challenge to District Attorney Land,
and the challenge, as far rs we know,
has not been accepted. 1t has issued
a challenge to The PRoGREss, and the
glove. as all know, has been taken up.
1t has threatened the editor OF this
paper to ruin his business, and then
with personal violence. To these
he has time and again hurled
back his note of defiance. 1t says,
TIE PRooREss must be suppressed.
And why? HEART men of manhood;
hear it men of moral courage and
lovers of justice and fair play; hear
it fathers of children, before whom
you must set an example for life;
hear it mothers, whose greatest aim
is to preserve the purity and peace of
the household. 1t is because The
PROGRESS dared to expose the rotten
ness OF its influence, dared to call the
public's attention to its en-
croachments and influences in
our halls of justice, its influences
around the very "Reminiscences of
our city. During the excitement in
our fsctional strifes it had forced
its serpentine coils into our par
ish and city government, until
The PRocREss opened the public's
eyes to the fact that the pot-house
politicians were in such a state OF
boldness that they were almost ready
to demand our very manhood. And
because we raised our voice and re-
sisted the impudent demand, then we
must be suppressed. This was not
merely an insult to this paper, but it
was likewise a deep one to the peo-
pie, foul imputation on every good
MIN and woman in the parish, that
they would suffer such an influence
to stife that voice which had been
raised to warn them OF danger.
But let the suppression process be-

WE MUST CALL A HALT.

In q short time the NOteIS vi Oduuo
parish will be called on to select
new executive committee, and there
is Just trifle Of speculation going on
TO determine what class of men will
be chosen. It has been frequently
said, and very generally believed that
the conduct of children always reflect
the gantleness, refinement and good
less of their parents. In a very
great measure this is true, and the
same rule will apply to the standing
of commonwealth being judged bv
the men it puts forward to represent
it. Now then, whom will this parish
choose to manage its political affairs!
Will it select men who are interested
in the welfare, well-being and good
conduct of the community, men
drawn from the moral vacations OF its
confines, or will it 20 to the gambling
saloons and dram shops for its repre-
sentativesi Will it be men Of good
moral standing, with respect for right,
Justice, religion and God, or those
whose only recommendation IS their
adaptability to invent cunning plans,
and execute deceptive man@uverings
for partisan advsntagei Let Caddo
be true to her people this time, and
eschew dram shop politicians for it's
representatives in the executive COM
m,ttee. Let manly pride, and Cody,
moral courage step forward and
strike down the advance of the tip
ping shop brigands. Let the Chris
tian men, and the moral men, and
those who love good government, be
true to themselves one more time,
and select only such men as have re-
gard for right, who uphold justice,
who at least honor God and Jesus
Christ, but are never found
among the congregators at So
looms. The dram shop politician has
no interest in the moral standing of q
community; he is not jealous for the
preservation Of her good name. A
law that tends to uphold due OBJ
srrvance of things religious, has no
goodness in his eyes; his mind can
conceive nothing good in pure things
IN politics; his heart beats with no
warm, generous impulse concerning
things righteous in connection with
politics. Good government cannot en-.
anate from bsrroom; the very atmos-
phere where such plans are mstured
is rotten from their conception. We
think it time for Csddo TO call halt.

Home and Farm: According to
the report of the Statistician at
Washington, the acreage devoted to
potatoes il returned ut ninety-four
and two-tenths per cent. of the large
area of last year In the South, where
the breadth Of cotton has been short
ened, considerable increase in the
area devoted to this crop has been
made, but in the New England and
Western States. where the largest
yield is obtained and the bulk OF the
crop is grown, there il considerable
decrease. The condition of this
crop is almost invariably high in
July, as the vicissitudes incident to
its growth are met with later. The
present return, ninety, however, Is
low. The lowest ever before re-
ported was in 1890, when it stood Mt
ninety-one and seven-tenths. This
poor condition is the result OF too
much rainfall in the districts where
the great portion of the crop is grown.

Truck FAKMrNG.--In speaking OF
truck farming the Southern Reporter
tells the people that for years it has
been trying TO show the people the
importance and protitableness OF
truck farming.
They are beginning to yawn and
rub their eyes and show other signs
Of awakening. IL the organization
of canning company and the estab-
lishment of cannery does not
awaken them fully, they had just as
well be left to sleep on, with cotton
for their pillow and beds, and debts
to leave as an inheritance to their
children. We do not suppose that
any one can doubt that an area of
twenty acres will yield from three
10 ten-fold more money in vegetables
or fruit, than in cotton, and yet our
people seem hard to move out Of the
old rut. Is Ephraim joined to his

THAT THIRD PARTY.
An Organization Effected at Polar
Springs With Only a Few Members.

A correspondent OF the American,
writing from Tobacco Port, says
"On Saturday, the 18th, at Polar
Springs, Stewart county, Tenn, in
district No. 8, a meeting was called
by the Alliance for the purpose OF Or
ganizing "a Third or Peoples party.
Y. w. Cherry and A. g. Ellis were
to be there and make speeches for the
cause of said party, but failed to APP
pear. However, there was speaking
by W. w. Virgins and Guy Jack
son. After speaking they organized
and pledged themselves not to vote
for any man who would not indorse
the Ocala demands. N. Brandon, of
Tobacco Port, Tenn, was at the
meeting. He is a thoroughbred Dem
ocrat, and was informed as soon as he
appeared that there were no Demo-
Gratis there. Mr.. Brandon was called
upon to make speech, but the crowd
was so iniuriated that he declined,
for ii would have been useless. The
Alliance and Third party spirit ran
so high that it would have been like
trying to still tempest. Immedi-
ately after they organized the Third
party they went into secret session.
There were only about seventeen out
of this Alliance lodge that signed this
obligation"
