The Exact Condition of the
Crops in st. Landry Parish.

From long conversation we had last
Monday with Mr.. Octave Fontenot, our
worthy Parish Assessor, who has just
been pretty much all over the parish,
we can speak more advisedly as to the
true condition of our crops in general.
The cotton crop, he assures us, is
beautiful beyond precedence, and pick
ing is progressing at a lively rate every
where. The older cotton has suffered
somewhat from the effects Of the late
protracted rains, which will, of course,
shorten the yield. But, he says, the
young cotton-by this, we understand
the last planting-will more than make
up for any loss sustained by the older
growth. He says, Moreover, that he can
not see how the smaller planters are to
manage to pick out the heavy crops
they have on hand.
The corn crop is large and heavy, and
saved beyond all peradventure. A great
deal of fodder has been damaged by
the rains, but he thinks an ample sup
ply has been secured to meet all require
ments until next season.
The potato crop is a booming one,
and we expect the market will soon be
glutted with them, as more have been
raised this year than are actually needed
for home consumption.
Peas, pumpkins, ETC., will be plentiful
this fall, for large crop Of them has
been made.
Mr.. Fontenot says that it is indeed
surprising to see the large number of
small negro farms scattered all over
the parish. They all have fine crops
the industrious ones, we'll understood
and seem to be well contented and
getting along happily and prosperously.
He says that the negroes are purchasing
small bodies of land nearly every day,
and evince determination to go right
ahead and do the best they can for
themselves. AS long as they stick to
this laudable determination, they need
have 10 fear for the future. With a
thrifty agricultural population of blacks,
added to the large agricultural popula-
ton of whites that we already have, st.
Landry is destined in the near future to
become the banner cotton and corn
parish in the State, to say nothing OF
stock and stOck-raising.

A word to the voters of the fourth con-
gressionaI district. 7 have for some time
noticed some indifference by many about
casting their votes in the presidential and
congressional election, as none of their per-
sonal friends were to be beaten or elected,
and they therefore staid away from the
polls and will call to your memory few
important events, to illustrate to you the
great importance Of voting, which have
preserved in MY scraps of such important
events. Many years ago Rev. NJ. Morton
was elected governor of Massachusetts, by
one vote, and when he issued his proclama-
tion he read it himself, and at the end of it
he quoted the words that were so beautiful
that they were made tho motto for that
state---"God Save the Commonwealth Of
Massachusetts" And one other instance
which is yet fresh in my memory. as we'll
as historical fact In one of the counties
in Indiana, long years ago, one man was
Indifferent whether to GO and vote or go to
mill. Finally be went 0Dd voted a demo-
cratic ticket. and democrat vas elected
by one vote TO serve in the state senate,
aad that legislature had to elect United
States senator, and by that vote alone
Mr.. lIarrigan, democrat, was elected as
U. S. senator. IIo was made president of
the senate. and when the question came
before that body as to the annexation Of
Texas it was a lie vote, and Mr.. HaT;ipan,
giving the casting vote, the great state Of
Texas was annexed aud that measure be-
ing carried it brought on the Mexican war,
which ended in favor Of the United States.

promise. Now, from that man deciding 10

Ed. RECORD: As the I'd of November
approaches, it behooves every democrat
in Arkansas, and especially in the fourth
congressional district to begin to make
up his mind to vote, and to vote intelli-
gently--yote for the interests of his coun-
try and for the advancement of the best
interests Of the district Look at the pres
ent aspect of the political field in the dis
trict Col. Murphy, with the assistance
of James Torrans, of Little Rock, is mar
tialing the radical forces for the contest
in the congressional race, and they say,
sowing to a division in the democratic
ranks, and the unpopularity Of its eaudi-
dates" they think they can elect a con-
gressman in this district Are we going
to look supinely on and see them carry
their design into effect? Some of the pa-
pers in the district are advocating con-
vention, while others call on the people to
center on Gtnter or Peel, without con-
vention. We think it too late to talk of a
convention. A convention called now
would not represent the voice of the de-
mocracy of the district. The farmers are
too busy with their crops to turn out to
township or county conventions, and
without them We can have no district con-
vention.
The democratic vote in the district, as
cast at previous congressional elections,
is about Is, 200. The republican strength
in the district is estimated at between
5000 and $500. Now, what is to hinder
Mr.. Murphy from standing a chance, and
a good chance, too, Of election, if the
democratic vote is 30 equally divided be
tween Messrs. Gunter and Peel? Here's
Bill Jones votes for Peel, Ike Smith for
Gunter, and Augustus Brown sticks in a
long one with the hero of the returning
board on one end and Mr.. Murphy on the
other, and SO on. Allowing 1900 for Peel,
and 500 for Gunter, Murphy will receive
every one of the 9,3O0-and don't you for
get t-giving him majority of six aun-
dred over the foremost of his opponents.
No sir, we must not give them chance
for this. Col. Gunter il the man to center
on. He is the man that the democracy of
the fourth congressional district have
weighed, and have not found wanting
lie has more influence in the different de-
partments at Washington than any other
congressman from our state-so say both
republican and democratic papers, whose
representatives know and impartially pub
lish to the world. DEN .. Graf.

In the strong democratic counties the
republicans voted for the amendment. In
the negro counties they did not vote at
all. Where they voted squarely they yot-
ed FOR the amendment. The repub-
licans were anxious, for political effect
to have the amendment carried. but de-
sired to be understood as having defeated
it, hence their indirect and various ways
of voting. The amendment was beaten
by democrats, aided by few honest re'
publicans. Had the republican party
voted as they claimed to have voted, the
amendment would have been beaten by a
majority as large if not larger than the
republican vote. The truth is, and the
official vote will show it, the influence OF
the republican party was with the friends
of the amendment.-L. r. Gazette.
