that the change suggested would
shorten the route $40 of a mile, an.

Goo Coos Are Sure Hungry for Jobs

The Monroe News-Star states that
the Goo Coos are sure hungry for
jobs and that mutiny is threatened
n the rank and file of the Good Gov
ernment League here, because the
long expected distribution of politi-
cal pie has not come off as sched-
uled. A council of war was held Fri
day night by the sub-leaders of the
organization, and it is said by those
on the inside that the atmosphere
was kept in constant state of fric-
ton during the pow-wow.
Jobs, and nothing but jobs" was
he slogan of the evening.
The trouble arose over the failure
of the new Dock Board to hand out
the persimmOns with anticipated
celebrity. The boys believed thai
Johnny Fitzgerald of the Ninth
Ward would be made superintend-
ent of docks Immediately after the
old board was retired by decree OF
court, and that B. A. Kernion of The
Seventh Ward would be appointed
secretary.
But Governor Hall, it appears, has
bis own ideas about what constitutes
a business administration of the
city's port facilities, and the ex-
pected decapitations have not oc-
cured. Therefore, there is woe in
the house of GoO-GOOism.
I'VE are tired of waiting" said
one of the leaders at the meeting.
1T is job now or never"
The chances are that it will be
never.
One delegate from the Tenth
Ward demanded the passage of Q
resolution putting it up to the Gov
ornor. Some friends of Governor
Hall, who were in the meeting room
however, promised they woulG
speak to the Governor about it, and
a temporary truce was patched up

Weather and the Crops.

New Orleans Picayune June 2: The
past week has developed almost
ideal weather for all the crops III
he South. In the cotton belt there
has been but moderate rainfall and
plenty of sunshine, with steadily
rising temperature. The lack of rain
complained of in the eastern portion
of the belt was relieved by good
lownpours at the close of last week
md at the commencement of the
period under review, and the fine
growing weather since has helped
a.erially to improve conditions. In
he central and western sections the
weather. has been fine and the crop
has made steady progress.
The corn crop has experienced
much the same conditions as the
Iotton crop and is making good
progress, with every prospect that
here will be a full yield Rice is
also making fine progress, and with
continuance of favorable weather
good full crop is indicated.
The sugar crop is now making
me progress and a feeling of salts
action prevails throughout the su-
rar district. The weather. which
here ofore has been rather too cool
has warmed up materially during
he past week, and as a result the
cane is making fine progress and
good stands are reported from all
paris of the Snpap country.

What Will the Poor Old Man Do:

Monroe NeWs-Star: There will be
no liquor saloons in the Panama
Canal Zone after July L. The 18TH
mian Canal Commission has passed
a resolution to grant no license after
that date. There are thirty-five
saloons in the towns of the zone.
SiXty-three saloons were open al
one time. During the present year
the commission has collected $4,000
for licensing saloons, and since 1907
when licenses were first granted, il
has received $326,00O."
And after July this great outrage
is to be perpetrated On the saloons.

young man of good repute, and car
rying concealed weapons. When on
Friday Deputy Sheriff Barnett at
tempted HOwardS arrest, he was re-
sisted by Howard with a shotgun.
At this time Howard had the de-
clded advantage over Barnett, who

situation and requested instructions.
Howard has terrorized the neigh
Dorhood and had announced his de-
termination to resist arrest.

from Sheriff FlOurnoy to arrest
Howard, Deputy Sheriff Barnett on
Monday morning proceeded to exc
cute the warrant. He was accom-
panied by Deputy Jim Huckabay.
Having located Howard, the deputy
