a HWL
Lengthy petitions, containing the
signatures Of great majority Of the
taxpayers of Houma and Bayou Du-
Large, win be presented TO the Drain
age Commission, District No. I, at its
next meeting. The petition requests
the immediate dredging Of bayou La
earpe, and shows the great benefit
that would result to the residents Of
3 large section Of Che parish from the
opening up d that bayou.
There can be no denying the right
Of tie citizens Of this and the bayou
DuLarge sections to urge upon the
Drainage Commission to do this work.
A review Of the tax assessors books
win show that the people who are
making the request, pay a very large
portion Of the drainage tax funds,
and have never received the benefits
that other sections have received from
tie disbursement Of these funds. This
can be easily proven by official figures,
# necessary, and, therefore, until a
denial is made, it would be useless to
argue this point.
And IN admitting the truth Of Che
above statement, one is forced to also
admit the justice Of the request that
is being made by the citizens Of
Houma and ba-ou DuLarge.

WANTS AN

Representative Al w. Bonvillain
has introduced a resolution memori-
alizing Congress for an appropriation
of 100000 for bayou Terrebonne.
The benefits that would be derived
from the widening and deepening Of
bayou Terrebonne are too numerous
to admit Of individual mention. The
body Of Mr.. Bonyilain's bill shows the
principal good results that would be
realized by the dredging Of the Terre-
bonnie. The resolution is as follows /:

RECOGNITION THAT

The Lily White Republicans were
recognized by the National Republi-
can Convention and Wimberly was
turned down, so it is said. It is per-
tinent to mention, however, that the
Wimberly faction has received all Of
official pap, and it is also in order to
call attention to the assertion of Mark
Hanna that he would stand by the
Wimberly faction, whether the con
vention did or not.
So far as the political situation in
this State is concerned, it makes
practically no difference which faction
the National Republican Convention
sees fit to recognize. Republicanism
in Louisiana is dead, and all Of the
life the National Republican Conven-
ton might try to blow in it viii be Of

Washington, d. c., Nov. 20.-The Chi

Ject. to allow the Hague commissioners
to adjust the indemnities. 1t Is be-
1eVed that this proposition has never

VIII bring them over 10 cents pound.
This price, however. could hardly have
been realized had the farmers raised

THREE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
There are three questions of vital
Importance which affect the price of
next years cotton crop. They are how
much will the mills OF the world con-
sumo In 1902? How much lint cotton
VIII the balance of the world produce
for other than domestic consumption
IN ls0l? How much will we produce in
the South in 1902"
Continuing. Mr.. Smith said:
FIFTY years have shown an increas-
ed demand for cotton goods, causing
an increased demand for lint cotton
OF about 200 per cent. While the next
decade may not show q proportionate
increased demand, l have no doubt
that by the end of % years the manu-
featuring of the world will consume
over 100000 bales OF cotton annually
WHAT PLANTERS SHOULD DO.
While the Southern planter should
aim at receiving for his lint cotton it's
full market value. care must be taken
that the South shall maintain her SUI
PleilucS as the cotton producing sec
ton of the world. England, Russia
and Germany have devoted and are de-
voting great attention as nations to
cotton culture. The United States,
through the Agricultural Department
at Washington. should give cotton Gull
turc full proportion of attention. and
should furnish reliable information of
The progress which is being made
abroad in this great American staple.
Accurate information should also be
prepared by the Agricultural Depart
ments of the States which are engaged
in producing lint cotton to the end that
the planters may obtain before plant
ing their crops the probable worlds
demand. and the probable worlds sup
ply, and later on in the season, when
the time for beginning to sell cotton
arrives. the planters should be reliably
acquainted from these and other
sources with the probable product of
our own cotton raising section"
In closing. Mr.. Smith urged the
diversitication of crops.
