The Model Roads of Grant Parish.
The report of the State High.
way Engineer for the two years,
April 20, 1914 to April 20, 1916,
places Grant parish in the lead
as to the construction of high
ways under the supervision OF
the State Department.
While other parishes have been
talking about road building Grant
parish has been at work building
her roads. The result is that we
have already completed seventy
miles of model highways, and
have twenty miles additional now
building, to be completed before
the season is over.
We hope to see Grant parish
maintain her lead in the march
of progress, and believe wher
our people have had the oppor.
tunity of testing the twelve miles
of roads that have been gravelet
they will not rest content unit
all the roads of the parish are
graveled.

The principal administration
measure now before the legisla-
ture proposes to create a board
of State affairs" to be appointed
by the governor, with almost un-
limited authority in the super
vision of the affairs of State. 1t
will be composed of three men,
bers who will receive a salary of
FIVE thousand. In it's authority
to get at the basis of assess
ments, it is given a wide range.
While the scheme may work well,
it is a tremendous risk to place
such power in the hand of an ap-
pointed committee. Mansfield

Proposition to Vote Bonds.

On Tuesday. June q, the citi-
zens of Colfax and vicinity will
be called on to vote on the propo-
sition Ito incur debt and issue
bonds to the amount of $4,000. /"
To meet the payment of this debt
will require the levy of special
tax of 2 or 3 mills for five years.
The funds are needed to rebuild
the high school building which
was burned some time ago. 1t
is hoped that everybody will re-
cognize this proposition as a
worthy community interest in
which all are concerned, and vote
for the bond issue. At the out
side limit a tax of 3 mills will
cover the levy necessary to meet
this obligation. and it hoped that
there will be little or no opposi.
tion to the proposition.

Thorns in His Bed of Roses.

Mr.. Hughes already fin d s
thorns in his bed of roses, as a
candidate for president. for his
message as governor of New
York opposing the ratification of
the income tax amendment, has
been read into the Congressional
Record, as has been the fact that
he wrote the opinion of the Su-
preme court annulling the grand
father clause Of the Oklahoma
State constitution, practically an
nulling the disfranchisement OF
negroes in the South. Mansfield

The Colfax chronicle., 1916-06-24

Monday, June 19. was Emanci-
patton Day, and the negroes of
Colfax and vicinity celebrated
the day from which they date
their freedom from slavery with
appropriate ceremonies. There
is alittle dispute as to the exact
date of the Emancipation Pro
clamation, but the fact remains
President Lincoln did sign and
issue the document which set the
negroes free on or about the date
they hold their celebrations. and
it is all right for them to observe
the memorable fact with appro.
pirate ceremonies.

A Clash Of Troops in Mexico.

The people of the United States
were thrown into a furore of ex-
citement, when on Tuesday, June
20, about 200 Americans troops
clashed with a superior force of
Mexicans. The first report said
that forty Americans had been
killed and a number taken pris-
oners. Later advices, however,
brings the news that only eleven
were killed and seventeen taken
prisoners.
The true facts seem to be that
a detachment of the Tenth U. S.
Cavalry, a regiment of negroes
commanded by white officers,
had been sent out on a scouting
expetion, and arriving close to
the town of Carrizal, where a
considerable body of Mexicans
were quartered, they halted to
parley about the privilege OF
passing through the town. just
at the close of the parley the
Mexicans opened fire on the
Americans with a machine gun,
who in turn hastily 'dismounted
and returned the fire, killing fiji.
teen or twenty Mexicans, and
wounding a large number. Capt,
Boyd in command of the Ameri.
can troops, and Gen. Gomez ir
command of the Mexicans, were
among the killed.
1t may be that the fight came
as a def of Gen. Trevino, wht
sent word to Gen. Pershing tha
any movement of the American
troops other than north towar(
the border, would be considered
as a hostile act and would be me-
with resistance.
At headquarters in Washing
ton and Mexico, the authorities
are disposed to regard the clasl
as a mistake, or as the result O.
hasty and unwarranted action
and both Wilson and Caranz'
express the hope that it may no
lead to a declaration of war.

War News From Europe.

The great drive of the Rus
SLAMS along the eastern front has
occupied most of the attention
of the newspaper correspon-
dents. The official reports from
Russia claim the capture of more
than 172.0OO officers and men,
besides ammunition, guns and
other stores in great quantities.
As an effect. the reports are
that German assaults on Verdun
and Austrian assaults in the
Trentino have been greatly les
Sened.

The Lake Charles American.

The Lake Charles American
Press of June IL is a mamoth
edition of 48 pages, containing a
vast amount of boosting infor-
nation about Lake Charles and
Calcasieu parish, and the whole
of Southwest Louisiana. The
edition is splendidly illustrated,
well printed, and is a magnifi-
cient exhibit of the enterprise of
the publishers, as well as ex-
tremely valuable to Calcasieu
parish and the State at large.
We congratulate Lake Charles
on having such a progressive
journal as an asset among its
many features of merit.

Neither Pith Nor Point to His Opposi
tiOn.


On our first page we print a
communication from Mr.. |. Nc
Mills, in which he makes the un-
reasonable and extravagant state
ment that the high schools of
Grant parish receive from the
State $50, 600, whereas they get
less than $4,000. Also on inves-
tigation we find that his asser-
ton that "the State. gives this
parish $25, 600 or $50, 600 for her
schools, +" is entirely extravagant
and untrue, as the State gives
this parish for the current school
fund $12, 600, which is less than
one-half of $25, 900 or $50, 900.
AS there is neither pith mol
point to Mr.. McMills' opposition
to the school tax. his opposition
has nothing to back it up, and
for that reason should have nc
weight with the voters. AS 9
matter of fact. there is a great
need for the special tax in aid Of
the schools, and we hope to see
the voters cast a solid vote ir
favor of it:

Mr.. H. G. Goodwyn, Colfax, La
Dear M. Goodwyn-I am in receipt
of your letter with reference to the
proposed route of the proposed State
road. This bill was given hearing
last night before the committee, ana
no action taken. and another hearing
set for Tuesday next.
As the bill now stands the definite
route is left with the State Board OF
Engineers and the police juries.
should think that your suggestions
would probably be carried out.
/ hear nothing but favorable COM
ment on the proposition, but there will
have to be some changes giving all the
parishes man line or lateral. in my
opinion, to keep down any fight in the
legislature.
tits indeed big proposition. but q
constructive one, and probably we
could not do any other thing that would
mean so much for our States future
prosperity.
When | can be of service to you
please command me. and oblige,
Yours very truly,
