SOMETHING WE NEED.

OF all necessary buildings erect
cd by a State or Parish tending to
the betterment of certain class
of its population, there is none
which represents SO highly its
morality as the place where moral
law breakers are confined.
Therefore to our mind anyone
confined in Jail ought to be barred
from the possibility of corrupting
outsiders by melting them to dis
respect that very same law which
they themselves, disregarded.
On the other hand outsiders and
especially boys and young men
ought to be prevented in their
endeavor to communicate and
parleying with those on the inside.
Our Police Jury ought to put
their thinking cap on this impor-
tant question and remove the
temptation standing in the way of
Our young manhood.
1t is no secret to anyone that
lewd, unprincipled females are
sometimes confined in our Jail and
that any casual observer can at any
time find lettering around it, young
men parleying, exchanging glances,
exchanging jokes with such moral
law breakers.
Some even bring easy chairs to
be comfortable during the social
chat.
Gentlemen of the Police Jury
remove this temptation and dis
grace to the community at-large
by placingia high fence around
the moral building.
This would be money well IN
vested, it may not be qui te to the
taste OF the occupants but it will
be a safeguard and protection to
our weak young manhood.
Let us have the Jail fenced an d
soon.

THE MISSING LINK.

People who are buying cotton
for investment will naturally wish
to be kept informed on all points
bearing on the cost of production.
1t is a part OF history that Whit
ney's invention of the cotton-gin
changed the whole face of things
in the South. The problem of la
Dor in the harvest has remained to
this day. In the present crop the
cost of picking has been, at the
very least, one-fourth the value of
the commodity. The following
article from the January number
OF the Cotton Planters Journal
holds out warning to the fanat-
ical bulls which they would do
well to heed in time:
1.-Two years ago, at the Vicks-
burg Fair, in the fall of 1896 as
Prof. S. M. Tracey and Mr.. w. w
Mangum were watching some
trained monkeys perform their
various tricks, Prof Tracey said:
AS sure as you are alive,
Mangum, these monkeys can be
taught to pick cotton better and
more cheaply than our negroes do,
and perpetual fame will be the
part Of the man who hrst tries the

have watched any new thing IN
years. l have kept in constant
correspondence with Mr.. Mangum
about this matter, and about the
middle of November l visited his
plantation near Smedes to see the
monkeys at their work. ! must
admit that it was stglorioas sight
to see. and one that did my heart
great good. The rows were filled
with monkeys, each one with her
little cotton sack around her neck,
picking picking away quietly and
orderly, and without any rush or
confusion. When they got their
sacks full they would, run to- the
end of the row, where man was
stationed, to empty them into the.
cotton basket, when they would
hurry back to their work. The
monkeys seemed actually to enjoy
picking.
"Ihat night l stayed all night
with Mr.. Mangum, and we had Al
long talk abon> this matter. &
asked him to give me the plain.
facts about the case SO could give
them in;the Cotton Planters Jour
nal, to the cotton growers Of the
South. Mr.. Mangum said in sub
stance:
II consider the day that Prof.
Tracy suggested to me the train-
ing of monkeys as cotton piclefs
as the most fortunate day the Sonth
has seen in many years. 1t means
more to the South than a cotton
picking machine, for the monkeys
are success as pickers, while the
machines have been flilures. The
monkeys are in every way superior
to negroes as cotton pickers. III
the first place the cost Of picking IS
only about one-third. Then they
are more careful than negroes, and
pick a cleaner grade of cotton. 4
Even in this rainy fall, when all oth-
er cotton was of low grade, that
picked by the monkeys was all
middling, and sold for at least one
half cent more than that picked by
the negroes. Then they will pick4
in weather in n.which you can't get
niger in the field. In fact, +.
believe that it is the greatest dis
covery that has been made since
Whitney has discovered the cotton
gin. People laughed at me at fre.
when I tried this thing, as they ai
ways do when a man tries an4
thing new, but now that it ha*
proved a success all my neighbosS
are wild about it. The negroGk
have made repeated threats q
kill the monkeys, but as yet tflkyx
have not done SO, and | apprehe
no very great danger in this dird
ton. M M

As we said before, unless the
judgement of every mining expert
who has examined this property
is at fault the Wyoming Consoli-
dated Copper company owns a
property that will make a stir in
the mining world before many
months have passed away.
We congratulate the people of
the Wyoming Consolidated upon
their very valuable property, as
well as the people of the entire
mining district upon the fact that
we have now another shipping
mine that will bring many thous-
ands-perhaps hundreds of thous-
ands-of dollars into the country.

Forest Fires.

The mountains surrounding the
Saratoga valley have escaped so
far, during 1899, with only one
small forest fire. Our people and
the public generally are to be con-
graduated on this fact, and The
Sun takes a great deal of the credit
for this fortunate state of affairs
to itself.
lthas for m any years been using
its utmost endeavor to stay the
march of that destructive fend,
fire, and feels that it has in a great
measure been the instrument of
prevention of forest fires in the
mountains Immediately surround
ing this valley,by p~ersistently call
ing the attention of our people to
the Importance of the matter, until
they have one and all been con-
tinually CD their guard while u.s.
ing fire IN the timber. This eau
ton has extended to every well
disposed person, and its presence
has also deferred those evil heart
ed people, who would otherwise
have set out fires if they had
thought-they could have done so
without being detected. The re-
cent heavy fall of snow in the
mountains makes it almost moral
ly certain that we will not have
any large forest fire this year. If
a fire were to get out it could not
in the present wet condition of our
forests spread v any extent of
country.

Some weeks ago The Sun pub
lished an article from the pen of
James |. Cowan relating to the
waste paper nuisance. We wish
to call the attention of this town
once more to the fact that this
waste paper nuisance could be,
and should be, avoided with a
little care on their part. The
habit of sweeping out business
houses and consigning all the de-
bris to the open street should be
stopped. The streets and alleys
should not be made a dumping
ground for that which should be
destroyed, by either being put into
a stove and burned, or piled up in
some safe place and consumed
by fire. Many of the ruuaways,
hat are becoming so alarmingly
frequent in this town, are caused
by the %scurrying hither and thi-
ther of waste paper, which some
one has carelessly thrown into
the street. Take care of your
waste paper. This means you.
