An Expression of Thanks.

"Uncle" Ralph Watson, janitor at the
Court House and Jail, is well known and
liked in this community and by many
residents of the parish living elsewhere.
He was born in antebellum days, is an
ex-slave and is strictly of the old school
loving the memory of his former pro-
tectors and providers, and is polite and
courteous to all. 'Uncle" Ralph's chill
dren have apparently inherited many of
his good traits. The following is from
one of his daughters and is an expression
of thanks to those who aided her in
securing the scholarship referred to:
Having won the Bryan Four-year
Scholarship of Williams Industrial Col
lege, Little Rock, Ark, / take great
pleasure in making it known to my many
friends (both white and colored) who so
willingly contributed and proved in
every way interested in my success.
am indeed proud to be the successful
contestant. thank you as much as
words can tell, but words cannot express
my heartfelt gratitude to you for your
kindness. AS you have made my life
brighter, SO shall endeavor to scatter
sunshine along the pathway of others,
and above all, prove worthy of what you
have done for me.

The Confederate Viewers.

During the Confederate War the women of the
South showed what could be accomplished with the
primitive looms and spindles worked by hand and
treadle in weaving flax, cotton and wool into cloths
and other fabrics for wearing. These patriotic and
untiring women wove the cloths and made the
clothes and underwear required by the army and
for the rest of the population. The amount of
weaving that they did if ascertaned would be amaz-
ing. Thousands upon thousands of the Southern
women of to-day would gladly carry on profitable
and formidable competition with the big cotton
manufactures abroad if the facilities were given
them to do it in small factories equipped with few
looms and worked with the simple electric motor.
Combinations to impovish the South by reducing
the price of cotton, should be met by growing COM
petition in the manufacture of cotton fabrics we'll
as by concerted refusals of the growers to sell their
cotton at prices that would make them hewers of
wood and drawers of water for the combinations of
big manufacturers.
