Quite a number of persons are
anxiously waiting for the rice ca
nal to organize in order to con-
tract and commence work. Nearly
three thousand acres of land could
be cultivated in rice the coming
year, if the canal was an assured
feet. Suppose some of our own
people would take up the matter,
look into it and see if it would not
prove safe and paying invest
ment. We are of the opinion that
if three thousand acres of land
could be planted in rice west of
town; with the small patches that
could be cultivated all over the
parish by the introduction of irri-
eating deep wells, we have no
doubt that these lands would pro-
duce enough rice to supply a rice
mill of medium size that could be
erected in st. Martinville. Let
our people come together, discuss
these matters, and see If by a CO.
operative organization they can
not see their way clear, and take
the necessary steps to induce our
people to go into the rice cultiva-
ton on a small scale to diversity
their crops.

SWEEPING BILL
Aimed Against The Trusts In
Virginia.
Legislature to Tackle a Measure
Framed After the Texas Law
Some of Its Provisions.

Richmond, Va, Dec. IA
sweeping antitrust bill was intro
duced in both branches of the le-
gislature here yesterday. The
bill is drafted after the Texas Law.
1t makes every person or corpora
ton entering into or having any
connection with any pool or COM
bination to control the price of
any commodity, guilty Of attempt
to defraud, and all amalgamations
and consultations, however, eff
fected, designed to create trust
or monopoly, or to fix prices, are
declared unlawful.
The sale of manufactured arti-
Gle below the cost of production
for the purpose of creating mono
poles is made a violation of the
law. The penalty imposed is
fine of from $500 to 5000 per day
during the continuance of the Of
fence. Corporations violating the
law forfeit the right to do bust
ness in the State. Articles pro-
duced by trusts are made contra
band of commerce to Virginia.
