A Fatal Railroad Wreck.

The north bound L. R. & N. passen-
ger train was wrecked near Wetzler, IL
miles north of Colfax, last Saturday,
about $50 p. m, engineer F.. Wright
being instantly killed, and his negro
fireman, Nose Samuels. being badly
scalded. The wreck was caused by a
cow jumping on the track just ahead
of the locomotive. No other employees
were injured, and none of the passen-
gers received any injury. The locomo-
tive left the track. and the baggage
car and coaches were derailed but not
wrecked. The engine turned entirely
clear of the track, and the train was
able to go ahead after about twelve
hours delay by the use of another en-
CINE. The south bound passenger was
delayed ut Montgomery all night be-
fore il could pass the wreck.

Ward One Penny Wise ard p ound Fool
saI

The action of the property tax
payers of ward one, in coming
before the school board on last
Wednesday and asking for the
levy of a 2112 mills tax in aid of
schools, at the same time the
bulk of the citizens of Grant par
ISL were asking for a parish wide
tax of 5-mills, we regard as a
penny wise and pound foolish
proceeding. This is manifest at
almost any view point from which
1t may be considered. We feel
sure that the citizens of ward
one who were present at the
meeting of the board and heard
the matter discussed were con-
WINGED that the five mills tax
proposed is the most equitable
and just proposition for all parts
OF the parish. This was made
so evident that representatives
from some of the districts that
were left out of consolidated dis
trict 80, because they have on
hand goodly cash balance, ex-
pressed their belief that the citi-
Zens of those districts would have
joined in the proposition for a
parish wide tax, because of the
splendid impetus it would give
the schools of their districts.
This being the case, it appears
doubly short-sighted for the citi-
zens of ward one to oppose the
the proposition in any particular.
Our district is behind fully two
thousand dollars; and in view of !
the fact that the Colfax high |
school stands in jeopardy because
Of the need for an extension of

mercial lines, there should be no

mercial lines, there should be nc
opposition to the five mill tax.
1t is also imperative that ex-
tensive additions, improvements
and furnishings be made to the
present Colfax high school build
ing, and in order to do this and
have the burden bear alike on all,
the levying of a full five mills
tax is necessary.
In fact, We believe and ear
nestly hope that when the mat
ter comes to a vote ward one will
be found standing in line with
the rest of the parish for the five
mills tax. Our reason for this
belief is the sentiment expressed
by some of the most ardent sign
ers of the. petition for ward one,
who were in favor of withdraw
ing the ward petition if they had
felt authorized to act for those
who signed it.
The petition from ward one
being signed by the requisite
number of tax payers, under the
law the board was compelled to
order the election asked for in
this ward. By referring to the
presidents Proclamation of
Election" printed in this issue,
it will be seen that the two cleo
tons are ordered on separate
dates, on August 10 and August !
q, and our citizens will have the
opportunity to vote for or against
either proposition. We hope they |
will all vote for the first and
against the second proposition.
