"One ton Of seed gives the first
year the same results as 865 pounds
of meal.
Therefore, the substitution Of meal
to seed is only quicker return from
fertilization, but is not helping to the
building up Of land, there being always
the same lack of humus, which is fur
nished by the seed"
The oil industry is to-day well
established continued Mr.. Perrin,
and the product is becoming one Of
the necessities of the times. The oil
has nothing Of great value for the
soil, but the farmer should not be
made to pay for the taking of it from
his fertilizer. We have endeavored
to have the oil mills exchange fairly
meal and hulls for seed, at the option
Of the farmers. One mill in Avoy-
elles has made a start in that direc-
tion, giving 1000 pounds of meal OF
three tons of hulls, or a composition
in proportion, for each ton Of seed.
We wish all the oil mills would con
slider this system, which is equitable
for all parties concerned including

THE COURIER AND THE
JUDICIARY AMENDMENT.
Opelousas, La, Oct. 28.

j e@~-@N11
Editor the Clarion. It is with re-
luctance that I invoke the deadly
parallel against my old friend Of the
0pelousas Courier; but it would seem
to me that he has reached an age
where he should know better than to
try to ride both sides Of an important
question in the short space Of two
weeks.
Two weeks ago, when his issue Of
the 18th appeared, / was delighted
to see that my old friend realized, to-
gether with the united bar Of the
State, and others who are familiar
with the question, the crying need
for safer and better intermediary
court system in Louisiana. fancied
that the old Courier would, right UP
to the day Of the election, keep uI
the fight for the Circuit Court Amend
ment, as it had started in the sale
issue Of the 18th, when it contained
the following article:
I'VE would like to see the amend.
ment in regard to the courts Of ap.
peal, which will be submitted to thu
voters on Nov. 6th, receive the active
support Of our people. The bar Of
this city has unanimously endorsed
the amendment, which, if adopted
will afford substantial and much
needed Improvement to the judicia
system. At present the district judges
have to do the work Of circuit judges
and the result IS that one must be
neglected to some extent in ordel
that the other might be attended to
This court has jurisdiction Of appeals

means, and we believe the proposed
amendment should be adopted at tbs

Messrs. Lisso and Bentley, the
gentlemen composing the committee
selected by the citizens Of Alexandra
to make a tour of several cities with
a view Of finding a suitable plan for

turned, and have about decided on one
similar to the hotel at Little Rock,
Ark, which costs 100000.
Judge Leche, Of Ascension parish,
has charged the grand jury to inves-
tigate the charge that fraud and ir-
Irregularities had been committed in
that parish at the recent primary
election for Congress. These
charges have thrown cloud over the
good name of the people of Ascen-
sion, and it is your duty to investi-
gate them fully" said the Judge.
The striking mill operators, who
had the Lake Charles mills tied up
for eight weeks, returned to work
last Monday, the mills agreeing to
pay them weekley and work them 10
hours a day, the basis of their de-
mands. The operators, however,
were forced to meet the mills half
way, by signing nonunion contracts.
The strike involved an average Of
1900 men.
A considerable territory Of the
city OF New Orleans will be seriously
affected in postal service after Nov
ember 1st, when an order Of the
Federal postal authorities will 60 in
operation discontinuing the free de
livery of mail. The government gives
as a reason for this action that the
sidewalks and crossings are such as
to make it too much of a hardship
on mail-carriers to deliver the mail in
those districts. It is supposed that
New Orleans will ask for suspen-
sion of the order until the offending
territory is put in good condition.
The residents of Baton Rouge have
received notification that unless the
walks in that city are repaired the
same penalty will be visited on it's
residents by Your Uncle Samuel, who
believes in the comfort of his carriers.

force could no longer forbear the
temptation of eating them and all
who saw them nlarveled at their
beauty and their appearance Of sub
stantiality.
Mr.. Smith has four acres Of this
cane, and he assured US that he did
not pick these samples from the NUM-
ber-that they were true represen-
tatives of the crop. He will neither
sell nor grind them, but will save
them for seed, and plant them all
next year. He was offered two cents
a stalk for them for seed BY parties
who desire to plant cane, but he viii
not part from them; not that he
thinks they are extra fine for this
country, but sshe needs them in his
business He is thoroughly con
vinced that anybody can raise their
equal on any land in this parish.
Mr.. Smith knows something about
cane and their manufactured product,
having been employed in the large
sugar plantations in the Sugar Bowl,
where he could see for himself and
acquire knowledge from actual con-
tact with the great industry. This
is what makes him enthusiastic on
the subject of the adaptabiHty Of ST..
Landry for the culture Of sugar cane.
Mr.. Smith feels confident of the
ultimate erection Of large sugar re-
fneries here, and is preparing for
their advent, Next season he will
have management ofs.his unele's Judge
E. D. Estilette) plantation, adjoining
the corporate limits Of Opelousas,
and will erect syrup mill thereon
and plant as much cane as he posi-
bly, can. He will buy the seed for
this latter place, as he will use the.
cane saved this season for his Belle-
vue plantation.
Mr.. Smith, like all wide-aWake
farmers, is appreeiative Of the fact
that King Cotton is deposed as the
sole monarch Of this country; that he
will have to be auxiliarated by other
crops in order for the farmer to
make both ends meet, and he knows
Of no better crop to fall on than
the sugar cane. Why, | could buy
twenty bales of cotton with the money
realized from my four acres of sugar
cane this year, Notwithstanding that
we have had a bad year for the cul-
tivation Of cane, as you have doubt
less noticed from reports from the
sugar section. It pays one-ffth bet
ter than cotton, and boll-weevils can't
touch them." said Mr.. Smith.

| the article in the People and the
lCourier's comment,) bitterly opposes
the amendment providing for Court
of Appeal.
I will quote the Courier's comment
on the Baton Rouge paper, mention
ing for the sake Of information that
the old hero it refers to is Gen. Leon
Jastremski, who is the editor Of the
Baton Rouge People, and the measure
which il wants buried beneath an
avalanche Of votes is the Circuit
Court Amendment, the same that the
Courier two weeks ago wanted adopted
because 1T most concerned people Of
small means.
Says the Courier:
IF the voters Of st. Landry still
have the confidence in the wisdom
and the honesty of the old hero that
they SO forcibly expressed by their
votes in 1904, they will bury this
measure beneath an avalanche Of
votes and they will tell the legislature
of 1908 to evolve a less costly plan
by studying the systems Of Mississippi,
Alabama and Tennessee, even If it
should be necessary to reform and re-
cast the entire state judiciary. More
than half of this $4,000 increase to
an already too expensive system is
for salaries for the judges Of the new
courts Of appeal, and if the people
ratify Amendment No. s they will
never be. able to relieve themselves Of
this unnecessary expense this IN
defensible burden
Now, / favor the adoption Of the
amendment changing the present cir
cult Court system, because | believe
lin fact I know-that the present
system is abortive and q failure, and
the poor litigant must have safe
and reliable and cheaper court to
which he can appeal, and ! will vote
for it, as advised by the Courier Of
the 18th, and will refuse to change
my opinion because Gen. Jastremski
opposes it. Gen. Jastrenski, / may
be allowed to remark, has never, to
my knowledge, been in favor Of any
thing Except holding ofice), and his
stand on this question is in conson-
ance with his record agin' things,
which reminds me Of q little story |
heard related sometime ago, which
fits the old General to nicely. The
story goes that a ship-wrecked an
archist, who had been cast on a small
island somewhere, was accosted by a
native, who kindly offered him suceor.
At once the sea-tossed pilgrim asked
the native Have you government
here@ to which the native replied
that the country did have a govern
ment. Well, then, ] am agin' it,
promptly replied the anarchist.
I don't want to be understood as
referring to Gen. Jastremski as an an
archist to the extent that he would
throw bomb, or anything like that
but his record Of indiscriminately
opposing anything which anybody but
himself is first to advance is SO vel
known that / feel justified in applying
the story Of the mariner with anarch.
istic procilVities to him.
As to the Courier's loop the loop

and that they would go down to rea-
sonable prices in few days longer,
if you stayed away, would you come

SINGULAR STORY OF
BARON MUGGE

Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 1.-After
fifteen years honorable service in the
capacity of policeman in this city and
other cities in various parts of the
country, John Frederick Won Mugge, a
real German baron, and now acting as
special policeman in Chestnut Hill
Park, resigned his position, to return
to Germany to claim the large estates
in Saxony, conditionally bequeathed to
him by his mother, the Countess of
HolzendOf. Won Mugge, who is an
old man now, ad has bee In this
country thirty-nine years, has an in
teresting history. In his young days
he was a cadet at a German naval
academy in Hanover. One day he
quarrelled with superior officer and
fought a duel with him. The result
was that his stern father cast him
out. With only a few marks in his
pocket, the young man landed in New
York fell into the hands of sharpers
and found himself penniless unable
to speak the language of the country,
and completely stranded. He made
his way to Fortress Monroe, and six
months later to Cincinnati In the
meantime he had learned the English
language, and after awhile obtained
an appointment as marshal Governor
Mckinley appointed him to a state
marshalship. Since that time Won
Mugge has held various positions as
marshel, secret service detective and
special policeman in various cities,
His mother and other relatives in the
old country kept strict watch over his
doings in America, and his mother
was so delighted over his brave course
that she left will, stating that, after
fifteen years of honorable employ
ment in America her son should be-
come the heir of her extensive
estates in Saxony. The fifteen years
expire today and Won Mugge will not
delay his departure for Saxony any
longer than necessary, as he is anX-
ious TO assume the ownership of his
inheritance.
