A sPORTsMAN's CLUB.

Some five or six weeks ago barbe-
cue was given by the citizens of the
second ward. the purpose of which
vas to get together the sporting ele-
ment of the parish and discuss the
question Of forming a Sportsman's
Club. 1t was intended at this meet
ing TO effect permanent orgapiza-
ton, but as the barbecued pork flew
to the heads of some Of the boys, coon
songs took The place of sober discuss
ion, and the matter dropped untile
some future day, when meeting
could be held in Lake Providence, at
which all the officers could be. elected
and constitution and bylaws drawn
up. But with thu digestion of the
pork aud the still harder digestion of
Bro SeIig's rare flights of oratory, the
, club went by default, and up to this
time nothing more has been done in
the matter.
We have been requested to ask the
sporting element of our citizens to-
meet in Lake Providence on next
Wednesday and organize Sports
man's Club. for the preservation and
protection of our fish and game, es-
peciaily our game, aud for the mutual
benefit AID pleasure of all who go in
to the organization.
The indiscrimiuate massacre Of deer
in the closed season, aud the continual
trapping of birds has deciminated
their numbers, and we hear a great
deal of complaint from all sections OF
the parish. This is especially the
case in regard to The killing of deer by
negroes, as well as by outsiders, not
only in the closed season, but all dur
ing the year. And TO such an extent
does this go on, that our hunters COM
plain of the scar city of game, and are
now demanding their protection.
1t ia for this purpose that we who
are hunters should get together and
form ourselves into an association
whereby we can be in position to
keep Tom, Dick and Harry out of our
forests, and to punish by law those who
violate any of the restrictions we may
impose upon the privilege of hunting
on the lands in our control. We
should first elect a set of officers, draw
up constitution and bylaws, fix the
dues per month or per year, and elect
a vice president for each ward of the
parish. We should then get the land
owners to make us wardeus, or agents
of their forest lands, with the under
standing that we are to keep out of
these forests all who do not belong to
the club, or who have not special per-
mission to hunt therein, and TO prose
cute all tresspassers by process of law.
We should hire several men to stay in
these forests aud guard our game,
giving them the authority to arrest all
violators of our laws. In this manner
great deal of the indiscrimiuate
hunting will be broken up, and our
game will not be slaughtered, as ii
sometimes is.
From what we can gather from per-
sonal expressions, the citizens of the
entire parish are in sympathy with
this move, and great deal of swamp
land will be placed under our super
vision, if we effect proper organiza-
ton and go into the thing right.
So let the citizens meet in Lake
Providence OH next Wednesday and
form a Sportsmau's Club; and we be-
live that it will be productive not only
of good in the protection ofo game,
but of pleasure to all who join.

The strike in the Anthracite coal
region of Pennsylvania, ordered by
the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca. involves 10000 meE, went into
effect Monday, and the mines are at
complete standstill. 1t is ter-i-
BILE struggle of the rich and merci-
less corporations against the poor.
1t is. said thatihe strike will go into
operation in several other states.
The Picayune says .'the business and
industrial importance of so vast a
labor disturbance may be imagined
by considering that conservative peo-
pie estimate that, should the strike
last two months. the loss in wages
will amount to IS, 400, 900; the loss
to the railroads, $50, 700, 900, and
the loss to the mine operations, $780,
100000. Not only would such
losses mean untold misery to the un-
fortunate laborers affected, but bust
ness and financial interests would be
seriously disturbed" 7P IN
