APPROXIMATE YIELD
OF Cotton in Comparison With Last
Year.

This has been an unusually fine
season for picking cotton, no rain
having fallen in more than tw"
months, but the planters have not
been enabled to take advantage Of
the exceptional weather to the ex-
tent desired, on account Of the
scarcity of laborers and the exorb'
liant wages demanded for their
services, entirely disproportionate
to the prevailing low prices Of the
article. The summer and fall thus
far has been 50 hot and dry that
the entire crop is open and the
fields are white with cotton, some
not having been picked over once.
A LOUISIANA DEMOCRAT report
er has interviewed number of
prominent planters representing
various SECTIONS of the parish.
They all concur in the opinion thai,
the yield of cotton for the current
season vii! he fully AS large, if it
does not exceed that of last yeal;
indeed it is the universal consen,
sus of opinion that as much cot
ton has been made as can be har
vested with the deficient supply OF
labor in comparison with last
year.
Notwithstanding the difference
in price and quarantine restric
tions, cotton has been coming t.
market freely, equal to and some
what in excess of last year, a.
shown by the receipts at the com
press, kindly furnished the DEMO
CRAr by Manager McNair, az fol
lows: Receipts to Oct. 10, 1896
ISL bales; receipts to correspond
ing date this year, 723o bales,
difference in favor Of this year o
81 bales.

The corrupt practices act, enacted
by the last legislature, has fallen far
short of the purpose it aimed to ac
complish. Unless the law can be
amended to make it more effective. it
better be repealed. Many candidates
failed to file expense accounts as re-
quired, and others, including the
fusion candidate for governor, did not
file their accounts within the time fix
ed by law If a candidate wishes to
spend more money than the amount
he is limited to there is always way
to get around the law. Either make

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury.

AS mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on prescrip-
tons from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good You can possibly derive from them.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney s. Co Toledo, o., contains
no mercury, and is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. In buying
