NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The cotton market the past few
days was somewhat of a huctua-
ting disposition, with downward
tendency. Last Saturday the cot
ton in the seed opened at $50 per
thousand pounds and during the
day it went down, some of the
buyers paying $2S and another
paying 500. The planters are not
very much in a hurry to sell. they
are advised to hold their cotton for
IL and 10 cts per pound, and they
are inclined to do SO. The plan
ters realize more than the specu-
lators that the cotton crop will be
short. The reports from every
cotton section is that the crop has
been damaged and considerably
reduced; if we are to judge from
our own experience we can believe
the reports to be true, because in
this section of the state, if one
half crop is made. we consider the
planters will have every reason to
be satisfied, because the weather,
the bugs and the caterpillars have
worked against them, and have
caused untold injury to the crop.

PARISH MAKING GREAT STRIDES IN
EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
Timcs-Democrat.


st. Martin parish claims to have
levied more special taxes for edu-
'cational purposes and to have
erected more public schools dur
ling the past four years than any
'other parish in the State of Lou
iisiana. 1t also claims the distinc-
'tion of having been the frs. CON-
immunity in Louisiana to vote for a
especial tax under the law of 1898,
and it is now doing all in its pow
'er to maintain as high grade in
tpublic schools as prevailing condi-
itions will permit.
These points were emphasized
by two among the many residents
%. st. Martinville who took advan-
stage of the excursion rate offered
by the Southern Pacific yesterday,
former State Senator To. Liable,
president of the Beard of School
Commissioners of tie parish, and
j. G. Daspit, parish superinten-
dent of public schools. These two
will spend couple-of days at the
'Denechaud Hotel. Both gave
some interesting figures in connec-
'tion with the educational work
that is being carried on.
Four years ago but 900 pupils
were enrolled in the parish. Last
years rolls showed 5000. Within
that mefourteen new school-hou-
Sses were built, and three high
schools are soon to be maintained
by the parish. Within few weeks
the parish will probably votesin
favor of a new high school at
Breaux Bridge, costing between
$4,000 and $4,000. BY the end of
the present year there will not be
a child in the parish living more
'one and a half mile from a school
house.
I'VE IRE making wonderful pro-
;gress in the education of the Gre
.oles. who are largely in the major
ity in our parish" said Mr.. Liable.
ave are employing only trained
'teachers, whom we engage through
the Peabody Normal training
school at Nashville, Tenn, and fif-
teen new teachers from that insti-
tuition will arrive this week. They
ARE well equipped for the educa-
tion of the French-speaking popu-
aation, having their own original
methods, and the result the most
gratifying.

thing to relieve the pitchy dark,
neither party was injured, but DIR.
Sanders fine mare received inter-

next day. 1t is unfortunate that
the loss of life was confined to the
animal. With Egyptian darkness
that reigns on our streets it is a
miracle that human lives are not

Tim c,mpbelrs Famou. Phrases.

No one has yet risen to question
the late Tim CampbelIs authorship
of the celebrated phrase, whats
the constitution between friends -
Although the assertion is made that
Tim did not clothe the query
with quite as much terseness and
brevity, it is said Mr.. Cleveland, to
whom the former congressman di-
rected this question, saw the posi-
bility of making a gem of it, and,
with the skilled literary touch for
which he is famous, polished it of
and gave it to the world in its pres
ent perfect form
Since Tim Campbell's death an
effort has been made to place an
unearned laurel on his grave The
statement has been made that he
originated the title, His Nibs,
and first applied. it to the Presi
dent of the United States. This
according to a well informed Chi
cago man now sojourning in New
York, is an ignorant attempt to
rob the once celebrated Congress
man LAWYER, now some years dead.
of a glory that has always been
lis. Frank LAWYER represented a
Chicago district in congress during
Mr. Cleveland's first term, and he
was great favorite with Mrs.
Cleveland, who could always b.
amused at his drollery. 1t was re-
lated of Eawler fourteen years ago
that on the occasion of one of his
frequent visits to the White House
Mrs. Cleveland pressed him to sit
down and talk a bit. Frank had a
very weighty political matter on his
mind, and he wanted to see the
president. Private Secretary Dan
lei Lamont happening to come into
the room at that moment, Lawler
paused in the midst of a story and
inquired: IS His Nibs in. Dan ?"

A remarkable incident in ship.
ping is the run of the French bark
Alice Marie, now off the Capes,
bound from San Francisco to New
York. Notwithstanding she has
not pound of cargo, she will have
earned 5000 for her owners on
the run. She left San Francisco
on December 10 on a voyage of a.
coo miles around Cape Horn. On
March 80, in latitude 5000, longi-
tude 74.4o, she was spoken by the
Norwegian steamship Freke, and
was reported by that steamer yes
terday. The cash she will receive
will come from the French govern
ment under the subsidy laws of that
republic. Every mile she covers
means so MANY francs, which in
II ooo-r1ile passage amounts to
over $1,000. Freight on the Pa
cihc coast were so much depressed
when the A.ice Marie arrived {.
San Francisco that her owners or
dered her to Philadelphia TO load
for the Orient. Vessels of other
nationalities having no subsidy
were obliged to accept what they
could or tie up. Every year under
the laws of France the. subsidy is
growing less, and the owners arc
determined to make a good thing
of it while it lasts.

SAND PLURALITY.

st. Louis, Nov. 10.-Slow progress
has been made toward an accurate
count of Missouris vote, but partial
returns show remarkable Republican
gains in st. Louis and generally
throughout the state. In many coun-
ties the usual Democratic plurality
was cut in half The Republican state
committee insists that final figures
will show Republican majority of
10000 on the national ticket.
That Joseph w. Folk, Dem, has car
ried the state for governor was the
claim made generally, but figures CD
the state result were lacking. The
Democratic state committee asserted
that Folk will have majority of 3d.
900. Complete returns show that St.
Louis has gone Republican, with the
exception that she rallied for Joseph
w. Folk, DEM, with a plurality of over
10000. With all the Democratic mu-
nicipal candidates save one defeated
with pluralities ranging from 900 to
5000 Folk carried st. Louis over Cyrus
P. Walbridge by a plurality of 10,OS8.

legislature will be Republican by two
or three votes on joint ballot. The

THOUSANDS OF MESSAGES.
President Roosevelt Is Overwhelmed
With Congratulations. a.

! Washington, Nov. 10.-President
Roosevelt was overwhelmed with con-
CALCULATIONS during the day. They
were presented by many people in per-
son and were received by mail and by
telegraph from every state and from
almost every city in the country.
Thousands Of kilograms already have
been received and they are coming yet
in an undiminished flood. Four op-
orators were kept busy all day receiv-
Ing the messages over the wires at the
White House telegraph bureau. Before
noon one operator alone had taken
more than 800 kilograms. The others
were equally busy. 1t will be ply
sically impossible for the president and
Secretary Loeb to acknowledge each
message received in accordance with
usual custom at the White House, but
President Roosevelt desires it to be
understood that he appreciates to the
fullest extent the expressions of his
friends and would be glad if it were
possible for him personally to greet
and thank every one of them.
The president was in exuberant
spirits. Although he did not retire
until late hour the previous night he
reached the executive Offices early and
not till then did he read the morning
papers. After glancing over them he
read few of the thousands of tele.
grams Of congratulation which had
been received and examined bulletins
of the latest returns from the cleo.
ton. He was advised that the Re.
publicans had carried Maryland,

LAND OF GREAT POSSIBILITIES.
The splendid vote cast for President

proves what land of splendid oppor-

The great vote cast for the presi-

personal tribute to Roosevelt. The
people like man who does things.
They have firm confidence in his hon
esty. They like the man himself.
People like to vote as we'll for a man
as for an idea.
Roosevelt, the idea, got the
votes of thousands of conservative
thinking, republicans and Roosevelt,
the man, got the votes of additional
thousands of voters, not allied with
party, but anxious to testify to their
appreciation of a splendid personal
It was splendid showing. Twenty
years ago the president, merely raw
lad, was upon the plains in the west
ern part of this state, a youth just out
of college, with lots Of energy and
firm convictions of right.
Today, less than fifty years of age,
the president is perhaps the most con-
spicuous figure in the political eco
nomy of the world.
It is q great showing.
