KNOCK THE KNOCKERS.

The Richland Beacon News pub
lished at Rayville, is stirring
things up in the most approved
fashion, urging upon the people
the need of united and energetic
action in all matters pertaining to
the upbuilding and general well
fare of the town and parish. I'm
der the head of "Rayville Has
Hers" the Beacon News very
properly raps that class Of in
dividuals known as knockers" in
this style:
every town and every com
munity is inhabited by few in
dividuals who never lend any as
sistance, financially or otherwise,
to any public enterprise, but rather
"knock' everything that is meant
to help build up their town Of
this class of humanity Rayville has
her full quota, and they are always
ready to "get busy with the ham
mer" when ever a movement is on
foot looking 10 the welfare and
prosperity of their own town.
"Unless they can see something
that will aid them materially to
the detriment Of all others, they
never allow their selfish names to
be placed on the list.
awe live in the hope that there
is not enough of this element in
Rayville to seriously handicap the
many enterprises that are now be-
ing thought Of"
There is but one way for COM
munity to get back at the class OF
people the Beacon-News describes
and that is to give them some of
their own medicine-knOck them
and knock them hard. No indi-
vidual, it matters not how much
money or influence he has, can
afford to bring upon himself the
odium of being an INSTRUCTOR and
a chronic kicker, always standing
in the way of his fellow citizens,
and the material prosperity of his
town and section. All that is
necessary is to make that class Of
individuals understand that they
are not bigger than the community
in which they live; and that for
every blow they give they may
expect two in return. Don't mince
matters but brand them as obstruc-
tionists, and tell them if they don't
like it to move to some place where
they can be in accord with public
sentiment. They won't be missed
if they 60, and better men will
soon take their places. A man
who cannot do his duty to the COM
munity in which he lives has no
right to expect any consideration
whatever from his neighbors, who
are devoting their time and energy
and spending their money to help
him as we'll as themselves. A
good square fight against such in
dividuals will soon bring them to
their senses. -Shreveport Times.

PROF. BLOUIN'S LETTER.

We omitted in our last issue to pub
lish the letter of Prof. Blouin, of the
Experiment. Station, relating to the
analysis of the water obtained from
the we'll at at the Power House, we dc
so now and invite the perusal of our
readers as it treats of the quality OF
the water that will be offered to our
consumers in the near future, by this
letter our people will see that We have
good quality of water adopted to all
purposes.
New Orleans, La, July, 4, 'O4
Mr.. r. S. Mcmahon, New Iberia, La.
Dear SRI enclose you analysis OF
sample of water received from you a
few days ago, regarding which l tele-
graphed you on the I'd, giving you re-
latively it's contents. This water may
be classed as good water for both
boiler purposes and for any domestic
uses to which it may be applied Its
solids are largely composed of carbon
ates, principally carbonate of lime.
1t is low in chlorines, and whereas it
has fairly good content of free am
nonia, it does not show any indica-
tiOns OF contamination, owing to the
low chlorine content accompanying it.
1t is also low in organic matter, the
volatile solids being only "A parts per
million. l am glad to know that you
have as good water as this at depth
of SOB feet, as mentioned to US.
With kind regards,I am,
Very truly yours,

I glanced ahead, an" holy couplin' pins
