Louisiana Oil Fields.
PROspECTORs SAYS INDICATIONS ARE
BETTER THAN HOPED FOR.

Special to The Times-Democrat.
Beaumont Tex. July 8.-Re-
ports from the various Louisiana
oil fields are to the effect that the
highest expectations entertained
by the prospectors are being rea-
lized. and that the discoveries of
oil and indications of oil are great
or than the most sanguine of them
had hoped for. At Bayou Bouil-
Ion, according to II. s. Reavis, the
oil indications found by the "Gol-
den Rule" Jones Company and by
the Haywood are better than the
best ever found at Spindle Top or
Jennings.
The Jennings field has develop
ed a considerable market, the dali
ly sales being in the neighborhood
of 1000 barrels, at approximately
forty cents a barrel. Numbers of
wagons from the sugar plantations
in the vicinity are engaged as
tankers, and make stated trips
with loads of three barrels each.
This trade has grown to several
hundred barrels day.
1t is understood that a brand
new company has began operations
on the Atchafelays river, close to
where the Heywoods are boring.
The departure to-day Of E. M.
Tallaferro for the Louisiana fielde
is interesting. Mr.. Tallaferro ie
Southwestern manager for the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company Of
well-known Standard affiliations,
and he has gone to Louisiana to
buy oil for the Standard. Dewey
Haywood accompanied him on his
trip, although he denies that he
has closed contract for the sale
of oil.

SATURDAY. July IL, sIeo2.
Please Read The Charter.

It seems that Che Town Council
is running the affairs OF the town
ignorant of the charter, or they
are willfully violating its previ-
sions.
The town charter contain the
following claus:
"AlI contract for public works or ma
teriaIs, or supplies ordered by the town
council, when the same exceed One
Hundred Dollars, shall be offered at pub
lie auction aud given to the lowest bid
der who can furnish security satisfacto-
nv to the council. or the same shall be
advertised for sealed proposals In writ
ing, to be opened by the Mayor in the
-presence Of the council, aud the contract
shsil be given to the person making
lowest proposal therefor, provided that
should there be only one bid. the same
may be accepted by the council as rea-
sonatle and fair for the work advertis-
cd; provided further, that the town
council shall have the right to refuse,
reject and qualify any and all bids OF
proposals"
AT their first meeting they ap-
pointed a lamp lighter at salary
of $4,000 and a cart man at a sa-
larry of $4,000. Were these con-
tracts not in violation of the char
ter, the work of both of these en-
ployes are labor contracts, and
they should have been disposed
of at auction or by sealed bids.
And if this was done some mo-
ney might have been saved for the
town treasury, and the council
would have had the satisfaction &c
have performed their duty accor'
ding to the charter.

White Men Turned Yellow.
Great CONSERVATION was felt by
the friends of M. A. Hogsrty of
Lexington, KY. when they saw he
was turning yellow. His skin
slowly changed color, also his
eyes, and he suffered terribly. His
malady was Yellow Jaundice. He
was treated bv the best doctors,
but without benefit. Then he was
advised to try Electric Bitters, the
wonderful Stomach and Liver re-
meJy, and he writes: AFTER tax

great Importance to this great

scientific cultivation, and these
discussions are always interesting
and beneficial to the people of
entire section.

The advance In January to e.7l and a pre-

ON COTTON

NEW YORK. Oct ga slight decline in
Vhe cotton market has occurred today, as a
result Of the PRONUNCIATION of a crop esti-
hate of 200 900 by A. J. Buston OF Liv-
ekpool Mr. Buston left New York September
20 and returned this morning. He has there
fore been absent twnty-five days including
Sundays His crop stimate Is predicated upon
inspection within this period Of the condi-
tons OF the crop in eleven Southern States
covering area OF 1872 900 square miles in
which a cotton acreage OF about AGO. 600
acres 10 under cultivation.
the whole area by night travel and to exam
inc the crop personally by daylight, the time
that he has been absent from New York
state. This would involve his examination
upon the average OF 80 600 square miles per
day. In this view Of the case 1t is obvious
that Mr.. Buston's estimate only be regard
Cd e. an expression of personal opinion. and
while knowing him as do personally. and
give him credit for all sincerity l can but
recognize that, like all EngIishmen. he APP
proaches the problem of American cotton pro-
duction in attitude of extreme sceptic
as to the possibilities OF a short crop. and
that going South with this preconception from
foreign market whose interest is to buy
American cotton cheaply possible, he ls
likely 10 be unduly swayed by influences of
which he is perhaps unconscious.
AS against Mr.. Buston's views there in the
testimony of the United States government and
I of thousands of my correspondents that
! this is the shortest cotton crop per acre
| that the South has produced in many years.
