AGAINST WHETE-CAPHsNI.

At meeting of citizens of Big Cane, Morrow
and vicinity held last week, DR.. W. F. Clopton
was chosen as chairman and the following com
mittee on resolutions was appointed, viz: M.
L. Swords, L. 8. Hazard. E. Morrow.
The following resolutions, reported by the
committee, were unanimously adopted:
Whereas certain parties residing in the par
ishes of st. Landry and AvOyelles have conspir-
ed together and have ordered some OF our best
laborers to leave their homes under penalty of
death, and no just cause is given for such ac-
ton; therefore
Be it resolved by the citizens of Big Cane,
Morrow and vicinities, that we will by every
means in our power do all we can to break up
this nefarious and demoralizing condition of af-
fairs and il it is necessary to use force to stop
this terrible state, we hereby pledge our sacred
honor to use it without stint
We look upon the negro race as wards of the
intelligent and law-abiding whites, and we
pledge them our unanimous and undyng sup
port in protecting them in the pursuit OF their
peaceful avocations. We call upon all citizens
OF this and Avoyelles parish to aid us in this
undertaking.

We have been shown a letter written
by Messrs. Dan Talmage's Sons, New
York, to planter friend and take there
from certain extracts which are of gen.
eral interest and worthy consideration
of every rice planter, in fact the princi-
pie maintains and is capable of applica-
ton, whether the product be cotton, su-
gar, rice or any crop which the produc-
er makes to sell. Their Indictment of
the planters mad scramble to sell last
fall, is just. They undoubtedly would
concede that the first in market did
we'll and only speak of the matter in a
general way, that is to say, while one
or the exceptional man profted, the
many, i. e., ninety and nine out of the
hundred suffered from the policy pur-
sued.
Everyone who has the rice industry at
heart, desires that the producer shall not only
get fair but good returns for time, labor and
money expended and can but lament the de-
preston of prices during the past year,
Planters are apt to blame every other man
forgetting each may have contributed by his
action, to the resulting low prices. For in
stance, take last year, when the crop opened
everybody wanted to sell and as a result, fully
twice as much as the market could take was
showed into New Orleans last September.
Shipments were continued at an excessive
ratio throughout the season and as result of
TINS constant pressure, the market steadily
declined. 1t simply followed the we'll known
law pertaining TO supply and demand-over
supply makes low range of value.
BETTER prices are now being obtained and
we believe there can be further raising of
values, but it can only be done by spirit of
cooperation. There are consumers for every
sack of rice raised this year. What is to be
donea Feed the demand, that is, ship in pro-
portions to meet the requirements of market.
'There is no question but that the losses by
drouth in louisiana, and cyclones ON the
Atlantic Coast will favor much higher range
of values than last year and rebound to the
benefit of those who have been fortunate in
making a crop. Whatever the normal value
may be, we would urge upon planters the wis
dom OF deliberation in the disposition of their
product, and you and your planter friends can
serve the crop in general and perhaps advance
your own interests by shipping in monthly
installments, thus preventing over supply at
any given time. By this course the highest
average of values is more likely to be secured
We believe that the advice given is
sound and if acted on will secure desir-
ed results. Some might say "hold back
the crop"-this however, would proba-
bly, defeat the object. Values might
be unduly enhanced but as everyone
would then naturally desire to sell,
there would be haste to realize, thus
causing a swift reaction and terrible
downfall in prices, approximating or
similar to those of last year. What is
wanted is wise, concerted. conservative
action and the course suggested is
natural and practical, i. g., feed the
demand market with deliberation-
ship in monthly installments.

Though the necessary type to print our pa

we're therefore compelled to leave out the

obtain for this issue.-Clarion.
We desire the readers of the Clarion,
as well as the public, to know that it
could have obtained all the type neces-
sary right here in town had it wanted
to. There are two newspape, estab-

than the Clarion ever was, but neither
one was applied to to print the tax
sales or to furnish the type for the pur-
pose. Of course, keeping 10 view the
chief raisoB d'6tre Of the Clarion, i. e.,
the purpose Of breaking down he 9th
