PECULIAR LyNchINd.

Chicago, H., Aug 81. A dispatch
to the Inter Ocean from Weimer, Tex,
says:
While incarcerated In Jail Oscar Lee
Tucker, a II year-old negro, under ar
rest for attempted rape, has been mys.
teriously lynched. The officials are
unable to determine just when or how
the act was committed.
Minnie Schultz, the 10 year -old
daughter of wealthy farmer, was
attacked by Tucker.
He was arrested soon afterward and
placed in Jail. Three hours later
when the officers went to the cell to
take the prisoner into court they found
him hanging by his neck dead.
The cage had not been broken into,
but he had forty foot rope around
his neck, and his head was drawn up
to hole in the cell about eight inch
es in width and not ever four feet from
the floor. used to pass food through TO
the prisoners. His feet were tied
close together with cords. There is
no clew to the perpetrators.

PEABODY ASKS FOR MONEY.

New York, Aug. 31.-George
Foster Peabody, treasurer Of the
Democratic national committee, is
sued to-day an appeal for funds, in
which he said:
'At the next national election
over IA 900, 900 votes will be cast,
and the task of presenting to this
vast electorate the various issues Of
the campaign and the records Of
the respective candidates is one
which involves the expenditure Of
a large sum OF money.
unlike its well intre nched an
tag0nist, the Democratic party has
no favored or protected interests to
whom it may turn for campaign
funds. Its reliance for the neces.
sary funds must be upon patriotic
citizens who believe that the cause
OF constitutional, honest aud eco
nomical government and the Just
and equal enforcement OF law are
involved in this campaign. The

EDUCATIONAL MEETING.

At the Opera House, Thursday
night according to announcement, the
meeting in the interests of Education
was held. Hon. A. J. Cammack call
cd the meeting to order and announc-
ed the song America by "a voices,
which was rendered in first calss style
and with patriotic ardor which was
followed by an artistic piano solo by
Miss l.. Broussard Mr.. Cammack
then made a few energetic and force
full remarks, bearing on the school in
terest of this parish and the duty of
our citizens in the premises deprecat-
ing the Indifference and neglect of the
people in school matters. He then in.
troduced Hon. Jas. b. Aswell State
Superintendent of Education who made
most elaborate address in which he
covered the conditions, educationally,
of the parish, showing the great need
of the united cooperation of the peo-
pie with their school board in bring
ing about healthy and prosperous
condition of affairs. The sacred obli-
cations Of all in sustaining the teach
ers who in good faith are discharging
their arduous duties and whose com,
iota As a means to this end, he
urged the people to levy special tax
of sufficient proportions, to produce
the necessary revenues The address
was replete with fine sentiments and
good advice coming from one whose
eloquent words gave evidence of the
burden that lies on his heart. the lift
ing of the veil of ignorance that
hangs as pail over the entire State.
A very small audience heard this re-
markable and useful address. Some
excuse may be made based on the
weather which was very inclement
the whole day and evening, but even
that should not have deferred many
from performing manifest
duty. Nevertheless the meeting was
productive of much good and will no
doubt exert good influence for the
future

CROP NOTES.

The past week has on the whole
been propitious for the crops. Rice
harvesting has been pushed with vigor
and large area has been gone over,
threshing ard deliveries have been
general. Shipping has been light ow-
ing to the low prices. Warehousng
is generally followed. Cotton is be-
ginning to come in, not a few first
bales, have been ginned the quality is
good and prices profitable, thirty and
thirty one dollars per thousand pounds
in the seed has been paid. The area
of cotton is larger than ever before in
this parish and the prospects for
large yield is flattering. We hear of
worms in small numbers but not
enough to work any great harm
Many of our sugar planters have put
in large crops Of cotton this year, sew
eral of 500 acres or more can be shown.
The cane crop is record smasher not
for years has the cane been so forward
at this time of the year a longer and
larger cane can be cut at this date
than could have been cut the middle
of last October and the stand il good.
We expect to hear of 20 and 25 ton
yields this year which at prices now
being offered viz "a. 90 per ton will
give the cane producer fine profit.
Corn is being gathered rapidly and
sweet potatoes are already in the mar
ket Truly this is a region blest
above all others with three staple crops
all good, and then the numerous side
crops combine to make this one of the
finest agricultural regions in the
world.
Fall gardens are being made and

THEATRICAL. SEASON OPENING.

The doors of the Vendome Opera
House will be thrown open to the
public OH next Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday nights by the Bos tonOpera
Company. Judging from subjoined
comments which we reproduce from
the Alexandria Town Talk, we have
reasons to believe the above company
of artists will give satisfaction to the
most fastidious
"The second season at the Rapdes
theatre was opened last night under
good circumstances, the play being
everything artistically that could be
desired, and as the house was nearly
more tunefui, catchy opera has not
been written than 1.-The Mikado''
which made the reputation of the
great composers, Gilbert Il Sullivan.
The audience made the singers respond
be repeated curtain calls after each
of the principal song hits, Three
Little Maids from School, LTD
Willow, - He's Going to Marry Yum
Yum, "'The Flowers That Bloom
in Spring.
Miss julie Foreman sang and acted
the part of "Yum Yum" in an excep-
tionally clever and finished manner
and won the house Immediately upon
her first appearance. She was ably
assisted throughout by Misses Meredith
and Haines, and after the first act
everybody was looking on their pro-
gram to see who "the little blonde
was.
The Katasha of Miss Lillian Shat
tuck gave ample opportunity for the
display of her rich contralto voice and
some clever character work. Ed. l..
Weston as Naka Poo, the Mikado's son
is the possessor of beautiful tenor
voice and he was good throughout
The comedian Mr. Leslie as koka'
kept the house in an uproar and was
rs funny as the part allows. He will
be seen to better advantage on the
operas to be produced from now on as
the Mikado' though beautiful mus
cially is rather devoid of horse play
or hillarous comedy.
Mr.. Burgess as the Mikado and the
balance of the cast gave clever inter
pretations of their parts and the
chorus is made of pretty girls and
good voices.

CITATION.
THE COTTON CROP AND PRICES.

Mr.. Editor-We have the prospec
of making large cotton crop thi
year and If we could get anything like
the present prices for it the farmers
and all classes of the communit,
would be prosperous and happy The
crops of the last two years have no.
been very large and not sufficient tt
supply the spindles and manufacturers
of the world. The result has beer
the price has advanced until the farm
ers and planters have been able to re.
deem some of the losses they incurred
when they only got from five to six
cents per pound for it. 1t matters
not how large the present crop may
be every bale Of it will be needed to
keep the spindles of the world going
and should bring at least from nine
to ten cents. But what do we see.
The manufacturers in this country
and the world are shutting down their
factories and doing their best to still
further reduce prices by combinations
to keep out of the market until they
reduce prices to suit themselves know
ing the producers Of cotton are depend
ent on their crops to pay their debts
aud supply their families with the
comforts and necessities of life. They
think they can reduce prices to suit
themselves and will do SO unless some
thing il done to prevent them.
What is the remedy? 1t is, In the
first place for all who can do so to
hold their cotton. For those not able
to hold. the banks, merchants and all
classes should wait on them and if
not possible to do that make advances
to them to the amount of eighty per
cent. at least 80 as to enable them to
hold their cotton and not be compelled
to sacrifice it. am confident we
have the money to do this and If we
10 not, we will have no difficulty in
getting it, For there is no better CO.
lateral for money than warehouse
receipts for cotton. Every city and
own that deals in cotton should be
veil supplied with warehouses for
his purpose. In this way we could
lold our cotton and not be compelled
o sacrifice it and always get fair prices
or 1t. The manufactures, through
ut the world make combinations for
his purpose and not only are doing
0, but in Europe, especially England,
rance and Germany are ransacking
Lfrica and the whole world trying to
nd some country where they can pro-
uce cotton, SO as not to be dependent
n our country for supply. Their
forts will be vain, they will not be
BILE to produce cotton profitably.
mrs is the best country in the world
, far discovered for the production of ,
,tton. We have the soil, the climate
nd the people, who understand the !
lltivation and preparation for mar
1t and we can supply the whole
orld, provided we get price that
i'll be profitable. We can produce !,
teen or twenty million bales II me- !
ssary. 80 long a. it will be profit /,
lie. Neither we, nor any other peo-
9 could afford to raise the staple at +
loss. !
