PARISH SCHOOLS TO CLOSE ON MAY q
Several Schools Qualified for Htsh
Schools and Several Others
Ready to Do So.

Lake Charles, La. April, 2O.-On
May Il the parish schools in general,
: Will close after one of the most snc4
cessful sessions ever held, both from
the standpoint of attendan and from
interest taken and work accomplished.
Many new schools were opened and a
great number of school buildings
erected. There are now four high
schools in the parish, outside of the
city, and three more schools will
qualify next year, making total for
the parish, OF eight high schools.
Figures given by the parish assessor
IN 1907 placed the number of children
OF educable age throughout the parish
az ll,oS2. Figures for the year end.
Ing December, 1908, place the number
OF children actually attending school,
at ll,377. OF these 1894 were white
and 1883 were colored. Of the nun.
Der also the city schools claimed 2, O2l,
OF whom l,5l0 were white and 5ll col. |
ored. Figuring that there is one
Child in the city schools for every |
eight people in the town, and as the
average for the parish is lower than
that, the total number enrolled, H.. |
377, would represent population of
10000 people in the parish at the
present time.
For the year ending December 1908,
there were 1913 schools in the parish
and 2lO teachers. At present, there
are about ITO schools and 22O teachers,
Among the schools opened were the
following: At Longville with two
teachers, as the result of the opening
OF the big Long Bell mill there. At
Fulton, with two teachers and at
Ward and Elizabeth following the
completion of the Colorado Southern,
and at many more places. The new
manufacturing plants and railroads
are responsible for the large increase
in the enrolment. Calcasieu parish
is second TO none in the number and
efficiency OF her schools, but to stop
is to retrogress, and the schools are
steadily progressing, without a stop,

THE CASE OF JUDGE HINES.
macon Evening News.)

Macon Evening NeWs.)
In the art of making explanations
that do not explain Mr.. S. G. McLen-
| don appears to have a close match in
Judge James X. Hines, the special at
torney of the railroad commission
After waiting for a week or more to
recover his wind on the statement OF
President Daley, of the Wrightsville
and Tennille railroad, that he Judge
Hines) had offered to sell the
Wrightsville and Tennille bonds for
fee of $1,000, Judge Hines gravely
took the stand, denied the allegation
and warbled like this:
Il think you misunderstood Judge
Daley. l don't think he said that. AT
any rate, 1 want to say this; Any
statement or charge that l undertook
selling the Wrightsville and Tennille
bonds for fee of $1,000, or any 9TH
er sum, is absolutely false"
The he gave his version of what
occurred as follows:
when in Dublin, in July, l asked
Judge Daley if he had succeeded in
selling the rightsville and Tennille
bonds. He said he had sold 100000
of them to Major Hanson | asked
him if he wanted to sell the rest of
them for anything less than par. He
said he would not. l then asked him
if he would pay brokers' commits
sion if they could be sold. He asked
me how much it would be. l told him
| didn't know, and asked him if he
would be willing to pay $1,000 to a
broker or other person for placing
them at par. He said he was not
authorized to do so. | then told him
if he would put in writing what he
would be willing to do in that connec-
ton, would endeavor to find mar
ket for the bonds. | did this because
had been interested in the Wrights-
vile and Tennille road from it's be-
ginning;I had helped to build it, and
wanted to see it succeed. I had no
idea of ever making a dollar out of
it. l thought | might get a man in
New York to sell them and wanted to
know what Judge Daley would pay"
1t would be difficult for the uninit-
lated mind to find any difference be-
tween President Daleys statement
and that of Judge Hines, except in the
matter of circumlocution with which
the latter involves a simple PROPOSE
ton.
1t is to be said for Judge Hines that
in so far as has been shown there is
no express law prohibiting him as at
torney of the railroad commission
dealing in railroad bonds, but he had
advised McLendon it was against the
policy of the state for commissioners
to do so, and as the legal adviser of
the commissioners he was necessarily
to some extent in the same boat Tt
was improper business for him to
have engaged in and his labored eff
fort to disguise his evident purpose
shows that he knew or felt that it
was Improper

Moss, of Cobb wants the State to
cease publishing colonial, revolution
airy and Confederate records. 1t is
to be hoped the bill will not pass.
Georgia has lost valuable historical
records by its failure to publish them.
Why take the danger of cutting itself
off from other valuable records here
after through a similar indifference
to its history. A people who are proud
of their history ought to be willing to
expend little money to put it in i'm
