NOT PROVEN
Are the Charges Against Supt. Wasson
of the Good Roads Camp.

There was held yesterday afternoon
an investigation of the charges against
Charles c. Wasson, superintendent OF
the good roads convict camp. The chief
complainant, a former guard named
Harrison, did not appear.
The investigation was conducted by
Jurors Douglas, Poleman and Sebas-
tian. President Crawford and Jurors
Wynn, Miller and Nagle were present.
1t was disproved that Ben Lee and
Jim Brinkley had come to town to see
the girls when they pleased or had
been given any special privileges, not
accorded other prisoners. In brief, all
that was alleged against Wasson was
not sustained.
1t was shown that the mules are in
good condition but that these and the
men were not worked enough each day.
The inference is that the men have
been having an easy time. 1t was
shown that the general conditions OF
the camp are good Ben Lee and Doc
Scissor are TRUSTEES.
There was no explanation of the es-
cape of Schulsinger and Bergman, who
had for a guard man with one eye.
Who is to be held responsible for the
escape of these two men?

RAISING HOGS
The Experience of a DeSoto Farmer,
Mr.. M. M. Bowling.

Mansfield Enterprise: Mr.. M. M.
Bowling of Gloster was in our town a
few days since, and he informs US that
he is ready to ship another carload of
hogs within a short time. He finds it
to his advantage to ship all the larger
hogs to the packing house at Fort
Worth, and all those of lighter weight
to New Orleans, where they are sold to
the butchers. AS an instance of the
profit in fattening hogs on peanuts, he
tells us that recently he purchased lot
of hogs for which he paid $Ioo, and af-
ter letting them feed in the peanut field
for 70 days, he sold them at a profit of
over 100 per cent. A combination of
peanuts and hogs are equal to a gold
mine in this country, and it would be
we'll if more of our people would go
into the experiment extensively.

NORTHERN NEGROES
Will Be Appointed to Office by Presi
dent Taft in Northern States.

A special to the States dated Wash
ington, Dec. 8, says: That President
Taft is going to make appointments of
Northern negroes to Office rather than
Southern ones is the information which
has been pretty thoroughly disseminat-
ed among the colored politicians of
Washington and elsewhere. The Presi-
dent has talked over his ideas about the
appointment of colored men to office
with some of the leading men of the
race and he has signifed his inclination
to give recognition to the negro voters
in Northern States where there are
arge populations of blacks. AS the re-
suit of this policy, it is expected that
The negroes in the South who are
holding important offices will, as their
terms expire, be displaced for the most
part by whites and in turn recognition
will be given to colored men in the
North. In the entire South there are
not many offices held by colored mer-

A PLEA FOR COTTON
An Audience of Southern Men with
Secretary of War Dickinson.

Washington, Dec 8.-An appeal is to
be made Friday to the patriotism and
national pride of Secretary of War
Dickinson, a Tennesseean, in behalf Of
American cotton. R. D. Bowen of Par
is, Texas, and the representatives of
the cotton mills in South Carolina and
Georgia are to appear before the head
of the War Department to urge him to
use cotton for bagging and other tex
tiles used in the army.
AT present nearly all the stuff used
by the quartermaster general, aside
from the woolens, is jute and every
thread of it imported. Efforts to grow
lutte in this country have not been en-
couraged, and the tariff law favors i'm
porters of it.
The cotton growers and spinners for
wears have been insisting that cottor
can be used wherever jute has been EN-
ployed, with as good, and in many in
stances far better results. Quartermas
tiers have combated that, but generally
they have simply refused to consider
any change whatever.
| On Friday the cotton men are to ap
pear before the secretary with demon
strations of the superiority of cotton il
nearly every line of goods in whicl
lutte is now employed. The cotton me1
ask for nothing but an honest oppor
tunity to prove the soundness of thei
assertions. They know they can do it
The demand that cotton be substitutes
for jute was made one of the chic
planks Of the Farmers Union mum

THE AGE OF EGGS.

In answer to a correspondent, the
2etaluma Poultry Journal says: "The
ge of an egg can be determined by the
size of its air space, which can easily
5e- seen through the shell by exposing
he egg to the light in a dark room.
In a newly laid egg the air space is
very small, but as the egg gets older
,he air space enlarges. Thus, at three
weeks old it will occupy one=eighth of
he contents of the egg. This process
# testing is adopted by many of the
arge dairies and egg houses of the
and thus being able to insure none but
fresh eggs to customers. 1t is useful
also in artificial incubation or in setting
ems, as the fresh eggs can thus be de-
ected from the staler ones.

AGAINST CLENGMAN
Suit of Importance Involving a Bonus
to a Railroad

Several months since, as test case,
w. K. Henderson, president of the w.
K. Henderson Iron Works and Supply
Company, brought suit to recover $56.87
paid as a portion of tax voted in aid
of the construction of what is generally
known as the C1ingman railway.
The company, the Shreveport and
Northeastern, operating in this pro-
posed construction, failed to fulfill its
contract.
The bonus voted was for $4,000.
In this suit the City of Shreveport
became a defendant.
The railway interests conteste4 sie
orous1y this suit of Mr.. Hendersoa.
In an oral opinion rendered by Judge
Bell at the sitting of the court yest@-
day, judgment is in favor of Mr.. Hen
derSon.
In this contention the company's
claim is discredited, but it may appeal
to the Supreme Court, where it can ex-
pect little if any relief.
The whole gist of the case was
whether or not the company had COM
piled with its contract, and having
failed ii has forfeited its claim to the
tax voted.
At the time this company became in
yolved in the suit on the complaint of
Mr.. Henderson, there was assigned by
taxpayers about $4,000 of the tax col
lected to the State Fair Association.
The city is the custodian of this tax,
which will be paid over to the State
Fair Association when the litigation is
ended.
