Mothers of Wilmington read what's
here.
There is an epidemic of indigestion

states.
Health boards everywhere sre.reporting
a startling fatality from cholera infan-
tum.
Physicians say that in nearly every
case the child is poorly fed and nour-
ished, and hence the disease
at is absolutely certain, says a ply
sician in one of the medical journals,
speaking of the alarming summer
mortality among his patients, "that the
cause of this high death rate among in.
fants is indigestion"
At the beginning of summer, the best
physicians gave warning that pure food
must be used for babies. That this
warning did not reach every city and
town in this state is evident from the
high iDfantile death rate But in those
places where the newspapers pub
lished the discussions that were going
on. large quantities of lactated food were
sold and this best of diets for children
was used. The result is, statistics show
that fewer deaths have occurred IN those
towns and cities where the larger amount
of lactated food was used
Comparisons of this sort are absolutely
convincing.
August is fatal month for the little
ones, and unless lactated food is used
the local physicians say that the dread
full mortality and increasing amount o
sickness among children viii continue.
The one safe plan is to feed infants oi

POSTAL CLRRENCY

The bill which has been intro
duced in the senate by Senator
Kyle providing for an improved is
sue Of postal currency is one of con-
Germ and convenience to multitudes
of people who in carrying on small
transactions through the mails pay
too much in fees for money orders
and postal notes, besides putting
up with all the inconvenience of
procuring them. The bill provides
that these proposed fractional cur
rency notes shall be issued and re-
deemed at the postoffices of the
country, and shall be legal tender
in sums of less than one dollar.
The only objection that could be
urged to this form of currency is the
one which was urged against the old
fractional currency of war times
it becomes in time worn and filthy !;
the same objections can be urged
against bank notes, but that has
never been found sufficient reason
for withdrawing them. If it were
only provided that no note which

CONG roo TAR.

Some days since a gentleman,
whose business takes him over a
part of the parish nearly every day,
told The Gazette that the negroes,
now that they have a little ready
cash earned by picking cotton, con-
gregate every Saturday night, and
under the pretence of enjoying a
dance, embraced the opportunity to
raise pandemomium, indulging in
fights, and used the vilest language,
which is getting to be disagreable
nuisance.
Last Saturday some three or four
negroes were badly hurt in ARRAYS
in different neighborhoods, and in
Carencro one was killed, the one
committing the deed being now in
Jail. The underlying cause being
whiskey, it is asserted.
The continuation of these mid
night orgies can but be fruitful of
trouble, and something should be
done to restrict them to within de-
cent bounds. No one wishes to de-
prive the co1ored people of all pro-
per amusement, but unless they
show a disposition to conduct their
entertainments in becoming man
ner, they will invite measures for
their suppression. 1t would, per
haps, be best, for their own good,
that no Intoxicating liquors be dis
pensed at these gatherings.

Duson Dots.

To the Editor of The Gazette:
AS the season for the farmer is
drawing to close, I will give few
facts in regard to crops in this vicin-
ity /: Corn, fair crop SO per cent
cotton, but small amount planted /;
80 per cent. sweet potatoes, a fine
crop; 90 per cent. sugar cane, fine
but only little planted. Rice,
which is our principal crop, is near
ly failure owing to a very dry sea-
son, it not having rained to fill my
levees since August IS, 1892, over a
year ago. Last year Duson station
shipped over fifty thousand sacks,
will not ship eight thousand sacks
this crop. After carefully getting
all the information possible from
our principal planters, 1 find the
crop below 20 per cent. of an aver
age year, and taking last year as a
basis, which was an unprecedented
crop, we will fall below II per cent.
1 visited large portion of the rice
region, Crowley and Ver1nilion par
ish there will not be any where
an average of IS per cent. of last
year. Rice is light and trashy I
planted 60 acres near Crowley, will
make 80 sacks; 1 planted los acres
near Duson, will make 50 sacks.

An Eventful Trip.

Dr. G.. A. Martin returned from
| visit to the Worlds Fair last Satk-
day, and reports having had grand
| time in 3kago, and adds that no
man who can possibly do SO should
fail to see :his wonderful fair.
Among the many souvenirs brought
back were some type, which the
Doctor saw cast before his eyes, and
gave The Gazette few samples.
The Doctor was on the Illinois
Central that was held up in Illinois
last week. The train was stopped
at midnight, and the railroad
employees rushed into the cars and
told the passengers to hide their
wealth, and asked those who were
armed to go forward. OF course
great CONSERVATION followed among
the passengers. The Doctor hid
his money in his bootleg, jumped
up and asked for pistol. A little
lady from Cairo, Illinois, handed
him a revolver, and he started for
ward, but when he reached the plat
form some hunters aboard had
woun ded and routed the robbers.
The Doctor stated his profession
and was called upon to examined
the wounded people.
The robber was securely tied
and the train proceeded to the next
town, reaching there about two
hours after the train had been held
up. When the train came to halt,
the fire alarm bells of the town were
set ringing, and soon the entire
population was out. Cries of lynch
ing rent the air, the rope was pro-
duced, and the crowd was about to
mete out swift justice to the prisoner.
DR.. Martin jumped up and haran-
gued the crowd telling them
that it would be cowardly to hang
the man-that as he was now in the
hands of the law, it was their duty
as good law-abiding citizens to let
the law takes its course. His
counsel prevailed.
The Doctor tells The Gazette
that the Fair is a grand educational
institution, and the trip is worth
years of study,
