A HEAVY DowNPouR.
Much Damage Done to Farms and Growing crops-A Wash-Out
 On the Railroad.

Sunday evening about : o'clock a heavy downpour of rain commenced, accompanied by fine electrical dis play and thunder, that in newspaper correspondents imagination, would equal in noise the bomoardment of a Spanish town by one of our gunboats. Coming during the closing hours of a pleasant Sunday afternoon, many peo- pie were caught away from home and not a few as they saw the waters raise and roll down the valleys began to look longingly for the coming of an ark with the fond expectancy that when the storm should end they might find safe landing on Mt. Mena.
 The reports from the county indi- cated that nothing equalling this storm had ever occurred here in the memory of the oldest settler. Fences that had stood unmolested for forty years were ruthlessly washed away along creeks and river bottoms and farm lands were plowed and cut by rushing torrents of water in manner quite sad to con- template.
 At point just this side of Rust, five miles south of here hundred feet or more of the railway track was washed out and the south bound passenger train which arrived promptly on time was compelled to stay here three hours while large force of men were repair ing the track.
 Later in the day a terrific landslide was reported between Heath and Grand Summit, about eight miles west of here, and immediately large force of men was set to work to clear the track. It was not until II a. m. Tuesday that trains could run in that direction, and the north bound passenger, due to leave here at 5:45 Monday evening. was held until that hour.

About a Sugar Factory:

Opelousas Tribunc:
MIR. 4. B. Denbo; representing
the Lafayette Sugar factory, was IN
town Wednesday. He was in ST.
Landry looking for sugar cane, and
any one having cane to dispose or
should correspond with him at La
favette Theft factory is this sea-
son being enlarged to capacity OF
1000 tons of cane per day, which
will enable them to easily handle all
cane that is raised within their
reach. The method of handling
cane has been changed so that the
refneries pay the freight. The cane
sold this refinery last season, netted
the planters $3.25 per ton at their
stations, and indications. are that
this seasons crop will net about
$500 per ton, which is better than
cotton at % cents pound.
The war will put national finances
in such shape that the sugar duty
can hardly be decreased for eight or
ten years at least, and the planters
of this parish should investigate the
cane growing business and at once
make their arrangements to raise
cane.
The planters say they can't grow
cane till there is a factory here, and
factory building people say they
can't build factory here till there
is some cane to work on, and the
result of this senseless cross purpose
business will be that we will never
get factory.
Good profits can be made IN
growing cane at prices Of from three
to four dollars per ton, and long be-
fore they could grow more than
they could dispose of to the
Lafayette factory, there would be
one here. The planters around
here should orgnize a Cane Grow
crs' Association and take up the
matter systematically. 1t is folly to-
sit still and complain of hard tlmes'
without sensibly trying to better the
times, yet this rs what our planters
are largely doing.

Gen. Gordon, the famous Con
fede rate hero, has been interviewed
by a representative Of the Assocla-
ted Press at New Orleans. In the
course Of his remarks the general
said: "The best way to avoid loss
by fever, as we'll as from bullets, is
to crush the Spaniards at blow and
bring our army back home. The
opinion of the intrepid old fighter
is surely entitled to great deal OF
weight. His plan would be to land
a large force on Cuban soil and
wage an aggressive warfare, compel
ling the Spaniards to capitu!ate
1t is to be hoped that General Cor
don will be placed in command OF
American troops. Despite his ad-
vanced age, it is questionable if any
other military man in the Onlteo
States is as we'll fitted to lead ou'
forces to victory.

A number of wealthy Bostonlans'

themselves ridiculous by abandon
ing their homes and seeking protec-
ton in foreign country. Contrast
the behavior sof the people OF view

the bean-eaters. Instead OF rum

cent City are engaged in the organ'-
cation Of military companies, ana
are taking the necessary steps 10
give the Dons reception in true
Southern style. Not long ago the

now in order for them to ADVISE
