Shreveport, the hustling city of
North-west Louisiana, has put up t
more money than any town in the
State in getting railroads and -man
ufacturing enterprisea: to come to that
city. There is now to be built
there the largest compress in the
world and also a furniture factory.
Nothing like push.
The President has appointed Col.
Amos S. Stiekney, corps of engi

A special of the 6th from New
Yo-k says that according to cables
and forecasts by the steamship cornm
panies, 40,000 Italian immigrants
will have arrived in the United
States by the end Hof Miy: The
immigration this season is unprece
dented. Of the total of about 50,
000 who will have arrived at this
port in the six weeks ending May
11, nearly one-half will be Italians.
Thbe males are coming in a prepond- I
erenee over the females of about
two to one. The grand total of
immigrants last year was 448,572.
The purchase of the ocean is now
what is said that J. P. Morgan has
aecomplished. It took over $12,
000,000 to buy the Atlabtic Trans
port and Red Star lines, coanssting
of 100 or more vessels. It is also
said that he will build a fleet of
passenger vessels on a scale of mag
nificence far beyond anything at
tempted by transportation com
panies. Travelers to whom money
is no object are to be eoasidered.
Suits of rooms are to replace the or
dinary steamer cabins and' stats
roomns.' Only 6Est pamengers are
to be carried and the cheapest pas

T'rhe City of NewOrleans has had
its share of public gatherings lately.
*'he Methodist Conferteite, the arig
e'st ever held, where tBere were peo
ple in attendance from p early every
part of the world, closet its session
last week. The Baptist Conven
tion has been going on for the past
ten days, with almost as may in
attendace. The great street fair,
the horse show, and many other
things have also been going on.
There is no city tn the Union to
compare with New Orleans forits
hospitality and good cheer to the
stranger. It isan ideil place for
autcli gatherings to take place, and
especially at a season of the year
when the city looks the prettiest.

Below we- pt ish a letter on -the
good rodi.g ,ijt, ddressed to the T
Frhklin Sum by Mr. Hicks. wbo rep- fort
resented tbattparish at the Good Roads C
Conventionibeld in New Orleans at
the close, of last month. Mr. Hicks will
shows in his letter that good roads can prey
be built and maintained at- very little
cost with the improved machinery now 1
in use. The matter of public roads is 2
of paramoont interest, and now that ron
we have seen what can be done, the
good roads question ought.to be solved. phi
)Ve should take advantage of the op- 4
portunity, and make the start imme- 0
diately, without further delay, in the ora
direction of improving our road ways. sou
Mr. Hicks is his letter to the Sun in e
what he saw at New Orleans and of
Natchez, says : ug
With pleasure I represented our par- gra
ish at the Good Roads Convention held
in New Orleans on the 29th and 30th
ult. It was well attended by repre- of
sentative delegates from nearly every
parish in the State, avd I firmly believe ep
this move will prove beneficial in se- On
curing better roads in our country. bre
and especially in our own parish, me
where, if properly constructed, we can bui
have as good dirt roads as can be made .
in any part of the south. of
I saw in New Orleans a very tough litt
proposition in the way of building a to
mile of road in the heaviest .'buck
shot" soil or deep black land, all done
by machinery drawn by mule power
which, when completed. was up to dia
date in every particular. I was much mo
interested in this great work. tat
I spent two days with the Good
Roads people in Natchez, consisting of
the President and Secretary of the Na
tional Good Road Association, Senator
Dodge, representing the U.S. Govern
ment with headquarters in Washing
ton City, engineers, and agents repre
senting marchinety and reporters for
the press. The train consisted of sev
eral cars containing all kinds of dirt rml
moving machinery for both horse and adj
steam power-ditching and rock crush- f
ing machinery. I1vitnessed while there de,
the construction of a piece ot road' in ph
the high hills surrounding Natchez Ja'
which was tiled where needed for
drainage, and will be coated with
gravel later on. The trouble in the hill we
country is to prevent washes, which
makes these roads hard to maintain. an
With us it is quite different, as the all on
important part of road building is
drainage. Po
An old road way in a level country vet
(such as we have) can be constructed on0
at an actual cost, not exceeding $35 pet
per mile with the requisite implements for
as follows: 1 Brinley road plow, an
SAustin grader and roller, the cost of for
which would not exceed $700. It is to
thus seen that we can construct an up
to-date road at a very reasonable cost. 18
Once built, the minimum cost of main- on0
taming would be small. The small tee
bridges, not to exceed 10 or 12 feet in
length, could be made on the ground ar3
of concrete, consisting of two parts of on
i gravel and 1.part of Portland cement, fix,
on the same order as an arch of an un- tin
derground cistern is built. All these
nimprevements are now in tbe reach of pet
the people. the
The question is: "Have we the the
progress to join in this great onward sal
movenient and have thoroughfares that qu:
we will be proud of in the near fu- tir
ture?" Methinks I hear a silent toned hin
voice fron our grand little parish, cle
"We have." Then let us at once fall
in line and march in the procession of the
progress. arc

The State of Kansas has a capital
punishment law on her statute
books, but it provides that when a
man is convicted of murder in the first
degree he shall he taken to the State
penitentiary and confined for one
year, after which he shall he hanged,
upon the governor signing his death
warrant. Every Kansas Governor
has failed to sign such a warrant,
and the result is no one has been
hanged, and the penitentiary has
many such criminals within its walls,
for life.
