The true friend to Louisiana
is the man who Lives at home
thereby insuring our indie
pendence of other sections to
the extent of his individual in
dependence of Western pro-
ducers generally. For all solid
worth or practical purposes,
we would not give an acre pea
patch, or one bale of home
made hay, for a whole ream of
frothy resolutions and belli-
cose "whereases," etc. Such
stuff never made a State or its
people truly great. If you
mean business, and are patri-
otically inclined, leave Yankee
whisky alone, and utilize your
spare hours in harvesting crab
grass to feed your stock on
this winter, and thereby cheat
the "blasted Yankees" out Of
the money you annually send
them for hay, corn, oats, gosh
on butter, condensed milk, etc
! The GOOSE that lays the gol
den egg should keep it at home
otherwise she justly suffers TO

The nominee of the Virginia
Conservatives for Governor, in
a letter addressed to Gen. Ear
ly, who opposed him in the
convention, says: 81 shall be
every inch a Governor, and
shall, SO far as l might know
how, dispense impartial, scru-
pulous and fearless justice to
all interests and men. 1t is
very gratifying to me that,
while all sorts of representa-
tive men and their friends
have communicated with me,
not one of them sought, and
all of them have disclaimed
seeking any pledges whatever
at my hands. In no event will
l be the property of any friend

An INDUSTRIAL VICTORY
The Charleston News reports
that the Southern cotton mills
are working full time and ma
king money. They elaine to
have learned that yarn can be
manufactured in South Carroll
Ia, shipped to the North, and
sold there at a net profit of
five cents a pound, after deduct
ing commission and other eX~
pences; and that a certain class
of cotton goods sent North can
be sold at a profit of ten cents
a pound. Yarns have been
shipped and sold in Manches-
ter, England, alta profit,of -four
and a quarter cents a pound
The News therefore advises
the Northern manufacturers to
send their machinery down
South and establish cotton
mills.

a Garden Spot.
From the Crescent City.l

l
No other state in the union,
we verify believe, can offer adj
to the skillful farmer
to those of our own.
Nowhere does the soil yield
more bouhtifully in profitable |
products; and nature has Law
ishly provided navigable
streams, ensuring 10 an enter
prising people cheap and rap
id transportation to and from
the markets. Our agriculture
is yet in its infancy; oar wealth
is not half determined; but we
continue plodding along in the
same, beaten track Of our ans
cestors, with only the innova-
ton of steam in our sugar mills,
and patent plows to mellow
the soil. There is a great
something yet needed to give
agriculture a proper impetus.
And we believe that something
to be intelligent interested la
bor-laborers who work under
their own vine and fig tree,
without overseers, a cabin I'D a
row, or a lord in the mansion;
laborers who are not mere ma
Chimes, stimulated only by i
monthly pittance or a weekly
ration, but who enter gener-
ously into competition with
their neighbors in the effort to
make the home cheerful, and
the soil to minister to their
wants; laborers who read, and
think, and study and invent,
and not mere imitatorS or fol-
lowers of the routine of others
When such a class of labor,
ers can be either ready or i'm.
ported, Louisiana, with al
the fruits, cereals and staples
known to America, may be.
come the garden spot of the
Mississippi valley, a land Of
snug cottages, factories and
Gontentment, and the receiver
and exporter of central Amer.
