Night Riders Contemplate Dew
iltry IN Louisiana.

The following is a copy of a letter
received by Judge W. l.. Richardson
through the postofiice at Aloha
Grant parish, on the LIST inst. 1t wns
mailed at Shreveport Sept. 2Sih, viz
dear Sir:-W When night riding
started in Kentucky tobacco war
selling ut D cents per pound. 1t is
now selling ut ID cents, and tobucro
growers are tirasters OF the situation.
The cotton growers must follow the
same tactirs that won for the tObac-
go growers, and you are requested to
immediately call together a few of
Your trnsty neighbnrs and have this
notice posted on all gins:
'Noiice--You are hereby notified
not to gIl any more cotton until the
price at cotton advances to l5.cetts,
under penalty OF fire.
DETERMINATION,
Chief Night Rider
This WAY is pointed ont to You
and will surely win. II won for TO-
baceo growers, aud will win for the.
cotton growers, provided they act
quickly. and it is being pushed all
over the South.
"Yours for n fair price for cotton,
and for law and order.
DETERMINATION,
Chief Night Rider"
This letter is an exact counterpart
OF letters sent to parties at Monroe
and Port Hudson and other points
in Louisiana, al uf which were sent
out from the Shreveport postofiice.
1t is not believed that the night
riders have any considerable, follow
ing in this State. The mailing Of
these letters from Shreveport WAS
probably done by some person from
, distance.
Judge Richardson is not disposed
to treat the letter sent to him with
my degree of seriousness, for the rea-
non that his crop was entirely de-
'troyed 10y the overflow, and as he
lid not raise lock of cotton this
'ear. he does not expect to raise
team in his gin at all.
II this region is to have the terrors
