To ou1r. Friends and Patrons.

We wish to call the attention Of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity
of their being on the alert, in the matter of
judicial publications, (sheriff7s sales especial
lyl, as neglect on their part to give positive
instructions as to where they desire such
advertisement published, is apt to result in
our being deprived of the patronage that
would otherwise be given to US. The sheriff
of this parish has been making himself es-
pecially Jealous in the matter of securing
sherifFs sales for the paper of which he is
director and stockholder, and several publica-
tions of that nature have appeared in that
paper which the parties interested would
have selected to be done in the COURIER, had
they been consulted and others have been
diverted from us at the special solicitation of
the sheriff or his deputies serving the papers
in the matter of seizures.
To those who prefer to patronize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire to in
terfere with their preferences, but our friends
who wish to favor us with their patronage
are earnestly requested TO see that the proper
officers are instructed to have the publication
done in the CoURIER-and they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in
iuced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.

Rice Chaf for Export.
A New USE FOR A ONE-TIME WORTH
LESS ARTICLE.

Rice chatf has acquired an important
commercial use and in consequence Is
to- day commanding very good price.
The rice planters of former days who
threshed their own rice and the mill
men of more recent time recOllect
what great burden the chatf was to
them. It would tax their ingenuity to
know what to do with the stuff. Like
cotton seed, it has since been discov
cred that what was regarded as worth
less was i'll reality very valuable, and
that the destruction of both of these
things was that .puch wealth which
was being thrown away. 1t has not
been so very long ago that rice chaff for
packing purposes was employed. The
very fact that the stuff was wanted
bestowed value upon it, and consid-
cradle quantities have since been sold
for this purpose. One Western firm
in particular, was forwarded two car
loads of the chaff a week, and the stuff
was said to be without an equal for
packing purposes. The price realized
upon the article by the local dealers
was good, and large quantities of it
have since been shipped North and
West.
For packing glass, canned goods and
like packages it is said to be unexcell
ed. 1t was never surmised that the
chaf' would eventually acquire an
European demand, the light, bulky
character of the goods offering too
many obstacles, it was thought, to its
expectation. In this, however, it de-
velops that the knowing ones were
again wrong, for ii aale of rice chaff, for
export. was sold few days ago, the
price realized being $l9 per ton. The
shipper does not desire his name made
public, bnt he anticipates that big
trade in this article, once thought to be
worthless, will some day be carried on
from this port. The shipment in ques-
ton is intended for Germany.-N. o.

To men without fortunes, struggling
to make both ends meet and to take
care of their families in moderate com
fort, it is matter of astonishment how
the graspiug greed of multi-million-
aires prompts them to risk what has
already been accumulated by industry
OF successful speculation, in the hope of
adding to fortunes already more than
ample for the qualification of every hui
man desire or aspiration. To double
his So. 500, 900, Jack Cudaby "cornered"
the Chicago pork market, but the "cor-
ner" collapsed and he became bank
rupt. His friend Fairbank went 10
with 81, 900, 900 and shared the samesfate.
These men had no need of more money
but they had an insane desire to pile
up useless millions and to play for such
stake at the risk of becoming pau
pers. There is no phase of human fol-
ly that better illustrates the madness
of sane men.-B r. Truth.

The Mansfield Democrat-Journal re-
marks that the only objection urged
against a constitutional amendment
providing for the election of police
jurors by the people is that in the large
negro parishes the white people could
not be certain of securing representa-
tive men as members of those impor-
tant bodies, but it calls attention to
the fact that justices of the peace and
constables are now chosen by the peo-
pie in those parishes, and no complaint
is made. Another fact may be consid-
cred. The constitutional commission
is expected to formulate an amend
ment modifying suffrage so as to assure
supremacy to the intelligence and
wealth of the State in its political af-
fairs, and when this is done the people
may be instructed with the privilege of
electing all their officials. B. R. Truth.
