Another Opinion.

Nothing that has happened in base
ball in recent years will prove as let-
rimental to the reputation Of the sport
as the hippodroming at Sc. Louis yes
terday. Lajoie has won the automo-
bile. but the methods employed to &C
complish this will be called to his at
tention every time he appears before
the public in the future. There Is per-
haps no doubt that Cobb after gaining
his average OF 1888 stayed out Of the
last few games, believing that his
mark could not be overcome. There
was not display of true sportsman
ship In this action either, and yet II
was honest compared to the scheme
to which Lajoie was a party. ED.

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1910-07-02

The Chronicle this week is pleased
to refer its readers to the charter OF
the Colfax Hardwood Company,
which will be found in our advertis-
ing columns.
The building of the hardwood mill
at Colfax has been among the pro-
jects discussed for the town for the
past year, and it has been so long
materializing that many had begun
to lose faith in the proposition. 1t
cannot be expected, however, that
men who put their money into these
sort of enterprises will do so until
they are satisfied with all the condi-
tions, and nobody has any right to
complain at them for taking time to
make necessary Investigations and
secure ga satisfactory concessions.
These matters we are pleased tolearn
are now all definitely arranged, and
the work of erecting the mill is to
begin very soon.
The delay has detracted nothing
from the enterprise at first contem-
plated, but to the contrary has ad-
ded to it's efficiency and scope. We
are informed that the power of the
machinery as at first proposed has
been increased, and that in addition
to saving hardwood lumber, the
mill will also saw barrel slaves and
manufacture dry barrels. In fact,
from it's charter it will he seen the
company is in line to engage in al.
most anything it chooses, from man
ufacturing barrel slaves to building,
equipping and operating railroad
and steamboat lines, or leasing, i'm
proving and cultivating farms and
farm lands. The capital stock of the
company is fixed at $4,000, with
the right to become a going concern
when hall of that amount is paid in
Under the provisions of it's charter
the company can increase it's stock
whenever necessary.

Want Jackasses to Roam at Large.

Representative Y. l.. Fontenot,
of st. Landry, had a bill before the
Legislature to prevent stations and
jacks from roaming at large. and it
was killed by vote of "a to 40.
We have an interest in Mr.. Fontenot
up here in Grant parish, because he
was the principal of one of our high
schools at Pollock for couple of
years, and we feel some resentment
that his bill should have been thus
ruthlessly slaughtered. We do not
know the exact letter and provisions
of Mr.. Fontenot's bill, but think he
must have made some great mistake
by failing to provide definitely in the
bill that it should apply only to
jachasses of the four-legged variety.
1t may have been that if the legisla-
tive solOns were convinced the bill
would not restrict the freedom OF
animals of the two-legged variety it
would have met with more favor.

United States Senator Samuel
Douglas McEnery died at his home
in the city of New Orleans at ten
o'clock on the morning of Tuesday,
June 2Sth. He arrived home from
Washington on the morning of the
day before, and complained OF feel
ing i'll, but it was regarded as only q
mild attack of Indigestion until that
night, when he suddenly took turn
for the worse and then sank rapidly.
Senator McEnery was in his seven
ty-fourth year of age, his health has
not been good for several years. The
attack of Indigestion weakened his
condition, and under the strain which
attended his illness his heart action
failed. Death came at 9:45 Il. m.
At the bedside at the time were his
wife. who before their marriage was
Miss Elizabeth Philips, of Monroe,
La; bis daughter, Mrs. Warren b.
Parks, and one son, Charles p. Nc
Emery.
Senator McEnery's death came as
Il severe shock to the community,
which was unaware of the serious
ness of his illness.
The funeral took place at 1890
Thursday morning, interment at
New Orleans.
The fact that the death occurred
during the session of the Legislature
makes it necessary for that body to
choose successor or let the State
90 unrepresented for the next two
years. The Governor will be with
out authority to make an appoint
ment during the two years recess.
Senator McEnery's term would have
expired on March 3, 1915. His sue
cessor for the full time will be nomi-
mated in the State primary in 1912
and elected in the Legislature of that
year.
Gov. j. Y. Sanders is recognized as
the logical successor to the Senator
ship, and it is announced that it has
been definitely settled that he will be
elected next Tuesday virtually by
unanimous vote OF the Legislature.
The Governor will not resign his
present office until next December,
at which time the next session of
Congress will convene.
The removal of Gov. Sanders from
the field of State politics opens up
the question as to his successor. and
on it hinges probably u dozen other
offices. The consequence is that the
air is rife with rumors of prospective
candidates and political cOmbina-
tiOns of all sorts.

Decrease in Assessment for 1910.

Assessor E. S. Murrell on June
Both sent in to the State Auditor his
n abstract of the assessment rolls of
Grant parish for the year 1910. The
total assessment for the year is 81
O4O,23S. This is decrease of $780,
900 from the assessment of 1909,
and the decrease is caused entirely
by the decrease in the value of de-
nuded or cut over lands. Values
along other lines about hold their
own, and in some instances have
increased.
This decrease in the assessment
amounts to "a little less than TX per
cent, and will affect the revenues OF
the parish very little. The serious
side of the matter is the fact that
the acreage of denuded lands in
creases each year, and this decrease
i'm the value of timber lands is sure
to occur for several years to come.
The increase in other values, and the
value of railroad property that will
be added to the tax rolls in a year or
two by expiration of the time of the
railroads ten years exemption from
taxes, may possibly keep the reve-
nues of the parish at about present
figures. No rapid increase such as
we have had for some time can be
expected for several years to come,
unless We havea phenomenal increase
from immigration, which seems to
be among the probabilities at pres
emit. Taken all together, we regard
the financial outlook for Grant par
ish as not likely to be greatly chang
ed or disturbed by any contingency
that may arise for some time.

Candidate for Board of Equalizers.

Mr.. e. W. Payne, Representative
of Grant parish, has been home this
week, on u leave of absence from the
Legislature on account of his invalid
wife. He came down from Montgon-
cry to Colfax last Monday evening,
and remained over to look after bust
ness matters on Tuesday, returning
home by the noon local. He inform
ed us that he has had number of
most flattering solicitations to run
as member of the State Board of
Equalizers. and says that if the
health of his wife will permit his alb
sencef from home, he will be in the
race.
Mr.. Payne is man in the prime
vigOr Of manhood, and enjoys the
full confidence of many friends in
this parish, who recognize his ability,
integrity and fitnessf for the Office for
which he offers, and if he announces
for the position will be pleased to
accord him most hearty support.

Escaped Prisoner Caught by Deputy
Clinton.

In our issue of last week we gave
an account of Cornelius Springs, a
white man, who made his escape
from the Colfax Jail by opening the
back door in the lower part of the
Jail by means OF "a skeleton key made
out Of a bed spring. He had been
allowed the freedom OF the Jail, and
improved his opportunity by open
ing the jul door and walking out in
to the bright moonlight in the early
hours of Thursday morning.
His freedom, however, did not last
very long, as he was captured in the
afternoon of Friday, the next day.
Deputy l.. o. Clinton received tip
that he would probably haunt a
certain locality on Cane river, and so
he went over that way with the in
tention of getting the constable to
help in the hunt for bis prisoner. As
Mr.. Clinton was jogging along the
road, however, he happened to catch
sight of his man in a negro ca bin,
and it seems the recognition of each
was mutual aud instantaneous.
Springs made spring and started
to sprint across a field of corn and
cotton. Deputy Clinton got into
that field in quick order, and started
his horse in full tilt after him, get
ting pretty close to the prisoner just
as he made a break to put fence
between himself and his pursuer.
The deputy pulled his pistol and told
him to halt or he would shoot, and
Springs not wanting to take any
such chances threw up his hands and
surrendered.
1t was lively and exciting race,
and created quite sensation among
"a number of negroes at work in the
field. 1t is said the owner of the field
is thinking of bringing suit against
our sheriff and his deputy for dam
ages to his crops. And now We hear
that Springs wants the sheriff to
turn him out of the steel cage, and
let him have the freedom of the jail
again, and he thinks he is in hard
luck because the sheriff won't do it.

Effective Anti-Typhoid Vaccine Discov.
cred by a French Scientist.

Prof. Vincent, a French scien-
fist, last week announced before
the Paris Academy of Medicine
the discovery of an effective anti
typhoid vaccine, which he prepar-
ed by sleeping typhoid bacilli in a
weak solution Of water and CON-
mon salt, with an admixture of
ether.
Prof. Vincent made a number of
experiments with animals, which,
after being vaccinated, withstood
subsequent incubation with ty-
phoid germs. He also vaccinated
thirteen persons, an examination
of whose blood after the operation
showed that it possessed to high
degree properties destructive of
the typhoid bacillus.
Further experiments demonstra-
ted the fact that typhoid bacilli,
when placed in contact with the
serum of the blood taken from the
person vaccinated lost all vitality.

Police Jury in Session.

The police jury met as Al board OF
reviewers on Thursday. June Both.
The board examined the lists as
made up by the assessor, and his
valuation was sustained and approx
ed in almost every particular.
Only two differences came up for
set tlenent. The board fixed the as
sessinent of the Colfax Cotton Oil
Go. at $4,000. The Howcott lands
we're put in class c.
On Friday the police jury met in
ocular session to consider good
roads and other matters.
Mr.. NJ. l.. Alexander, secretary of
the Alexandria Progressive League,
and Mr.. Cook, appeared before the
board and offered new road they
had cut out between the Iron Noun
tain and La. K Ark. railroads, con-
Meeting lands they are coloniZing
near Simms with settlers. They do
nate their road which is about ~
miles long, to public use, and ask
that the system of good roads built
by the parish include their road, or
that it be maintained AS public
road, with the right of consideration
and connection with the good roads
that may be built.
Mr.. Gervais Lombard, of the State
board OF civil engineers was present,
being here by request of the police
jury, to survey and make profiles oi
the good roads to he built.
At the request of the police jury
Mr.. Lombard made an interesting
statement about road building. and
gave the body some valuable infor
nation as to the different plans foi
building roads. Heexpressly empha.
sized the fact that the location of all
roads ana the expenditures TO bt
made on them was at all times under
the control of the police jury, and
snid that he was ready at this time
or any time the body may direct to
go ahead and make surveys, profiles
and estimates of such roads as may
be wanted.
A large amount of routine work il
up for consideration, which will take
pretty we'll all day Saturday to dis
pose of, and will appear in the pro
ceedings of the police jury next week
