FAREWELL TO SHREVEPORT.

Farewell to your hills, with cool shady
And your gentle slope down the valley
to greet,
Where sunshine and shadow may play
hide and seek
Mid the flowers and ferns that bloom AT
your feet.
Farewell to the land where the oriole
sings,
Where the gay mocking- bird builds her
nest,
Where the humming-bird floats on tire
less wings,
And the lone whippowill sings me to
rest.
Farewell to my friends; they are numer-
ous too;
Enemies, have none, as far as know;
The precious, sweet moments I've gam
cred from you
viii memory hold dear wherever go.
Farewell to the church at the head OF the
street;
I've oft passed your portals weary and
| sad,
Till the preacher arrived, when sat at
his feet,
| And was charmed by the gifted, yet
| tender, La Prade
Farewell to the dust, which so peacefully
| sleep,
'Mong the grass covered hills, WIN
valleys between,
Others will now stand where the lone
| willows weep
And lovingly see that the grave Is keP'
green.
Ito, I turn to the land OF the rising sun,
Where, mid the graves of my kindred,
Pll try
To patiently wait till my days work is
done,
Contented to live, or contented to die.

" GRAND CANE, La, T
February 9TH, 1897.
DEAR S1R:-I have, for many !
years, thought it quite strange why ]
= vas the South did not engage IN :
.he manufacturing of all the needs
- snch as come through the pro-
o.s. If skilled labor. Often we
hear it said that no country can
GROW rich that depends solely on
.or;culture. 1t is said that Eng
lands wealth grew out of the fac
tory. New England has grown
,;ch from her manufacturing and
mining Industries. In the South
ne have as many natural ad-
vantages as any country on earth;
MANY more than England or the
northern part of the United States.
The reasons assigned for the
slow progress of manufacturing IN
dustries in the South, is a lack OF
capital. 1 was talking recently
with gentleman ON the subject OF
cotton mills in the South. He said
if we could induce men with capl-
tai to come here and invest their
money in cotton mills, it woul be
but a short time before the South
would rival the New England
States in 20 int of wealth. l at
tempted to prove by theoretical
argument that it was not the lack
of capital the South needed, bu'
that it was a want of confidence
not that character of financial con
fidence VIC read so much about, al
suggested by the ''sound money
people, but a confidence in GU
ability to do anything that is pos
sible for men to do when they un
derstand how it should be done.
The development in modern in
ventions has made the road pla1
that leads to the possible hum c
the cotton spindle in every tow
in the South. Steel arms and iro
hands have displaced, in meas
ure, the necessity of well-tralne
labor. Before ingenuity did
much, it was quite necessary
have well-skilled labor in all tt
departments of manufacturing IL
dustries. Should it be necessal
to have skilled labor here before
factory Of any kind could
operated, there are thousands
the best skilled men and women
the North who would gladly COZ
south for a job.
AS l said above, it is not CAPT
we need so much. Capital neN
did build anything; labor has do
it all. Every factory, town a
house in all the world was built

Those Public Documents.

In our preceding issue was an
article entitled Queer Public Doc
uments, which indirectly intlmat-
ed that a gentleman of prominence
h id used the United States mail
for shipping private wearing ap-
parel. under the guise OF pubic
documents, and the Caucasian, OF
our city, wants The Progress to
call names.
This of course we cannot do Tor
the reason, first; no charge was
made, no location laid, no name
referred to, for the reason there
Given. it would do no good, and
second; the statement might have
been but a "Reminiscences, referring
To an act which might have occur
red back in the long ago.
Since then we have made more
thorough investigation revealed
the fact that those trunks which
"Reminiscences talked about were
not trunks but Congressional box

the other nearly so, the wearing
apparel alluded to, being really

Senate Proceedings.

Washington, July 1.-THE senate,
soon after meeting, went into execu-
tive session.
The doors were opened at 2:30 o'clock
p. m, and Senator Morgan took the
floor in support of the Harris resolu-
tion. He presented figures to show
that the loss to the government, if the
pending Union Pacific settlement was
carried out, would be $25, 900, 600 and he
this the Union Pacific would secure a
property which they proposed to capi-
talize at $262, ,0OO, 900. Senator Morgan
urged that the agreement by which
the reorganization committee would
bid $45, 600, 900 for the government in
terest was expressly designed to shut
out other bids, as it permitted the COM
mfttee to use the 100000 sinking
fund in the treasury as a part of their
bid, while other bidders had NO access
to this $4,000, 900. He presented a Sc
ries of points showing. he said, the
''monstrous fraud and scheme of ex-
tOrtion and oppression constituting
the most auda cfOus. plan of railroad
wrecking ever devised" The senator
said President Mckinley could not af-
ford to carry out the agreement con-
corning the Union Pacific made by
President C1eveland; he could not af-
ford to become the administrator de
ibonis non of an act of the Cleveland
adrniniStra ton so offensive as to wreck
any man. Senator Morgan had not con-
cluded when ait 5:25 O'Clock he yielded
for an adjournment

accepted by the house conferees-
The senate rates on all fruits are re-
tanned, including / cent per pound on
oranges, lemons. lines, etc On wal
nuts the house rate of cents Per
pound was restored. the senate having
lowered this rate TO 212 cents.
White pine lumber was restored 10
the house classi fication and the house
rate of s2.0O per 1000 feet, instead of
the senate rate of $1.00.
The reciprocity clause has been
transformed into a modification of both
the senate and the house schedules
that is the number OF articles which
can be used as a basis for reciprocity
agreements has been increased, but
the presidents discretion as to rates
and the ratification Of treaties by the
senate which was the main feature of
|; the senate provision has been re-
jected
One of the biggest victories won by
the house was in the restoration to the
dutiable list of iburlaps. jute and jute
bagging, cotton bagging, gunny sacks,
floor mating and cotton ties, which
the senate placed on the free list.
While restored to the duriable list.
however, the rates are lower than they
have ever been on this class of articles.
Another victory of the house was the
elimination of the senate stamp tax on
bonds and stocks. 1t was decided that
the machinery of collection was too
cumbersome.
Raw cotton is restored to the free fist
as originally fixed by the house. The
senate, with the aid of some of the
democratic senators, made cotton du-
TABLE at 20 per cent.
The amendments as agreed upon will
go to THE printer tomorrow and the
completed bill will be laid before the
democrats Monday morning. Assur-
ances have already been given by the
democrats on the conference that there
will be no attempt to delay the re-
port when the fun committee meets
But 1T is possible that the democrats
may ask more time than the republi-
/ cans now anticipate. The republicans
believe that the report can ibe made to
| the house early Monday afternoon and
| if the present intentions of the house
leaders are carried out, the report will
| haye been acted upon before the house
adtOurnS on Monday.
Governor Dingley expresses the opin-
| ion that the bill will be a law and
that congress will have adjourned a
| week from today.
The democratic conferees are by no
means pleased With the transfer of
such items as cotton bagging, burlaps,
, floor mating, ETC., from the free to the
dutfable list and express the hope to-
| night THAT they may be able to re-
verse the conference committee on
these articles. They claim to have the
pledges of the republicans who assist
! ed in making these articles free and
in reducing white pine that they will
assist in forcing their restoration to the
free list even to the extent of opposing
the report. The republicans, however
profess to feel easy over the fate of the
| report and say that the worst they
fear is delay occasioned by long de-
| Ddre.
