Capt. w. G. Dibrell, of Coleman,
had a valuable block overrun with
johnson grass, to his great perplex-
ity. One day a neighbor, Mr.. Arch
Melvin, asked him why he did
not get rid of the stuff. The cap
tain replied that he would pay a
man his own price to destroy it for
him. McEwin agreed to do it, and
set his little boys to cut it off with
hoes close to the ground. In Q
few weeks it was up again about
six inches high, and thrifty looking
as ever. The boys repeated the
shaving. It came up again, but
not SO rank or thrifty. Again i

The New Election Law.

To give some idea as to what the
new election law is expected to &C
complish we publish the subjoined
extract from the Baton Rouge Ad-
vocate, the official journal of the
State. 1t will be seen that the be-
lief is expressed that since 30 many
negroes will be disfranchised by it
that the sugar planters will have
no chance of carrying the State for
Mckinley or electing Congressman.
Whilst the law will undoubtedly
disfranchise many colored men it
will affect large number of white
men In the same way. and it will,
besides, puzzle men of good intelli-
gence to cast ballot properly un-
der the new law in the time pre-
scribed-three minutes. The law
was clearly framed for the purpose
of disfranching and puzzling voters
and there is no room to doubt but
| that the aim will be accomplished.
So much time will be absorbed in
trying to get the tickets in proper
shape that one-half the men who
may be entitled to vote under its
complicated provisions, will not b
able to do SO. Here is what the
| Advocate has to say on the subject
"While the Mckinley bounty
grabbers in this State are figuring
up their votes and footing up theil
majorities for the mortgaged can
didate, it would be we'll for then
to stop long enough to take I
sauint at the new election Law
which will go into effect in Novem
lber. The old plan of hauling tn
negroes to the polls in cane cart
and carrying them by the ear t
the ballot box and voting them i
a thing Of the past in this State
and the result will be that the sug
ar-teat vote in the big niger
parishes will be ssmightily shwunl
up" this time. Under the new lay
every voter must prepare his owl
