HARD THINGS nc KILL.

Some of the common things. and not
all OF them pests and nuisances either.
are remarkably tenacious of life.
Among the good things. we mention
blue grass. the most insistent and ON
nipresent as we'll as one of the very
best of all our grasses. 1t wages Il new

on most of our weeds. 1t comes no one
knows Just how and pre-empts every
little spot in the forest where bit of
sunlight Denetrates. 1t nantes every
roadside and makes velvety every foot
path. 1t will cover the hummocky bog
when drained. and builds little noun
tains of turf and, creeps up every craggy
hillside wherever can be found foot
hold for any green thing. The more it is
pastured and fed off the thicker it be-
comes and the faster it will grow. 1t is

give up to the frosts in the fall. When
1t seems dead by drought II is only
resting and asleep. waiting for the first
fall shower to begin business again. 1t

ter SHOWS. II it is turned over by the
pillow it seems to enjoy it and begins
to grow t'othcr side up with greater
luXuriance than ever. 1t is one of the
persistent good things-insect. drought,
flood. blight and frost proof. On the
other hand, we have some pests which
exhibit the same characteristics. There
is the English sparrow. the common
victim of cats. owls. traps. poison.
guns. hailstorms-a tiny mite of vital
ity. with body no bigger than the
end of ones thumb, always living in
the very midst of his enemies. but
shrewd enough and prolific enough so
that his numbers constantly increase
in spite of them. at home as much with
the mercury at 40 below zero as 100

vegetable kingdom certain types of
weeds-purslane, pigeon grass. cookie

bers which, coupled with equally tena-
cious forms of insect life. keep the
farmer on the warpath all the time.

CROP NOTES.

AT last we were blessed with rain
which settled the dust Of streets and
walks and put the precious fluid in
our cisterns, but not enough has fallen
we could stand good long down pour
of twelve hours or so. The effect ON
the cane crop was good AZ it kept the
cane cool and moistened the planted
cane, and that put up for seed. The
remarkably cool weather has kept the
cane intact and we doubt II any will
be lost on account Of the early freeze.
The grinding is progressing rapidly
throug hout the Parish, excellent yields
are being obtained, better than last
week, as much as 100 lbs. Of first
sugars have been obtained from ten
of cane. Some Of the factories will
close down next week, nearly ali will
anisll in two weeks, thus ending one
Of the most remarkable seasons for the
cane crop ON record. We desire to re-
iterate our remarks Of last week, that
our farmers should not carry all their
eggs in one basket, but diversity, have
some Of all crops, but especially those
which contribute to the home living
such - vegetables, fruit. poultry and
l'ogs and sheep, which found in abund-
Ance on any farm gives peace and con-
tentment aud goes long way towards
keeping the wolf from the door.

WANT TO BARouT THE NEGROES.

inducing all the negroes in the South
to come North mean well, 10 doubt,
but we do not exactly see how the
problem is to be solved by hustling 1t
from one side of Mason aud Dixon s
line to the other. +"
This is not fair view for a New
Jersey newspaper to take of the mat
ter. For many years the people on
the northern side of Mason and Dixon $
line have loudly delared that the so
luton of the rare problem is an easy
task, and they have talked SO much as
to lead the nations on the other side
of the water to believe that they
knew all about the problem. Thoy
have repeatedly declared that solu-
tion of it could be found in the obli-
teration of the color line, and making
no race distinction whatever. This,
of course, involved the recognition OF
the social and political equality of
the negroes, but the moment there is
a suggestion made to remove the
blacks from the South to Northern ci-
ties instead of heading such movement
began to protest vigorously. They as
sert, among other things, that the
of the Northern States is not
suited to the negroes, in spite of the
fact that hundreds of thousands of
them already in the North do not ap,
pear to suffer from the climate condi-
tions, and IL is further asserted that
The negroes should remain in the
South, because this section can not
get along without their labor. It is
evident that the people of the North
are opposed to any large movement of |
negroes to their part of the country, |

HIGH LICENSE.

Thursday last the Police Jury met
in regular session, President Brittan
in the chair. routine business was dis
posed of. after which, the subject of
increasing the liquor license through
out the Parish was broached. The
minority refused to consider the mat
ter and abruptly absenting themselves
broke the quorum thus defeating all
attempts to consider the matter. 1t
is not to our credit that. while all
progressive communities. cities and
towns use this traffic as an ideal
source of revenue. our Police Jury re-
has placed, and will maintain IL
cense of One Thousand Dollars. on all
liquor saloons, and it was hoped it
would have the cooperation of the
Police Jury in similar action. but as
before stated the consumation was de-
feated. We trust the matter will
not be allowed to rest. but that it
will be brought up on every possible
occasion and strenously contended for
till victory is achieved. The placing
of high license at other points and
parishes of our State has been produc-
tive of much good to the general pub
lie 10y increasing the revenues. by
decreasing crime, consequently less
cost for prosecution of criminals,
which our records conclusively show
are but the emenations of strong drink
too easily obtained and indiscrimin-
ately sold by the cross roads saloon.
High license gives better security for
the protection Of property and life,
especially outside of incorporated
towns. where no police are on duty
nor officer of the law, handy to con-
serve the peace. We need funds for
various public improvements especial
ly the lettering of our roads and

furnish additional funds for this
and other purposes and W ould fall
principally OH those who pay no tax,
otherwise and who enjoy the blessings
of good government and protec ton

High license would have a tendency to
elevate the moral tone of our COM

barrel houses would be compelled to |
go out of business and left in the |
hands of those who could and would |
demand that decent respect for the
