A DAY OFF.-We took . trip
to the city last saturday. accom-
panied by one wife and one daugh-
ter. The weather was delightful,
and We noticed quite an improve
ment in the appearance Of the
towns along the road since our last
trip, five years ago. What was
once . barren waste, is now dotted
with thriving towns, some OF which
have sprung into existence since
the advent of that great advance
agent Of civi lization and progress,
the railroad. The ride through the
piny woods and over the big Lake
bridge, is one Of the finest in the
South. We requested the conduc-
tor to run the train into the lower
part Of the city, As we desired to
get of ut Shell Beach crossing, and
our request was promptly granted.
Here we bearded the trolley car, and
in q short time We were on Cana!
street, the finest business thorough
fare In the South. After attend
inc 10 some business matters, we
spent . pleasant time at the matinee,
and 1t its close We were soon home
ward bound. Everything looked
lively in the city, and we met .
great many people We were not
personally acquainted with. and
we don't believe they knew rs. for
they made no sign Of recognition.
The train was run in . mastery
manner. with engineer Moody at
the throttle. and We reached Coving-
ton about six minutes ahead Of
schedule time. Mr.. w Word,
the popular conductor, was kindly
and we here extend MANY
thanks to him for courtesies ex-
which added greatly to the
pleasure Of our trip. The East
Louisiana railroad is sup to date"
ia all its arrangements, and the
managers are to be congratulated
upon having secured the services
Of such m efficient, attentive and
,bliging corps of officials. In the
words Of Joe Van Wrinkle, may
hey all ''live long and prosper.

ABOUT COTTON.


before said in reference to the
cultivation of cotton. Our farmers
should not deceive themselves in
to the idea that the price of cotton
will be higher next year than it is
this year. It is our candid opm-
ion that in twelve months from this
date cotton will be even lower than
it is at present. 1t is quite proba-
BILE that the market will take an
occasional upward turn, but this
will only be temporary, as in the very
nature Of things the general trend
of prices will be lower for some
years to come. The State of Texas
alone can produce every pound
of cotton needed for the worlds
consumption, and the quantity
produced there increases form year
to year. Owing to the favorable
conditions Of soil aud climate 1t can
be produced cheaper in Texas than
is possible IN Louisiana, which is not
really in the great cotton belt; and
for these reasons, If for no other,
the attention Of Louisiana farmers
should be devoted to other crops
more adapted to our conditions.
In confirmation Of the statement
that cotton can be produced more
cheaply in Texas than in Louisiana.
we note a recent article in one of the
Texas papers giving details of the
work required to make cotton in
Texas, and showing that one man
and a team can easily cultivate
Atty acres in cotton, while in Lott
isiana from ten to twenty acres
are as much as one man can culti-
vate. We may produce more to
the acre on our lands, but one
lsborer will produce in the aggregate
there more than here, and when
we attempt to make cotton here,
except as a purely surplus crop,
We are decidedly out of our sphere.
Egypt produces much finer cotton
than our own, and in both that coun-
try and India cheap labor will for
ever renaer it impossible for use
to compete with them in cotton
culture. In order to thrive then,
in the face OF these conditions, the
Louisiana farmer must gradually
divorce himself from an agricul-
tural system the prosecution of
which can mean only bankruptcy to
HIM. We do not attempt to raise
wheat in this State. the reason being
lu0L OuI COuUlliOHS uO LOt lNNOl
its culture to an extent that would
prove rumunerative. These identi-
cal reasons can be urged ayains.
raising cotton here, and our
farmers will never be thrifty
until they cease attempting to
accomplish the impossible, and
make up their minds to settle down
to a system of agriculture that is
adapted to our condition.
He is only deceiving himself
who is persuaded to believe that
cotton will ever make any peIma-
nent advance over present prices.
On the contrary. all the signs Of
the times point to still lower prices,
and bankruptcy is the inevitable
end of The Louisiana farmers who
will persist in sticking to the all
cotton system.-Balon Rouge Ad-
vocate.
