There is much complaint OF sick.
ness in the Parish of Point Coupee,
bnt the ailments are said not to be
of dangerous kind, chiefly fevers.
Mr.. P. Sheppard was foully mur-
deled near lndiaa Bayou, 10 tie
parish of Vermilion on the I'd, by
Strickland Spell. The murderer has
been arrested aud jailed at Abbe>
vile.
The Governor pardoned qnite a
number of cOnvicts on the 4th,
whose terms had partly expired,
and whe had been strongly endorsed
by prominent official for executive
clemency.
Sol Price, the last of the murder
ers of Mrs. Henrietta Cole, and who
was arrested in st. Louis, has ar
rived at Plaquemine in charge of
Detective j. j. Grow. He will be
sent to keep company with the three
dispatched July 31s: to Pluto's do.

On Tuesday last, in New Orlea rs,
there was enacted q most terrible
tragedy, in which young and hand.
some octoroon was literally carved
into pieces by her paranour and
nominal husband, who after the
murder, finding escape impossible,
as the cries Of the victim of his jea.
lousy had attracted . large crowd
near the house, cut his own throat.

gives full account of the execution
on Friday 3lst, Of the three mur.
derers of Mrs. Cole of Plaquemine
last winter, as well as much Of their
history generally. George Wilson,
the chief murderer, seems to have
been, by his own confessions, q fend
of the darkest die. His assistants,
Charles Davis, Sol Price and Ma

New Industries in the South.

Since the first settlement of the
Southern States. they have re-
NAMED almost exclusively devoted
to agricultural pursuits. The mild
ness Of the climate, the fertility of
the soil. and the uee of a species OF
labor better suited to the field than
the machine shop and factory, all
tended to estrange the tastes Of our
people from the bustling life of the
manufactures and confine them to
the simpler aud more peaceful pur'
suits of tilling the soil and stock
raising. But with slavery wiped
out aud labor scarce and unreliable,
the more intelligent and energetic
portion Of our people have found it
necessary to cast about for other
fields wherein to lay the foundations
of q future prosperity. Factories
for the conversion Of the raw mates
rial into useful fabrics have within
the past few years multiplied with
astonishing rapidity and the indica
tions are that in the near future the
bulk Of the cotton crop will he
|suosksd up. In tho nssshborhooi Of
it's production, and the manufnc
tnred textiles and not the raw MAJ
terial be distributed over the world.
Another industry likely to equal
If not OvershadOw that of cotton in
all Of it's ramifications is that Of the
minerals. Iron and coal cover i'm.
mense areas in the South, and their
development as industries has only
began within few years past.
1t is now evident that Alabama
can make iron cheaper than any
other part of the world, and by the
use of the latest discoveries can
place on the market a first class art.
icle of steel at but slight advance
over the value of iron.
There are various other sections
where iron abounds under very sim
liar advantages for cheap utiliza>
tion. As iron and steel are destined
to drive wooden vessels from the
ocean and perhaps from use almost
entirely, and we have every facility
for the construction of the messen.
gers of commerce, and leviathans of
modern warfare, it may fairly be
presumed that at no very distant
day, those great Industries will be
in full blast in the New South.

VOLUME I--NUMBER 81.

There is quite q squabble going
on in New Orleans as TO who fired
the first shots at the memorable fight
between the Citizens and Kellogg's
police rufIians, on the l4th Septem-
Der. 1t seems pretty clear that the
Police did the first shooting and
equally rs clear that they did the
first and best running But had the
citizens opened the ball, they would
have only done what they had q
right to do under the circumstance
and the only thing to be regretted
about the matter is that they failed
to wipe ont the last rascal of the
crowd and with them their Infamous
chief, Billy Pitt.
That the corn crop will be q most
abundant one is conceded fact,
but we can hardly credit some of
the stories and prophecies made. 1t
is now said that in the nelghboring
parish of vermilion offera are made
to dispose Of tte products Of the
fields tor twenty-five cents per bar
rel, and our people look forward to
the time near at hand when it will
be offered on our streets for forty
and fifty cents. These things may
come to pass, but just where the
profits of the hard. worked producer
will come in at such prices is some.
thing we cannot see.
Town Talk smiles serenely over
the change Of Federal officials In
the State, and the substitute Of
good Democrats for old Republican
hacks. Badger and Smythe, Pinch
back and Souer have been relegated
to political ebscority. and quietly
slowed away in the tomb Of the Re-
publican Capulets, and their re.
mains have been inscribed by their
successors In Office yeqwiescat IN pace.
The people Of Louisiana, outside Of
the little ring Of carpet baggers and
scallawags, are not likely to put on
the emblems of mourning over the
change.
Morgan Mclaughlin and John
Cumberland, who conspired with
three other fiends to wreck train
near Shreveport last spring, filed
with excnrsionists, aud whose dia-
bolical scheme WIS frustrated by
the passage Of freight train in ad.
vance Of the passenger train, have
been tried and awarded the highest
penalty of the law, wit: five
years 10 the penitentiary. It is to
be hoped the next legislature will
enact q law making all such at.
tempts at wholesale slaughter, puns
ishable with death. The intention
to commit :he most horrible Of
crimes is manifest In the act. The
deed, cool and premeditated, and :
whether successful or not, merits
and should receive the utmost %.
verify accorded the blackest Of
crimes As well expect to extln.
guish great fire with . bucket Of
water or wet blanket, as to curb
the helIish depravity of fiendish
natures when agged on by cupidity.

THE ARk,s conNRR STONE.
The venerable Monument Found By Work
mSn fastsrday.


Two or three days since when the work.
men engaged in tearing down the old City
Building reached the foundation at the
northeast corner Of the building an active
search was made for the corner stone con.
tanning the customary box Of papers and
other Articles, eaid 10 have been placed
at that point, bat the search was fruitless,
and II was supposed that the old residenta
who claimed to have been present in the
capacity Of ever present and noisy small
BOYS when the stone was laid, were either
oil their bases 90 to the location or else
that the stone had been mysterioualy
spirited away or never laid at all.
Yesterday Daniel D. Ingrabsm and
John o'Nefll, both well known residents
OF the North End, determined to make
another search for the missing stone.
They poked about in the rubbish Tor some
time, and carefullyexaminsd the stones Of
the foundation. At last they discovered
what might be called an inner wall, and
in this they found the cornerstone. This
inner wall was In reality the main founda.
ton wall Of the "Ark," but when the ad.
dition to It was built, that part occupied
in late years by the lieutenant Of police,
the foundation for 1t covered the face oil
the cornerstone.
Opening the stone they found an OBJ
long lead box about six inches deep
and four inches in dimension In
both other directions. 1t was still sealed
as 1t was when put away long, long years
ago. The color had changed to a reddish,
gray and there were incrustations on a
portion Of the box. Underneath the box
was an old fashioned, large copper cent
bearing the date 1926, that being the year
in which the stone was laid. The coin was
black with age and the mould oitime. Both
itand thebox were turned over by the gen
tlemen who found them TO Mayor Grub,
who placed them in the window Of his
jewelry store, where they were looked al
by large number Of people. In the neal
future It is the purpose to have a joint
session Of the two branches Of Council
and at that time, in the presence OF the
city dads, open the curious old box.
