God that he had lived to see the day when
tho facts he had told about the Obongo
dwaIfs and the gorilla OF West Africa were

truth, though for many years his veracitv
had been questioned and the truth he had

Of being indicated during his life, in which
respect he was more fortunate than many

Du Chaillu was fortunate after ALL He
had at least the comfort of knowing in his

Our people are losing faith in
the cultivation of rice as a paying
crop. Last year was unfavorable
for that crop, this year the sowing
season was bad, but after the crop
was up everything looked very ia
vorsble, with plenty of rain fall in
the irrigating season. but when
the cutting time came every plan
ter was surprised and dissppoin-
ted, as rice that was estimated to
give twelve and. fifteen sacks per
acre. only produced seven, eight
and ten sacks. From what We can
understand nearly every rice plan
ter in this parish will come out
loser. There is no doubt that the
rice crop 10 this section is not do
| ing what is claimed for ii else
where. Our people will have to
abandon this crop or improve the
manner of cultivation and reduce
the expenses considerably. Un-
der the present conditions and the
expensive cultivation, rice cannot
be produced advantagously.

The Rees faction appealed
their case of contest before the

that our wire pullers handled that
committee just as they wanted.
