Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette: The
people of Little Rock are protesting
as they never did before against the
order Of the War Department to gar
rison Fort Logan H. Roots with re-
gro troops. We have had enough
race troubles of our own to deal
with without being subjected to the
annoyance of negro troops wearing
the uniforms of United States sol
diers. Strong and earnest protests
have been pouring into the Depart
ments at Washington against this
outrage, as it is viewed by our citi-
zens. The riots at Admission, Ala,
ought to be sufficient object lesson
to the War Department not to quar-
ter negro troops in Southern CON-
munities. All classes in our commu
nifty object to such a movement. II
carried out the result will be race
troubles-and We have enough of
such matters already.

STATE NEWS,

The Louisiana State Teachers
Association and the Southern Ehu
cational Association will meet in
New Orleans December 81.
At fire at Mer Rouge on the
night of the 9Th, the losses were:
Daniel & Sisom, $4,000; w. ID. Todd
$4,000; and there were other small
losses; all partly insured.
The recent snow-storm was very
damaging to cotton in East Carroll,
| West Carroll, Ouschita, and other
parishes. Cotton picking is virtu-
ally over in consequence of the cold
weather-the severest for the past
twenty years.
Mer Rouge Democrat: The press
of New Orleans should devote less
space to cleaning up Cuba and begin
work nearer home. Their persis-
tency in advocating cleanliness in
Cuba is remarkable when New Or
leans is still hotbed for yellow
fever germs.
The annual cry to plant less cot
ton is by no means distateful to
those interested in keeping the price
down. They realize that every far
mer will put in full crop on the
supposition that all of the others
are going to reduce their acreage.
The result is that all act on the same
theory aud big crop is produced
and made the excuse for a low price.
