pPTIE TTCHTTNG

On last Monday occurred another
prize fight by local men. Among them
were four colored men, which was more
than the white men had in the ring.
While Of course prize fighting will con-
tinue to go on and there will always
be some colored men follow it, yet we
think too many Of our race are learning
or trying to follow that business, and
as some says (using the slang phrase),
be "dead sports" We should not toll
crate it, because it is not elevating,
but brutal, and will ultimately
leads to obstruction. Last winter the
degrading cake walking and coon song
craZestruc our city. This winter it
is prize fighting. Neither is advancing
or elvating to any race and the sooner
we cease it the better for our race.

Louisians Rice II Red.

The rice planters and millers OF
Southwestern Louisiana are having
some trouble with the crop this season.
For some unaccountable reason q con-
siderable percentage of it is red. This
is not the first season that red grains
have appeared among the white, to be
sure, but never before has the propor-
tion been so large. An examination
by chemists has shown that the red
rice is equally nutritious as white.
The value of the article as a matter Of
food is not in the least injured by tho
red grains. But the fact remains that
the colored grains injure the sale OF
the rice they appear In.
