American citizenry is a cheap

1t was decided that C. H. Teal
and H. G.. Goodwin are ex-officio
members of the delegation.
On motion the chair also ap-
pointed a delegation of five Ra-
pides citizens, with the request
that they act in concert with the
Grant parish delegation in pre-
senting he Pineville- Bagdad

pides delegation is as follows:

The consensus of opinion ex-
pressed was that the north side
of Red river was the shortest and
best route from every point of
view, being above overflow, con-
yenient to and passing through
beds of gravel that can be used
for construction, and the Jeffer-
son Highway manager only need
have his attention directed to
its advantages by the delegation
to convince his judgment and Sc
cure his approval of this logical
route for the road.
Attorney j. A. Williams in a
ringing speech of five minutes
recounted the advantages of the
Bagdad; Pinevil1e route without
aspers;ng the motives of any
working for the road, and was
heartily applauded for his talk.

A Big Colonization Plan.

A comprehensive colonization

Pine association for the settle
of approximately Is, 600. 600 acres
of cut-over timber lands lying
between Alabama and Texas
constitutes a most important aid
to development Of the south in
general. is the opinion of ]. H.
Kirby of Houston, president of
the Kirby Lumber company. Mr..
Kirby is here attending meet
ing of mill managers and super
intendents of the various Kirby
company plants. 1t is the regu.
lar meeting of the heads of the
corporation with the men who
are in charge of their proper
ties.
The colonization scheme was
first promulgated by land owners
who are members of the South
ern Pine association. The asso-
citation then took the matter up
and now it is being directed with
]. E. Rhodes of New Orleans.
secretary of the association. at
its head. Mr.. Kirby believes the
colonization of this vast area
which seems possible under the
plan of the association, will be
of great benefit to the south.
Much of the land. in fact one
half of it. is east of the Mississip-
pi, being in Alabama, Mississip-
pi and Tennessee, the remainder
being on this side of the river in
Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas.
The movement to settle cut over
lands is practically new, in that
a few years ago there was doubt
as to whether these lands would
prove productive. Tests in Texas
as well as in other states have
proven it most productive. The
Kirby corporation has been for
ward in urging the settlement Of
this land, particularly in that its
plan is to buy vegetables and
fruits for its various stores re.
sulting in a desire to see this
land farmer. Beaumont Enter

Direct Elections.

+ The New York World has SUBJ
mitted to many prominent men,
including members of Congress,
the question whether they are in
favor of the election of President
by popular vote. The first fifty
replies show a sharp division of
opinion. Ex-President Taft, ex-
Senator Edmunds, ex-Judge Geo.
Gray and President Nicholas
Murray Butler, of Columbia. are
irreconcilably opposed to the
adjustment of the Electoral Col
lege and DR.. Eliot of Harvard is.
inclined to think the change I'M
desirable.
Various senators, representatives.
and governors likewise put them
selves down for maintaining the
present system. Most of them
think that adjustment of the
college would be destructive of
the right of each State to express
its will in the choice of the Presi-
dent, as the makers of the con-
stitution intended it should.
From a southern standpoint,
one of the most significant facts
in connection with these express
sions of opinion is the agreement
of so many of the writers that
direct election must have as its
fundamental basis uniform suf-
frage throughout the country
no discrimination against any
class by reason of sex or color,
race or previous condition.
The southerners quoted all take
! practically the same stand. They
are opposed to a surrender of
the rights of the States or to the
enforcement of manhood suf-
frage: and with the South united
and the rest of the country likely
to be very much divided, there
doesn't seem to be "a very rosy
prospect for the proposed change
in the constitution. IN. o. States.

Pursuant to call about thirty
citizens of Colfax and members

Highway association assembled
in the lobby of the Brinker Hotel
Thursday. Nov. 80. at 7:30 p. m.
to take action relative to securing
the services of Mr.. J. D. Clark
son in scoring the proposed route
of the Jefferson Highway from
Colfax to Alexandria, via Bagdad
and Pineville.
Capt. c. H. Teal, president of
the association, called the meet
ing to order, and H. G. Goodwin,
secretary, was called on to read
a couple of letters relative to the
subject at hand.
After considerable discussion,
participated in by several Colfax
citizens, and also Messrs. Winnie
Barrett of Pineville, and T. C.
Bush of Paramount, it was de-
cided that the chair appoint a
delegation to wait on Mr.. Clark
son and inform him that it was
the earnest request and desire of
the citizens of Grant parish for
him to log and score the route
from Colfax to Alexandria by
way of Bagdad and Pineville, it
being the most direct and practi-
cal route between the two points.

this disease out Of our communi-
ty and out of our herd.
Hog cholera is now reported in
the Bagdad settlement, and near
Montgomery and Verda, and at
Bob southeast of Pollock. The
present outbreak Of cholera is of
the chronic type, and is so much
different from the old acute type
of cholera that it is easy for us
to assume that the disease is moi
really cholera.
The main symptoms for us to
watch for in our herds are gum.

rhoea, constipation, a staggering
gait, and a continual falling of
of flesh. The hogs are sick from
three days to three months, anG
some Of them get we'll. The di.
sease is only slowly contagious
from one animal to another ir

For prevention. isolate the sict
animals, burn all carcasses, xii

as heretofore stated so that the
representative of the rival routes
may hear all that is told to me
and see all that is shown to me.
No private or confidential state
ments will be received and any
letters written to me on the SUBJ
ject will be made public. 1t will
of course be very bad form for
anyone who does not wish to take
sides publicly to attempt to get
any information to me on a con-
fidential basis, and will only pre-
JUDGE his own case by attempt
ing to do so.
The Jefferson Highway is the
most important single enterprise
ever offered to any of the com
munities in this contest and the
decision to be rendered will be
based on the facts brought out
by the examination. 1t is our de-
sire to so conduct this contest as
to arouse sufficient public inter-
est in road building TO construct
all the roads in the contest, al
though but one can take our
marks and signs.
The decision will be made on
Monday, December Is, 1916, at
the parlors of the Association of
Commerce in New Orleans.
1t will be very desirable and
expedite matters for each route
to organize all the way through
on each contest with one man in

ton.

THANKSGIVING SERVICE

One of the interesting features in
the history of the colonists was their
annual Thanksgiving service. In those
old colonial days the early fathers of
our great America thought it alto
gether worth while to assemble in the
meeting house for praise and Thanks
giving to God for His provision and
protection. Presidents and governors
and mayors from that time to this
have issued Thanksgiving proclama-
tions, calling upon the people to fit
tingly observe the day. In accordance
with this custom the American peo-
pie are again called upon to observe
Thursday, Nov. 80, as Thanksgiving
Day. Our citizens are asked to assem-
BILE at 10 o'clock Thursday morning in
the East Broadway Christian church.
The Rev. Bunyan Stephens, pastor of
the Baptist church, will deliver the
Thanksgiving sermon. The choirs of
all the churches will furnish the music.
An offering will be taken for local
charity. 1t is hoped that a large num-
Der will avail themselves of the OPP
portunity offered by this service.

MOVING PICTURE FEATURES

Judging by the advertising it is re-

the picture story to be seen at the
Temple this evening, is something ex-
ira interesting. 1t will be the attrac-
ton at the opening of the new Rialto
theater in Jacksonville tomorrow, and
there are many other evidences that
it is a thriller.
Pauline Frederick, one of the great
est actresses on the movie stage, is
the star in this picture story. Ocala
always expects something good when
Pauline Frederick appears on the
screen
