Governor Atkinson has returned
from Morgantown, where he went to
attend meeting of the State Geo
logical Commission created by the
last legislature and is very enthusiasts
tic over the suspicious beginning of
the work of the commission. 1t has
been fortunate in securing DR.. /. G.
White, the we'll known geologist, for
merly professor of geology at the
West Virginia University to direct
the survey which it is proposed to
make and general supervision of the
work of the commission. He has
been given the title of State Geolo-
gist. Dr. White is by far the best
posted geologist in the State and the
best fitted person for the work in view
who could have been secured. Almost
his entire life has been devoted to
geological study and research and the
greater portion of it in West Virginia.
He has assisted the United States
government in its geological work
and prepared about twenty-five large
volumes for the Pennsylvania State
Geological survey some years ago.
He has been through this entire
State and has field notes on the
greater part of it, enough already
prepared to print several large vol
umes of the report.
DR.. White has been for some time
in correspondence with the director
of the United States geological sur
yey in regard to the location Of the
true meridian at each county seat in
the State, which, under the law
creating it, the commission was to
do. The expense of doing this would
under ordinary circumstances have
been considerable, a contract having
at first been entered into to have the
word done for $4,000. Prof White
has made arrangements with the
United States Geological Survey to
do this work for $500, the government
bearing all the rest Of the expense.
Because of the limited appropri-
alton there will be little actual field
work Gone for some time, but DIR.
White has promised to draw upon
his own private note book, which
contains valuable data on the geolog
ical formations Of most every county
for such data as is necessary to make
up the bulletins which will be issued
from time to time.
Bulletins will not be issued as rap
idly now as the commission would
like to issue them because of the
limited amount of money appropriate
ed for their use, but it is their inten-
tion as soon as possible to issue fire.
quent bulletins and full series of
reports.
One of the first things the board
expects to do is to prepare new and
correct map of the State, the test
map now in use not being correct by
any means. A survey of each county
of the State is contemplated from
which an accurate map of the State
will be made.

The Peoples party Executive
Committee at its recent meeting
in Alexandria, called the State
Central Committee to meet at the
same place on the 1st Tuesday in
August, specifying it as the date
Of State Farmers Alliance meet
ing. As the date of the latter
meeting has been changed, it chang
es the date of the meeting of the
said State Central Committee meet
ing to Thursday, August 5th.
The object of having the two
meetings at the same time and
place is to save expenses to those
who are members of both bodies.
and to take advantage of the spe-
cial railroad rates usually given to
larger meetings.

The Great Camp Meeting.

Monroe has done herself proud.
The necessary funds to dcfray the
expenses Of the great Populist
Camp Meeting have been freely
contributed by the business men
Of this vicinity. The Camp Meet
ing is on We want every Popu-
list in Louisiana to know and re-
member that ever class of Mon
roe's citizens extends a hearty well
come to them and their families.
The times are hard and We put the
hospitality and public spirit Of our
city to severe test. But we came
out all right!
Now let all our friends in all the
parishes help us make this Camp
Meeting the biggest thing in the
history of North Louisiana. Let
everybody come and camp On the
beautiful Ouachita. We will guar
antee the greatest attractions ever
offered to the public. Monroe is
filed with splendid boarding hous-
es, restaurants, capacious hotels
and delicious lunch counters. They
will be put to the fullest test Of
their capacity--but they can ac-
commodate the Populist hosts.
Now let everybody say good
word for the camp meeting and
for Monroe. Remember the dates,

railroads will give round trips for

The very fabulous stories that
are reported daily in the newspa-
pers concerning the new gold dis
coveries in Alaska, have caused
some OF our prominent statesmen(s .
To tremble in their boots for ''fear
of the things that are coming up
on u.s. Yea, verify, what shall
we do when gold shall cease to be
good money" and therefore, of
necessity, be demonetized? And
where oh, where shall our wives
do their shopping when Europe
shall refuse our gold I!

State Farmers Alliance.

This body will meet in annual
convention at Alexandria, on
Thursday, August 5th, instead OF
Tuesday, the 3rd, which is the
usual time. Delegates and visi-

on all railroads, as Secretary Nc
Farland has applied for them, and
they will no doubt be granted.

Uncalled-for and Ridiculous.

The editor of the Alexandria
Democrat speaks Of the ''infamy
of sending Populist to the Con
stitutional convention" We re-
gret to see anybody and especially
the editor of paper in a town
like Alexandria and where he
could read the record of such men
as Butler, Harris and others in the
United States senate, and Of Simp-
son, Davis, Howard and others in
the house Of Representatives, and
put such u shameful comment in
his paper. Meyer, Davey and
Broussard OF Louisiana, voted to
put a duty on bagging and ties,
take the import duty off cotton and
stab to death the cotton farmer and
Democratic principles. No Popu-
list voted for such an infamous
measure.
Where is the record Of your
Louisiana delegation in Congress
to-day! Alas, it trails in the mud
Of Republicanism. There are men
In the PopuIist party to-day with
in one days ride of You, Bro.
MobIey, who would honor you by
shaking your hand. They can
teach you for years in political
economy-they are students Of
Ricardo, Draper, Buckle and 9th
ers, and see ruin in store for our
government If not changed. But
they are opposed to a gold stand
ard of values, bond issues, Presi-
dent helping to loot the treasury
and going in with Carnegie, Bel
mont, Morgan, sugar trusts, RAIL
roads, income taxpayers, mulatto
queens, Spanish butchers, vetoing
wholesome immigration bills, hay
inc Americans murdered by 10th
rate power and steering us to the
verge Of war about q mosquito
swamp, with the most powerful
nation on earth, numbering poor
strikers, and one thousand other
counts. The Populists are oppos-
ed to farmers paying their debts in
200 cent dollars, they oppose gov
ernment by injunction they OPP
pose the ridiculous scandals I'M
earthed by the present Congress,
and lying heavy at the door of
Democracy, and they, of course,
are infamous.
Our Populists are men who wore
the grey and who charged in that
''straggling thin grey line" at Anti
etam, Charlottesville, Chickamau-
ga, and swept in "Pickett's death
less Charge" They are the mon
who, when white supremacy was
threatened, barred their breasts TO
bullets and upheld Democracy
when it was young and pure. But
now they are infamous because
they oppose stealing States by bal
lot box studing, perjury and mur-
der. Iou insult the noble man
hood of Grant, Winn, Natchito-
chcs and other Populist parishes.
Hug the rotten principles and pre-
cepts of modern Democracy, you
are welcome. We would rather
be called infamous. Peoples De,
