CALL FROM BELOW.

Come together to get labor
to down the Sugar Trust to
devise and put in execution di-
versifeG farming and stocking
raising.
Do as the old planters did,
to-wit: form a real Planters
! Club to interchange views as to
the best methods OF farming,
stock-raising, orchard and vege-
table growing, and every matter
relating to agriculture, fruit md
Vegetable production.
The first essential requisite IS
a better and surer supply of la
Dor. Get good class of white
faimers-this IS the wise thing
and the proper thing to do.
Bring in men that will not only
cultivate your lands, but will
form the bottom rock OF your
social worth and progress.
You can only do this by CO.
operation. Don't rely on
paper resolutions. Progressive
Leagues, etc, don't count.
You need more work and less
talk.
Our fields are crying aloud
for intelligent farming. Give
the white farmer a square deal.
Your wilderness of weeds and
rotting shacks will be put on the
hue of the rose Of prosperity.
Try it on!
Call meeting at Franklin
and assemble all the planters
that don't want the earth, and
do want to see our parish
radiant with prosperity, happi-
ness and progress.
Come together to counsel
about the measures necessary to
insure a better observance of
law; to see that the public !
veal is not sacrificed for the
greed and folly of our home
rulers.
See to 1t that the public Of
fclals do their duty. See to it
that public office is not made
the subject of private barter.
See to it that the public high
ways are not made the scene of
lawless disturbance. Quit talk
ing about the niger and go to
work to improve the conditions
and surroundings of both niger
and white man.-St Mary Rec
ord.

Morgan City, Dec. I8.-The
stockholders or the Atchafalays
Bay Ship Channel Company
held meeting here and heard
the report of w. B. Reed, the
engineer who made the recent
survey of the route. 1t is est
mated that channel two hun
dred feet wide, fourteen feet
deep, would cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, and if one
hundred feet wide and of the
same depth were decided on,
it could be constructed for
$4,000. A prospectus will
be at once cotton out, showing
the importance of the project,
and the stock of the company
place upon the market.
The committee who attend
the National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress also reported that
everything was favorably to a
large appropriation at this ses-
sion OF Congress.

w aShlhSloh, Zee. lo.-oSi-
ator Foster, Representatives
Broussard and RansdeII, and
Mr.. McIIhenny today went be
fore the Board of River and
Harbor Engineers to argue for
the improvement of the Teche,
above ArnaudviIIe. The pro-
ject, which has been under in
vestigation by the engineers,
called for an expenditure of
$1,000, and il carried out,
would be Of great benefit to com
merce in Louisiana. The en-
gineers, however, reported I'M
favorably on the ground that
there was no commerce worth
mentioning, that would be ben
Gifted by the improvement,
above St. MartinviIIe.
Senator Foster and Repre-
sentative Broussard were we'll
equipped with figures and force
full arguments, and Mr.. Nell
benny, who is thoroughly ia
miliar with the situation in the
district, as is Mr.. RanSdelI, who
is a member of the Rivers and
Harbors' Committee, took part
in the discussion.
Mr.. BrouSsard stated that
the commerce above ST, Martin
vile was very considerable and
justifes the expenditure OF this
amount of money. He showed
that three parishes, St. Mary,
St. Martin and Iberia, employ
ed Captain E. i. King to COM
pile statistics of commerce in.
this section, and that he found
the commerce of 1896 was est
in value at S4O,OOO,oOo
of which $26,ooo,ooo was indi-
rectly affected by the condition
of the river.
Commissioner McIlhennv
took up the argument from the
viewpoint of shipper. He
said he had great deal of
trouble with goods that he
had shipped from New York to
New Iberia, and from New
iberia to the outside world. 1t
,ost him as much, he declared,
o ship from New Orleans to
New Iberia as it did from New
I ork to New Orleans. The
Improvement of this waterway,
lie said, would mean a great
leal to the business interests of
he localities interested.
The Board of Engineers
eemed surprised at this show
ng, but declared that without
urther authority or instructions
rom the House Committee on
Rivers and Harbors it could do
othlng IN the premises.
But under instructions they
'ould be pleased to reconsider
ne matter and go deeper into
J. Chairman Burton was con-

DIR. STEPHENS GIVES RMASo N
FOR ACTION.

Lafayette, La, Dec. 10
President Z. l.. Stevens of the
Southwestern Louisiana Indus
trial Institute has issued out the
following findings concerning
the case of Cadet Jules Felix, a
Jewish student, whose dismissal
for disobedience is now sus-
pended
81. That | had inflicted the
penalty of dismissal because it was
the usual penalty under the regula,
tons of the school, and was regard
ed by my colleagues and myself as
being necessary for the maintenance
Of proper discipline-the very dis
cipline on account of which the
boys father had seen fit to with
draw him from the excellent schools
of his home city and place him here
instead.
so. That l was really disposed
to mitigate that penalty, in consi-
deration of the extenuating circum-
stances.
"3. That before | could act
upon this impulse by taking the
matter under reconsideration and
advisement, / was threatened with
the coercion of an appeal over my
head, which seemed to impute to
me improper motives along the line
of racial or sectarian prejudice.
81. That this threat was in it.
self tantamount TO an appeal to my
superiors in office, the Board of
Trustees, and, therefore, in effect,
took the matter out of my hands
till such time as their verdict should
have been rendered
as. That the full investigation
before the Board of Trustees then
resulted, as above stated, in my
being fully exonerated and sustain
ed.
&c. That the whole matter was
returned into my hands.
"Since that time, aud before any |
voluntary action could be taken by |
myself, an appeal was made to the
Governor for a rehearing before
the Board oflTrustees, but that APP
peal was denied.
Therefore, / am now restored
to the former status that existed
before the threat Of coercion was
made against me by the spokesman
of the local committee of Jewish
citizens. | may now renew the
impulses of sympathy which would
have previously enabled me to re-
lax the severity of the penalty un-
der which the dismissed cadet has
remained till this time. | pro-
regret the attachment of
any notion OF disgrace to the pen
atty inflicted--a notion which is
not implied under the institutes
system Of discipline. | am moral
Iy convinced that, in any event,
the young man has been sufficient
y punished.
"And now, in consideration of
MI the circumstances above rccit-
sd-haviug performed my duty as
saw it in maintaining the disei-
oline of the Institute, having been
sustained in that action by the
Board of Trustees and again by the
Governor, and having been further
from any charge or impu-
alton of prejudice, discrimination,
N other improper motives-I here
~ voluntarily suspend and remove
he sentence of dismissal against
,adet Jules Felix, and restore him
0 his place in good standing in the
orps Of cadets of the Industrial
institute. Idesire and expect that
e will return, and assure him of
indy treatment" !
