Work on Hardwood Mill Progressing

Work on Hardwood Mill Progressing
Construction work on the plant
of the Colfax Hardwood Lumber
Company is now under full head.
way. AS announced in the Chron.
icle of last week, Messrs. A. Sher.
rill and II. V. Sheriff., of Paducah,
Kentucky, are here, and under
their direction things are begin
ming to hum in the way of build
ing operations. These gentlemen
are brothers and are stockholders
in the company, the first being
manager and the second assistant,
and one or both of them expect to
be here all the time. Their mill
man is Joseph Crane, while Mr..
E. l.. Morgan is to have charge of
the stave plant.
A switch just north of the Big
Pine plant has been run from the
railroad into the grounds of the
Colfax Hardwood Lumber Co., on
which were shunted five fiat cars
and one box car, loaded with mill
machinery, etc. The unloading of
these cars was finished last Satur-
day evening, and couple of tenn
porary shacks, one for Office and
one for blacksmith work, were al
so being completed last Saturday.
w. G. Briant, construction fore
man, arrived the first of this week
with a force of ten men, and we
understand that he is to have
everything ready to commence
operations in about sixty days.
Other, persons employed about the
mill are J. w. O'Quinn, the well
known machinest, and carpenter
Pat Clark and number of color
ed laborers.
The stave plant and factory for
dry barrels, under the manage
ment of Mr.. E. L. Morgan, will
be separate from the hardwood
mill, and will be located north of
the mill distance of 200 or 30OI
feet.

One Man Should Not Control Jury.
Tn N 1ok, k..ol H., s,..,, -, Ch.oo

One Man Should Not Control Jury
In late trial by jury in Chica.
go, one man, Charles Spare, held
out for acquittal lis hours al
days. against the balance of the
Jury, who were for the conviction
of Lee O'Neil Brown, for bribery.
The case resulted in a mistrial,
and has caused widespread criti-
cism of our present jury system.
There is no good reason why
one man should be allowed to con-
troll body of IL men in the rend-
ering of a verdict. The contention
is made in some quarters that two
thirds of jury should be suffici-
ent to render verdict. This may
be little too free to the State in
its prosecutions, but there is no
doubt that the jury law could be
changed with beneficial results.
1t certainly would serve all the
ends of justice If a mistrial were
only allowed where as many as
three of the jurors hold out for ac-
quittal. The jury should be al
lowed to return a verdict where
ten or eleven of the jurors agree to
a finding.
LIE ten or eleven men on a jury
of twelve agree upon a verdict it
should stand, and the opposition
of one or two men should not be
allowed to thwart the administra-
ton of Justice, as is now frequent
ly the case. The failure of agree
ment on the part of one or two of
the jurors might be taken into con-
sideration by the judge in the i'm
position of sentence, but it should
not nullify any verdict. The Sc
verify of the sentence might be
mitigated say one-fourth where
one man is for acquittal, or the
punishment might be reduced one
half where two men contend for
acquittal of the accused.
This question of failure in the
administration of justice because
of the crankiness or corruption of
a single individual on a jury is
constantly recurring, and some eff
fective means to prevent it should
be adopted if the laws of the land
are to be enforced.

Big Blowout at the Gas Well.

There was considerable scurrying
among the stockholders and Others
interested in the Colfax Gas Well Co.
last Monday, when it became noised
around that they had developed a
big blowout of gas at their well,
being bored in the eastern limits OF
the town. An investigation proved
that the report was correct.
At depth of 1850 feet they have
encountered a flow of gas of about
150 pounds pressure. The flow WAS
SD strong that it forced back the
steam pressure of 100 pounds that
was forcing the water to the drill
point. The steam was turned on un-
Til the gauge ran mp to 160 pounds
before the pressure of the gas was
overcome. The drillers projected
with the gas for an hour or two for
edification of curious onlookers, but
AFTER d consultation with Mr.. Oscar
Shanks, who is boring the well, it
was decided to ease off the gas and
bore on down deeper.
The Stockholders are in great glee
over their gas find, and they jocular-
ly assert that Mr. Shanks has been
instructed to bore down deeper and
see where that gas comes from.
They are very serious in the belief
that they can find oil at the bottom
of their well. At any rate. they he
lieve it so strongly that they pro-
pose to blow substantial amount
of cash into that hole until they find
out something about it.

ed to create. This view of the case
is held by many eminent lawyers to
be strictly in accordance with the
law. This feature of the case is a
regular bombshell in the camp of a
score of Legislators, who are reputed
to be candidates for some of the
offices IN which they boosted the sal
aries to a higher notch.

Proposed Lines of Good Roads.

The lines of proposed good roads
outlined by the Grant parish polio,
jury, as published in their proceed
nngs, are rs follows:
COlfax to Pollock.
CoIfax to Rochelle, via Fairfield.
Fairfield to Montgomery. around
head of Iatt lake, to Verda, Kadest
or Camp ground.
montgomery down railroad to op-
posite Boyce.
Fairmount to Claiborne road.
Pollock to Rapides parish line.
Pollock to Georgetown.
Pollock to Fishvile and Thomp-
sous Ferry.
verda and Fairfield road from
Buck Lasyone's to Coliax.
Aloha up railroad to Verda.
Fairfield to Dry Prong.
Dry Prong to Lincecum Oh Fish
creek road.
The entire mileage of the system OF
good roads proposed is between 1876
aud 100 miles. A study of the par
ish map shows that this system will
give connection between every COM
munity in the parish. 1t is admir-
able in Its scope, and covers the par
ish about as well as can be outlined.
The prospect is that our parish good
roads fund will be sufficient to build
two-tbirds Of the system proposed,
and il this is supplemented by State
funds. N we have every reason to
expect, the entire system ought to
be completed in the next two or
three years.
