On bare feet, Of which the skin grew
so tough as to enable him to run over

fast as a horse trots, fifty miles a day.
The Katiir who still goes barefoot can
do SO today. He used likewise to be

The great Cotton Growers Con.
ventioh assembled in New Or
leans this week, with something
over 1900 delegates in attendance.
This convention is for the purpose OF
devising q plan which will insure
. permanent price for the staple
and permit planters t. hold their
crop when prices shall not be sat-
isfactory. The present low prices
of the staple is attributed to the
heavy crop Of the past season.
which amounts to 14,OOO, 900 bales.
Taking the ravages Of the Mexican
boil weevil in consideration, there
Is no telling what the crop would
have been had it not been for this
destructive insect. Warehouses
for storage purposes are suggested
rs a remedy, but doubtless the
cheapest and best plan would be
a reduction in the acreage the
coming year. Planters, however.
should not forget that last year
was an exceptionally good one for
the growth of cotton. They NAV
not have another such year for
many years to come and any ma.
terial reduction of acreage NAV
operate too much of q shortage.

Since the action of Congress
man Broussard and Senator Fos-
ter with regard to the construction
Of the locks at Plaquemines, men
ton of which was made in our
last issue, it now crops out that
work on these locks has never
been for once stopped and that it
has progressed right along. A
thrust is made at our representa-
tives for being SO poorly posted
about the matter in their urgent
appeal to the War Department in
Washington. This is rather sur
prising, indeed, and if the report
Of increasing activity be true, why
is it that the completion of the
locks Is SO far behind the time al
lotted therefor, as clearly shown
by curl able Congressman? For
this very reason the work ought
to be completed as speedily as
possible and our representatives
in Congress can not urge the mat
ter any too strong.

Do Not Suppress a Cough.

When you have cough do not try te
suppress it, but remove the cause The
cough is only symptom of some disease
and :he disease is what yon should cure,
then the cough will stop of itself. The
most common cause of coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chloroform opium, etc. are used for
that purpose, but they do not cure the
cold. ChamberIain's Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves ii by removing from
the throat and lungs the mucus which
obstructed the breathing and ALA! ing
the irritation and tickling in the throat
1t also opens the secretions and effectu-
ally and permantly cures the cold as
well as the cough.

The strikes n s.. Petersburg,
Russia, brought on collision De-
tween troops and strikers a few
days ago in which large number
of the latter were killed. The
bntchery has been everywhere
denounced. No further blood.
shed has occurred since, but the
whole Empire is in a state of great
ferment. The latest information
is to the effect that the Gar has
ordered the enactment of laws
that will relieve the strikers and
greatly minimize the oppression
to which they are subjected, and
the troubles are now expected to
abate. A rumor is current that,
on account of internal troubles,
Russia may put an end to war
with Japan.

Good Road Movement

"The State Of Louisiana will
give an impetus to good road
building this winter such as has
never before been given to any
State in the Union," says States.
''The State University at Baton
Rouge has arranged to have one
OF the leading good roads experts
OF the United States, Prof. Charles
T. Harrison, a representative of
the public roads department OF the
United States Agricultural depart
ment, on its staff of lecturers dur.
ing the entire winter. These lec-
lures will not be mere abstract
talks, but will be illustrated by
the actual construction Of good
roads out of all the available road
building material known in the
State or in contiguous States that
might be practically applied in
this State. Short sections of road
will be built out of oyster shells.
out of ebert, out of gravel, out Of
crushed stone, out of ciuders. out
OF clay, out of the common soil.
All the latest and most up-to-date
road building machinery known
anywhere to road builders will be
into the State capital
and used in these demonstrations.
At fixed periods there will be held
conventions so that the parish
omclals may come to Baton Rouge
and see what is going on. It is
the ambition of the authorities of
the University who have under.
taken the movement to have a per.
good roads association in
every parish of the State before
The end Of the present year and
because of the interest the educa-
tional Institution is taking in the
matter. "-Ex.
