General Notes.

The Flower Brothers, of Bayou
Robert, are shipping their entire crop
of cane this year over the Watkins road
to the Calcasieu refinery, instead of
running their sugar mill.-Alexandrla
Town Talk.
Crowley Signal; Our District Court
adjourned on Saturday last, and quite a
number of cases were continued to the
next term of court in January. But his
honor the Judge gave all good oppor-
tunity of getting their cases through.
4 disastrous fire occurred at Lecompte
on Wednesday morning, Oct. Is, at
about o'clock, at which time the shin
gle mill of the Lecompte Lumber Com
pany was completely destroyed. The
mill and machinery was valued atabout
$4,000, and the insurance on the prop
erty was about $4,000. The principal
stockholders were Z. Y. Wcems. w. I.

Temperance.

Miss Belle KearDey, who made such a
favorable impression on our people last
spring, gave us another of her pleasing
lectures on Monday evening, It'll last.
Miss Kearney is State Organizer for
the w. c.. T. u, and the Union organ
lied by her at the time OF her first visit
gladly welcomed her return. This Union
now numbers about fifty members.
Although short notice of the lecture
was given, fair audience gathered to
hear this estimable lady speak on that
subject which is of such vital impor-
lance to our whole country, lhtemper-
ance. Miss Kearney gave us some re-
markable statistics regarding the great
amount of money spent each year In the
limited States for alcoholic drinks, that
shonld be used for the upbuilding OF our
nconle instead of their decentralization.
Her remark that more men are destroy
ed each year by drink than were killed
in the four years of the civil war, caused
n thrill of surprise to pass through her
audience. This fact should arouse the
interest of all thinking people, and this
Wholesale slaughter of our country's
hope and pride 10 speedily stopped. by
this fact she explained why so many
nvecations heretofore closed to woman
are now "opening their doors to her
reutle rressure.n Woman must be sup
ported, and since so many OF the So
called breadwiDners are incapaeitated
by alcoholics, she is forced to step TO
the front, and win Der own bread, ana
in many cases that of her entire family
At the close of the lecture the pledge
was signed by several persons, who thus
nromised to use their influence to ban
ish from our midst this curse-intem-
perance.
Miss Kearney speaks with great ease
and fluency her we'll rounded sentences
compel attention, and her plainly told
facts carry conviction. May it be our
good fortune to have her with us again
before many months. AURUM'

THE STRIKE IN NEW ORLEANS.
Both Sides Refuse to Recede from
Their Stand.

n. 0. Picayunc, Nov:s.
All the labor bodies were out yester-
day except the cotton organizations.
The retail dry goods clerks met last
night and decided not to strike. Inc
electric tIimmers worked yesterday.
The Mayor asked that the city be not
left in darkness, and the labor commit
tee agreed to allow the street service to
be kept up.
The Union freight handlers went out
at noon, the North Eastern and the
Mississippi Valley being the prInci-
pal sufferers. The paper hangers finally
eineers tried to strike, but We're threat
eDed with the loss of their government
certificates, and RETAINED. The Charity
Hospital made heroic effort to preserve
the gas supply, but failed. 1t offered to
furnish men, but the company feared
the risk. The Sugar Refinery closed
down entirely. Its pay roll last mouth
was over $4,000.
The Dist, let Assembly Knights of La
Dor, met last night and refused TO
strike.
The Merchants Executive Commit tce
received proifers of aid from the lum-
bermen, mill-owners brewers and piant-
els,
1t is said Governor Warmoth wrote
on behalf Of several planters urging
frmness, as defeat would mean unions
all through the State, and CONVENTION
of fertile farms to grazing lands.
A resolution was sent to the Mayor
asking that he use his utmost endeaVorss
to cause the immediate running OF
street cars, and the continuance OF gas,
electric and water supply.
Mavor FitxnatricI< answered that his
power extended to preserving the peace.
He could not force men to work but he
| would protect those that did work.
The Sugar Exchange also wrote to
the Mayor showing there we're 10000
barrels of sugar Oh the levee subject tt
great risk and asking protection, offer,
ing to furnish special officers IN case OF
insufficient police force.
| The Mayor agreed to commission the
men. Later u meeting OF the Police
Board unanimously authorized the May
or to increase the force as much as
needed.
Gov. Foster said he would interview
the Mayor this morning. The situation
is grave and he hoped for an amicable
adjustment, but should rash and intern
perate counsel prevail and lives and
property be endangered and the peace
of the community be disturbed he would
unhesitatingly discharge the duty i'm:
posed on him by the constitution and
laws of the State.
There were several cases of violence
Yesterday, mainly directed against the
sugar refinery employees. In one CASE
pistol shots were fired at a cab holding
five employees. In none of the cases
were there any arrests.

Holding Rice for Better Prices.

The crowding of the market with
rough rice has had the effect predicted
to still further depress prices. Unfor-
tunately, most planters have been OBJ
liged to ship on account of maturing
obligations, but we are glad to note that
where able - noticeably in Western
Louisiana many are holding t heir
rough rice for higher prices while others
are having it milled Oh toll, and are
shipping the clean as nearly as possible
direct to consumers. That is a good
idea.-Sugar Bowl.

A FOREIGN RIFLE.
something Of Interest to membe1

Something OF Interest to Members
of Company SEAs' and Others.
Members Of Company "a" and their
numerous friends will be interested in the
information that American inventors are
protesting bitterly against the action of the
small arms board at Washington in recon-
mending the adoption of foreign rife for
the use of federal and state troops. The
rifle in question is the invention of Herman
Johannes Krag, superintendent of the rifle
factory OF Norway, and Erick JOrgensen,
battalion armOrer of Norway. AS a result
the war department has been flooded with
letters from disappointed American invent
ors and their friends urging that the boards
recommendation be not approved
Many OF the American inventors claim
they did not have sufficient time to prop
erly perfect their work, and beg that the
board be recOnvened for the purpose of
considering the improvements which they
have made since their guns were tried, and
which, they claim, promise better results
than those obtained from the Krag-J Jorgen-
sen gun.
Others urge that the American guns
should be adopted regardless of the superb
orlty OF any foreign invention; while some,
who are not inventors, insist that the au-
thQutles should go on with the experiments
until an American gun, superior to every
other invention extant, is developed.
The ordnance and other army authorities
also much prefer an American invention,
but 1t is a question with them whether our
army should continue much longer with
The obsolete weapon, while all the other
hrstolass powers are equipped with modern
guns solely because an American has not
been able to produce the kind we want.
One American inventor has been prom
lsed thorough test of his gun before the
final decision.
