There is considerable kicking
by those of our citizens who have
to 60 to work early in the morn
ing about the electric lights being
turned off at the hour they are,
and before it is possible to see to
do any indoor work by the light
of day. The kick is not amiss, and
we have often wondered why some
formal action had not been taken
by the people. The evil is so glar-
ing as to render argument unnec-
essary, and we trust that our eff
cient superintendent, or whoever
have authority in the premises,
will see that we have "store-bought"
lights until the Great Electrician
up there sees fit and proper to turn
on the universe the bright rays of
Old Sol.

The Clarion is twelve years
old to-day. It's quite a colt yet,
but it's been in the front trenches
in many a hard-fought battle,
and its battle-fag is still waving
aloft, the recognized Democratic
paper of this section, the official
journal Of the parish, Of the school
board and of the town of Opelousas,
with over double the circulation of
any other paper in the parish. The
popularity and success Of the Clar-
ion is a source Of qualification to
MS; pity tits that it is constant
menace to peace Of mind and good
cheer of some people; aye, so much
SO that the disease has now assum-
ed a chronic form, periodically
bursting out in violent but harm
less fits. But as you can't cure
dogs of fits, the case is hopeless.

WHY LIGHTS WENT OUT.
Connecting Fuse Burned Out a
 Power Plant.


 For about ten minutes yesterday even ing Montgomery was shrouded in dark ress. fuse at the plant of the Mont gomery Light and Power Company burn ed out at o'clock and darkness envel- oped the city.
 The arc lights on the streets spluttered a second and went out The thousands of incandescent lights in Montgomery were instantaneously snuffed out Stores, of- fees, hotels and private residences be- came dark in the twinkling of an eye. The dark ten minutes in an early winter evening emphasized how important elec- tricity had become to Montgomery's daily life. Only the users of gas and those who continue to use kerosene were free from the annoyance of the ten minutes of darkness.
 The city was dark because of the burn ing out of a connecting fuse on the line conveying the electric power from the compaAy's power house at Tallassee tc MontgoSAery. The fuse was located al the company's local plant in North Mont. gomery.
 The break was. of course discovered immediately and was quickly repaired
