Moving Star in Southern Hea.
vens Cuts Curious Capers.

Grand Cane, La, Jan. 30. - A
curious star that has just appear.
ed is attracting much notice in this
town and vicinity. 1t is a woude,
to many and a terror to tho super.
stltIous negroes and some Cauca.
SLAMS. just after dark it can be
seen in the south, aud before one
has observed it many minutes il
moves about and stands still and
moves again over a small space.
AT times it seems to be falling,
then rising aud 80 on. Last night
Is the first time it has attracted
marked attention, although some
claim that it was visible the night
before as we'll. The first night il
was taken by the ones who saw it
to be a toy balloon sent up in the
southern suburbs by small boys.
but closer investigation disclos-
ed the fact that it was not a bal.
loon at all, but a moving star. The
secoud night many we're curious
about the report that had come to
them from the previous nights ex-
periencs of their neighbors, SO they
watched from early dark until
midnight and still the star kept up
it's antics aud all the while the
wonder grew as to the sudden ap-
pearance of the heavenly pheno-
menon. The light it gives is
brighter than that from ordinary
stare and is much redder. 1t is
very large and wrinkles different
from many of the stars. At this
time the whole town and commu.
nifty arc watching it every night.

CORN AND HOGS.
N. o. Daily Item,

1
The rapid strides that have been
made in Louisiana in the hog in.
dustry seem to point to the fact
that 1911 will be the greatest in the
hog history of the state The year
1910 was the greatest in its histo-
ry for corn production, and more
corn always mean more hogs. as
we'll rs a general increase in live
stock raising and fattening.
Until very recent years. the rails
ing Of hogs played very little part
in our agricultural history. but
lately this order of things has
changed and tho farmers aud the
business men, who stand behind
the men of the soil with their aid
aud their counsel, are realizing
more aud more that the raising of
hog means a great saving of mo-
uey formerly spent to buy meat
for the farmers family aud feed
for the farmers stock.
Corn production in Louisiana
increased enormously in a single
year, and this year the indications
are that 1t will increase at an even
greater rate. Where one man had
corn to sell last year ten will have
it to dispose of during the coming
season, and as consequence our
farmers will have moro to their
credit when the year is over and
they come 10 cast up their &C.
counts. There are hundreds of
families in the state that will have,
besides, meat enough for their
home consumption who IN years
gone by had to buy feed for the
work horses aud mules to raise the
cotton that all went to the broker
and the mmissiOn man for mo-
ney advanced to buy that corn aud
other uecesssries.
The farmer has a double advan.
tage in the raising of corn. If the
market for the product docs not
suit him he can turn the corn into
hogs and get more out of it, aud
knowing that be will venture to
raise hogs and by experience will
lesrn that he can fnd even a cheap
or food for the porkers than corn
by looking a little in advance. 1t
is a great step ahead in our agri-
cultural progress.

Responsible Politics.
N. o. Daily Item.

N. o. Daily Item.
In au editorial on another SUBJ
ject in The New York World &C.
ours this striking paragraph A.:
underlying all commerce is
good faith. Business is conducted
on credit. For slips of paper ill.,
trinsicslly valueless, property
worth millions is daily disposed
OF. Promises are rated as high in
the market as any commodity, aud
a name or a word with character
behind it often makes lands, pa
laces and goods look cheap by
comparison.
"No good reason can be given
why politics in a free country
should no, be as responsible as bu-
siness. Deceit aud treacbery, even
brigandage, sometimes appear in
commercial life, but the men gull
ty of them do not prosper. The
whole world of finance and credit
is arrayed against them. That
falsehood aud betrayal should 20
frequently characterize political
life proves that it's standards are
lower and that men acting in one
capacity are less trustworthy than
when they are acting in another"
In these few words the writer
states the fundamental need of pc.
litics in America to-day. There
never was a time when honesty was
more valuable than it is to-day. A
sad succession of events has made
US appreciate it as the most desir-
able quality of public servants
Moreover, no man can be truly
honest without being conscienti.
Gus, and conscientious man must
necessarily give businesslike SER
vice. The sooner the people make
this the essential quality, which
they demand of their officials the
better it will be for the country.

BROWNELL HAS
 NARROW ESCAPE

Mir Brownell. the ex-water man, had narrow escape yesterday afternoon from being killed at the bottom of a shaft of the Roxie claim now being opened up under the direction of Mir Brown of the Schneider house.
 About three o'clock yesterday af- ternoon pr. J. NJ. sloan received a hurry up call to come to the Roxie fraction to attend miner who had fallen a distance of sixty feet to the bottom of the shaft. Securing the as- sistance of William Marks. who works at the l.. s. Mercantile, who took him out in his dog team in few moments he found Mir Brownell much shaken up for having fallen a distance of some sixty feet to the bottom of the shaft while being hoisted to the surface.
 After a hurried examination in which no serious results from the fall was noticeable. he secured one of W. J. Rowe's teams which was hauling freight to a neighboring claim to bring the injured man to town where he could be under his care.
 At the bottom of the shaft there was stump hole filled with water and to this Brownell owes his life. according to the doctor who reported the ac- count of the accident upon his return late yesterday afternoon.
 The accident occurred while MT Brownell was being hoisted to the surface after finishing the work be- low, and the sling which had been in use all last summer and during tho past several days since the men have been working gave away precipitatins the miner to the bottom.
 Dr. J. NJ. Sloan when seen this af- ternoon stated that his patient was little the worse for his narrow escape outside of receiving a severe shaking up, and he expected to have BrowneI back working on the claim in week
