Reports from the drouth section
are somewhat contradictory and
conflicting. The Town Talk, Of
Rapides parish, recently published
an extract from a letter to a promi-
nent citizen of Alexandra from a
travelling man who has made four
days buggy trip through Lincoln
and Union parishes and thinks the
reports in the papers are an out
rage on the people of the State.
During the four days trip the travel
ing man says he went through the
worst section and saw no consider
able suffering. While there is un-
questionably some suffering in the
drouth belt, it is almost as certain
that the published reports of the
peoples general condition has been
highly exaggerated.

killed Ellis Magee, white man,
in April, 1896; was tried and con-
victed at the October term, 1896,

confirmed.
The gallows whereon Conerly is

is covered on all sides with boards
to shut out the hanging from pub

those present, and it was greatly
owing to their efforts that the ball
was such a complete success.
The ball room was beautifully
decorated with banners and ever
greens.
Over FIVE hundred invitations to
the ball were issued, and it is estl-
mated that nearly that number
of persons were present.
Every town in the parish was
we'll represented at the ball, and
there were many from Washington
parish, New Orleans, and q few
from the far Northern States.
Refreshments were served free
to the hundreds of guests present.
The members of the Carnival
Club deserve great credit for the
fine display made, and the excel
lent manner in which everything
was conducted. All took an ac-
tive interest in it, and lent a helping
hand, hence it would be super
fluous for us to make special men,
ton, except that the float of King
Rex was the artistic creation of Mr..
w. 4. Gunther.
All unite in pronouncing the pro-
cession a grand success, and the
ball at night was a most delightful
occasion, that will ever be
cherished as a pleasant memory in
the hearts of those who were pres
ent.
The short but merry reign of
his Majesty Rex is duly recorded
in the book of smiles and pleasant
recollections. "Long Live the
king!"

The Carnival In Coving-

Arrival and Reception Of
his Majesty
.EING REz
The Procession on Tues
day.
The Ball at the Town
Hall.

His Royal Majesty Rex, the King
of the Carnival, arrived in Coving-
ton, his chosen Capital, last Mon
day afternoon at l o'clock. His
Highness was accompanied by the
most distinguished members of his
household, and was escorted by a
band of native warriors.
The royal party, after passing
in review along Columbia street,
proceeded to the Palace st. Tam
many, where the Duke of Bogue
Falia extended to his Majesty a
cordial welcome to his chosen CAPT
tai, in behalf of his Honor the
Mayor and all loyal subjects Of the
King, and delivered to the Captain
of the Body Guard the Keys of the
Palace and treasure vaults. The hos
FATALITIES of the city were then ex-
tended to his Majesty and suite,
and answering allegiance pledged
to him by his loyal subjects.
The King was then escorted to
the Hotel St. Tammany, where .
royal banquet was served, after
which his Majesty retired to his
apartments, being much fatigued

tered for the night.
A large number of his Majesty's
loyal subjects, including many of
the fair sex, were assembled in the
vicinity Of the Palace to witness
the arrival and reception his
Majesty the King.

DR.. Cyrus Hamlin, the founder
of Robert College, Constantinople,
has this to say about the situation
in Crete: 81 am entirely in sympa-
thy with the Greeks. / am glad
that they have taken the Island,
and sincerely hope that they will
hold firm to what seems to be their
determined purpose. l believe
that the people of the civilized
world are with them, and l doubt
whether the powers can afford to
resist what would be the almost
unanimous will of the people if they
attempt to take the part of the un-
speakable Turk; especially in the
light Of the recent events in Tur-
key ITSELF
But the powers have afforded to
do that very thing. All honor is
due to King George, Of Greece,
who took firm stand in defense
Of the Christians against the Turks,
although all the other so-called
Christian powers of Europe sided
against him and espoused the
cause of the Sultan of Turkey.
Even staid old England disgraced
herself by siding with the Moslems,
and firing upon the Christian ma
tiyes of the little Island of Crete.

1t is clearly just that if tariff
protection is given the manufactur-
ers, the farmers should have
bounties, and this is an unanswer-
able argument against protection,
a proof that the only basis of
general prosperity is free competi-
ton in the worlds markets.
