Alleged Rice Combine.

New"York, Oct. 15.-Local rice
merchants are very skeptical as to
the outcome of the Southern combi-
natio il to control rice. While adj
hitting that it might be possible to
accomplish the objects sought by the
promoters, they regard the undertake
ing as impracticable and, in fact are
not inclined to consider the move
ment very seriously. They are in
terested in its progress, however,
especially since it has assumed some
definite shape, as indicated in yester-
days advices from New Orleans to
the effect that organization has been
effected at Crowley, La, and that
1000, 900 sacks have SO far been
pledged by the farmers of Southwest
Louisiana.
A number of prominent rice firm
in this city when questioned to-day
said, in substance, that the new I'M
taking, if successful, would no doubt
help the planters, provided the com
bine adhered to its agreement. 1t
was said that the prices offered to the
planters were liberal, but the local
firms seen to-day failed to UNDER
stand how the organization could pay
for rice on a weight basis, regardless
of its quality. 1t was difficult to
understand, they said, what surety
the planters would have that the com7
bine would abide by its promises.
Another obstacle, it was said, was
the impossibility of knowing what
percentage of the entire crop of the
Carolinas, Georgin, Texas and
Louisiana was actually controlled by
the syndicate.

Questions, Answered.

Yes August Flower still has the larg
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought Of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicities' Nery-
Gus Prostitution or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation OF
undigested food. regulate the action oil
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses Of Geeen's
August Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
thematter with you, For Sale by N c.
Young, Abbeviile, la, and Kibbe &

Vermilion Crop Notes.

The Hunter Canal people have
made a good run harvesting their
crop, and it is of a very fine grade.
This rice is being hauled to Rayne
for sale or shipment. 1t rightly be-
longs to Abbeyille, but the backward
ness of the business men Of Abbeville,
and the neglect of the. road over
seers in the section north of Abbeyiile,
in putting the roads in good shape,
or having them put in good shape,
changed the course of the rice to
Rayne, where the company was
literally assisted by the business men
of Rayne, to construct good roads.
This company, for lack of railroad
facilities, will store a lot of their
rice in large houses along their canal,
and will ship it later by barge to
Lake Charles or Houston. Other
rice interests in the parish are pro-
crossing favorably. Cotton is being
harvested in as fast as it opens, but
there is but little of it being sold in
Abbeville. Most Of the cotton raised
in the parish is sold at Erath. The
buyers at that place pay more for
cotton than Abbeville buyers, con-
sequentIy Abbeyille loses the trade.

Crowley Rice Receipts.

Crowley, Oct. 15.-When Satur-

received was 1926. The largest
last year was on Oct. 10, when 49,
$50 bags were received. The receipts
for last week also hover around the
record mark, but fell about a thous-
and short of the best week last year.
The receipts for last week were Co.

Japan is also coming in now. On
account of the large receipts some OF
