Monday night Mr.. d. f. Dupre's
gin house and contents, fourteen
bales Of cotton, was destroyed by
fire, no doubt of incendiary origin,
as the gin did not run on Monday,
and there was no fire about the
place since Saturday, and the fact
that that night while young La
fieur was going to the scene he met
man supposed to be the malefac-
tor running from it. There was
no insurance on the gin. 1t seems
hard that gentleman like Mr..
Dupre should sustain such loss
at the hands of some malicious in
dividual.
The election passed off very quiet
ly here last Tuesday, at the Joubert
and Evans polls, the true Demo
Gratis being so few in number that
they made no fight.
The turkey hunt, as previously
mentioned, came off last Friday.
A certain friend of ours was con-
stantly on the alert while at home,
but was called to Opelousas on bus
mess, and in his absence four fowls
of that species which ranged in
our friends enclosure We're captured
and taken to Opelousas.
Mr.. Alex Splane, of Mamou, and
his young brother, of Bellevue, We're

We have had no dust since the
delightful shower thai fell on the
night of Sunday, the .2oth ut,
which was followed by the me
weather of Halloween week, DUR
ing which the farmers exertea
themselves to house sweet potatoes,
and the plantation philosophers
seem very happy in knowing that
stde 'tater now hez de fioah.e And
we rejoiced when another good rain
came on Thursday night, the 1st
inst, Just after we had observed
the bright light of large building
that was being destroyed by fire,
which we feared was the destruc-
tion of some ones home, and which
we hoped the rain would prevent;
and the next day it seemed hard
to believe that the fire had
been no far away as linsters
sugar mill. near Bunkie, that was
burned that night.
The protracted meeting that was
started at the Methodist Church
ON Monday, the 22nd ult, was
closed on the following Friday, and
Rev. H. s. Johns departed on the
day previous to the close. He and
Rev. J. f. benson preached good
sermons, and had our people so
well pleased that quite a number
from here went down to enjoy their
meeting at Melville the following
week.
The sad announcement is being
circulated this morning that Mr..
III. III. Burleigh died yesterday, at
his home, near Morrow, at . o'clock
D. M, and will be inferred near that
place this afternoon. He had been
very i'll for number of days.
His friends are glad TO know that
Mr.. r. G. Foote, who has been quite
sick, is improving.
Mrs. Robert Hart has returned to

visit to her daughter, Mrs. I. G,

Here / am again; just returned
from another expedition. 1t was
through Texas this time.
Let me tell you how pleasant it
is for us to travel now. We rise a
little earlier than usual; pack up;
take the train at s a. m; cross the
Mermentau, the Calcasieu, the Sa-
bine; have a glimpse at Crowley,
Jennings, Welsh, Lake Charles,
West Lake, Orange, Beaumont,
and sup with our Texas friends.
Nice, isn't it :?
But what makes ones heart re-
joice, at travelling through Texas,
is the dwarf pines along the line,
and then think of our own magni-
ficent forests, of our gigantic yell
Low leaf pine. Those human beings
in this Lone Star State need dwell
ings, fences, etc., and through a
Louisianian horoscope you perceive
looming up visions of turpentine
factories and lumber yards.
The Texans are ahead of us in
fruit culture; pears and apples are
extensively cultivated by them,
and bring handsome profit. In
Devers one farmer sold over two
thousand bushels of pears. Apples
are delicious there.
Now, the soil in Deyers is pre-
eisely the same as our soil in ST.
Landry. Rice, cotton, cane, etc.,
give about the same yield; gazon
grass is luxuriant over the uncui-
tiyated lands. Fruit trees thrive
in our neighborhood parishes then
why couldn't we too have orchards,
and earn money easily?
/ attribute the success in Texas
to the perfect drainage of the land.
Fruit culture, no doubt, will be-
come eventually one Of the greatest
sources of revenue for the State. In
the great industrial battle which is
to be fought on Louisiana soil, shall
we prove sluggard ?
The chief social event around
here was the marriage of Mr.. Mar
eena Manuel to Miss Felicite Fuss
jlier. The bridegroom is the son
of one Of our most esteemed citizens,
Mr.. Fremont Manuel, and his bride
is the daughter of Mr.. Louis Fusi-
lier, who is also well known here.
Tt is meet to state that Mr.. Mar
cena Manuel was the first Of the
Reads Bridge scholars to have the
mark of excellence on the Roll OF
Honor. The boy who could submit
to school discipline will respect his
eountry's laws; the good scholar
will make the perfect citizen.
The numerous friends of Mrs. B..
Laf1eur will be glad to hear of her
recovery from a serious illness. DR..
Ray was the successful M. ID.
Mr.. Onezime Fusilier, an octo-
.genarian, is recovering from a gem
serally fatal disease, dry gangrene.
DIR. Lewis is the attending physi-
scian.
Mr.. ". Savoie's cotton gin is in
full operation.
The shrilI whistle of Mr.. L. Fon-
ttenot's gin tells us in accents loud
that If the rice crop is short, the
cotton crop is not.
Vegetables were suffering, but
4he nice shower of Thursday night
will revive every plant.
The drought, although bad for
the grass, was of great advantage
to those who had to haul their pro-
duce to market. The roads were
so good that one pair of common
horses could easily pull a wagon
loaded with fifteen sacks of rice.

Of the National
Cotton Planters Union.
WAxIA, Nov. 3, 1894.

WAXIA, NOV. 5, 1884.
A meeting of the National Cot
ton Planters Union was held at
Waxia, La, to-day, and the pro-
ceedings of the meeting are to be
sent to the Times-Democrat and
ST. LANDRY CLARION.
Over three hundred members
were enrolled,
The following officers were cleo
ted: r. E. Hawkins, president; NJ.
L. Bihms, viee-president; Chas.
Baker, secretary: j. Beard, assis-
sistant secretary; Jas, Goode, lee
turer; G. Z. Hawkins, assistant
lecturer.
The object of the National Cot
ton Planters Union is to raise the
price of cotton.
The following platform was
adopted
There are no fees or dues; every
cotton planter Is entitled to MEM
bership. Lecturers shall speak
throughout the South; raise funds
by contribution as they go. No
member shall charge lecturer for
bed or board, but assist him when
possible. General headquarters to

DAYS. A cotton strike is the object
Of the n. G. p. U. Ways and means
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1894-11-10

have been devised to be made pub
lie at a later day. There is not an
over production of cotton, and the
\. G. +. U. will take no less than
eight cents per pound for the crop
of 1894.
The Nc. P. T. will be 1000 strong
within the next ten days. .
The following address was deliy-
cred by r. l.. Hawkins, President
of the Nc. ?. u:
GentIemen.-We recognize the
fact that there are many and varied
difficulties to be dealt with, and
the n. G. p. t.. will endeayof to
deal with these difficulties in due
time. It IS not the purpose Of the
N. C. p. u. to agitate any question
except that which would be n ben
eft to the cotton raiser. The cot
ton planter has waited in vain for
legislation that would benefit the
cotton planter, and the n. G. p. U.
will act, Independently of party or
politics, and endeavor to handle the
cotton crop of 1895 in a systematic
way.
The N. G. p. u. believes that the
cotton planter can get eight cents
for cotton if they demand it. Cot
ton is not sold for its real value.
The world recognizes that fact. In
past labor troubles and strikes the
strikers were men who no doubt
knew that proper legislation would
relieve them. But in what way
could they get justice? Only by a
system of strikes. We can send all
our lawyers to Congress; we can
read all the very able articles prin-
ted, and schemes and schemes, al d
t comes t > nothing. Tie n. G. 2.
U.is composed sof men interest sd
in the cotton Industry, and do be-
lieve that they have a right to de-
mand the value Of cotton, and be-
lieye that they have a right to hold
it.
Were there an over production
of cotton, we would say: raise less.
But such is not the case. At pres
#ent cotton is forced upon the mar
ket; spectators are forced out OF
the field. The consumers buy at
their own rates. The cotton PLAN
ter can never hope to get the full
value of cotton as long ais the con-
sumner can buy at their own prices.
Cotton is raised in different parts
of the world, and pays the producers.
The gold and silver question has
much to do with this, but it is not
for the N. G. p. e. to deal with the
silver question at present. Lee
turers will be in the field, who will
have great deal to say in regard
to these things. Every manufac-
tured article is sold at a standard
price; now why shouldn't the far
mer have a standard price ?
