SIR-I have just received your COM
municatiOn of the 5th inst, informing
that Vigilance Committee in your
parish have proceeded, withoutjudge or
jury to try, and afterwards to arrest and
hang two of your citizens, under pretext
that they have my sanction for such pro-
ceedings, and You ask me il this be the
case.
In reply / have to say thatn no self con-
stituted committee acting outside0f the
law has had on will receive my sanction
or support to act in the punishment of
crime other than in aid of the legally
constituted civil authorities. Where the
civil authorities stand in need of the
aid of citizens to enable them to arrest
and punish criminals ] hope they will
promptly receive it; and TRUST that the
civil authorities will be Vgilant IN ar
resting, trying and punishing without
fear or favor any and all who violate
the law or Illegally interfere with rights
of any citizen. It is to these authorities
We must look for the enforcement of
law otherwise there is NJ responsibility
and no safety,
liz the civil officers will do their whole
duty and the well disposed citizens will
faithfully cooperate with alem crime

We deniedin last weeks issue that
lands can be prOfitably devoted to
cotton growing. We attempted to prove
this by showing q priOri that cotton Gull
ture OVercrOwdS the land with apopuIa-
ton it cannot support. go. a..t .le.a.
We now propose to show tins from
statistical facts. We will take jackson
parish as it was before the formation OF
Lincoln, the latter being too new for
statistics: ,.. al.
BY the census of 1870, jackson con-
tanned forty-one thousand acres of m
proved lands, and seven thousand SIX
hundred and fifty population. This
gives about five and q third acres for the
support of each individual. In the year
1910, the best cotton producing year
since the war, the average in the parish
was one hundred and twenty pounds of
lint cotton per acre. Multiply this by
five and one-third, and we have for the
support of each individual, six hundred
andforty pounds of cotton which at
fifteen cents per pound will bring ninety
sir-doIIaYs, Now, this is the, gross re-
ceipt, and the cost OF planting and cul-
tivatiOn is to come out of it.. Asa very
mild estimate, let this expenditure en-
gulf one-half, and we have left for the
support of each Individual, tortg-e ight
dollars iB money s.ttt@i.
Now here is the plain, unvarnfshed
tale, made out of figures that do not lie
| showing that Jackson, sparsely settled
as it seemed to be, was really over.
crowded and taxed beyond its capacity
for support.
And this is really the great cause Of
our financial difficulties, SO grievous az
to be acknowledged and groaned under
hy us all. There are too many of us tx
be supported by cotton growing. The
soil is oyer-burdened, and must be re,
lieyed either by q change of crop. or tht
removal ofsome of Interpolation. AND
one or the other is just as inevitable al
that the sun will rise Tomorrow
Our reason for presenting this matter
SO persistently to our readers just now is
that the time has arrived for determin,
ing what shall be done in another year
The decisive moment of our fate is npOl
US, We are Straightforward ,circumstan
ces grooming under debt, and it is alb
solutely necessary that something shall
tbe done. Our decision, be it good or b.
| II bad, will determine the future ant
our own FORTUNES.
We beg, therefore, that the reader vii
look upon the foregoing statements ii
sfacts0f the stubbOrnest sort, nottrumpeC
sup for purposes of novelty OF sensation
but that he may be warned in time anC
act wisely-EYienna Sentinel, Oct 81.
