Dragging.

Dragging is such an easy habit to
fall into that nearly every little de-
light opens the way, and 1t requires
q very strong character, to reist the
tns linatlon. 1t may be classed as a
disecurtesy, and what makes 1t so
is not the theme so much as the waste
OF time required to indulge it. There
Is another objection, and that is, 1t
encourages the use OF many superla-
tives, which is never In good form.
because they are mostly used to fill up
empty minds.
Still another problem, which is
that Dragging Is placing a discount

Four Killed at Leuders.
HOLD TWO FOR MURDER.
Father of Alleged Betrayed Girl the
Victim.

Rockport, Ky.-Charged with the
murder of the father of the girl he
is alleged to have betrayed, Clay
Smith, aged twenty-five years, mar
ried, is held in the Muhlenburg pail,
guarded by score of officers, as citi-
zens have, declared that he must be
lynched. In an adjoining cell, named
as an accessory to the murder, Is
Bessie Kfmble, aged fifteen years,
whom Smith is said to have ill
treated. On the night of May 16,
M. J. Kimble was shot when in his
bed. Later his daughter, Bessie,
was seen to throw several packages
into a pond. Officers recovered the
packages and say they contain let
ters demonstrating Smiths guilt.
The letters had been written by
Smith, it is said, and told of the in
timacy between Smith and the girl,
of her condition and of his demand
that she kill her father, as the lat
ter would kill him when he learned
the truth. The girl lacked the nerve
the police say, and Smith wrote, it
is charged, that he would kill the
father himself. Smiths wife is the
girls sister.

ASSESSOR EXPLAINS.
Cause of $4,000, 900 Decrease in Cal.
Casieu Parish.

AS the reduction of S6,000,0o0 in
the assessment of Calcasieu parish
this year under that of last year is
not understood clearly on the face
of the new tax rolls by many who
are not familiar with the conditions,
Assessor Charles M. Richard makes
the following explanation, showing
that in reality, the assessments of
Calcasieu parish as a whole have
been raised:
The decrease in the assessment
'is only IN appxTsnt dsIS. As D mattsiI
OF fact, there is an increase instead
OF a. decrease, the valuations Of rail-
roads, express companies, telegraph
and telephone lines as fixed by the
State Board of Appraisers, amount
ing to .$1,000.O0o more than in
1908.
Last year. the State Board of
Equalization ordered the sulphur
mine property assessed at approxi-
mately s10,000,000. BY the compro-
mise arrived at later, the valuation
was fixed at about s4,000,OO0, which
makes up of itself the difference be-
tween the parish assessments of 1908
and 1909.
There is also decrease in the
values of Glass A and Glass B pine
lands, approximately 10000 acres
being cut out during the year, re-
S12 to to SIT per acre to 81 an acre.
Cut-over lands are also reduced this
year from So per acre to 81 per
acre."

New Industry For Baton Rouge.

Interest in Baton Rouge as place
for investment is demonstrated by
the large number of persons from
points in and outside Of the State
who are in the city for the purpose
of making investments in real estate
and locating enterprises of different
sorts here. 1t Is ascertained on the
statement Of q reliable real estate
man that there are now two big
deals on, one of which will prove
equal to if not more farreaching
than the one recently made in the To-
cation of the plant of the Standard
OIL Company Of Louisiana. Real es-
tate in and around the city is in
great demand and commands a high
price as a result of this demand.
