Mr.. James Clark of Vinton, well known
to large number of the people of Calca.
sieu, paid our office pleasant call last
Monday. Uncle Jim, as he is familiarly
called is one Of the progressive farmers
of Calcasieu, and particularly interested
in her public schools. he has some com.
plants to make, and if his statements are
correct land we have reason to doubt
them) they are not without foundation.
According to his showing the children of
his district for the last year have received
less than $1.50 per capita, which is less
than one-half the amount to which they
should be entitled. This is the first com
plant we have heard Of in the matter Of
the distribution of the fund, but it should
not pass unnoticed.
In speaking of the crops Mr. C. says
they are as rule excellent, but the
growth of sugar cane has been unparal-
leled He has planted cane for many
years, but never before has be seen such
remarkable growth as this year. He
gave us his experience of last year with
one acre of cane which he made into su-
gar and syrup himself. From this acre
he produced 167 gallons Of syrup and 800
pounds of prime sugar from which he
REALIZED, from the syrup at 4Oe. a gallon,
$1,000; from sugar, at SC. SIS, making a
total of SS1.SO. Not an ounce of fertili-
ger was used. Mr., Clark is one of sugar
men who don't want any bounty. He
says that without any bounty he can
make more clear money from one acre of
cane than from five acres of rice or cotton
He thinks, like many others, that if a
bounty is to be paid, it should be given
to the rice and cotton planters

The theatcr-going public Of Lake
Charles are very anxious to ask a favor
of the ladies, and that favor Is that they
VIII not wear hats during the perform.
ancc at the theater this winter.
Now, when the real truth Is known,
most Of the ladies win say that they do
not object to removing their hats on en-
tering The theater. They DO not wear
hats pnrposely to punish the people
behind them. 1t is merely force Of
habit-a fashion--a custom that causes
thom to wear hats during the perform
ance, and we sincerely hope that it will
be abolished by the fair women of Lake
Charles who are always so courteous md
considerate in such matters.
Every one admires a becoming couture
more than they do huge display Of
millinery. The women as well as the men
admire a pretty arrangement of ones
hair, and when hat is worn it is con-
oealed.
New if some brave woman will set the
example-some leading society lady,
we win say, if she viii set the example
by removing her hat on entering the
theater and persuade the other women
to do likewise, they will be comforting
great favor on many gentlemen.
In the large cities abroad and in our
own county, too, the ladies always re-
move their hats at the theateT, and do
not let Lake Charles be behind them in
this respect
Both Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. Kinder re-
quest the ladies to be kind enough to do
this and oblige many gentlemen.
