BETTER TIMES.
Tho Knight Mills Will Start Again
Fewer Shutdowns.

That the financial cloud is gradually
lifting is apparent in the announcement
made yesterday by ID. NJ. Thompson, gen.
era manager for B. B. &. X. Knight,
that unless some un ntoward circumstance
presents itself the mills Will resume
work next Monday. Closely following
this com es the news that Fall River mi lis
will soon return to the Old schedule OF
working days, aud that many concerns
that we're set down for temporary sus-
pension will continue on full time.
There is consolation In these facts for
all who are inclined to take an optlmis ic
view of the situation. That the uumber
OF daily shut downs IL gradually, bur
sure ly being diminished is cheering
portent Of better lines ahead. People
are gradually recovering from their
panic and with the return Of gold and
tie release OF hoardings matters will as.
sumo much more cheerful aspect. Con-
fidcnce Is the greatest capital poor man
an own now and can be invested to es-
pecial advantage at such n crisis rs the
present one.

We'll Done.

The people of the parish are to
be congratulated for the good work
done by the District Court during
the past two weeks.
Officers of Court, the Grand and
Petty Juries hive earned the thanks
of the good citizens of Tensas, for
the faithful and fearless manner in
which they have enforced the crimi-
nal laws.
An imm ense amount of criminal
business has been speedily and in.
telIIgently transacted and the record
of this term when ten criminals
were sentenced to the penitentiary
and two to death should strike terror
to the criminal classes in the parish.
This record shows that the people
of the parish may rely on their
courts and jnries to uphold the
majesty of the law and that crime
and criminals can and will meet
with speedy punishment at their
hands. We repeat that the court
and juries have well earned the APP
probation and respect of the people.

The States says of the defeat of
General Lee for the position of U.
s. Senator:
The people of Virginia were as
tonished as well as disguised by the
defeat of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee for the
United States Senate and the cleo
ton of his opponent Mr. Thomas
Martin. 1t is now claimed, aud
theresseems to be some foundation
for the charge, that money was freely
used to defeat Gen. Lee, and his
friends promise to make statement
of facts which will be decidedly in
teresting, although Gen. Lee who
accepts his defeat with the good
grace that becomes the high minded
gentleman and soldier, is opposed to
any investigation. Mr.. Martin is a
man of large fortune, and it seems
that he placed his money where 1t
would do the most good, and thus
integrity and ability were trampled
under the foot of the golden calf.
Mr.. Martin 1t appears is politician
of the wire pulling class who is little
known In his own State and not at
all outside of it, and the question.
"Who in the thunder is Mr..
Martini" will be repeated from one
end of the country to the other, but
nevertheless his election will be as
great disgrace to the Mother of
Presidents as was the defeat of the
gallant and chivalrous Wade Hamp-
ton to South Carolina. According
to the dispatches from Richmond,
Martin is man who has no ability
whatever to represent his State In
the Senate and will attract no more
attention than is usually bestowed
on nonentity occupying position
be is unable to adorn. He will be
good company, however, for lrby,
of South Carolina, who has felt
awfully lonesome since be got into
the Senate.

Captain Kellar Anderson Of Mem
phis, Tenn, has benn offered the
command OF the Brazilian army by
President Peixoto. Capt. Anderson
is born fighter. 1t will be remem.
bered 'about three years ago when
the trouble at the mines in Coal
Creek, IN East Tenn, beganishe was
placed in command of the State troops
at that point. During the summer
of 1892 his force of about hundred
men was besieged in the stockade at
Coal Greek by several thousand
armed miners, and he carried OH a
steady fight with his foes for over
two weeks, during which time the
garrison lost several men and the be-
siegers quite number. One day
the latter sent in flag of truce with
a request for parley. Capt. Ander-
son went out to meet their represea-
tatives. No sooner was he out of
range of the fort than the notorious
desperate, Bud Lindsay, and two
others Of the mirrors party presented
cooked pistols at his head and gave
him the choice between surrendering
the fort and having his brains blown
out. Shoot, you id ours, - re-
piled the captain. "sYou may MUIR
der me, but you can't get the fort. !"
The Williams would probably have
carried out their treats but for the
interference OF some Of the cooler
heads among the miners"

The outlook for the coming Mardi
Gras season is exceedingly bright, for
IN addition to the usual features we
are to have as visitors several we'll
known Northern and Eastern military
organizations. Notice Of the coming
of that crack company, the Boston
Lancers, as guests of The Continental
Guards, has already been made in
these columns. On top of this comes
the announcement from Albany, N. Y,
of the projected Southern trip during
our festival season in February of the
noted Burgesses Corps of that city.
At meeting of the corps, held in
Albany Monday last, it was unani-
monsly decided to make the trip TO
New Orleans in time TO take part in
the Mardi Gras festivities. A COM
mittee, with Major j. ID. Woodward
as chairman, was appointed TO invite
Gov. Flower and Gen. Socum to ac-
company the corps and to urge these
notables to accept the invitation. The
assessment for the trip will be $50
