Correspondence.

HAAsvILLE, LA, Dec. 9TH, 1891.
Editor CoURIER.-While the weather has, OF
late, been somewhat unsettled and at times O
little disagreeable, yet, the farmers appear TO
be pushing work all along the line. we note
that some of our foremost farmers and plan
tiers have, for several days past, been break
ing up land preparatory for next years crops.
There is considerable cotton in the fields
waiting to be gathered. After all said, the
cotton WELD in this section OF the country mas
been a very good one, with little cause to
complain of anything more than the low price
for which the staple is selling at to-day.
The cane yield is above what was expected
earlier in the season. The sugar mills, IN this
parish, are making good time and fine grades
of sugars.
We Fad some agitation in regard to grow
ing rice next wear, and / expect that q num-
Der of planters on Bayou Beufw will plant rice
next season.
What we really need is more factories, bet
ter school buildings and schools for the edu-
cation of the masses.
Central sugar factories are in demand, here
and there over the country, which would
canse a diversity in planting and prove 6ene,,
fetal to all. Every available acre of land
that could be spared would be planted in
cane, if there were factories of capacity large
enough to work the cane produced, giving
employment and remunerative wages to the
working classes.
Yes. gentlemen, the country stands to-day;
more in need of factories and schools than OF
so much mixed politics.
Peace, quiet. contentment and industry,
coupled with steady work, good roads, school
buildings, churches and factories is what
makes a country.
Bnt we have said enough ON this point for
today. with permission for a few local per;
sonals we close. Capt. A. M. Haas departed
on the 4th inst, over the Texas & Pacific R
r for a short stay and rest in New Orleans
Messrs. Chas. Knoll, N. L. Earlich and Chas'
Haas of Haasyille, were in attendance at
grand ball given on the evening of the 4th
inst. at Mr.. Kelly's residence on the bayou,
and if reports are true Mr.. E., has evidently
got his heart entrapped in some true lovers
knot
The health of the country good. Everyone
busy and very little said of political matters

Shreveport Times: The outrageous and
scurrilous attempt to blame Governor Nc
Emery for Burke's shortage, is as false as it is
infamous, and will not have any weight with
any man of honor or fairness. 1t will only re-
bound upon the heads of those attempting
the line of the defamer and ~villiier. Had
Governor McEnery been half as bad as the
seurrilous attacks of some of the tso-cal!edl
Adams organs claim, it would be strange that
Governor Nichols should have appointed him
to the supreme bench of the State, a position
of the highest dignity and honor, one which
in it's position stands far above all partisan
passions, far above the executive office, mas.
much as it represents the highest appeal of
the people, the bulwark of civilization-the
law. If Judge McEnery was corrupt, if he
had winked at Burke's Gefalcation, as the
Adams papers insinuate, then must they treb-
ly damn the man who placed him upon the
| supreme bench. Such, however, was not the
case. Governor Nichols knew that s. d. Nc
Emery was a true, upright and an honorable
man a man fitted by legal lore and i~ntellec-
tual qualities to fill the position-as such he
appointed him, and this very act should in it.
| self be a refutatiGn of the discordant howls
and snarls of the veaemous organs which have
endeavored to assail him.

not one of them would ever forget what the

Welsh Crescent When the Nichols crowd
aetuated by a desire to humiliate their enc
mics and led on by their own ambition to do
something to win the plaudits of the people,
failed to catch the willy Burke, is it any won
der that he was not detected by McEnery,
who esteemed him as a friend 1t must be
aforementioned. too, that at the time OF Nc
Enery's connection with Burke the major was
a prince in the estimation OF a majority OF the
people of Louisiana. but his star was on the
wane aud he had fallen under the ban of sus-
picion when the Nichols crowd took him in
| hand and shined up his spotted reputation by
| giving him a coat of investigation gliding.
The people of Louisiana have never held Nc,
Emery accountable for Burke's steasings, and
they have been charitable enough to overlook
the failure of Governor Nichols to catch the
thief. They have been just to McEnery ana
generous to Nichols, and it certainly comes

and attempt, by false statements and faulty
reasoning, to cast the blame of it upon a man
who is above reproach. Such a proceeding
