A LOUISIANA man says that the rice
crop OF that state this year will be fully
one-half of the entire crop of the United
States. ''The raising of rice" he saws
has worked wonders for the interest
OF our state. 1T has practically opened
up new industry in the agricultural
line, and hundreds of farmers who
thought their lands valueless when the
cotton gave out now find themselves in

That Big FelIer.

A middle-aged man whose business
keeps him away from home On all days
except Sunday had occasion to chastise
mis- eldest son one Sabbath, about three
weeks ago. So soon as the shingle
seance was over the child ran crying
into the house.
''Why, Johnnie, what is the matter?"
asked the mother in alarm.
"That big feller's been licking me-"
whimpered the boy.
''What fellow do you mean, Johnnie?"
"Why, that feller what stays here
every Sunday" replied the urchin, with
gulp.-Texas Siftings.

The late Gen. Beauregard is without
doubt entitled to take high rank among
the scientific soldiers of the civil war.
1T would be saying too much to call
him a military genius, but he was a
student of war and he knew how to put
his talent to account. He seldom or
never fell as low as mediocrity and he
never rose togreatness. He was a man
OF impulse rather than man of fixed
character. and it is seldom that such

SENSIBLE ADVICE.
A Paper That Represents AgricuIt-
urists speaks Plain Truth.

SGDaSJtpDl LINES.
According to the RECORD-UNIoN OF
Sacramento many farmers regard the
coming Road Convention as a movement
to increase taxation by making more eX-
pensive roads, and that their rights are to
be in some way infringed. This is hardly
credible. A few farmers may fear that
their taxes will be increased, but the ma
jority are too Intelligent to imagine that
such a movement can be against their in-
terests. One object of the convention is
to secure concert of action. and, as near
as may be, uniformity in the system of
road-making. If these objects can be ac-
complshed the way to cheaper road
making will be comparatively plain.
As road-making Is now pursued it is of
the most expensive kind. Enough mon
ey has been wasted on roads throughout
the United States in almost any decade
to have built everlasting roads had it all
been expended in one year. The older
States are gradually learning this truth
and are making good roads which cost
little or nothing to keep in repair, while
the newer States continue the wasteful,
make-shift system, or rather want of sys-
tenn. The farmer suffers most from this
shlftless and slovenly lack of economy.
/ n winter in the great valleys of Califor-
n a most Of the roads are impossible. 1t
costs farmers more time, more wear and
tear of horses, harness and vehicles nearly
every winter imam his taxes lOI &OOu TOauS
would amount to. This cost goes on year
by year and as long as the roads are bad.
If the roads were made good his taxes to
nav for them would continue few years
and then taxation, vexation, loss of time,
ear and tear of property would cease,
he would have TO maintain less work an
imals and less capital would be invested
in them and would be better applied.
What farmer would not willingly give
a good span of horses to be provided with
a road to town all the year and every year,
especially when tie good condition of the
roads made it easy for him to get along
with one team less? Let the farmers send
delegates to the convention and look after
their interests in the premises. Let them
go, hear what is proposed and carefully
calculate for themselves what will be the
costs and benefits to arise out of any
plans there proposed. Let them oppose
the bad and aid the good, for there are
certain to be some bad propositions sub
mitted and advocated, but let them not
indulge in baseless suspicion, remain
away and let schemers manage the con-
vention. If the convention goes wrong,
it will be the fault of the farmers, for it
should be composed of more OF those than
of any other citizons. Attend this con-
vention and raise your voice in favor of
good roads.
