White Labor in the South.

The impression, like many other or
roneous opinions regarding the South
ern States, largely prevails abroad,
that this section, on account OF cllmat-
ic conditions, is not we'll suited to
white labor, in the cultivation OF its
fialds. Upon this subject the Bayou
Sara Industrial Neacs of a recent date
has the following:
The writer has had large and va
ried experience in the employment OF
different races in severe manual labor
during the past twenty years, and has
ever found that the white man who alb
stains from stimulating and intoxica-
ting drinks, and from excessive indul-
gence in animal food, eau do fairly
good work the year around,s lin the Gulf
State, but that those who use stinu-
lants freely cannot endure. AS to ma
larial Influences which are supposed to
abound pye-eminently in the South,
that is equally au exploded theory, so
far as the high lands Of the Gulf States
are concerned. One can load up with
malaria more effeclually in one nj ght
on the banks of the Hudson river than
in six months on the high lands of the
South. The river bottoms also OF H.
linois, Indiana and Ohio, do not COM
pare with the Gulf States in exemption
from malarial influences. Sunstrokef
under the fierce rays of Northern
summer sun is a result to be reasona'
bly, expected during every hot wave
that sweeps the northern portions Of
the country, but it is as rare in thu
Gulf States as rabies in at the Norti
pole. The humidity of our Gull
breezes, that causes constant percepti
BILE and imperceptihle perspiration
preserves the physical Temperature
from the deadly extremes that caus
the coup de solcil, and produces com
, fort amidst the most fragrant exposur
J, OF the suns rays on our breezy hlSh
lands. That a negro can stand NOR
heat under a tropical or semi-tropics
sun than white man is not under dis
cussion, as it is an admitted fact, base
on his physiological construction; th
point is, can white man work, an
+ work pro6tably, under our sum- An
(; we say that that fact is affirmativel
b established beyond doubt, and pa
!, all controversy, and to such degre
$ that in arguing the resooroes and af
vantages Of the Gulf States, as an a!
!, ricultural country, soited to all race
: we of the South, forget to mention
1t White labor is more and more brougl
g into play on the farms of the Gu
J, States and is more and more soug
II after, on account of the success u
s. tending its introduction.

The Verdict Unanimous.

tiers as the very best remedy. Every bot
tie sold has given relief in every case.-

of rheumatism of ten years standing"
Abraham Hare, druggist, BellevIlle, Ohio,
affirms ''The best selling medicine l have
ever handled in my 90 years experience,
is Electric Bitters." Thousands OF others
have added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric Bit

Says the Colfax Chronicle of Sat
urday: Since publishing the call for
a railroad meeting in Colfax to-day,
we have reliable information that the
line of the proposed road is fixed to
cross at Alexandra. and that stone for
the bridge at that point is already be-
+ ing provided. President Wheclock
says the route will not be changed.
We regret to learn that the good for
tune of Pineville and Alexandria has
been secured in our discontinue, bu,
have the utmost confidence that a road
will yet run in close proximity to the
route indicated through North Louisi
ana, as the traffic and wealth to be
developed is so great it is bound te
receive substantial recognition from
railroad men at an early day.
The State Board of Education, a
q recent session in Baton Rouge
adopted new set of books for publ,
schools throughout the State. Th'
board by resolution require the use o
text books adopted and appointed
| by Governor Nichols, Superintendent
Breaux and Col. Garrett with powe
to select any books in the grades tn
contractors may fail to furnish. Mon
roe, Shreveport, Natchitoches, Bato1
Rouge, New Orleans aud Alexandra
were selected as depositaries. TIL
books selected are to be used in tn
!. public schools of tue State exclusivel
and it is made the duty of the variou
, superintendent, under the direction o
/, the State Superintendent of Education
to enforce the introduction and use {
, the said books absolutely.

The general impression in r. rail,
way circles is that work on the 6onla
road from Alexandra up through the
Ouachita country to connection WIN
the Arkansas Valley road, will not be
commenced before next October as
there are several important surveys to
be made before construction force
can be put in the field. The report
that this road will not be built at all
is laughed at by railroad men, who
say that Mr.. Gould is compelled tt
build this line in order to develop I'M
mense tracts of land which he owns
between Alexandria and the Arkansas
State line New Orleans States.

Tho property taxpayers of til,

Tho property taxpayers OF the
Town of Arcadia, held an election on
the gath nit. to see whether they would
vote a 6 mill tax to the Alexandra,
Arcadia and Fort Smith railroad which
resulted in an almost unanimous vote
for the mill tax, only one vote beng
east against the tax. This tax a;
amounts to not less than 1925, 900 with
a probability of $4,000 from respon-
siblo parties having also been oo-
tanned in favor of this road. All ar
rangements necessary are being made
for the commencement of work at an
early date. This road will open a
new country, as it passes through a
country that promises to make one Of
the best paying roads in the South.

placed under the civil service rules to take
effect March l5. President Harrison at the
request Of the civil service commission
modified the order extending the time to
May |. That date, it is understood, will
remain as fixed, after which no one who
desires a position in the railway mail ser
vice can be appointed without first having
passed the examination prescribed by the
commission. The president says, however,
that in justice to good men who in the rast
four or five years have been removed with
out cause, he will SO amend the order of
President Cleveland as to allow the old
employee within that period to be rein
stated. Men now in the service will not
have 70 pass an examination.

the bill for this session. The bill would
undoubtedly have passed both houses.
