EQUALS BERMUDA
GRASS FOR GRAZING.
Drainage Also Important In
Cultivation of Cutover
Lands of Parish.
(By A. E. Briggs }

In a recent issue of The Farmer
the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany called attention to the fact
that the annual grass fires is the
greatest enemy to the rapid repro
ducticn in pine trees" Even more
important, l believe, is the injury to
the cattle industry of the parish oc-
casioned by these fires in the de-
struction of so-called carpet grass
Carpet grass is not native, but
is a plant from tropical America
which was imported by way of New
Orleans about one hundred years
ago, and l find it everywhere | have
been in the parish. 1t is most ex-
ceptionally valuable grass. Recent
ly agricultural authorities have given
it some attention, and only last
April the United State Agricultural
Department issued a circular which
should be studied by every one in
terested in cattle raising. The fol-
lowing quotations should be suffic:-
ent to indicate to cattle owners the
very great profit to them which
would follow the elimination of the
annual fires and increased attention

Mr.. Alphonse Cousin First
To Reach House After
the Accident.
BODY AND TONGUE
ARE BADLY BURNED
Fence Burning and Pieces
of Flesh and Blood
On Pump.

The most deplorable and shocking
death of Mrs. DR.. Karl, at Lacombe,
Thursday, December 16, about p.
m, S supposed to have resulted from
her attempt to light a fire in the
stove with coal oil. She was rs
years of age.
She was found in the doorway of
her residence by Mr.. Alphonse Cou-
sin shortly after the accident. Her
clothing was burned from her body.
her breast, mouth and tongue being
severely burned, and the body still
warm; but she was dead. Mr.. Cou-
sin found the fence burning and put
it out. The whole house would have
been ablaze in short tine. 1t is
evident that Mrs. Karl had run into
the yard when her clothing first
caught fire and thetfence must have
caught from pieces lof clothing torn
off and thrown down. She had gone
to the pump in the yard and had
tried to extinguish the flames with
water. There was blood on the
pump handle and pieces Of flesh were
found clinging to the pump. Bra DIS
of hair burned from her head were
found in the yard. Her death must
have followed quickly the breathing
in of the flames.
Mrs. Karl was at one time teach
er in the public school, during the
time Mr.. Evans was superintendent.

A REPORT OF A PIECE OF ROAD
WORK.

The following is a comparative
report on the piece of road near Gov
ington that W Il be referred to as the
C5vington-Ma Springs
Junction Road. 1t is that part OF
the road from the end of the bridge,
over Bogue Falaya river, at CIaib-
orne where the Observation-Disclosures
Slidell road comes in from there on
to the point where the Abita Springs
and the Bogalusa, roads come n to-
gether. The first part is along Where
correction was made in the align
ment so as to eliminate series CT
dangerous curves and give a straight
and direct entrance into the bridge
approach to further insure a greater
safety.
All of this part of the road in
quest on could have been logically
placed in the J. D. Q'Reilley contract
and the first part could have prop
cry been placed in the contract re-
Gently signed with the firm of Peter
man & Loustalot, in fact, the whole
could have been worked that way,
but the work has been done by the
Good Roads Commissions outfit at
some saving to the parish.
Including the cost of labor, ma
terial, fead, engineering and super
vision and all other costs that could
De properly charged to the construc-
tion of the road as well as all extra
expense in the way of building by
passes and keeping men on duty to
assist the traffic, the cost of the road
in question was $6,34981.
Suppose we compare this with the
other contracts referred to by ap-
plying the unit pr ces as given in
each respective contract. The same
work done by J D. 0'Reilley would
have cost the parish $9,249.65, and
by Peterman & Loustalot the cost
would have been $9,795.74, or diff
ference of 49 per cent in the first
and 54 per cent in the second case.
There has been much speculation
as to the extra cost Of making the
change in the alignment Oh this
road. 1t MI ght be interesting to
know that the change cost only
$79332 more than it would have
cost to put the old road to the same
grade and every way as good.
1t can be said further that the
weather conditions have been the
most unfavorable and that traffic
pouring in off three roads all the
tine have presented as difficult prob
lens as are ordinarily met in work
OF tn S nature. Additional unforeseen
expenses amounted to over $3.50, all
of which is included in the total cost
given.

Drinks Liquor While Under
Treatment for High
Blood Pressure.
SAID STRUCK BY
WHITE LIGHTNING
Attended by DR.. Jones sof
Folsom, But Efforts to .
Save Him Failed.

E. l.. Campbell, timber inspector,
whose home is at 4421 South Libei-
ty street, New Orleans, is one more
added to the long list of victims Of
white lightning" Within three
hours aftersMr. Campbell had drank
the vile stuff he was dead. We say
"vile stuff" because it is presumed
he drank white Lightning" as he
replied, when asked what was the
matter, that he had "been struck by
lightning"
Mayor Badon said that MIR. Camp
bell came to him at 6 D. m. Tuesday
to engage car to take him to Fol
som, where he wanted to inspect
some timber or ties for Mr.. Camp
That Mr. Campbell then left and went
to supper. 1t is said the. he also
bought some Christmas presents to
take home-scarf pins.
Mr.. Campbell afterwards counter
manded his order for car, stating
that he had made arrangements with
Mr.. Camp to meet him at Folsom and
that he was going over on the even
ing train about o'clock.
When Mayor Badon again saw Mr..
Campbell it was about twenty min
utes to Z O'Clock and Mr. Campbell
was so drunk that he did not ,remem-
ber that he had countermanded his
order for a car and proceeded to re-
cite the fact again. When asked
what was the matter, he replied, 30,
I've been struck by lightning" He
was unable toa put ON his overcoat
and Mayor Badon helped him on
with it and took him by the arm and
assisted him to the depot and put
him on the train when it stopped at
the depot. Mr.. Campbell could not
hang on to his. grip, and when he
dropped it Mayor Badon picked Il up
and carried it for him. Mr.. I'll. B.
Pruden, who was going on the same
train, said he would take care of
MIR. Campbell as fan as the Praden
place and that he would place him
in charge of the f1agman when he
left the train
Mr.. Campbell fell asleep as soon
as he was seated and must have re-
mained in stupor until he reached
Folsom, as when Mr.. Camp met the
train he was unable to wake him up. !
Mr.. Camp called DR.. Jones to his az
sistance and it. was decided that 1t
was best not to move Mr. Campbell,
but that it would be better to handle
the case in the car. So the car was
put on the siding and Mr. Camp
bell was given the best of attention
up to the time of his death, which
occurred about 9 p. m.
Coroner Bulloah says that DR.
Jones report. gave the cause Of death
as acute alcoholism. 1.
Mr.. Campbell had on. his person
bottle Of medicine prescribed by DIR.
BARNARD of New Orleans. Mr..
Campbell's brother, who came oyer
for the body, which had been pre-
pared for burial by the Poole under
taking establishment, Is said to have
stated that his brother had been
warned by the doctor not to. touch
liquor, as it was dangerous for him
to do so in his condition of high
blood pressure, for which he was be-
ing treated.
1t is not known where Mr.. Camp
bell got the white Lightning"

fitted with camping necessities and
conveniences for travel The trip
was started from Los Angeles about
the middle of summer, and all the
sights worth seeing were taken in.

BADLY BURNED

Mr. Camp of Folsom, together with
some employees working in the tim
ber, were sitting around a camp fire
Thursday night when one of the men
fell asleep and rolled over until one
leg was thrust into the fire. Mr..
Camp sprang quickly to the mans
assistance, but before he could be
pulled out the leg was badly burned.
The name of the man is not given
