Wool.

Are our people aware that there is
money in wool. and that Rapides is
peculiarly adapted in more ways than
one to the rearing ofsheep. The fur
ther South you go, the great Henry
Clay once told us, the better sheep
thrive and fare, the better the NUT
ton and the purer the wool. We be-
lieve and know every word of this to
be true, and only wish every land
holder here could have it beaten into
him and some of his cotton notions
knocked out, and then forced to make
the fair trial. We love good mutton,
have feasted on it in the olden DAYS.
yet remember with relish what
choice, sweet, juicy and luxurious
"legs Of mutton" we have enioyed
here, and now live to think of these
past luxuries, and exhort our plant
ers to get at it again and on large
scale. The wool gathered alone will
pay, and leave the meat for profit.
We gather the text of this article
from an eye-sight and a handling we
had of a few clippings of wool from
a few sheep on the Lodi Estate.
Finer, purer and longer wool never
was gotten from Kentucky, and we
are sure it will command at least
ffty-fye cents in the New Orleans
market. We merely hint at this
thing as a bordering fact for our
people, which we think they ought
to construct into q paving one.

| THE ALABAMA INvEsTIG ArIoN,-J
S. Perrin, late Republican member
of the Legislature for Wilcox county,
testified rs follows before tue com
mittee now investigating the means
by which Senator Spencer secured
his election to the United States
Senate:
Troops were retained in Alabama
before the election, on the requisi-
ton of myself and others, it having
been understood that Spencer had ar,
ranged for troops to be put at the
disposal of Mayer and other revenue
officers, wherever intimidation was
necessary. These troops were ac-
companied by United States Mar
shals, who had fictitious warrants
with citizens names prominently
displayed, and shown to persons who
would inform. These were paraded
in various counties. l shot a hole
in my hat and reported that I mad
been attacked by Kuklux. T sent
troops to arrest the mythical assail-
ants. kept the troops as.long as l
could use them as political ma
chine. Our purpose was to secure
the Legislature at all hazards and
EJECT Spencer

the use of money to effect the same
purposes.

WHAT THE NATION DRINKS. - The
imported brandies, wines, cordials,
gin and other spirits for the year
ending June 80, 1874, had value,
duty included, of Sc, 100000. They
amounted in all to nearly 100000
gallons Of matt liquors. The impor-
ted liquors cost the consumer about
$l2,0Co,0o0: the native liquors cost
about $20O,000,0OO, and the malt H.
quors $200,00O,0OO more-a total of
little more than $400,OOO,00O, or
ten dollars to the population.
But as the number Of those who
drink is probably not more than s.
100000, the amount for each is $50
per annum, $3.50 a week, rs cents a
day as the average. The sum looks
large, but "nation of drunkards''
cannot be made on 25 cents a dav:
consequently, some drinkers must
get more than their share.

passed as a planting, farming and
stock raising country, with wood
lands, green and thick, and pasturage
not surpassed by the blue grass re-
gion of Kentucky, why is it that the
landholders and owners of the soil
here have almost failed as planting
and farming community? Well, we
believe in all charity that by this
time, they all know it and are now
bound to acknowledge the corn, and
there can be no use in our Haunting
it in their faces. We are Of them
with them, to the manor born and
begin to feel that they appreciate the
situation and henceforth will fall in
to line and keep pace to the new mu-
sic. Cannot these thoughts of ours,
which are solid and serious ones,
strike in on the vast numbers of
young men in the Parish, who are
more Or less hunting soft place to
squat down in, and not finding it
roam around loose till their best days
are squandered in criminal idleness
in search of what they can't all get?
This number increases annually by
natural increase and it is getting to
be frightful reflection to know how
it will all end. This increase which
in the South should be our boast,
and surely is our shield, should be
properly appreciated and turned to
advantage. Unlike old Horace Gree
ly we won't say to these young men,
go West, but on the contrary shout
to them in stentorian tones, stay
South, stay in Louisiana, remain in
Rapides.
But as we would thus shout advice
to them, we would have them remem-
Der that we mean business and stop
to their sowing of wild oats. The
few rambling articles we have crude
ly jotted down in this issue of the
Democrat, can afford for them pom
dering reflection and mould their
ways to better work than petty clerk
ships and political offices. The road
is broad, the chances good and with
the proper will, they will surely find
the proper way. We did not start
out to preach them q sermon, but
merely to induce them by our way
side jottings to look out for that be-
ginning which must, if fairly taken,
lead to a successful ending. Our
we'll meant words, crude though they
be considered at first blush, have
world Of wisdom in them and none
of our young men will be the losers
BY receiving them in the spirit they
Ire intended and given.
