Respect and Obey the Laws.
lRichland Beacon.l

lRichland Beacon.
Nearly alLthe crimes, stealing ex-
cepted, that are committed in our
country can be traced to two sources:
The use of intoxicating liquors and
the pernicious and lawless habit of
carrying concealed weapons, which
is a violation of law that will con.
tinue to be INDUCED in just as long
as our people continue to eneourag e
it by trying to conceal the fact from
the knowledge Of Grand Jurors and
the District Attorney. Wherever
people wilfully, persistently and
boldly violate the laws Of the conn
try . very low estimate is placed
upon human life and real worth of
character, and the standard of mo-
rality, virtue and refinement trails
in the very dust. It is the impera-
tive duty Of every good citizen to
use every effort to compel men to re-
spect and obey the laws.

Dogs.
[Morehouse Clarion. /

There are about three dogs for
every human being in this town. We
can conceive Of but one advantage
to be derived from their existence
and that is the sustenance they af-
ford the fieas. All night long the
dogs keep up one continuous, never
ceasing bow-wow, making night as
hideous as would million fog horns.
just why people will tolerate such
abominable and expensive a nui-
sance is what we should like to
know. All these dogs must be fed
at somebody's expense. There are
colored children in this town that
need bread and yet their parents
own as many noisy ours as children.
We think if the corporation would
impose a tax on every dog in it,
there would be healthy dimunition
Of dogs and a valuable saving of
good corn bread. Such a law would
be a blessing to the poor children of
Bastrop and an agreeable relief to
all of our ears. Times are too hard
to feed SO many vagrant, despisable,
mouthy purps. Let their presence
be made scarce by levying tax
upon every one.

Rather Strange.
INatchitoches Vindicator. !

/ Last week a sstax payer" of this
parish applied to railroad official,
high in authority, for payment for
alleged damages sustained by him
in running the railroad through his
lands. The damages claimed
amounted to $500, to which the tax.
payer in person and numerous other
taxpayers were ready and willing to
make oath. The courteous railroad
official suggested that the expense,
worry and time consumated in a
"new oath" would be saved by tax
ing the said taxpayers oath as given
to the Assessor a few weeks ago.
Taxpayer kicked like a "beef steer
of course, but the railroad official
was firm, and so Assessor johnson
brings out the oath when it was dis
covered that the property was as
sessed for one hundred dollars. Tab

The Cotton Crop.

The cotton crop for the year end.
ing September 1, 1877, was A, 4S5, 423
bales; for the year 1878, 4,S11,263
bales; for 1879, 5,O73, 531; for 1880,
5,757, 1897, and for the year ending
September l, 1881, 6,5S9,329 bales.
The great increase in production is
thus seen at glance.
The amount of American cotton
on hand September 9th, 1879, was
429, SOC bales; in samo date 1880,
735, 491, and on September 9, 1891,
was ], 130, 761 bales. We see here
the surplus crop makes a surplus at
the end of the year.
But still there is a great increase
in the amount consumed by the
manufacturers. Each year the fac.
tories increase and more yarn and
cloth is made.
Europe, including Great Britain,
$780, 900 bales in 1879; s, $50, 600
bales in 1880, and G, 1872, 600 bales in
1881, being an increase last year of
425, 900 bales.
The American mills have consum-
ed ], 915,O00 bales, an increase over
last year of 10000 bales. 1t is said
the coming year they will want still
more. They will need fully 6,OOO,-
600 bales of American cotton, and
the crop is short, very short. There
will not be enough cotton to keep
the mills going during the year.
Hence it is stated the price is there
fore bound to range very high be
fore the year is out.
