Should Continue to Serve.

Should Continue to Serve.
Some question has been raised as
to how Political primaries are to be
arranged in the Senatorial and Judi
cial districts since they have been re-
modelled by the new constitution.
We are OF the opinion that the men,
bers of the various executive commit
tees elected to represent their respec-
tive parishes should continue to
serve until their Successors are elected
in the usual order.
Thus, at the Grant parish Demo-
cratic convention held Dec. IA, 1895,
Messrs. j. A..Williams and John Ran
dolph were elected to represent this
parish four years as members of the
executive committee for the Oath Sen
atorial district. We believe they
should continue to represent the par
ish in the 9th Senatorial district,
composed of Grant, Vim and Cald-
well, should any occasion arise for
action before their successors shall
have been regularly appointed.
Also, at Che same time and place,
e Or. j. F. Kelly and Mr.. w. C. Roberts
were appointed to represent the par
ish in the executive committee OF the
4th judicial district, Now that we
are to be in the 18th judicial district,
composed Of Grant and Rapidess we
believe its il perfectly competent for
tKehi to act with the Rapidss repre-
sentatives ia arranging any prelimi-
naries thas may be necessary before
their Successors shall have been elect
ed in the regular wsy.
Any other Course than this will ere.
ate d vast amount of confusion and
trouble. We recommend this courst
to the PARISHES of the districts in
which Grant is situated, and would
like to have some suggestion from
the State committee on the subject.

Rather a Good Rake-off.

P.J. Moran, in an article in the Atlanta
Constitution, says: .".As an ILLUSTRATION IT
tho manner in which the farmers in the
country have lost heretofore, it is only
necessary to repeat statement recently
made by Mr.. Hester, Of New Orleans,
that oct OF an annual cotton RECEIPT Of
one million three hundred thousand
bales in that city over thirty seven thous-
and bales were. made up out of samples
which had been ruthlessly plucked from
the bales by the men who handled them,
which should have gone into the parishes
Of Louisiana" Not the least merit Of
the American Cotton Compony's Round
lap bale that besides its other economies
it prevents this unjust tribute from
being levied on the farmer.

Steady Increase in Values.

There has been steady increase of

show this steady increase we give be-
