Brothers. Tragic End.

Newman broke down and wept when he
attempted to tell the history OF the Gold
Hill mine.

drink and didn't care what happened
MY brother saw things were going 10

The promoter denied that there was
anything wrong In attempting TO boos.
the stock on Senate stationery. but he
declared that his mine didn't need any
boosting; that the gold stood out in
some Of the veins like fat in porter
house steak.
Newman reviewed the ups and downs of
Gold Hlll through receivershlps and
otherwise. He told OF the sending by
Senator Chiffon OF J. G. Williams. the
mining engineer, to Gold Hin. II was

later was circulated on the lct-crheads of

gineer with whom Newman. so he says.

Newman testified that the stock was

not sold n share In two years. He was
certain he had not sent out more than

had gone to stockholders in the company.
He acknowledged that he had sent some

WAsHiNGToN, July 3.--George Walter
Newman thought so highly of the NORTH
Carolina gold mine which was exploited
on Senate stationery that tears courscd
down his cheeks as he cNtolled its vast
possibilities to-day on the stand before
the Senate special committee. Possibly
TO excite tho appetite of prospective In.
vestors he said that tho gold stood out In
some veins like the fat In a porterhouse
steak. 1t was all he could do To get a
mining expert to make his estimate OF
the value of the property as low as
$50 600 900
Mr.. Newman testified also that Hen.
men Jennings. mining engineer asso-
cisted with Mr. Williams. asked him in
the presence of the Comptroller II he
would sell the property and the promo
ter limited that Mr. Williams showed d
desire to enter into the negotiations.
1t developed too in the course OF the
days hearing that Newman used the
Presidents room in the Senate wing OF the
Capitol when singing the praises of Gold
Hin to the statesmen who were called
from the Senate chamber TO see him.

Upon further questioning Newman test-
fed that in this conference at Williams 3
office no one except Mr.. Jennings spoke to
him IN regard To the purchase OF the
mine He added, however:
But afterward an appointment was
made with me by Mr. Williams TO go to
Mr.. Perkins's house, and had my super
intcndent OF mines come up here. Mr..
Perkins was a partner Of Mr. Jennings in
ell his enterprises.

Fish Biting Fine AT All
The Lakes.

Reports are current that never
before did fish bite SO well at the
lakes situated on the 0pelousas
Gulf &Northeastern r. r between
this city and Melville. Crowds
of fishermen leave this city every
day to enjoy an outing at the
lakes.
The O'Gee, however, realizing
that the people of st. Landry are
becoming more and more in love
with the lakes, will consequently
operate a daily special train
to the fishing grounds at Half
Moon and Second Lakes. This
train will leave Opelousas at 7::3O
a. M, and leave the lakes on the
return at $50 p. M, thereby al
lowing the fishermen and picnic
ers one whole day at the cool
lakes.
The railroad officials announc-
ed during the week that the
special train will continue
from Sunday morning until the
fishing season closes.

Special Train Will Carry
Fans and Locals Expected
To Win.

The Opelousas baseball club
will journey to Eunice on Sunday
evening, over the Frisco, accom-
panied by few hundred fans, to-
tackle tthifeeiiif. their strongest s54ls 0i1
their own territory.
The local boys expect to take
their sweet revenge BY coping
that Sundays game, thereby be-
ing able to compete for the state
championship.
On Sunday August 16 Opel
ousas will play Eunice at Jeane-
rette. The people of the iberia
town, realizing that Eunice and
Opelousas were the two best
amatuer teams in the state, en-
gagged with the managers BIZ the
two clubs to stage one Of their
interesting past-times on jean
erette diamond, so that the sew
eral thousand members of the
Woodmen of the World, who will
congregate in Jeanerette, might
view a real good game OF ball.
Of course an excursion win be
operated from here to Jeanerefte
50 that the local ball lovers will
have an opportunity to sse The
two st. Landry towns play on
foreign soil.
The report that last Sundays
game would be the last game Of
the season was not correct, since
Manager Dejean had booked the
games in the latter part of the
week prolonging the baseball
season a few weeks longer.

Mr.. HORN CAPTURES
ESCAPED CONVICT
Ed. Daniels, A Notorious
Texas Negro Murderer
Is Lodged in Jail.

City Marshal Plais Horn did a
good days work on Wednesday.
when he succeeded in capturing
Ed. Daniels, a notorious Texas
negro murderer fafafHHri The he Texas eessess
officials were Immediately noti-
fed and Daniels will be safe
within the confines of the Texas
penitentiary within the next few
days.
Daniels was convicted in the
early spring for murder and was
sent to the state penitentiary at
Huntsville, Texas. On May 25th
the negro, with several of his
companions, escaped from the
penal farm, and the Texas Of
ficials were at a loss where to
locate him, when Mr.. Horn cap
tured him on the Frisco tracks
in this city.
The negro convict is a native
of this parish, having been
raised on Gradney's Island; he
left Louisiana about seven years
ago and committed murder in
1913. When Mr.. Horn caught
the black he was coming from
Eunice, where he has a sister.
The negro had been riding a
freight train, which he had just
alighted from, when he was rec
ognized by the Opelousas police
man.
Daniels naturally denied that
he was the one being sought by.
the Texas officials, but upon be-
ing shown his photograph he ad-
mitted that he was the murderer
and readily consented to being
brought to Jail, where he will
remain until the Huntsville Of
ficials arrive here.

last Tuesday morning. Mr..
Parker told the people of Lou
isiana that farmers in other
states, wherein he had visited,
were making two to three times
as much as the farmers in this
state on inferior and higher
priced lands; the farmes, he
pointed, knew how to get
around the high cost of living
and did not spend too much time
at useless tasks; they cultivated
their crops with a great deal OF
care and intelligence and in
dulged in the extensive use of
fertilizer. He further stated
that the farmers of this state
instead of selling their raw ma
terial at low prices would in
crease their income MANIFOLD by
feeding this raw material to live
stock, in which industry there
were thousands and thousands of
dollars to be made each year.
The Bull Moose King Of Louis
iana advised the Farmers Union
to demand of the next Legisla-
ture such legislation as would
answer the questions what,
when and how to plant, how to
cultivate and gather and when
and where to sell. With cooper
alton on the part of the farmers
this state would be many times
richer than it is at present, ac-
|cording to the opinion of Mr..
Parker.
DR.. Ladislas Lazaro, Congress-
man from the Seventh Louisia-
ma District, at the bidding of the
Farmers Union, spoke on Lou
|isiana as an agricultural state;
he spoke along the lines of edu-
cation, good roads, drainage
and cheaper money. He told
the farmers that special induce
ments should be made to keep
the boys on the farm and not al
low them to leave the country
after they have received an ed
ucation.
DR.. Lazaro said ia part: Tt is
| a well known fact that Louisia-
ma is an agricultural state and
that her farmers constitute the
foundation Of her prosperity.
The farmer is the bone and
sinew of the land; he furnishes
not only the muscle to produce
food for all the people, but fal
more than his share to the brair
that rules. The farm was tn

Some Fine Products.

Products from all over the
parish were brought into the
city during the Farmers Union
Convention, so that farmers
from other sections of the state
could judge for themselves what
the farmers in this parish really
can do.
Among the many products
none attracted more attention
than the cotton stalk, brought

thing at all the balance of the
world would starve to death in
six weeks, whereas, there is not
a farmer, if he is the right kind
of a farmer, but can live very
well for sixty days without even
leaving his place.
Discussing the fertilization at
considerable length, Mr.. Young
said in part: IF you draw on
your bank account without re-
plenishing it you will exhaust it
in time. In the same manner
you cannot draw on the resources
of your land unless you replenish
it, without exhausting it. The
bank will turn down your over
draft for lack of funds the
land will turn down your draft
for lack of soil, = the elements
of plant life.
I'VE are told there are just
ten essential elements in the soil
for the production Of plant life,
phosphoric acid, nitrogen, potash,
magnesia, sulphur, iron and lime
that come from earth, and car
bon, hydrogen and oxygen that
come from the air and water.
All of these elements are practi-
cally inexhaustible except phos-
phoric acid, nitrogen and potash.
Nitrogen produces stalk and
leaf; phosphoric acid and potash
the seed and the fruit. A farm
er may study the nature of his
land to get the right idea of the
kind Of fertilizer he needs. .
Mr.. Young who kept his
audience listening the.entire time
went on to show that the fertili-
ger does not take the place of
good farming; saying that it only
supplements it and the crop must
have moisture in order to grow.
He stated that the only matter to
do this was to ploW very deep in
the fall and ploW the growing
crop shallow, frequently, at the
same time adding humus to the
soil. For over two hours this
able farmer, who has made a
success at his profession, help
the audience spell bound, between
sound adyices and few jokes.
E. P. Gueymard. Texas and
Pacific immigration agent, was
another one who delivered an
able address. This able orator
told the farmers that Louisiana
owed much to the Farmers
Union; that this organization
has brought untold good to the
farmers of this state and that,
since the railroads now UNDER
stood the Farmers
Union thousands and thousands
Iof dollars would be saved by the
farmers of this state each year.
He went on to show that the
best advertisement this state
could purchase was successful
| farming when northerners would
learn that Louisiana farmers
would be raising full crops each
! year the best immigrants from
all over the United States would
pour into this state.
J. M. Parker. one of the lead
] ing figures in the agricultural
and financial circles Of Louisiana,
was one of the first to address
/ the farmers and several hun.
dred citizens Of this parish or
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-08-01

| into extensive working, fertiliza-
tion, crop rotation, seed selec-
ton methods and oiladaptation.
The interest of the railroads
and the farmers are communal,
lM.Er. Young contended, a fact at
last realized by both railroads
and farmers, after a long per-
iod of misunderstanding. The
farmers must depend upon the
railroads to reach the market,
the railroad in turn must depend
upon the farmers for the bulk of
their traffic.
In just the same proportion
that the farmerswith a good crop
suffers if he has no means of
getting it to the market the rail-
roads suffer if they have no crops
to transport, and they have, to
mutually realize that neither can
attend in the greatest, or even
the proximate, results of their
industry without the help and
cooperation of the other.
Land" declared Mr.. Young,
rs the commissary of subsis-
tence for all animal life. Man
and beast alike depend upon it,
and as the fundamental element
of life you must conserve it just
as you would your physical
strength. Having taxed its
strength before you tax it look
| ing for the same results. From
their methods of farming, year
in and year out, always taking
from and never giving to their
land, most farmers would appear
to harbor spite against it. They
seem to want to wear it out as
quickly as they can, never realiz-
ing that they and their posterity
! will need it as the source of their
existence for years and genera
tions to come. The land area is
fixed, and the nature of things
cannot increase, whilst the popu-
lation of the country it must sus-
tain and provide with food and
raiment, is increasing constantly
and rapidly. Land creation
stopped 5000 years ago, whilst
the increase of population multi
plies with every day. We can
meet this condition in but one
Way-by increasing the produc-
| tive capacity of our lands, and
that is to be accomplished only
by the intensive method of culti-
walton; by proper tillage, the use
iof fertilizer, soil restoration and
preservation, and this often in
wolves, according to locality and
climate, drainage and the con-
servation of moisture. There is
no such thing as land so poor
that It cannot be improved to the
point of profitable cultivation,
but there is such a thing as farm
| ing too poor to pay on the richest
land,
Farm life is the happiest in
the world if the farmer is a rea-
Isonable man and does not under
take too much, but arranges con-
1veniences about his place and
fixes to live. He ought to be the
most independent man on earth,
because he has everything first:
liz he has not got it the other
fellow cannot get it. Il every
farmer was to go on strike for
sixty days and refuse to sell any
