THE BIG PRICE RALLY.

Last Sunday u cOmmodiOus court
house was packed with a large gather
ing of loyal Democrats who had gath.
cred to do honor to the party standard
bearer, Hon. Andrew Price. DR.. r. G..
Young, chairman of the parish execu-
tive committee, called the meeting to
order and named J.R. Kitchell as the
temporary chairman, and Geo. W.
Summers was chosen secretary.
Committee on reSolntions-Dr G. J
Edwards, Lastie Broussard, W W
Minor, R. Young and Jos Leguenec.
When organization had been effected
Chairman Kitchell introduced as the
first speaker Mr.. Horace Dufour of
New Orleans. The gentleman spoke in
French and made a strong and ardent
appeal to the voters present to pin
their eternal faith to the Democracy of
Louisiana and in the supremacy Of the
Caucasian race, which could only be
accomplished by the success of the
Democratic party in Louisiana.
The young War horse of the third,
Hon. ANDREW PRICE, then addressed
the assembly, He Was,as usual, greeted
by hearty applause. He reviewed at
length the action of the Democratic
party. in giving a duty on sugar. and
showed the utter fallacy of the reason
ing OF the sugar planters, who claim to
be actuated in their movement toward
Republicanism by the belief that the
bounty on sugar will be restored by the
party of their new faith. Mr., Price
made a magnificent address.
Senator Blanchard was the next
speaker. The distinguished gentleman
followed the many qualifications of the
tariff question for fully an hour and a
half. Not a single portion was left un-
covered by the Senator, and his MASTER
ly exposition of the subject.
Hon. Julian Mouton of LAFAYETTE,
next spoke in French, and made a brief
but brilliant talk, which made a deep
impression upon his auditors.
Resolutions indorsing the candidacy
of Andrew Price for Congress and COM
mending the administration of Gov.
Foster, and his bold stand for Democ-
racy and white supremacy were ad-
opted, and the meeting adjourned,
The steam cotton gin of Aristide
Toups at Erath, was completely de-
stroyed by fire last Thursday about
noon. About 40 bales of cotton,
and a lot of seed, together with the
building and fixtures were destroyed.
1t is supposed thzt The fire was
caused by a match or nail in the
loose cotton. The loss will amount
to $4,000 on which there is but lit.
tie insurance.
1t has been 6 weeks since a drop
OF rain fell in this section, and the
drouth is really alarming. The
ground is baked to the HARNESS of
brick, the grass is burned to a crisp
brown, while the roads are filled
with dense clouds OF dust that all
most ~suffocate the traveller. The
heat is oppressive, the thermometer
marking so in the shade.
