Public Health.

The dangers to public health from
food adulteration and from many 9TH
or sources, such as the menace to the
physical. mental and moral develop
ment Of children from child labor,
should be met and overcome. This ma.
hon cannot afford to lag behind in the
worldwide battle now being waged
by oil civilized people with the micro
scoplc foes Of mankind. The first leg.
lslative step to be taken Is that for the
concentration OF the proper bureaus
into one Of the existing departments.

Notice, Subscribers!
r. Z. GREEN

/ On January /. 1908, the Post Of
fee Department put into effect Or
der COZ, containing an important
amendment to the Postal Laws and
| Regulations affecting the mailing OF
second-class mail matter.
The new regulations provide that
4 publisher may send sample copies
to the extent of 10 per cent OF his
paid circulation. This Is q radical
Echange, but more important and
working q revolution In the business
methods of Daily and Weekly news
papers. 1t is AZ follows:
s3. A reasonable time will be al
lowed publishers to secure renewals
of subscriptions, but unless subscrip-
lions are expressly renewed after
the term for which they are paid,
within the following periods:
Dailies within three months.
Weeklies, within one year,
tthey shall not be counted in the le-
gltimate list Of subscribers. and
comics mailed on account thereof
eshall not be accepted for mailing at
! the transient second-class postage
/ rate Of one cent q pound but may be
mailed at the transient second-class
postage rate Of one cent for each four
ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid BY
stamps affixed. The right of pub
fisher to extend credit for subscrip-
tions to his publication is not de-
MED or questioned, but his compli-
ance or noncompliance with this
regulation will be taken into consid-
Grafton In determining whether the
publication is entitled to transmits
sion at the second-class postage

In compliance with this order the

find there is much misconception ex-
isting as to the scope Of the so-cahed
Labor Law" and wish officially to'ex-
plain what acts constitute q violation OF
This statute. l wish particularly to call
the attention of the Justices of the Peace
throughout the parish to this article and
70 request that they bear 1t m mind
The LegisIatufe'of last year passed q
new law on this subject which is Of
course now the only law ON the subject
This law includes in its provisions not
only laberers by the day and those who
work for shareof the crop (as the old
law did,, but goes further and includes
tenants or those who lease land
So if a contract ID made with q person
10 work for another by the day, week or
month, or for q share in the crop, or II
one leases land from another, the person
violating such contract by leaving his
employment, or the land rented in debt
10 his employer or landlord, is guilty Of
violating this law.
Bear In mind that there is no crime
committed unless the employee or lessee
owes the employer or lessor when he
sbandons his contracts and fails to ten
der payment before he goes.
A minor cannot be guiltyof violathg
this law, nor can married woman.
Bear in mind also that the law is not
violated if an employee or lessee remains
on the plantation until the expiration Of
the contract, that is- TO say, the ends Of
the calendar year in the case Of share
hands and. lessees, and the end Of the
period for which they were employed, in
the ease of day lsborerss-
would be glad TO have you. give this
letter a place in your columns and feel
sire that the parish win be saved much
useless expense in the matter Of fruitless
prosecutions if employers of labor will
read it,
Respectfully,

WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
from Mondays Picayune.

From Mondays Picayune.
The past week has bought rain
to practically all parts OF the
Cotton Belt. In some localities
the rains have been decidedly
heavy, and in north Texas and
part of Arkansas they have been
excessive. The temperature has
been seasonable, and where the
rain was not excessive, conditions
have been favorable to field work,
and the various crops have made
excellent progress.
On Friday stormy conditions
prevailed over a considerable Sec
ton of the South, and in num-
Der of localities destructive tor
nadoes developed, which did a
great deal of purely local damage,
tbut which had hardly appreciable
effect OH the cotton or other crops
us a whole. Enough rain has fall
len all over the belt to meet pres
ent requirements, and farmers are
lnow anxious for q brief period OF
fair weather to permit thorough
working of the fields to keep down
the grass and cultivate the crops.
| So far the cotton crop has met
with no important setback and II
making excellent progress. Where
planting has not been finished il
lis nearly so, and iii the more
southerly portions of the belt tn
crop is not only up and growing
but has already progressed to
vigorous and promising stand
This is particularly true of tn
portion of Texas where early cot
i ton can be looked for in abund
i ance.
Despite some efforts that hav
been made to restrict acreage,
is generally believed that abou
the same acreage will be plante
I as last season. Some small dc
creases in q few States have bee
fully offset by gains in othe
States. There is apparently littl
| probability of a voluntary curtai
ment of acreage. Last season muc
of the acreage planted was late
abandoned owing to the long-cor
tinued rains, but there seems II
probability of a repetition of tt
same conditions this season.
II The corn crop is making pract
cally as good progress as the CO
ton crop. The corn acreage plan
ed has undoubtedly been liberia
as the failure of last year and Il
high price of grain made a goo
corn crop unusually desirable. A
excess of rain is now the ma
fear of the farmers, but from pre-
emit indications q good corn crc
is promised.

BRYAN on NEGRO pIsFRAScalsEMENT,

At the close of a recent speech |
In New York, Mr.. Bryan was ques-
toned as to his views on the dis
reimbursement of negroes IN the
South aud he said that they had
abe opportunity to get within the
law by coming within the edrca-
tional qualification. In this con-
nection he took occasion to call
the attention of Republicans In
the North to the fact that under
the laws they have fastened on
the Filipinos not one of the latter
can vote under any qualification
On the other hand the negro ID
the South has the advantage of
living under the laws made for the
black man and the white man
alike, but the Filipinos are kept
under laws made for them and
not for us.
But the most interesting part
of Mr.. Bryan's feply to the ques-
ton -propoundcd to him was his
assertion that the white man In
the South had DISTINGUISHED the
negro in self protection, and there
Is not a Republican in the North
who would not have done the
same thing under the same cir
cumstances. "Those Republicans
lin the North,' he said, "who dis
pute this or say they are different
from the South either are not
frank with themselves or are as
. Stunning what is not true. The
white men in the South will not
allow o few men to use the solid
, black vote to further their own
{ financial and political interests.
And that was what had been done.
3 Mr.. Bryan was well within the
mark when he told his audience
that the white men in the South
T were giving the negroes better
laws than the negroes would give
: to the white men we're they max.
: ling the laws. Moreover he made
: q rather telling point by citing

s ment of negroes did not originate
