A PROTEST.

Railroads are about to destroy
Baton Rouge. 1t was bad enough
to have the Y. and N. V. spread
the town out as far as Dufrocq
street, aud thus spoil the craYfish-
ing in the ponds this side of that
thoroughfare, and rabbit hunting
just beyond; but soon the new
roads will cause the entire section
between Dufrocq street and >,the
Bernard place to be covered with
buildings, and then what Is to be-
came of US? Why, one will be
forced to 20 as far out as Nc
Quade's before he can get shot
At q robin. Oh! for the good OLD
days of steamboatlng, when We sat
from morning until night with our
legs dangling over the wharf edge
discussing politlcal matters, swap
ping jokes and squirting tobacco
juice over the flooring. Then no
rumbllng Of cars nor whistling of
factories disturbed the peace and
quiet Of the old town; and when
the boys around the corner took a
pop at each other we heard it and
rushed to the scene. Now We sci.
dom hear of a fracas, except
through the daily papers, and they
have outgrown the practice of fur
nlsnlng local news, and devote their
columns to instructing the city
council how to get up railroad or
dinances. "Our progressive and
public spirited fellow citizen, MIR.
Jones, is having his front fence
neatly whitewasbed,' IL read no
more, nor are wild pranks OF stu.
dents mentioned by up-,o-date pa
pers. Where sugar cane fields and
pecan groves were once raided BY
the rising generation railroad tracks
cover the earth, and where We
fought game cocks stand palatlal
residences.
Oh, Lordy! What 10 to become
of NJ? What if we did wear the
seats Of our jeans out sitting around
on store galleries? When they
needed replenlshing could we not
| go out to the pen and hire a. guards
for month?
The 'penltentlary, too, 10 to 60,
and all on account of the blasted
railroads, and I'm blessed If some
Of US don't have to 90 to work.
Work! Just think of it, you old
timers, 'swho dreamed the happy
hours away before the toot Of
the locomotive was heard in the
land. Just think! No more keno;
no more ten pins; no more chicken
fighting, and no quiet place in
which to loaf or TO take MONDAY
nap without being disturbed BY the
whistle OF the locomotive. This,
too, when the railroads could have
been kept out of the city BY the
city council. Too bad! In the name
Of 9 large and influential body Of
voters, we protest against the
granting Of franchises to railroads,
street car companies or other dis.
turblng factors of the Sabbath like
quiet that once relgned in this old
town OF ours. Baton Rouge

IN VARIOUS SOILS.
Joint Federal and State Experi-
nents in G,osing OF
Variety Of Rice.

The Bureau of Plant Industries
Of the United States Department OF
Agriculture and the Louisiana Ex.
pertinent Stations will jointly con
duct experiments next season in the
growing Of various kinds Of rice on
Louisiana soil.
II. A. Carlton. OF Washington,
D. c., representing the Bureau Of
Plant Industries and in charge of
the grain branch Of that bur eau, 81.
E. Ney, Of the same bureau, and
Dr.. W. r. Dodson, director Of the
experiment stations OF Louisiana,
held q conference on this subject
this morning. While no positive
announcement can be made that the
joint experiments in rice growing
will be conducted in Louisiana, it
is practically certain that this an.
nouncement will be made in few
days.
Last year the experiments we're
conducted by the Bureau Of Plan,
Industries on the rice lands oi
fexas, but good results were not
obtained. owing to the poor rice
lands upon which the wo,k was un.
dertaken Mr.. Carlton thinks that
be can secure better land for this
| work in Louisiana, and held the
conference with Mr. Dodson for the
purpose Of making arrangements
for these experiments.
This rice experiment work was
under the direct charge. last year,
of H. +. Ney, q former student Of
the Louisiana State University. He
collected, from different parts of the
world. about 800 varieties Ut rice,
the object being todeterlnine which
varieties could be grown with hes,
results IN the rice lands Of the
South. These experiments, mex,
season, will be made in Louisiana,
and will be Of value TO the rice
lgrowing section.

To Cotton Growers,

The following very interesting
letter from N. ". King, Supt. n
7. Cotton Exchange, was received
by Richard Chealham, Secretary Uf
the Southern Cotton Exchaoge,
which We publish by request:
Mr.. Richard Cheatham, Secretary,
{ Southern Cotton Association. At
lAnta, Ga:
Desr Sir-Your favor OF the 10th
instant is received. Thanks for
President .Jordan's cotton statistics,
ETC., which give the facts clearl,
and intelligently.
In my opinion the coming plant
ing season will prove to be the mos,
trying ii not the most critical in the
experience OF the cotton growers OF
the South. Trying because there are
many who believe 10 or lO4 cents
will prove 20 serious ! temptation
to the planter that be will put every
available acre' ID cotton This
opinion 10 not confined to this sec
tion Of the country alone, but is
indorsed by many Of the good peo-
pie Of the south, not planters / am
glad to say.
Il will indeed prove . critical sea
son for the planter and for the en-
tire South should the temptation 70
over plant in cotton be carried ont.
The years Of eplendid work Of your
Association together with that of
others who have CO. operated, will
be swept away, ana . condition Ut
sery,tude for the planter will be 70.
enacted with ito consequent sc or
10 for cotton.
This 10 not N extreme picture.
It Is certain to occur unless the
planters stand soliuly together aud
for their own projection diversity
the plating, putting in q moderate
acreage only in cotton. II the
planters viii not protect themselves
in = matter Of such vital interest.
to whom can thsy look for help? !?
Certainly not to the buyer and con
sumner.
To sum up the matter, the situa-
tion Tor veal or for zoe. for &c or
for l2c 10 entirely in the hands 81
the planter. In Z brief interval OF
time the world will know whether
be has proven false to himself or
has had the courage and manliness
to resist the tenn pIatiou which now
threatens to Wrest from him the
control Of the situation.
Yours truly, " n. v. KING.

Though Probabilities Point To Nation

Loss Will Settle The Series and

CHICAGO, Oct. l3.-Out of bed
lam of errors, long hits. vanquished
pitchers and the vociferations Of the
half-frenzied spectators, the Americans
emerged victors oyer the Nationals to-
day, to 6. The Americans won in
spite Of five ghastly errors which were
accountable for nearly all of the runs
made by the Nationals. The Nationals
lost because they could not hit Walsh's
spit ball. The Americans felded like
amateurs and the Nationals. while field
ing perfectly, batted very much in the
negative. Time after time, when hits
meant runs, the batters with impressive
averages failed to live up to their rep
utations. The day was warm, the best
baseball weather of the series. Twenty
five thousand spectators worked them
selves into the grounds before the sell
ing of tickets ended.
The Americans have now won three

PORTLAND, Oct. ia lengthy
conference was held in Mayor Lanes
Office today between the warning in
terests Of the waterfront. While the
meeting was ostensibly an endeavor to
arrive at an agreement to end the
pending strike between the waterfront
federation and the grain exporters, the
discussion was confined to q demand by
representatives Of the federation that
Mayor Lane withdraw the police guard
ing the docks affected by the strike
This was combatted by representatives
Of the exporters, who insisted that the
presence Of officers was necessary. The
mayor said that he would take the mat
ter under advisement.
Charles Seeley and his son Walter
came to the police station badly beaten
up, as they alege by strikers. Seeley,
Sr, stated that when he and his son
left work this evening in company with
seven other non-union grain handlers,
they were set upon by large crowd OF
union men. All but Seeley and his son
escaped after being roughly handled,
by taking to their heels.

mittee having the preliminary arrange
ments in hand, prepared set Of reso'
lutions. which were presented to the

then read.
Chairman Doble Immediately m.
nounced that they were adopted and
