated the walls
of 4 brick building in course of
construction; blew the public
school house off of its blocks and
twisted it until it was virtually
wreck: wrenched the business
building of Ewing, Hearn & Co.
until it broke the front plate
glass windows; blew down the
electric wires of the Marshall
Lumber Co.. all over the plant
and Frustrated trees i'm every
direction. 1t was accompanied
with tleluge of rain that caused
the creeks to overflow and filled
the lowlands with water.
In Monroe. Shreveport and
other cities and towns the veloc-
ity of the wind created more or
less havoc, particularly To shade
treas. AT points in Rapi,ies 1t
was very disastrous. killing several
persons and wrecking buildings.
In COncorlia and Tangipahoa
parishes it swept path of ruin,
desOlation and destruction that
was appalling, leaving death aud
tlesolation in its wake. IL vIr-
TALLY wiped out the beautiful
town of Amite City and swept
the town of Richland.
This storm seems to have been
widespread in its area from
Shreveport and Monroe along the
central and eastern limits of
Louisiana.
Crossing the Mississippi river
into Mississippi, it wiped out the
town of .Purvis, wrecking other
towns in its path. 1t also swept
across Alabama carrying ruin and
desolation in its giant wrath. 1t
is variously estimated that the
terrible havoc wrought to human
lite embraced over five hundred
persons killed and several hun
dred wounded, while the destruc-
ton to property amounted to
millions of dollars.
Rarely In the history of storm
centers in this state has it en-
braced such a wide scope, or the
atmosphere developed into such
a series of tornadoes scattered
through the length of the State
that have wrought such terrible
havoc to human life and property.
