1t is unprecedented, so far az New

Yes, unless they introduce other
industriea to take the place of the
manufacture Of cotton. The day will
come when:nearly all the cotton will
be manufactured near the fields
where it is grown. That is as certain
as any natural way. The cotton in

Hon. A. Currie's Acceptance.

Approaching the urgency OF my
friends and their generous action in
presenting my name as candidate
for Railroad Commissioners, which I
had decided to do in formal way,
permit me through the medium of
your valuable journal to return to
them and to you my most grateful
Acknowledgements of their kindness
and your friendly words of COM
mendation.
In explanation of my hesitancy in
this matter, complained of by friends
whose support has been solicited by
other worthy and capable candidates
for the same place, I beg to say that
one of the most popular gentlemen
in the parish had been prominently
spoken of for Congress, and as he
was entitled to a clear field, which
claims for more than one place on the
ticket might embarrass, I had de-
termined not to be in his way. His
declination to become candidate is
now so we'll determined that I feel at
liberty to enter the lists. While many
in North Louisiana have doubted the
advisability of Commission law,
especially at points reached by it's
numerous waterways and competitive
lines OF transportation, yet other
points complain of inequalities in
traffic rates. Hence I am certain that
an energetic and impartial application
of the law must operate to the bene-
fit of all concerned and remove all
cause for complaint. As time devel-
ops the usefulness and advantage as
well as any necessary extension of the
powers OF the Commission, intelligent
and comprehensive recommendations
must be made to the General Assem-
bly, to be enforced under statutory
powers. AS I have had some expert.
ence in public affairs, and as I am not
laboring under any of the disqualif-
cations named under the provisions
of the Constitutional article creating
the Commission, or connected with
any corporation, firm or business that
would in the least influence anyone,
I can bring to the discharge of the
duties and the administration of the
law mind entirely free from bias and
aid to the best of my ability in max,
ing the measure equitable, useful and
popular to the people.
Kindly soliciting the suffrage of the
Democratic voters of the twenty
seven parishes comprising the Third
Railroad Commission District,
am very truly and respectfully,
A CIIRRTE
