ADVISING THE FARMER.

The farmer, unlike the men in the
professions or in pursuits mercantile, is
handed a package Of advice periodically
throughout the twelve months of the
year. Why is this So and why should
some newspapers be ever ready to adj
monish the horny-hauded as to the per-
lis which may engulf him into perdition
if he shall decline to be guided by SO
benevolent hands.
At this time the farmer is being told
not to sell his cotton, and to sell his cot
ton, to destroy and to not destroy the
cotton stalks in his fields on which it is
said millions of bugs are lurking, and
these after alternating during the Win
ter will come out starving and will eat
everything in sight The farmer is also
told that he must be independent but
there is no special programme laid out
for him.
Indeed the farmer should be indie
pendent and he is Independent when ne
has his corn crib at his door and his
meat house is within reach and with
few etceteras around and about he IS

sufficient and the good old horse sense
of living at home. Does such farmer

WHO ARE THE LAWBREAkkRS:
What is the incentive to disregard the
law of prohibition?
Who are the lawbreakers2
Are they the prohibitionists?
Are they the citizens having no direct
or indirect interest in the sale Of beer
bv the brewerics, or intoxicants?
The incentive is clearly the profit
which may be derived from the sale OF
intoxicants in the plain defiance Of law
AS the lawbreallers SOW, SO must they
reap. and they can expect little if any
sympathy after they have been caught
and are held in the tolls.
The defiance of the law by the trail
fckers in intoxicants in Shreveport IS,
as it has been and is in other communl7
ties where its sale is prohibited.
1t has been computed that the average
dealer in intoxicants can afford TO defy
the law, that is, in taking the risk Of be-
ing apprehended, held and convicted,
Whether correctly or not, it has been
computed that enough money may be
obtained through the sale of intoxlcants
to take the risk, and if caught to pay the
fine if it be within a reasonable limit.
1t has also been computed that some
men doing service on the public road:
for term of thirty or sixty days will
experience little hardship and inconven
fence. besides the restraint imposed by
imprisonment in jail or on the public
road.
In the recent round up of the mer
held for violation of the law, there wa
little effort experienced in detecting ani
in securing the evidence which It IS salt
will convict, and if it be true, it may BE-
demonstrated that after all, the law ma,
b be enforced at least some of the guilt,
may be held to account regardless of thu
all powerful influence they have IN poll
tics and in the control Of some men wht
are ever seeking prominence in politics
On the result Of the cases assigned TO
trial during the week in the Distr1c
Court may, in a sense, determine the IS
sue of the law breaking forced on
community Of citizens who stand TO

THE GOOD ROADS AGITATION.

THE GOOD ROADS AGITATION,
The subject of good roads" IS as old
as the hills and will continue to be a
question for agitation until the crack OF
doom. In their eagerness for good
roads, the enthusiasts cite Rome, not
thinking or realizing that the roads OF
the Romans were not constructed in
days or months but required years, in
volving the toll of slaves, captlves IN
war, who were compelled to do the bid
ding of their task masters with the lash,
whose ears were ever deaf to the en-
treaties Of the unfortunates.
How many lives were slaughtered in
the. construction of the model roads OF
Rome can never be known and scarcely
estimated
It is not possible to have such roads
as some people have in mind for the rea-
son that the material necessary is not at
hand and could be obtained only at
cost which would lead to bankruptcy
In the absence of this material the sane
