COMMUNICATED
COTTON SEED AND WHISKY
REVIEWED.

Mr.. Editor.-Please allow me to ex
press my commentator, writ large
of the article in your paper of the 26tt
instant, under caption of Cotton Seed
and Whisky. "from Gan Old Planters
trenchant pen. His statement, how.
ever, that, 81 have never heard q
preacher in East Carroll inveigh in
the pulpit against the appalling drunk
enness and gambling that is almost
universal in our parish makes one OF
two facts self-evident; either. he is not
a regular attendant upon divine SER
vice, or habiiually sits in the wrong
pew" Had he frequented the M. E
Church South. of which l have had the
honor of being pastor, for about eigh.
teen months, he scould have learned
there, almost any Sabbath, that his
arrangement of the whisky traffic, and
the moral debasement to which it uni
versally reduces a people. is but an
echo of the philippics Systematically
hurled against this king Of terrers and
the terror of kings.
1t is the devout wish of this scribe
that the article under review may
prove the Genesis of movement which
shall serve to arouse from their '2ip
Van Wrinkle Sleep" the white popula-
ton of this community who alone are
responsible for the colossal curse that
rests upon this fair land of ours.

A New Enterprise.

Mr.. Joseph L. Fischer, hustling
and enterprising citizen. is now pre-
pared to take contracts for building
houses, either brick or frame. To
assist him in the contracting business,
he has secured Mr.. X. j. Longmire,
formerly in the employ of the
Enoch-Havis Lumber Co., of Vicks-
burg. MIR. Longmire is an expe-
rienced contractor, and any work
undertaken by him will be done in
strictly modern style. We are glad
to note this new departure Of the
Fischer Lumber Company, for peo-
pie contemplating building can let
their contracts to home talent instead
OF sending away for workmen. Mr..
Fischer will have a number of car
penters here in short while, and be
will be ready for the coming boom.
Consult him ard get his prices.

A horrible accident occurred, in
Issquena county, Miss, last Sunday
night, in which four colored chill.
dren lost their lives. 1t is the same
old story where the careless parents
locked their children in their cabin
and went off to church, and during
their absence the cabin caught on
iire and the children were burned to
death. There is not colored per-
son living on plantations that do not
know the danger of going off and
leaving their children locked in their
cabins, and why they will continue
to do such careless acts we do not
understand.

Railroad News.

Mr.. J. III. Mccarthy, who has
the contract for building the Mem
phis, Helena and Louisiana railroad,
was in Providence on Thursday,
and we are reliably informed that
work will be started through the en-
tire parish in very short time
within the next four or five weeks.
Mr.. Mccarthy was here for the pur-
pose of seeing Mr.. Robt. Nicholson,
who has the contract for the en-
bankment work of the road in this
parish, and who has a large outfit
ready TO go to work at any moment.
The tie contractor has bought tim
Der at several points along the line
of the contemplated road, and will
put men to work Immediately on
getting the ties ready for use.
The road bed to be. thrown up in
this parish is almost nothing and
with good weather rapid progress
can be made. 1t is reported that
the. officials of the road will rush it
to completion and have trains run.
ming over it before January first.
From the Louisiana line up, work
is now being done very fast, several
outfits being pat on in the past few
weeks, and Mr.. Mccarthy says that
part of the road bed will soon be
completed and cross ties and rails
will be laid with a rush.

There is the biggest kind of a
war on hand in the city of Monroe
over the wharf privileges, and the
Mayor shouldered shot gun the
other day and threatened to shoot
the first man who interferred. 1t
is all over the letting of the wharf
privileges to certain person and
another opening up an Independent
landing, which the mayor says is
contrary to law. When men take
the law in their own hands, and es.
peclally sworn officers. things are
coming to pretty pass.

HIS FACE WAS CRUSHED.
AIPhonse Rollet Kicked by Vicious
Horse.

Alphonse Rollet, Of Renfrow, o. T, is in
the St. Francis hospital with a badly
twisted face, and in very serious con-
dition, as the result of kick by a horse
last Saturday. Mr.. Roret was feeding
his horses at noon Saturday, and one of
them was a rather vicious animal and
kicked the owner in the face, breaking
the vomer. both upper maxillsry and the
nasal bones in several pieces. and also
puncturing the antrum Of hymor. open
chamber under each eye. The bones are
broken IN several pieces, and seem to be
hanging only by the flesh. 4 person in
touching the face can feel the pieces of
bC mes move under the touch
DR.. Noble was called to assist the hos
pital surgeons in dressing the wound and
he has succeeded in getting all of the
bones in the proper positions for knitting
but is now confronted with the most seri-
Gus part OF the injury. blood poisoning
The antrum Of hymor are hollow spaces
under each eye. and just back of the
Enaxillary bones. These being punctured
allows the blood TO flow into them, and
unless great care is exercised, some par
tcle may lodge in one Of them and, de-
caying, cause blood poison. Drainage
has been established through the nose
and everything possible is being done to
save the young mans life and at the
present time he is progressing nicely. Tn
less some unforeseen difficulty arises he

The hoofs of the horse struck Mr.
Eonet sort Of glancing blow. driving
the bones and flesh to the right side Of the
face What is remarkable in the acci-
dent is that the lower Jaw bones were
rot injured. while the upper bones were
crushed almost into a pulp and are per-
fectiy loose under the skin The nose,
What could be seen of it when brought TO
the hospital. was pushed a considerable

would leave the institution little changed

the open chambers being exposed makes
the injury very serious. as it is hard to
fcod the chambers and remove the blood

way into them.
