ASSAILED.

For the life OF us we could not see
why our neighbor, Brother Moody OF
the Republican Idea was harping Oh
manhood suffrage-which means q
debauched electorate with beer, Doodle
and these good cheap things. He is
just training for the role of a ~reincar-
mated Moses and when be gets his
robe and staff ready viii lead the Re
publicans Of Louisiana out of the
Egyptian darkness into the promised
land, and in crossing the Red Sea we
hope will duly drown Howell and Nc
Call.
In his new manifesto published in
Washington City, Brother Moody
says:
Il have been here ten years, and
started my paper just after Mckinley
was elected the first time. 1t is
growing, and has the respect Of the
community because it is honestly
straight and hews to the line OF she
time-honored Republican principles.
An editorial in the Republican Idea,
January. 4, 1900, entitled "a
Timely Warming" brought the
Howell and Herwig factions to.

Convention was the result in Febru-
airy following. was a delegate
Howell could not run the Convention
to suit his Democratic whims and
bolted the Convention. He then or.
ganized a party campaign OF his own,
called the "Lily Whites," and DIES,
troyed the only effort at harmony
that has taken place in Republican
ranks in Louisiana. He and Mccall,
who outraDk the Democrats fol
white supremacy, will not have 9
negro in the Conventions and Coun.
ellis, although there r some negroes
in Louisiana who have more brains
than either Of them. Manhood
suffrage is what they despise. Still
the President has appointed Howell

RICE.

planted il? This little article is
given to the public as a kind Of his
torical fact concerning the greatest
Of our cereals, for every body ought
to know the history of the grain
which is making Southwest Louisiana
famous and has already done so
much towards advancing the price of
land in u parish. Land which 10
years ago could be bought for FROM 2!
81 to SIC. per acre, is now worth.
from $50 to $50 per acre, and in
some instances as high IS $500 per
acre was paid for land 1d! IN y Acadia sDa.dEt
parish.
In the year 1894, a Spanish vessel
was storm bound in the harbor OF
Charleston, 5. c., and lay there
=
some time undergoing repairs. While
there the captain Of the ship gave
. handful Of rough rice to Thomas
Smith, q citizen Of Charleston, who
planted the same in bis garden and
cultivated it carefully. The plant
thrived and bore abundantly. Smith
then gave some of the seed to his
neighbor, who also also planted them
and both were successful IN raising
crops and soon all the colonists were
interested in raising rice and thus
was developed from that single hand
full Of rough rice. the now world
famous Carolina or Golden. rice,
During the last half century the
rice production III the United States
has grown but little, and according
to the census Of the. year 1850, the
rice crop, of that year was almost
as large as the maximum crop reported
since then, and considerably larger
than the average crop Of the last ten
years.
This may seem incredible, but the
facts are, while we are developing
more rice lands in Louisiana, there is
a remarkable decline in the culture Of
rice q the. South Atlantic States, be-
cause the people of the. Carolinas
cannot compete with us in the raising
Of rice, for the greater part OF their
crops must be. cultivated as we do
cur cotton and: corr,
Theu again, more damage is done
Eto the rice crop of the Carolinas and
Georgia by storms than in this sec
zion Of the country.
The es land most suitable to the cuI-
ture OF rice ip the CaEgolinaa and
Georgia: is that lying, along some
river, and which. is. about thEee. feet
higher than low tide and from six to
twelve inches below high tide.
Much land which before the war
sold for from $120 to 5000 per acre
is nov abandoned and 10 covered
with a dense growth. Of marsh weeds,
and can now be bought from 80
cents to $3.50 per acre, and with
proper. drainage. can be reclaimed,
and if rice growing continues to be a
success, this will prove an excellent
investment, What the actual pros;
poets are for this industry it is hard
to tell, but it cannot be extended
very greatly without assistance from
the Governments IN construction Of
banks along. tide water streams.
