OVER PRODUCTION.
A Course That VIII Ruin Any Bus1e
ness-A Hint to Southern
Cotton Planters.

Several years ago spirits OF turpen-
tine went down to "a cents. Naval
operators were doing losing business.
They called a convention, and resolved
to curtail the next crop OF boxes "a
per cent. The naval factors served no
tice on all operators that unless they
complied with this agreement, no f1nan-
cial aid would be extended them. The
result was spirits of turpentine went
up to IS cents the next spring. 1t has
been going up ever since, and the naval
operators have grown rich.
This ought to be an object lesson for
the farmers right at this time. 1t
teaches that reproduction will ruin
any business in the world. 1t applies
as much or moro to cotton than any
thing else. The farmers have had les
sions along this line in the years that
have gone by.
Many of them were bankrupted, and
all suffered great pecuniary depres-
sion. They are just now recovering
from the effects of their own folly. II
the reports which reach us from all Sec
tons be true, they are preparing to re.
peat history. AS Sam Jones would put
it, they are preparing to "act the fool,
again. Fifteen cents cotton is causing
them to lose their heads.
The farmer who plants large cot
ton crop and small grain crop, and a
small grain crop always means small
meat crop, is going to chit the grit,
and hit it hard. There is but one safe
rule, raise an abundance of hog and
hominy and moderate cotton crop.
Keep the cotton crop inside of 1o,-
0OO, 900 bales, not over 10,500,000 bales
at the outside. Do this, and they will
live at home and obtain fancy prices
TO. their cotton next fall.
Every individual farmer has part
to play, namely, plant all the corn that
he can fertilize and cultivate well.
Save all the hay that grows on his
farm. Make potatoes and everything
else that will feed man or beast, and
be sure to keep his cotton crop within
the proper bounds. A blind man ought
to see it-Cor. Southern Culuvator.

Nothing is more certain within the

a course Of Peruna in early springtime
will perfectly and efectually prevent
or cure this almost universal affection.

each parish will get if the million
dollar bond is carried at the CON-
ing election, with q view we pre-
sumo to tempt the people to vote
the tax. St. Martin parish would
get ST., 1895. The Parish of st.
Martin don't need that money, al
most every ward of this parish
voted special taxes to build their
school houses, and whore more are
needed the people will vote the
necessary money. Other parishes
can do az we did If they want
school houses, let them pay for
them, they will be more careful
about seeing that their money is
properly expended than if it comes
to them as gift that they will
have to make good in payment Of
taxes. This proposition should be

Letter to James Simon
st. Martinviile


Dear Sir: As your business is to
get people into and out of trouble,
suppose you consider their paint;
it makes 'em almost as much trou-
BILE as money, except of course ma
trimony.
They buy poor paint good deal;
they don't mean to; they don't
know any better; they buy without
thinking. Bad paint isn't good.
II looks good-enough for a year;
they begins to get rusty; but
changes SO slowly, one don't notice
it.
Looking isn't all. The business
of paint is to keep a house dry in
side, the wood and iron of it; keep
it from rotting and rusting. Takes
good paint to do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at
one price or about that. One can't
60 by the price at all; as with
lawyers, the price has nothing to
do with goodness or badness; and
costs are worse yet; the painter
and sheriff come-in for their share.
But the probability lie that a
man, who paints Devoe, will come
out on top.

POLICE JURY WRONGLY
CRITICISED.

tissue OF last week takes up the
cause of the Police Jury, because
of the criticism that is being heap
ed upon them, and in a feeble
way, presents the Police Jurors as
innocent victims who have been
wrongly criticised.
The cause of the criticism is
due to the exposure made by Mr..
p. r. Roy, who resigned as men,
Der of tho Police Jury because he
could not get the information as to
how the Police Jury stood, the old
members who are still on the Pc.
lice Jury could not give an &C
count of what Mr.. Roy wanted to
know, and as that information
could not be obtained, Mr.. Roy
resigned, because he did not want
to assume responsibility without
knowing the basis upon which be
was to work. The three old men,
bers Of the Police Jury should
have told Mr.. Roy that the Parish
owed 30 much money, that they,
during the past four years had q
revenue Of 30 much, giving the
sources from whence came that
revenue, and that it was expended
g per accounts that should have
been submitted to him.
The public have q right to know
low much money was collected
from them and for what purpose
y vas expended.
The Police Jaries prior to 1900
have created debts that were ne
cessary for the building of bridges,
Tor the public good, the Police
Jury then, and also the tax payers
expected that Subsequent Police
Juries would have honored these
debts, it was just and proper for
the Police Jury to pay or set aside
: sinking fund to. meet the pay
ment Of old debts and preserve
the credit and good name of the
parish.
Had those debts not been cres-
ted BY the old Police Juries, the
bridges built and due by the pa
rish would have been in ruin TO-
day and would have necessitated
the construction of these bridges
and the Police Jury would have
been forced to find way of pay
ing for same or creating a debt;
what difference can the Police Ju-
~ make between paying for q
bridge and building one and pay
for the same.
The Banner advances the argu-
ment that the Police Jury had no
right to pay these old debts, it
seems to be pretty deep in legal
matters. But 10 30 Tar as matters
u right are being discussed, please
tell rs. Banner, If it would not
have been right for the Police Ju-
~ to turn over to the King Bridge
Co, at least the amount that was
collected from the Town of st.
Martinville, az it's share on said
bridge. instead of merging that
amount into the general funds of
ahe parish, give us your legal OPT
nion on that Banner.
We advance the assertion that
the Police Jury has not been le-
eslly advised on this subject, be-
cause We understand that in maxi
ing the last budget the Police Ju-
~ could have put $500 to meet
the payments of the old debts. I'd
they have put that amount aside
for such purpose, it would, at
least. show good will, and dispo-
