Have Your Rice Milled.

There is no doubt at all when
placed in the proper hands, tina,
it is much more profitable to the
rice planter to have his crop milled
at home and ship the clean rice te
market to be sold for his own &C.
count, than it is TO sell in the rough.
Especially this year when the
ripened crop had SO much to con-
tend with in the way Of unfavorabl.
harvesting weather, etc., all OF
which the man who buys our rice
in the rough will take advantage
of When rice Is milled at home
and shipped to the Northern market
as your own, 1t reaches there in fine
condition, and you not only save
the loss you would have had in the
grading down that would have been
done by the broker, but you save
the brokers and mlllers profits. In
this connection it is we'll to notes
the experience of Mr.. Blgham. OF
jefferson county, Texas. MIR. Big
ham had his rice cleaned at the
Beaumont mill and sold the cleaned
product by sample, realizing . ne,
price of more than a. per sack,
with the demand practically un-
limited. With his experience, ana
also the experience of others tina,
has not come under our observa-
ton, also taking into consideration
he facts just stated above, it woulo
certainly be III order for Calcasieu
rice planters to mill at home and
sell their cleaned product. BY thls
course they not only further the
interests of their own pocketbooks.
but help out the home mills, the
agency that released them from thu
grip in which they were hopelessI,
held few weeks ago-that of tn.
New Orleans commission men.
We believe that our farmers viii
lind that it will profit them to have
their rice milled and ship the clean
product this year before selling.
The bad weather through the har-
vest and the excessive rains which
caused the rice in many cases to
sprout, will initiate greatly against
a good price in the rough.
IS the buyer will take advantag.
IF these untoward circumstances
md will grade the rice away down.
# our planters have their rice
cleaned at the home mills and ship
he clean product they can then see
nst what they are shipping ana
an determine the grade for them
selves. Mill your rice at home, |
md also make the profit the middle
nan or broker would get.-West-
axe Herald.
Our st. Tammany planters should |
takethe above advice, and have
heir rice milled in Covington, by

TURRET MERELY TOPPLED OVER Divers Make an ImpOr- tant Discovery on
 the Maine It Was Impossible for the For ward Magazine to Have
 Exploded. Startling Evidence That Tends to Bear Out the Treachery
 Theory.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-A special ca ble to a morning paper from Havana says: I am informed that the result of the divers work to-day on the hull of the Maine is considered by the naval experts as going almost as far as cer- tainty in demonstrating that the Maine was destroyed by an outside force and not by the explosion of her own for ward magazine.
 Immediately over this magazine was the immense turret. If the magazine had exploded the experts believe that the turret would have been blown to pieces. or, at least, carried far away from the ship.
 What the divers discovered to-day is that the immense turret has simply been toppled over and is still part of the Maine, although covered with de- bris.
 Although the divers have not actu- ally explored this forward magazine. it Is now considered in view of the con- dition in which this turret was found that there was really no explosion in that compartment.
 The facts thus far presented to them are held by the naval officers to demon- strate almost to a certainty exactly how the ship was destroyed. The ex- plosion must have taken place under the boilers between the forward and after magazines.
 The force applied in that place would break the vessel in two parts and leave the wreck in the general condition in which 1t now appears in the water. Also an explosion there under the boilers and furnaces would have thrown up the volcano of fire and ce- ment which was observed by those on shore at the time. While the force of this upheaval would be very great it would not have smashed and broken up the turret nor blown it away, but on the contrary this immense mass of

WORK AT THE MOUTH
 OF CAPE FEAR RIVER.
Government Mounts Heavy Ord nance and Will Man the Mon
 ifor Nanf1,ckef

NEW YORK, Feb 21.-A Wilmington (N. CD special to the Herald says: Since the Government began the erec- ton of Notifications at the mouth of Cape Fear River no visitors have been permitted to inspect the work being done. Everything contemplated has nearly approached completion. Heavy rifled ordnance, mounted en barbette on disappearing carriages, have been placed in position, ammunition has been received and an artillery officer with a few men has recently arrived to take charge.
 As an adjunct to the land works the United States steamer Nantucket-a monitor of the old type, however-is stationed In this harbor. Orders have recently been received to place the ves- sel in first-class condition. The battery of the Nantucket consists of two 12- inch cannon in the turret, with sev- eral rapid-firing guns as a secondary battery. This ship is to be manned by the North Carolina reserve force, con- sisting of about 250 men, and an officer of the regular navy has arrived to in- spect and instruct them. Lieutenant Commander George L. Morton, with his whole command, is very enthusiastic and ready at any time to respond to the call of the Government.
 Greater confidence is now felt here in the security of our port, and. while more extensive Notifications may be needed, still the opinion prevails that hostile ship would have difficulty in passing the batteries without serious injury being inflicted upon them. Be- sides these means of defense and pro- lection, torpedoes will be provided to be placed in the channel both outside and along the bars, which at high wa ter would admit of the passage of ves- ses drawing twenty-two feet. Our re- serve will give good account of itself should an emergency arise, and many of the recruits care not how soon.

National GuardSmen Are Told to Quickly Prepare for
 Emergencies.
Companies Must Be Filled and the Names of All Men Eligible
 to Be Secured.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 FRESNO, Feb. 21.-General w. M Muller, commanding the Third Brigade, National Guard of California, has is- sued the following orders to his sub- ordinate officers:
 Ascertain immediately the business and residence address of each member of your command. From this informa- tion divide your command into squads of corporals. Each corporal must keep both the business and residence address of each man in his squad and also familiarize himself with the usual whereabouts of each man both day and night, so that every man can be quick ly found. l.
 You will ascertain immediately what per cent of your command can be de- pended on for active service and how many are unfit from physical disabili- ty. Ascertain how many ex-National Guardsmen in your vicinity who can be depended on for active service, and make a roster of these men, showing name and both business and resi- dence address. Report the approxi- mate time you would require to recruit your command up to the maximum of 103 members who are physically fit for active service. Make two rosters, one of ex-National Guardsmen and one Of men who are willing to volunteer, show ing business and residence address. Place copy of each roster most con- veniently into sections of indefinite number in charge of each sergeant for purpose of prompt notification. Load immediately all effective shells you have necessary to bring your supply of ammunition up to 100 rounds per man on a basis of present membership, being extremely careful to properly size each shell. If your finances per init, it would be well to provide re- serve supply beyond this quota for pos- sfble recruits.
 Can you In case of emergency pro- vide your command with six days trav- cling rations per man from your local source of supply? This ration to com ply as nearly as circumstances will ad- init to United States army standard. You are hereby oAdered to assemble your command for an inspection in the armory on Thursday, February "A, 1898, at o'clock p. m. promptly, in heavy marching order, and have all property ready for inspection"
 STOCKTON, Feb. H.-Major Gus Grant received to-day an order from the headquarters of the Third Brigade, calling him to inspect Companies A and of this city next Thursday night and giving certain instructions which show that the object of the inspection is to ascertain the condition of the companies for service in case of war. The order directs that the business and residence address of members and ex- members of the National Guard be se- cured, and that the officers familiarize themselves with the whereabouts of the men, day and night. The order also directs that effective shells be loaded at once, sufficient to bring the amount up to 100 rounds per man, and asks if six days travelling rations per man can be supplied in case of emergency.
