Her Revenge.

The dinner was in progress. 1t was
a dinner given in honor of some very
important new acquaintance Just
before the guests arrived the master
of the house had been intensely rude
and annoying to his wife, and she had
not forgotten it. There was mo-

Then the wife leaned forward and in
a voice soft, but loud enough to at

TO THE corro4 PRODUCERS OF LOUISIANA.

At meeting of the executive committee of the Southern
Cotton association held at Ashville North Carolina Sep
TENDER 9Th 1905 minimum price oeleven cents pound
fixed for the cotton being marketed and | ear
nesty request all farmers and cotton producers OF Lousl
sell single pound of their cotton for less
than eleven cents present. and by all means sell as little
possible timethereby extending the time OF mark
citing your crop eight ten MONTHS instead OF four
months formerly. l. of course, would be glad to see
every farmer get much than eleven cents for his
crop as possible but under consideration sell any
cotton for less than that price
The Southern Cotton association made careful esti-
mate of the growing crop, and find the figures orthe whole
south cannot exceed bales owing to the very short
crops in most of the states, and the minimum price OF
eleven cents present fixed after careful deberaOn
and investigation. 1t is my opinion however, that all
those who hold their cotton until spring will receive
very high price for it, there be doubt of very
short crop this year and very long price late next spring
Most of the people of Louisiana have made such short
crops that price of - cents per pound for what they
raise this year would not pay Them and they certainly
cannot afford to sell for less than the minimum price fixed
by cotton association. PAUL NJ. PORTS,

NO SALOONS FOR WELSH.

This column is open to discussion
of the question of "No saloons for
Welsh" We have no objection to
giving both sides hearing.
For ourselves, world wide prohibit
ton is our first choice. AS we can't
have that we'll take national, or state.
Or district, or parish, or ward, or cor
poration prohibition. We believe
saloon is always a communicating in
huence. 1t cannot fail to send more
than one to ruin, tocause untold heart
ache and suffering, and to curse the
lives of innocent little children.
In spite of the assertion that more
liquor is drank without saloons than
with them, it is the testimony of the
families of drunkardS over and over
that they have less drunkenness. and
are consequently happier when there
are no open saloons. 1t is certainly
reasonable that there should be
less drinking when the daily tempta-
tions of sight and smell are removed.
The sutferingS Of grown people are
bad enough, but when one has watched
with gh-strung, nervous child for
the homecoming of a drunken parent
the right to drink moderately when
one CAM is seen to be nothing but
hideous selfshness.
WeareopDosed to saloons within any
area of territory. The argument that
if the saloons were voted out of Welsh
they would appear on the edge of town
seems aOw to have no force, since one
is on the edge of town anyway, as well
as within it.
The more remote they are from the
heart of town, the fewer children will
have to see them. The less alcohol
consumed the less harm done. tap
pears to us that the more convenient a
solOon is the more patronage it will
get. A man has to wanta drink pretty
bad to 60 one-half or three-fourths of
mile out of his way to get it.
And speaking about tainted" mon
ey. What about saloon license mon
ey? Strange that saloon paying no
license appears to every one in it,
true light, but the shine of the license
money blinds many good people to its
evils. We believe the law that per-
mits evil to be done for hush money
paid is WRONG withoutqualitication.
