Use For The COckIebur.

A use has been found for the
cockleburr at last. Six months ago
T. E. Cotton, q farm Iaborer resid-
ing near Patterson. was working for
a dollar day. He is now enjoying
an income Of $40 a day. and all be-
cause he is making use Of the cockle-
burrs. gathering them up boiling
them down, and with the use of
other ingredients making a hog
cholerR cure which cures.
Some time ago his father-in law
while on his death bed at Wichita.
called Mr.. Cotton to his side. and
gave him a receipt for a hog cholera
cure.
II have tried this on hogs and
know that it will do the work." said
the dying man. IF you will make
good use Of it it will make your for
tune"
Mr.. Cotton did not think much of
it but when the hog cholera epidemic
became so prevalent in Kansas this
fall he remembered the recipe. He
first tried it on his brothers hogs
and it saved them.
To-day Mr., Cotton has a force #
men going about the country gather
ing up the cockleburrs and hauling
them in to him. His business is
growing by leaps and bounds. -

GET AFTER THE DIsTlLLERs
that Wnr Prohibition Advice o. Ono
Man, but Ne was .
Moonshlncr.

Bishop Nathaniel s. Thomas Of
Wyoming visited the state peniten-
tiary and endeavored to ascertain
what causes had led to the downfall
Of the various prisoners. Almost to
a man they told the bishop that love
Of drink had put them behind the
bars. This interested him, and he
asked each prisoner for his solution
of the liquor problem, carefully tabu-
lating the answers for future refer
ence. All but one Of the prisoners
announced themselves advocates Of
prohibition.
One man, a lean, rugged, leather
necked convict, not yet bleached by
prison life, denounced this plan when
the bishop suggested it to him.
The trouble with prohibition is it
don't prohibit" he said vigorously.
'fWhat you want to do is to close up
the distilleries-they're the boys to
90 after"
"a sensible idea, certainly" said
Bishop Thomas, making a note Of it.
'fYour plan is to stop the traffic at its
very source. Excellent. You seem
like very intelligent man. May /
ask who you are--what you are here
for?'

Hon. Jas. B. Aswell for Congress.

AAOhs $ocs ~ <AS " SAA AVA OVn8A So0e
Last week we placed the name
of Hon. j. B. Aswell among our
announcements as a candidate for
Congress in the new 9Th district,
and also printed his platform,
which is a remarkably concise
and explicit excerpt of the Demo-
cratic national platform. At
that time we said we would have
something further to say about
his candidacy.
Mr.. Aswell is so well and ia
vorably known in this district
that it requires but little to be
said in his behalf. The district,
it has been asserted, was created
for his special benefit. Be this
as it may, he is certainly occupy
ing the territory, and seems like
ly to be without serious opposi-
ton. In the late hot campaign
for governor he stood for months
in the lime-light of public criti-
cism, and came out of it unscath-
ed in character and confirmed in
the esteem of friend and foe
alike. He is an able, polished
and suave gentleman, of undoubt-
ed integrity and ability, besides
possessing charming personality
and 6ratorical powers that are
known and acknowledged by
thousands who have had the
pleasure Of hearing him. His
analysis of 1.-THE national platform
very forcefully shows his ability
to get at the marrow of a subject
in few words. Several thousand
teachers of Louisiana who have
been educated under him also
bear testimony to his ability to
boil down. information and i'm
part it to others in a manner
pleasing and attractive and easily
understood. He is a man yet
comparatively young and in the
prime vigor of life, and perhaps
gives promise of more public use.
fulness than any man we know.
The Eighth district will be hon.
ored by his election.

BootIegger Homer Anders Shot.

Homer Anders, who was convicted
and sentenced to term of imprison-
ment in the parish Jail at the late term
of district court for selling liquor with
out license, broke Jail few weeks
ago. He had been lying about his old
haunts in the eastern portion of Grant
parish, and threatening that the officers
could not take him.
Last Saturday night Deputy L. O..
Clinton, accompanied by Constable Joe
I. Lee, located him at the home Of his
brother-id-law, Roam Foster, near An
tonia, where Anders attempted to es-
cape by jumping out of window and
running. Deputy Clinton ordered him
to halt, and on his failing to do so
began to shoot at him, one of the shots
taking effect in Anders' right hip.
Anders was taken to the Alexandria
sanitarium for treatment, where his
wound was found to be not dangerous
Wednesday night he was brought to
Colfax and jailed He is reported as
saying that he would not have stopped
when he did if it had not been that a
bullet passed through his hat and part
ed his hair, and he thought it was time
to halt.

The Tax Revision Commission.

The Tax Revision Commission.
There assembled in the city of
Baton Rouge on last Monday.
July %, a body of men, a special
commission, whose business it is
to devise a more satisfactory sys-
TEN of collecting taxes in Louisi-
ana. 1t is composed of thirty
two men, representing the very
best talent of the State, who are
to propose plans for assessment
and taxation to be submitted to
a special session of the legisla-
ture in September.
The plan was originally pro-
posed by Gov. Blanchard, who
was appointed on the commits
sion, but for business reasons and
sickness in his family he has de-
clined to serve. The general
plan is, to separate the things on
which State and parish taxes are
to be levied. The cost of the
State government is to be main
tanned by taxes from corpora
tons and franchises, ETC., while
the expense of maintaining gov
erment in the parishes and mum
cipalities is to be by taxes on real
estate and personal property.
1t is generally conceded that
Louisiana has a cumbersome and
obsolete system of assessment
and taxation, and it is proposed
to remodel our system after the
plan of Califol MIA and some of
the other most progressive States,
in which the same property is not
taxed for State and local pur-
poses, but the taxes are levied
separately as above stated. 1t is
said that those States which have
adopted this plan have found it
to be an unqualified success.

Eighth District Organized
Cant. Teal's Work in Ordering Primary
Election Ratified by State
Committee.

The temporary committee called
together by Capt. c. H. Teal,
Chairman of the 7th Congress
sional committee, to take action
toward the organization of the
necessary party prelimnaries in
the new 9Th Congressional dis
trict, met in Alexandria at 3 p.
m. on Monday, July 22.
They ordered a primary cleo
ton in the 9Th Congressional dis
trict for Tuesday, Sept. 3, 1912,
to be conducted under existing
State laws, for the nomination of
| a Congressman for this district.
Each candidate is to deposit with
the committee one hundred dol
lars, which shall accompany the
notification of his candidacy.
Nominations close July 81, and
the committee is to meet again
to declare nominations, etc. =
On July % the State Central
committee met in Baton Rouge
and formally ratified the action
taken blythe temporary commit
tee at Alexandria on the day
previous, thus curing any irreg-
ularity or informality, and duly
launching the party organization
in the new Eighth Congressional
district.

to build four miles of road per
day. We have made a rough
comparison of the difference in
cost of constructing roads with
the tractor and in the old way.
AS near as we can figure with
mule power, the roads are work.
ed at a cost of $500 per mile,
while with the tractor we find
the cost to be about $3.50 per
mile. The tractor can be operat-
ed at a cost little in excess of the
cost of mule power, but with it,
eight times as much road can be
graded in the same period of
time. This amount of work, of
course, is done only in grading
and the time consumed in con-
structing bridges and culverts
are not taken into account.
At present, we have only ap-
proximate figures from which to
draw our conclusions, but we
feel they are nearly correct.
Thus if the work of the tractor
in future proves to be such an
advantage as now seems proba-
BILE, it may be that the parish
will be justified in purchasing
another tractor for its work. By
using the tractor as a motive
power a saving of $40, 10000 to
SIS, 10000 per annum may result
and the wisdom Of the above pos
sibility is apparent. Unfortu-
nately, the price of gasoline has
taken quite a jump, from IL to
II cents per gallon. We are now
using kerosine instead of gaso-
line with very good success,
though we do not consider it as
good as gasoline.
1t is almost impossible for your
committee to ascertain definite
ly what is being done toward
maintaining the roads in the hill
wards, though our information
has been that they are progress
sing very nicely with the equip
ment now available to them. +"
Respectfully submitted,
Otis COLLINS,
Chairman Road Committee,
Rapides parish.

The Cost of the Desoto Model Road.

At a meeting of the citizens of
Mansfield last week, in order to
settle controversy among the
police jurors as to the best policy
to pursue in continuing work on
their model roads, Messrs. John
M. Murphy and T. B. Herndon
were appointed as experts to
figure out the cost of roads built
in DeSoto parish by the use of
the State convicts. This report
is published in the Mansfield
Journal. They report the net
cost of building 49. 8 miles of road
to be SAG, 1873. So, or an average of
$9N.68 per mile cost to the
parish for each mile of road built
with the use of convicts.
This report is made in the face
OF an alleged statement" two
columns in length published in
the Mansfield Enterprise pur-
porting to show that these same
roads cost the parish of DeSoto
SOL, 05O.75, or an average of
So, 416. 63 per mile.
When it comes to figuring
on the cost of a thing, it seems
that DeSoto parish mathemati-
clans are about as exaggerated in
their calculations as some of our
Grant parish friends. who figure
on what they don't know about
roads, and what it costs to build
them.
