TENDER 1900, block on Front street
was burned. This fire broke out in the
livery stable of Hayes & Prothro about

taurant next to the brick store occupied
by S, P. Stone, the office building and
cabin of DR.. Edgerton in the rear of
Dr. Boylston's building, and the Eva
Binghams, were burned It was only
by the most heroic and persistent eff
fort that the fire was confined to this
narrow limit. and to the favorable wind.
All the nearby buildings were badly
scorched and the whole end of the
Stephens warehouse was almost literally
burned up, yet the building was saved
No one had insurance except Mr.. Har
v;il. who had only $500 on his interest
in the livery stable building recently
bought by him from Mr. Frazier The
losses are estimated roughly as follows:
DIR. Boylston $1,000. Clyde CockerIlan
$50, he saved part of his stock; DR..
Edgerton 5000; Eva Bingham $1,000;
Mrs Stephens, who owned half inter-
est in the livery stable building, $500;
Mr. Harvill 5000; Hays & Prothro,

WILL THE SOUTH EVER RE
TURN TO GREAT POWER?"


In the Atlanta Georgian of recent
date and reproduced in the Shreveport
Journal is discussed will the South
Ever Return to Great Power" as sug-
gested in a magazine by William Gar
rat Brown, professor in a college at
the North. - "The South in National
Politics.
The answer from the Caucasian's
view is that the South will, in time, re-
sumo its influence and its power in the
National government.
The gist Of the contention is that the
South, to obtain this power, must be re
leased from what the North ascribes as
the solidarity of the South, or in
palmer and more direct expression a
division of the South politically, when
Republicans can boast of the Southern
States being aligned with the Republi-
can States of the North
II may not be possible for the South
to attain this power, as long as some
of its representatives in Congress, So
called Democrats, cooperate with and
vote with Republicans, but there must
follow a readiustment of present con-
ditions and then, whether it be under
the banner of Democracy or some other
name, the South will occupy that posi-
tion that viii not only command respect
and recognition but power in the gov
ernment of the United States to which
II is entitled.
If the South has been solid in the past
and is solid today, such solidarity" has
been and is being dictated by the spirit
of eeif-preservatior, in the resistance of
the radicalism of the dominant party.
Had It not been for the solidarity
eff the South, in maintaining its self.
respect and in cherishing principles and
memories which must ever be treasured
with sacredness, the South today would
be in the pitiable condition of countries
where the poems are permitted TO exist,
as It were. by sufferance.
The South is growing in national
power, by its adherence to principles
which are Swallowed and minimized by
the size of the dollar.
In few years when the South's
wealth shalf have been doubled and
trebled when its lands now uncultivat-
cd shall TEEN with industrious farmers;
when it shall be equal to, if it shall not
excel the Moth, in manufactures and
diversified products; then, through the
influence of wealth it shall reach the.
power which shall command respect,
and with representatives in Congress
who shalt be faithful to their trust, the
great power Of the South shall then be
felt and exercised for the good of the
whole people. as it was during the FEARS
preceding the war and before the rule
of spoliation BY the Republican party.

PANAMA EXPOSITION
A Political Move-Action not Deemed
Very Important-The Raising of Sew
en- and a Half Million Dollars.

The Times Democrats Baton Rouge
special says: 1t can not be said truth
fully that Governor Sanders. Speaker
Dupre and Senator Noegtle, the three
men here who took prominent part in
the descent upon Washington three
weeks ago. are pleased with the action
Of the House committee on foreign af-
fairs
1T is a political move to help the
California congressman said Governor
Sanders Il don't want to discuss the
matter in the absence of full informa-
ton on the subject, but do not regard
the action as at all important. because
Congress will not dispose of the sub
iect at this session
Speaker Dupre was inclined to take a
pessimistic view, not because it closes
the case for New Orleans. but because
it seems to put San Francisco on an
equality with New Orleans, when ev-
erybody who knows conditions i'll Cali
forna knows that julius Kahn, the San
Francisco member pleaded with his
fellow representatives to do something
to save his political life. An insurgent
representative is claiming the nomina-
ton on the ground that Kahn has done
nothing which, in view of the fact that
Kahn is staud-pat congressman, comes
so near being exact truth that it hurts,
and hurts a whole lot.
As to the raising of the amount of
s., 100000, the impression here is that
New Orleans can, by extending itself 4
little. meet the requirement if Congress
is really in earnest about the matter.
Here, however. is the cold fact The
committee on foreign affairs has moth
ing whatever to do with the main qucs
ton, whether there shall be a govern
ment-aided exposition, and. in the sec
und place. there will be no invitations
Unless Congress decided to lend it aid
to an exposition that will celebrate the
completion of a government work. Any
OIlleT CDIllIlltttC III 1OilSl GSS, lldNlliS Io
direct jurisdiction over a subject, could
act upon a bill or resolution referred to
it that had collateral bearing on the
main question. There has been no OBJ
lection on the part of anybody to the
jurisdiction assumed by the foreign at
fairs committee for the reason that that
body has not undertaken to have tbeI
House act upon anything.
Until it does make an attempt of that
kind. nobody can raise the question of
jurisdiction But should that commit
tee undertake to bring the Estopinal
and Kahn resolutions before the House
for action, Chairman Rodenberg of the
committee on industrial arts and ex-
positions, who favors New Orleans,
would raise the question, and then there
would be an issue joined that would be
worth while. For the purpose of help
ing Julius Kahn out of political hole
the action taken by the foreign affairs
committee is ali right, but as to the
big question, it is about as effective as
a declaration by John Smith that he
favors holding the exposition in 1914.
