AGAINST WHITE-CAPHsNH.

At meeting of citizens of Big Cane, Morrow
and vicinity held last week, DR.. w. +. ClOpton
was chosen as chairman and the following com
mittee on resolutions was appointed, viz: M.
j.. Swords, l.. s. Harvard, 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 &C.
ton; therefore
Be it resolved by the citizens of Big Cane,
Morrow and yicinlties, that we will by every
means in our power do all we can to break up
this nefarious and denoralizing condition of af-
fairs; and if it is necessary to use force to stop
this terrible state, we hereby pledge our sacred
honor to Use il without stint.
We look upon The negro race as wards of tho
intelligent and law-abiding whites, and we
pledge them our unanimous and undying 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

SPECIAL REPORT OF GRAND
JURY.

The Grand Jury is impressed with the great
| increase of crime in our State, and especially
in tho parish of st. Landry.
The parish prison Is crowded with prisoners,
almost to suffOcation and there are 225 cases
upon the criminal docket, as we are informed.
The increase OF crime we believe to be- due
chiefly to the slow and Ineffective methods Of
| disposng Of criminal cases. The legal require
meIts of a unanimous verdict in all cases IL we
doubt not the chief stumbling block in the way.
If the law permitted a verdict to be rendered
in all msdemeanors by majority of the jury,
and by nine jurors in all serious cases less than
capital, great and lasting reform would be at
once inaugurated throughout our State, and
the cost Of criminal trials, now an almost ntol-
cradle burden upon the tax payers, would be
greatly reduced.
Not only is the change above suggested ne
cessary, but in order to facilitate the transac-
ton of court business in large parishes like st.
Landry, it is necessary that each parish of such
large. population and area should be a separate
judicial district with judge to give his exclu
sive attention thereto and with court perpetll-
ally open like our Justice of the Peace Courts.
1t is impossible for one Judge to attend to the
business of this parish and have his time and
attention given to several sessions of court in
another parish within the year.
There are on the docket of the the District
Court here at the present time, 225 criminal ca
ses, 145 civil cases. and 100 probate cases. Fhe
consequence is that both Civil and Criminal
cases necessarily go over from term to term,
and the tax payers and litigants are constantly
and heavily burdened with costs.
These suggestions are made with the respect
full request that your Honorable Court will
cause them to be conveyed to the commission
appointed to formulate amendments to the
Constitution for submission to the Legislature
with the earnest recommendation that they re-
ceive favorable consideration.
The Grand Jury further desire to call atten-
ton to the great burden imposed upon the wit
nesses summoned to attend this body without
compensation. They respectfully ask our SEN
tatives to Use their influence tohave the law SO
amended as to allow the same compensation to
such witnesses as is allowed the petit juries.
All Of which is most respectfully submitted.

Foreman Grand Jury.

and at right angles with it. strip Of
tio or thin iron one inch wide should
be nailed. The holes between the
board and the ground must, of course,
be stopped up. So must all knots
holes.
The crickets will come, crawl up
the board, get to the tin, and fall to
the ground. In falling some Of them
will get hurt, aud other crickets will
then devoue the injured. But not
one will get into the field behind the
fence. Unless, indeed, there should
be SO many crickets as to make piles
q foot or moro high as they fall over
each other. But that is not probable,
although on this account it is best to
use q IL. inch, instead of six>inch
board.
While the mass of crickets is
struggling and wriggling at the fence,
roller made of anything handy
should be driven over them. This
will kill or cripple many, and their
uninjured fellows will turn to
aud devour them; AS it is a characters
lstic of these pests that the we'll ones
eat the injured.
In this way, and at this compare
lively small expense, the landholder
will save his crop, and destroy the
vorscious and numerous pests besides.
INSTANCES WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN
KEPT OUT.
The readers OF the TIMES do not
need to be reminded Of the fact that
II. E. Miller, OF Miller & Packard,
whose extensive ranches are situated
in this valley, and from iour to 10
miles south of this city, fenced out
the crickets, this year, with a foot
board and strip OF tin. This has been
sufficiently commented upon.
But others have done as we'll,
in tho same way; and it may increase
confidence IN those afflicted to give
a few names or cite few instances
where growing crops have been saved
by this means.
At what was once Kuna, but is now
Orchard Farms, about Fl teen milee
from Boise, are extensive orchards.
One of these-of several hundred
acres-is owned by a company which
also owns mos, of the land around
there. The first swarm OF crlckets
this spring found its way to the or
chard unobstructed. The trees were
young aud tender, and the crickets
made short work of every ything but
the trunk.
Other orchardists there had simi.
lar experience.
When the second swarm came, the
manager for the company hurriedly
arranged the fence in the manner
above recommended. The result was
,ha, a cricket has since hardly been
seen in that orchard. The trees we're
saved, and the retardation because Of
the first quasi.to.al destruction Of the
trees will be comparatively insigniG'
cant.
The orchard of the president Of the
company-consisting of 80 acres
was saved in like manner, with q foot
board and stri p OF tin.
So with others there.
It is therefore evident that the
settlers can rid hemselves OF this pes
