Triumphs Of Modern Surgery.
Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery.
Organs are taken out and scraped
and polished and put back, or
they may be removed entirely;
bones are spliced, pipes take the
place of diseased sections of
veins; antiseptic dressings are APP
piled to wounds, bruises, burns
aud like injuries before inflama-
ton sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and In
one-third the time required by
the old treatment. Chamberlin s
Pain Balm acts ON this same prin-
ciple. 1t is an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly.
It go allays the pain and sore
ness. Keep q bottle of Pain
Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not to
mention the Inconvenience and
suffering which such injuries
entail. For sale by ell dealers.

AFTER TIMBER TRESPAsSERs.

A proposed amendment intro
duced in the Legislature is of con-
siderable concern to the people
of this and other parishes where
the handling of timber is carried
or to any extent. Under act
1O3 of 1902. it is made unlawful
for anyone to wilifully cut. pull
down, burn. destroy, kill or dead
en- or carry or float away any tree.
wood or. timber growing on or
living on the land of another.
rhc penalty was fixed at lmpris-
onment in the penitentiary and 4
jury required 10 try the case.
Because of the severity of the
penalty it has been found prac-
5ically impossible to enforce the
law. This trespassing. however.
is great evil in certain sections
of the state and stase and other
dealers in timber have been
great sufferers therefrom. The
amendment looks to the trial
of these cases by the judge, the
penalty made a fine of not less
than $50 nor more than $500, and
imprisonment in the parish Jail
not to exceed two. years. 1t is
believed that if the amendment is
passed the trespassers will be
reached and the practice broken
up.
The bill provides that any per-
son who buys slaves or staye
TIMBER. trees or timber in single
sticks, cribs, blocks, RATS in
streams or woods or at sawmills
unpaid by the seller without ex-
acting from the seller written
affidavit that the timber has been
paid for or been cut from the
lands of the seller and is his prop
erty, the boundary of whose land
has been run by competent
surveyor, shall suffer like PEN
atty as the above. The failure of
the purchaser to exact this affi-
davit is to be considered prima
facie evidence Of fraud. The bill
is not intended to abate any
pending prosecution nor does it
interfere with the right of an
owner to recover for property
taken from him.

GOOD COTTON PRICES

1t is now conceded by the best
authorities that the cotton crop
for 19O4-5 will not be much In ex-
cess of the II, 100000 mark be-
yond which it has gone only twice
before, in 1898 and 1899. In this
estimate due consideration is
made for the amount of cotton
produced elsewhere-the East
Indies having raised a crop OF
| SOC, 900 bales last year when in
1899 they contributed only $4,000
to the worlds supply. After
making proper allowance for the
increase by all cotton producing
countries the New York Com
mercial expresses the highly en-
courging opinion that "the day
is a long way off when we shall
again see nine and ten cent cot
ton. The Commercial believes
that in spite of the enlarged acre
age due to the present high prices
cotton for a long time to come
will command more than ten
cents a pound. Under normal
conditions the, crop outlook
wonId mean lower prices, but the
Commercial. which is an accepted
authority. gives IFS reasons for be-
iieying that the conditions will
not be normal. 1t says:
"Owing to the high price of
cotton many cotton mills both in
this country and on the other
side OF tie Atlantic, have consid-
erabIy curtailed their output, and
as the consumption of cotton
goods is constantly increasing. it
would be only natural that there
should he an unusually large de-
mand for such goods in the near
future. The increased demand
for cotton goods would undoubt-
ediy be reflected in an increased
consumption of raw cotton-a
fact that would operate to keep
up. or at least prevent. a heavy
fall in the price of that staple. :"
The New York Commercial is
a very able and conservative
trade paper and rs we have said,
is regarded as an authority, hence
reliance can be placed in its pre-
diction OF good prices for cotton
during the coming season.
If for the next two or three years
the price of cotton runs from
twelve 10 fourteen cents apOunu
the south will become the most
prosperous section of the country
and its development and progress
along industrial lines will be so
rapid as to astonish the civilized
world. The future certainly
seems to be full of promise and
there is much reason to believe
that the lean years that were en-
dured so long and SO bravely are
things of the past, and the south
is now coming into her own again.

TO OUR FARMER FRIENDS.

TO OUR FARMER FRIENDS.
The Crowley Signal lectures its
farmer friends in the following
manner, and the same may be of
interest to our friends. Here Is
what the Signal says:
There is just one thing worse
than buying your vegetables.
your butter, your milk and your
fruit in tin cans and your smoked
bacon and hams in canvas sacks.
That is buying your groceries
from cheap out-of-town concerns
You've got right to buy axle
grease for butter if you perfer i
to the real article, churned at
home, the product of your owl
dairy. That's your business
Nobody can dispute your consti-
tutional right to pay two bits 2
pound for sowbelly put up il
heavy canvas bags, if you think ii
pays you better than to raise your
own pig meat at less than a fifth
of the cost. Nobody can gainsay
your right before the law to feed
little Willie and Susan and the
baby on condensed milk made il
New Jersey and you can use 1t
yourself if you like 1t better than
the kind Louisiana cove give. Ii
you want to, no man has any bu-
siness to call you down for paying
six dollars a barrel for Colorado
potatoes when you can raise bet
ter potatoes right at home for
about ten per cent of that figure.
The Signal has been joshing you
about these things for the last SIX
months, and you have taken it
good naturally. You have even
taken the Signals advice and
raised more vegetables. But
there is one thing more the Sig
nal feels that it ought to call
your attention to and give you
some wholesome advice about.
When you stop to thlnk it over
you will see that you are making
a grave mistake when you buy Of
these cheap grocery concerns who
jump into town, sell lots of cheap
stuff for cash, and jump out
again without leaving . dollar in
the town.
v; We have rather rubbed it into
the local grocers on your account,
I and now we are going to rub it
into you. You will take it all
right, because you know we have
your interests at heart.
You ought to be ashamed to
buy Of these aliens. Do they pay
q cent of taxes to help support
the town? Do they help main.
tain the schools that educate your
children? Do they help pay the
minister whose mission is to help
you and all of US to be decent?
DO they ever extend you cent
Of credit? Do they help you out
when you are in . hole2 Do they
carry you over to next year when
you are up against it? Do they
slap you on the shoulder and say
That's al right, old man, we're
up against it ourselves, and we
need the money; but we know who
our friends are, and we are going
4, stand By them Is long as we
camp
Don't you think it is . tribe
unjust to the local grocer to buy
your groceries out of town when
the local grocers are carrying 50
many of your neighbors and
friends-and possibly : little ac-
count Of your own?
The Signal hopes the local su-
thoritics will also take this matter
up, and if there is any way Of
soaking it to these non-taxpaying
foreigners, soak it to them good
and hard. We do not believe in
being clanish, but We believe in.
