LOVE FOR GOVERNOR.
Said to Be Slated to Head State
 Ticket In 1910.

Dallas, Aug. 7.-Something of a stir was mreated here, says a special from Aastin to the News, by the pub lication of Houston dispatch to the effect that the governor had selected man to succeed him, and would fa- vor the election of T. B. Love of Dal- las as governor of Texas in 1910. Mir. Love was speaker of the house, and as such assisted in taking care of ad- ministration measures, and later was selected as commissioner of insurance and superintendent of banking.
 But the fact that gives it more cre- dence than any other thing is recall. ed, and 1t is that MT. Love was known, at one time, to be seriously consider ing becoming a candidate for attorney general, and that he would have had the unanimous support of the Bailey contingent for the nomination and that the Bailey adherents would have well comed him as a strong candidate to oppose MT. Davidson. Mir. Love was apparently willing until soon after his acceptance of the place last mentioned and taking his residence in the off cial family in this city. All of a sud- den he dropped out of the possibilities for attorney general and really took no active part for Senator Bailey. In fact. he openly declared for an anti Bailey candidate for the legislature in Dallas county.
 All of these coincidences combined are now said to unquestionably point to the fact that MT. Love will be a candidate for the gubernatorial nom- ination in 1910.

Rice More Profitable Than Cotton.

Unless all indications fail the
demand for Louisiana rice this
year will be greater than any time
heretofore. according to figures
compiled by rice brokers. An ad-
vance in price for the 1908 crop
can also be anticipated at this
time for at I'D time in the history
of the United States was there
such a great demand aud such a
scant supply.
All this comes rs result of the
recent advance in the price of malt
which makes it cheaper for the
various beer brewing companies in
the United States to use more rice
and less malt. A conservative
estimate made by rice brokers OIL
the amount of rice used IN beer
making during the year ending
Dec. 81, 1907, is $4,000, 900 lbs.
This means that at cost of two
cents per pound the breweries ex-
pended $l7, 400, 900 for rice alone.
Malt has almost tripled in price
and to guard against increased
cost in the product the breweries
in almost every case have decided
on a nine per centincrease of rice.
This means, with the same
number of breweries in operation
in 1908 an increase of 1890, 900
pounds or in money value 81 $780,
600. The rice farmer should for
this reason use every effort to
make this years crop a record
breaker.

After being forty<six days In anime
In Nevada. three miners wero rescued
and brought to the surface The shaft
mouth was surrounded by mob OF
people, awaiting the elimination OF the
labor of the workers. who had strng-
gled for month and half to get the
imprisoned men back to sunlight.
The accident and the rescue read like
fiction. The three miners, in company
with two Greeks. were at the bottom
of mine-shaft over 1000 feet below the
surface. A cavern occurred. In try
ing to reach higher level, the Greeks
were killed, but the other workmen
managed to ascend rickety ladders to
point OF safety. while rocks and brok-
en- timbcrs rained past them, hurting
into the bottom of the pit. From this
point of vantage, the men commnni-
Gated with the world above by rapping
on an iron pipe.
The signals We're heard by the res
euers, 1000 feet above, and through the
pipes, food and water were supplied to
the entombed men. Throughout the
long hours and days during which men
worked madly TO save their lives. the
unfortunate men received sustenance
through this iron ripe. A portable tel
ephone WIS sent down, and in this
manner they were kept in touch with
the world. Though separated by an
enormous amount OF earth from friends
and rehtives, they were enabled to
talk with them, and were cheered by
loving words and messages Of sympa-
thy and hope.
The year that has just passed was
marked by a succession OF mine hor-
rors. Hundreds of workmen were hurled
into eternity in the various diggings
of the country, and the death list
swelled until humanity stood appalled,
Heroism, seli-abnegation and love were
all displayed,in the course Of these dis
asters, but In none Of them was there
more unique or unusual experience
than that of the three miners who have
been restored to the arms Of their loved
ones, after being literally buried aliy,
for the period of forty-six days.-Nev

At oil the several election pre-.

January 28th, one for the State

ish and ward ticket. Voters must

voters to prepare and mark each
ticket properly, and designate in
the proper squares who they de-
sire to vote for. The boxes, tick
cts and tally sheets must be sent
to the different precincts by the
Parish Dem ocratic Executive Com
mittee. Booths must be prepared
at each polling place 30 that vot-
ers can prepare their tickets with

In the primary of four years
ago, when Gov. Blanchard and
Gen. Jastremski were rival cam
didates for Governor, Tensas gave
Blanchard 153 votes and Jastrem-
ski 88. While it is exceedingly
doubtful if Wilkinson will poll as
large a vote in Tensas next Tues
day as did Jastremski, it is I'M
questionably certain that Sanders
will show greater strength here
than did Blanchard in the race
four wears ago. And as Sanders
strength has increased in this
parish with the approach of the
primary, so it has grown elsewhere
in the State, and his popularity
in Tensas may be accepted as in
.dicative of his favor throughout

The Baton Rougseorrespondent
to the Picayune gives the follow
ing: "P1anters who have been in
the city from Tensas and Concor-
dia parishes report that the boil
weevil problem is going to be u
much more serious problem for the
cotton farmer in that section than
in any other part of Louisiana,
and the ''cultural remedy" that
has worked with partial success
everywhere else, will not afford
relief in certain sections. The
planters say that the land in that
of the State is q damp, cold land
that it takes a couple of months
of COON warm sun to thaw out
we'll before cotton will grow to q
profitable extent, and for this
reason it is necessary that the cot
ton be planted late. The cultural
remedy depends upon the early
plant, of an ecrly variety of cot
ton, but planters report that in
parts of the parishes the remedy
is impracticable for the reason
that the condition of the soil pre-
vents the successful early plant
ing and that some other remedy
must be found if the great planta-
tions are not to be seriously Grip
pied and the cotton crops cut SER
iously short"

Sanders the Choice Of the labsrilg Nan.

further
Resolved, That we specially indorse
the candidacy of the Hon. Jared I.
Sanders for the reason that he has al
ways championed the rights of the Ia
boring classes in the city OF New Or

ample to the fact that he was instru-
mental In causing to be passed all the
labor laws which are now upOn the
statute books, and which contributed
to the comfort and betterment OF the
laboring men. Be 1t further
