WILL COMPLY WITH
 WONAN'S WAGE LAW
LITTLE ROCK LAUNDRIES WILL PUT ACT INTO EFFECT
 AT ONCE.
TO IGNORE DISCREPANCIES
Believed That All Concerns Affected Will Accept the Measure With
 out Fight.
Little Rock

Owners of Little Rock laundries agreed to put into effect the women's minimum wage law passed by the last Legislature notwithstanding the ap- parent discrepancies in the act. On account of the increased wage scale provided for by the law, the laundry men say they will be compelled to increase the prices of laundry work. It is believed that all other business concerns affected by the act will com ply with it's provisions without attack ing the legality of the measure, un- less the State Labor Department makes it unpleasant for them during the experimental stage. The law af- fleets all mercantile establishments, laundri4s, telegraph, telephone com panies{ hotels and restaurants. AS was to be Expected, it is believed that many women will be thrown out of employ ment o1. account of the drastic proyi- sions of the act, and boys and men placed in their positions.

Correction.

Our attention has been called
to an error which appeared in
the minutes of the police jury in
our issue of Oct. 9, in which it
is stated that the president was
authorized to issue a note for
$25, 600 to provide funds neces-
sary to meet amounts now due
and payable. f" This is ten times
the amount authorized to be bar
rowed as So, 500 is the correct
amount, and the note at the
Bank of Colfax is for that
amount, and not $25, 600.

Not Comedy. but Tragedy.

Now that young Pesrsall from the
dry State OF Mississippi has been Killed
by Rev. Holley, the prohibitionists
have O case to suit their iurid oratory.
1t is not typical; it is one in a million;
but that will not matter. The prchi-
bitionists deal in exceptions and exak-
geraticns; they are given to declama-
ton and oratory, and make facts yielu
TO such demands. We have quoted q
specimen in this issue from the ColfaA
Chronicle, wherein Bro. Goodwyn
spreads himself for lofty flight.
Morgan City Outlook.
The Outlook editors comments are d
string Of vapid errors, and would be
amusing if not uttered in behalf of the
most vicious interest in the world-the
whisky interest. Young Pearsall,
either in maudlin drunkenness, or un-
fortunate ALTERATION Of mind, entered
the home of Rev. DR.. Holley in the
dead hours of night, and when chal-
lenged as to his presence there made
movements that caused Mr. Holley Il,
decide he intended to do him harm.
whereupon the doctor fired and killed
the intruder. The Orleans parish grand
jury exonerated DR.. HolIey from all
blame. If the young man was drunk.
it is only one of the many thousands OF
tragedies directly chargeable to the
whisky traffic. If he was insane, il
was an unfortunate occurrence. IT.
either case it is entirely a misfit foI
the Outlook to lug it in as text from
which to preach freedom for the saloon
traffic. or in any wise to affect or Off
set the Chronicle editors effort when
he spreads himself for lofty flight. y
We are particularly obliged to Bro.
Pickles for giving its readers the bene.
fit of the quotation from the Chronicle.
They doubtless recognized it as one OF
the most sensible articles that has ap-
peared in the Outlook for long time.
If the Outlook wants to do the people
of its section some real good we sug.
gest that it publish few more Chron.
icIe extracts. Its attention is particu.
larly called to the article, How Pro
hibition Killed Kansas" which it viii
find in another column of this issue.

Number One of Volume Forty.


This issue of The Colfax Chron-
icle begins the fortieth annual
volume of the paper. The Chron-
icle was established in 1876 by
]. M. Sweeney, who ran it for
only one year and became so in
volved that the plant was sold
and bought in by Judge A. v.
Ragan, then parish judge, and
Capt. G. C. Nash, tax collector,
which Office at that time was not
connected with the sheriff's Of
fee. Nash and Raglan having no
knowledge of the printing bust
ness, wrote to the publishers of
New Orleans for a printer to run
the paper.
In answer to their inquiries H.
G. Goodwin, the present editor,
arrived in Colfax on Nov. e 1877,
and took charge of the Chronicle
outfit. The arrangement with
Nash and Raglan was that Good
wyn should have half of all the
gross receipts, while Nash and
Raglan should have the other half
out of which they were to pay
for all necessary supplies of pa
per, ink, taxes, etc. The first
year Nash and Raglan each re-
ceived q dizzy Of about $3.50 as
their share, after paying taxes
and all other expenses. The
second year they were called on
to go down in their pockets and
each dig about ten dollars in or
der to pay taxes and meet some
small bills that their half of the
receipts failed to pay. Nash and
Raglan thereupon decided that
their $500 investment in q news
paper was too much of a losing
proposition. so they offered to
sell the outfit to Goodwin, and
let him take the chances on the
profits. In this way the owner
ship of the Chronicle passed to
H. G. Goodwin in the month of
January, 1880, and he has been
in constant control of the paper
ever since.
This is the first time this in
side history has been related in
these columns. and we give il
for the benefit of the younger
brethren of the craft.
I'VE throw out the first issue of
our new volume with some pride
at the improvements that have
been made in the Office since the
70's, the outfit now being worth
several times the value it was
then. We feel especially thank
full to the kind Providence that
has attended US all these years,
and Notwithstanding many re-
verses and trials, has kept US
surrounded with hosts of friends
whose esteem we regard above
all things.
