New York, Nov. 23.-Pro
duce dealers announce that tur
keys for the Thanksgiving mar
ket supply will be very plentiful
this year, therefore charges will
be moderate. High prices las
season started many new pro-
ducers, but owing to the very
wet spring and inexperienced
handling, the crop is not near as
large as it should be, though at
the same time it is much larger
than for some years past.
Kentucky this season has a
very large supply. but most OF
this will be handled by the Ar
mours. In the West and South
west the crop is normal, with
the exception OF Texas, which is
said to have a falling off from
10 to 20 per cent. This will
not, however, much effect prices
in the Eastern markets, as the
shipping rates to points west OF
the Missouri river are prohi-
bitive.

LAST PAYMENT PAID.

The fact that Mr.. Conery on
behalf of the TroIly company
has MADE the foil deposit OF
$4,000 guaranteeing the com
pletion of the linz il fifteen
months has given a great deal
OF satisfaction to all the mer-
chants and business men of the
city. 1t is felt that there is
more of promise in the situation
now then there has ever been
before and it is confidently
felt that the line will now be
constructed as proposed.
Mr.. Conery when he was
here last stated that their only
trouble he anticipated was the
obtaining of material for the
construction of the line. Ac-
cording to his investigations he
had tonnd that it would be Jan
uary before he could expect to
get the material here 70 start
with and he stated that he did
not care to begin the work till
he could continue it without
stoppages.
But he said that he fully ex-
pected to "make dirt fly" about
the middle OF January and then
the line would be pushed ahead.
1t is stated that the line will
first be built to eanerette and
thence down toward Franklin,
Patterson and Morgan City.
Afterwards it is probable that
there will be line to St. Mar
tinville and later still, lines to
LoreauvilIe and Abbeville.
A great many of the mem
bers of the Board of Trade
believe that it would be better
for New Iberia if it were made
the center OF series of Trolley |
lines that would reach out in
ditferentdirecrions. This would !
mean the concentration of trade
here and 1t is very possible that
this idea may be carried out in
the future.
1t is also possible that the
trolley may be extended along
the banks of the canal to the
Gulf and if the canal is cut to
Lake Fausse Pointe as propos-
ed it is possible that branch
may be run that way also.
AS a matter of fact real estate
has alreaoy felt the influence of
the possible coming of the troll
ley. Not the prices have gone
up as yet but those who have
been holding are less inclined to
make sacrifices than before the
deposit was made. There has
'lso been more inquiry for lots
'long the proposed route OF the
rolly and it is possible that
before January much property
will have changed hands.

PLANTER SAYS SUGAR CROP is
A FAILURE.

Sugar cane and the sugar
crop is said to be in disma
condition. In the first place
the crop is very short and the
prices are low and the yield is
not anywhere up to the stand
ard according to the reports
from the rehnerles.
One gentleman who says he
has been a sugar planter for six
teen years, says this is the first
time that he has seen so many
unfavorable circumstances con-
spring against the industry.
To begin with, he said, the
tonnage of cane per acre is very
short, then there is no sugar in
the cane, and to make matters
worse from financial point of
view, there is no adequate price
being paid for the sugar that is
gotten out of the disappointing
crop.
He said that cane was only
yielding an average OF I25
pounds per ton of cane in first
and second sugars, when 10
pounds would be fair yield.
Concerning the acreage, stubble
cane is giving u tons per acre,
and plant cane IS, when the
yield per acre should be II tons
for stubble and IS tons for
plant cane.
And the price quoted is only
about 3 "a cents for sugar, 96
test. At those figures, an acre
of cane yielding II tons would
bring S2S, while the cost of
planting, cultivat'ng and cutting
would be about $40, to say
nothing of the cost OF CONVEX
sion into sugar and freight on
the product.
"And." went on the planter,
"our crop looked good, very
good Now, you may imagine
what is going to happen to
those fellows who said right |
along that they did not have
anything. They're in mighty
bad fix"

DAVIS LETTER CAUSES A STIR.

Richmond, Va, Nov. Ill
Not for many a day will the
ladies who attend last week S
meetings of the United Daugh-
tiers of the Contederacy at Gulf
port, Miss, forget what hap
pened at these important SEES
S1onS.
Reference is had to what is
now called the "post- norton
letter of Mrs. Jefferson Davis. "
As nothing about this much
discussed communication has
appeared in the public prints, it
may be we'll to explain its entire
history. Six years ago the
widow OF the Confederacy s
honored President wrote Judge
A. M. Kimbrough OF Missis-
Slppl, letter whose contents,
according to express stlpulations,
were not to be dlvuIged until
after the writer's death.
In this communication Mrs.
Davis sought to vindicate her
Z
self for the criticism OF not hav-
ing buried the remains OF Presi-
dent Davis in Mississippi, and
among other things she also at
tempted an explanation of the
motives which prompted her to
live IN the North.
Somehow or other the exist
ence OF the communication does
not appear to have been known
outside the family of Judge
Klmbrough prior to Mrs. Davis
death, but it burst upon the
Daughters of the Contederacy
like a bomb.
Nobody seems to have been
prepared for it and after the
strange epistle has been read
the "Daughters' appeared at a
loss what to do. 1t was in this
critical situation that a Rich
mond lady, Mrs. N. V. Ran
dolph, met the exlgencies of the
case by moving that the COM
munlcation be kept off the min
,utes OF the organization.
Without a word of debate the
was followed, and
thus, in five minutes time, the
day was saved and tremendous
tension was abated.
1t goes without saying that
the communication was decided
ly, painfully unpleasant. Espe-
tally 50 did it sound to Missis-
sippi ears. Indeed, the letter
shocked all those who heard it,
and it is not saying too much to
describe the Daughters as being
stunned for few seconds. As
soon as Mrs. Randolph had
saved the day by her "savoir
faire' an effort was made to
forget the incident, and appar-
emily this effort has been re-
warded with success, for the full
text of the communication has
not yet been published.
Although Mrs. Davis was
particularly severe in her COM
nents on the attitude of the
Mississippi people towards her
'elf and her husband, and al
hough she was sparing in her
pleasant references to other
Southern States, she praised ,
Virginia in her fervied rhetoric,
md was particularly tender in
Ter references to Richmond.
she had much to say, too, by !
way of explaining her continued .
silence in the North, but it >
he truth must be known, the :
explanation was not at all con- /.
incing to the Daughters. ;

BOY KILLS HIS FATHER FOR
MONEY OR REVENGE.

One OF the most atrociou,
crimes in the history of the
parish came to light Wednesda,
mornlng.lt was no less than the
murder in cold blood by his sor
OF fourteen, and for no greater
incentive that the hope of OBJ.
tanning two dollars which the
boy thought was in his father.
pocket. Either that, or in re-
Venge for being made to work
was the motive.
The victim was known as
Togar Jackson, negro who
has had history we'll known to
those OF his race, regarded in
recent years as good workman,
but who ten years or so ago
was wounded in an ARRAY and
VINO later stood trial for killing
man at a ball. He was &C
quilted at that time, pleading
self defense. Since then he had
steaded down and with his wife
and family lived near the up
town border of the city. Re
Gently he has been burning
charcoal for Mr.. Paul Darby.
His wife has been out of the
city cutting cane.
Tuesday night, according to
evidence before the Coroners
Jury he and his two sons, Bou-
lee and Duke, aged IA and II
returned to their home from the
kiln. They reached the cottage
at about six o'clock and the
father after eating supper came
into the city telling his two
boys that he was going to col
lect two dollars that some one
owed him.
The boy in his statement says
that he did not intend to kill his
father, but was taking the gun
into the room when it was dis
charged. A. one time he said
the gun struck against the sew
ing machine and was discharged
and another time he said that he
was trying to unload tine gun
when 1t went off.
1t was long time before the
boy would admit even this much
relative to the matter. He had
held TO the statement that he
was asleep up to four o'clock
and was awakened by the
groans OF his father. As mat
ter of fact the man never made
a sound after he was shot.
That the murder had long
been in the head of the older
boy was abundantly shown by
the evidence of witnesses. Clar-
ence Broussard boy of IS
testified that Boulee had pro-
posed to him a week ago Non
day that they kill "the old man"
for his money. According to
Clarence's story Boulee offered
to give him IS cents and keep
, s cents if "the old man" had
that much in his possession.
The Broussard boy refused to
enter into the scheme and quit
with the Jackson boy.
He told his father at the time.
The younger Jackson boy
esti6ed that some time ago his
brother had told him not to tell
his father was killed. He
lao testified that his brother
lad threatened to kill his father ,
because he was forced to work
t the kiln. :
The Coroner's jury came to !
he conclusion that Jackson was
Tiled by his own fourteen year :
Id son, and this afternoon the
oy was locked up in the parish
Ill. That the crime was un
aveled SO quickly was due to
ne work of all the officers in
onnection with the matter.
hey very quickly sifted the
ues and had settled upon the
olution long before the boy
,uld be induced to confess to
he Coroner. The Younger boy
also looked up as a witness.
