Shermen's March Through Georgia.

Shreveport Caucasian.
When Sherman's march through Georgia
shall be recorded by the impartial historian
of the future, it will be presented as a
wanton and needless destruction, dictated
in the superlative Of Satanical hatred. For
miles in width, from Dalton, Ga, to the
sea, the march of the invader was indicated
by the destruction of the homes Of women
and children whose defenders were with
Johnston's Army. Not only were the homes
Of the defenseless pillaged and consigned
TO the flames, but the section traversed was
left in restitution. Sherman was the Attila
Of so-calied modern civilization. Attila
was a barbarian, but he was frequently
merciful. He killed, but he did not leave
his enemy to starve. Sherman's inhu-
manity is exceeded only by Phil Sheridan,
whose boast was that crow to fly across
the Shenandoah Valley must carry along
its rations or it would perish from starva-
ton. This quotation is an emphasis OF
the utter ruin and desolation Of this lovely
section OF Virginia., which had been de-
wasted by Sherman and his hordes.
Marching through Georgia" which is
glorified at the North, is not only blot,
but in time to come it will be mentioned as
a discredit and shameful record, attesting
in all its malignity Sherman's declaration
that ''war is hell" hell as he made it, a
hell as it will go down in impartial history

Hot Springs, Ark, Sept. 5.-About ST.
$50, 00O property loss, 32'a blocks burned
and 2O0O people homeless, is the story
of the most disastrous conflagration which
ever visited this city this afternoon and
night. AT 1880 tonight the fire had
burned its way practically to the foot of
West Mountain, sweeping a district seven
to ten blocks in width from Hot Springs
Mountain On the east to West Mountain, a
distance of mile and half.
Washington, September 9.-Hot weather
and drouth in number of principal corn
growing States during the month ending
September 1st caused a deterioration of
corn which experts calculate has resulted
in the loss of 321 ZOO, 900 bushels, reducing
the corn crop estimates to 2,351 .O0O, 900
bushels. Never before in the history of the
country has there been such bountiful
wheat harvest as has been gathered this
year. The estimate of the total crop of the
country is 754, OO0. 900 bushels or 5000, 600
bushels more than the great record crop of
1901.
Washington, September 9.-The Demo-
cratic tariff revision bill passed the Senate
at 5:43 this afternoon by vote of Al to 81,
amidst burst of applause, that swept
down from crowded galleries and found its
echo on the crowded floor of the Senate.
It's passage was attended with surprises in
| the final moments of the voting when Sen
ator LaFollette, Republican, cast his vote
with the Democrats and was joined few
moments later by Senator Poindexter,
Progressive. The Democrats had counted
throughout the long tariff fight upon losing
the votes of Senators Ransdell and Thorn
ton of Louisiana, Democrats, who voted
against the bill to-day because it would
put sugar on the free list.

"FALL IN" COMRADES!

Gen. Shaffer, in his general order for the
reunion Of the Confederate veterans OF the

for union and harmony is we'll made, and
will meet with the hearty approval OF the
camps throughout the State which he SO
ably represents.
The Confederate veterans Of Louisiana,
as elsewhere are all old men. Disagree
ments among all men are to deprecated,
but are more to be regretted among those
representing a sacred cause, and who are
fast answering the "last roll call" Indeed,
it should be undesirable on the part Of all
to bequeathe TO posterity, as 'unf nlshed

discord. Particularly should there be nc

Of the world. There are many reasons
why there should be harmony among the
Confederate Camps of Louisiana, and nc

Live within your income is even better
advice when rendered to State. For
many years Louisiana Legislatures have
been proverbially extravagant. Useless
Offices have been created and salaries un-
necessarily raised for the sole benefit OF
greedy political ringsters, notably the SAL
airy of the State Superintendent of Edu-
cation, which was shamefully foisted upon
the people only in its second assault upon
the State Constitution. Let the State live
within its taxes. There is no ADVERTISE
ment in the world which is better for State
than low tax rate.

Morgan City Outlook: There is little
doubt that parish superintendent are office
holders within the strictest meaning of the
term. All doubt should have been removed
when they were made treasurers of the
school funds. This was Aswell's scheme,
and yet Aswell assumed that superintend-
ents were professional employees, like
teachers. In fact, Aswell could assume
much to suit his ambition, provided it
might pass without opposition.

Louisiana Democrat: All of US perhaps
would hold up our hands in horror if &C.
cused of being slanderer, yet how much
of the so-called innocent gossip INDUCED
in in most communities is nothing less than
downright SANDER? How often do we see a
bright young life crushed and sometimes
blighted by the slanderous tale that prob
ably started from some thoughtless remark
or even a significant look that has grown
and strengthened until, like mighty SER
pent, it coils itself around its innocent
victim, choking all the joy and brightness
out of life.

McCREERY MAKES RACE
FOR HIS LIBERTY

Watsonville, CAL, Oct. 2S.-Walter
McCreery, former famous polo player
and millionaire, who escaped early
Monday from the Los Muretos ranch,
near Hollister, where he had been
held in durance by law and by rela-
tives, was believed today to have
boarded vessel bound for England.
Once at sea beyond the three-mile
limit he would be safe from pursuit
McCreery, who is heir to the great
er part of the millions of the late
Andrew B. McCreery, San Francisco
merchant, is technically insane under
American laws, but in England, by
the dictum of the court, he Is sane
and competent. McCreery was ad-
Judged insane in San Francisco in
1910, following scenes that ensued
in the McCreery home at Billion Park.
Rugby, County of Warwick, England.
Mrs. McCreery came to San Francis
co and with the aid of her husbands
relatives had McCreery adjudged an
incompetent. McCreery's escape from
the Los Muretos ranch was sensation
al. About midnight Monday morning
he rode ten miles on horseback to
where an automobile was waiting.
He has not been seen since.
Confident that Walter A. McCreery,
the fugitive millionaire. will attempt
to leave California on the liner Korea,
scheduled to sail from here this after
noon. the police kept close watch
on the vessel throughout the day. 1t
was believed here that McCreery may
have taken launch from Santa Cruz
and will attempt to board the liner at
sea. The police also searched for
coery at the hotels here.

hourished a revolver at one of the
polling places yesterday.
Two thousand votes were cast In
the state of Vera Cruz yesterday, Of
which 1900 were for Huerta and
800 for Diaz, with the rest scatter
ing.
Dispatches from Mexico City said
there were many precincts there in
which not vote was cast, many
more in which there were but two
or three, and that there were none
in which more than about fifteenth
of the electorate voted.
In that part of the north where the
rebels were in control It was said
the polls were not even opened, the
rebel leaders saying II would be RI
diculous to take part in an election
so elaborately fixed" in advance.
Nowhere in the country, so far as
could be learned, were the polls
open in all precincts, except in the
federal districts, and everywhere that
there was voting, the total of ballots
cast was proportionately small.
There can be no question that
Huerta will have more votes than
any other candidate, but this is not
accepted here as meaning anything.
