The narrow lanes for which Lafay.
cite parish is noted are rendered
much more so by the encroachment
of the Cherokee rose hedges, which
are 80 common in that section. In
many places they have so obstructed
the road that it is impossible for
one vehicle to pass another. We
are glad to see that at it's last meet.
ing the police jury Of that parish
adopted a resolution ordering the
president to bring suit against all
parties whose hedges obstruct the
road in case of failure to remove
the, same. Good.

Bro. Burkdalb of the Crowley
Signal, administers a eevere skinning
to one J. R. Logan, some malicious
snow digger who drifted down South
to Jennings, and in an Iowa paper
vents his spleen upon the country,
climate and people in sach a manner
and with a violent disregard for the
truth as to establish his reputation
as a liar and BLACKBOARD, without an
equal in the Union. A sample lie
,is the statement that it is utterly
impossible for all Of Calcasieu parish
TO raise a bushel of corn or . hog
that weighs more than thirty pounds.
The Signal makes = splendid show
ing for the parish Of Acadia by the
display of the many thousand dol.
lars worth Of rice, cotton, corn,
potatoes were raised last year, and
comparatively no money spent for
fertilizers. Logan will evidently
subside now if be has not already
'"hoofed it back to the North.
This is not q paradise exactly, but
people who work always find the
soil amply remuueratiye, as thou
sands can testify. -

While we strictly believe in giving
the devil his due, we don't like to
see anybody try to take an unfair
advantage Of him. 1t has been the
fashion Of late for certain newspa.
pers to give hail Columbia to the
present administration upon all oc.
casions, and all manner of pretexts.
OF late Attorney General Rogers
has come in for his share. The
checklist charge made against him
is that he is to blame because the
Supreme Court granted the Mealey
mnrderers a new trial. This was
granted, so says tie Supreme Court,
because Of an erroneous ruling Of
the trial judge in refusing to allow
certain evidence to go before the
jury, when the State had paved the
way to its admissibility. If anybody
is to blame then it is the Judge, and
no one else, unless it be the Supreme
Court itself, which manufactu ed
some law especially for the occasion
in the Ford case. and is now taking
off a little Of the pressure then put
on the accused party.

THE CRONIN CASE.
we Have Doubtless Had but the
BeHlnninK.

CHICAGO, October l7.-At ten o'clock
this morning Judge McConnelrs branch
| of the criminal court was called to order
and the court announced that the only
business to be transacted was the ap-
pointmcnt of a special bailiff to summons
avenire of men in the Cronin case. He
said that Carlan, who had been doing
that work, had resigned on account OF
i'll health. In Carlans stead the court
appointed Chas Bonney, young bust
ness man of American birth and ancestry
States Attorney Longneckcr says that
| baiif Carlan has made a statement o
| the circumstances under which he sum
moned two fixed venircmen, and that his
statement is perfectly satisfactory, and
exonerates him from all suspicion i'll the
matter. The excitement about the criminal
| building was so intense this afternoon
that it was found necessary to barrlcadc
the doors. John Graham, clerk in A. 5.
Trude's office, who is now under indict-
ment was arrested Sunday night, about
IL o'clock, and has been under lock and
KEY ever since He was the man who
was to put up money with winch to
bribe Jurors; and it is asserted that
Judge Longneckcr says that the evidence
against him is very conclusive. After
presenting indictments, the grand jury
adjourned for the attcrnOon; but the
States Attorney, SAYS the case by no
means ends with the present indictment,
| but will be very much more far reaching;
than the most sanguine can suppose.

was resumed from the vcnircmen sum-
moned by the new bailitl appointed this
morning.

S. b. Chase was chosen foreman. JudSC
Baker briefly addressed the jury, telling
its members that above all things they
must remember to observe strict secrecy ii,

observation. The Judge then read the
law to be enforced in case of the VIOLA
tion of the secrecy Ot the grand jury
room. Al three o'clock the grand jury
returned an Indictment against Ohm
Graham, clerk in lawyer Trude's office
as well as true bills against the six men
indicted Saturday.
A startling rumor is abroad to the et-
feet that John F. Beggs had made a full
confession which had disclosed to
the view of the jury the bribing
plot in all details. Said one of the States
attorneys assistants: "Baliitfs Solo
mon and Hawks and Tom Kavanaugh
have agreed to tell what they know; we
are sure therefore of reaching the head
and front of the conspiracy"

THE TOBACCO CROP.
The Largest and Finest Ever
Known in This Section.

Known In This Section.
In conversation with gentleman in a
position to be thoroughly familiar with
the tobacco interests in Western North
Carolina yesterday, a CITIZEN representa-
tive learned some things of interest to the
general public and to the farmers of this
section of the State in particular. This
gentleman informed us that the largest
tobacco crop, and the finest ever known,
has been safely housed by the farmers in
this and adjoining counties, and that
there is no doubt but that it will bring
more money than any crop ever sold by
our people. The crop i'll the tobacco belt
of middle Carolina and Virginia is short,
and already many enquiries are coming
i'll from prominent tobacco markets
looking to the purchase of our crops.
This demand has already been felt in the
stiff prices thus early paid on the floors
OF the ASheville warehouses, and it is
thought to be only an index of what is
to follow. On yesterday, our friend told
us, lot of tobacco was sold for $40 pei
hundred, for which the farmer would
have been satisfied to receive $50 before
placing it on sale. These are certainly ell
couragingly facts, and we trust that q
boutitul season is Just opening before oul
farmer friends.
