LONDON, December "a. - Charges
that the European division of the

mercantile marine, are denied by the
executive offices of the board here.
Capt. J. W. Inglesby of Norfolk.
told the Cross-Atlantic that he found
the personnel of the Shipping Board
on this side was British. A high Off
cial of the board points out, against
this, that the expense of bringing
Americans over here for clerical posi-
tions is practically prohibitive. and
lean money here, while competitors
are paying in European. is an addi-
tional burden.
UndereIerks Are Enelfnh.
He says that though a considerable
number of the employees on this side
are British, they are all clerks and
in subordinate positions. The exec
utives are 100 per cent American, he
maintains, and the board runs its
Americans.
Inglesby's charges that the British
employees are using their positions to
discriminate against American ships
by favoring the British shipping in
terssts are fatty denied -

place to affect this policy who would
do otherwise.
Working for American Flag.
"Inglesby's report of the proposed
Anglo French -Norwegian-Canadia dian
combine of shipping companies to
compete with US for the markets of

thing else could. 1t shows we are
delivering goods for the American

NAY GET OIL REFIEERIES.

Several days ago there was
most interesting article published
in the Natchez Democrat, on the
visit of foreign and American
capitalists, to Vidalia in the inter
est of establishing oil refnerIes
and pipe lines here. 1t is re-
ported that their project VIII can
for the investment of many mil
lions of dollars, if it materiallzes.
The idea gathered from the BRIEF
statements the men made TO tne
Democrat reporter, was that pipe
lines from the big oil fields near
Shreveport, would be laid to VI
dalia. and big refneries put up
here. and the oil would be loaded
on sea-going vessels and carried
to Great Britain and the Dutcn
Governments. American capital
is also interested in the project
and from what we can hear, we
have reason to believe that their
report on the location and condl-
tons existing in Vidalia, to De
very favorable. A deep-water
channel to the Gulf will be nee
essary, and this can be had fer
a minimum amount of dredging
at Esperanza, we understand, ano
as Vidalia lies in a perfect line
from the oil fields, it is believed
that we may see this gigantic pro
iect pat under headway here.
What this would mean to Con
cordia Parish and Vidalia is almos'
bevond estimation. Thousands o.
people would be brought here
enormous pay rolls, property val
mes greatly increased, and man.
other advantages would accrue

the enterprise. the promoters ma

COTTON.

Cotton grows off faster when
planted on a firm seed bed than
when planted on a loose or
freshly prepared seed bed. A
handful or two OF nitrate OF
soda, mixed with each peck OF
planting seed just prior to.plant-
ing will materially assist in CIV
ing the young plants an early
start.
Much land planted to cotton
has failed to make maximum
yields on account of not being
thick enough. We would say in
Concordia parish cotton on four
foot rows, spaced from eight to
twelve inches in the drill would
be about the proper distances.
Recent reports from Expert
mental Stations indicate 10 US
that the medium and large boil
varieties of cotton, which are
heavy and early fruiters are SUI
perior to the small boil varieties.
These varieties are more easily
gathered and make longer sta
pies.
Good cotton seed are scarce,
and if you are in need, and have
mot ordered, better order early.
Yours very truly.

A GOOD ROADS SURVEY.

Louisiana in recent years has
spent millions of dollars for good
roads. But the work has been
more or less haphazard in char
acter, and it is generally agreed
that the results are unimpresslve
in proportion to the money ex-
pended.
This is one of ther reasons that
have led President Miller and the
Motor League to start Mr.. Stanley
Lemarie on an automobile tour
that is eventually to cover every
parish of the state. What he has
been directed to do is to gather
data for a comprehensive and
scientific program to be presented
to the Legislature, under Wnicn

road system which will make
every section of the state accessl-
BILE to all others and to the various
national highways.

be compiled for each parish will

We cannot refrain from attack
ing the policy of our officials for
not enforcing the laws in town,
with reference to hogs and goats
running at large. These animals
are causing serious damage, and
now that the spring gardens are
being started. it must be seen to
that hogs and goats are kept up
or killed. The law provides that
you may kill these animals when
they are damaging your garden
or yard if you are unable to cap
ture them otherwise. That's the
only solution we see OF the
problem, and when a few are
killed, the other ones will doubt
less be kept up. If Vidalia is go
ing to be a goat and hog range,
we say, let's turn the town over
to them, but if not. and no one
cares to enforce the law. because
Of fear of offending some one,
we suggest that you kill them
when they are marauding upon
your property.
