UONcIuOi OiouCuotO uoo kaSOo
out the following copy of a letter
sent to the New York World last
week
"Replying to your request for
an answer to the question pro-
pounded by you What has your
State done during the past twen-
ty-five years to make America the
greatest of nationsY l would say
that Louisiana has, through the
pluck, energy aud enterprise of
her people. resuscitated herself in
that period of time from the wreck
and ruin of war and reconstruction
and placed herself abreast in in
dustrial and commercial develop
ment, in wealth and prosperity,
with the average commonwealth 1T
the American Union.
Louisiana produces one million.
bales of cotton annually. and, be-
sides this she produces IS per cent
IF all the cane sugars raised in the
United States, aud more rice than
any other State of the Union. One
county in Louisiana raises more
rice than all of South Carolina.
THE area of the State is Is. OOO,-
600 acres, aud as yet. only about
100000 acres are in cultivation.
So WE are doing all the above on
less than une-fOurth of the States
area.
Louisiana has the greatest area
of long-leaf pine of any State in
the Union and has more cypress
timber than any other State.
"She is now the second lumber
producing State in the Uuioa,
ranking next to the State of Was.
hington.
Louisiana is the coming seat of
the oyster industry in the United
States. Her total bottoms, the
home of the oyster, embraces
1900 900 acres "a greater area of
oyster waters than have Maryland
aud Virginia combined.
Louisiana has within her bor-
ders the greatest sulpher niue the
world has ever Seen. 1t Is taken
out of the earth SO per cent pure.
"She has fuel oil and natural
gas fields unsurpassed in the Uni
ted States. Some Of her oil wells
have a record of 100000 barrels
each.
Louisiana has the greatest de-
post of pure rock salt in the wes-
tern hemisphere. 1t comes up SO
per cent pure.
much more might be said of
the resources of the State, but l
don't wish to tax your credulity.
We were the second State in rail
way construction in 1907. We
have more navigable rivers than
any other State, aud a greater
length of navigable waterways
than any. 1t is by exploiting and
developing her resources in way
that is rapidly pushing her to the
front. that Louisiana is doing more
than her share in making Ameri-
ca the greatest of nations"

SOME EASILY SATISFIED.

About sixty-fve farmers attended
the meeting of the Colman Elevator
Co. Saturday afternoon. The secre.
tary's report showed that the com
pany had bought 1896 bushels OF
all kinds of grain at a cost of SI03,-
511. so on which the loss was $2,125.-
80, expense of running the elevator,
doing the business, interest, etc, 49,
Hats making a total loss Of S5,2401S.
There still remains in the surplus
fund the sum of S2,S5S.02, net worth
of property, $7,70S.02. While the
loss the past season seems large at
first thought, the outcome was very
satisfactory to a large number of the
stockholders. The Colman market
was the best in this part of the state. -

EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon by Rev. III. Preston.
The Lords prayer is so simple in
its language that little children repeat
in their first childish lispings, and
yet so comprehensive as to cover the
whole range of experience in human
life.
In our mature years, when we more
fully realize the perfection of its form
and the significance of its parts, we
come to understand that, so far from
being an easy prayer, it is one of the
most difficult to offer in absolute sin
cerity.
This prayer was given to us by him
who knew what God would most APP
prove, and what man most needed.
In it Christ teaches not only what we
should pray for, but what we should
pray for first.
Before personal needs are mention
toned, before bread is asked for, or
sins are confessed to be forgiven, is
this petition, Thy kingdom come"
Greece was noted for her art and
literature, Rome for herconquests and
laws, but the distinguishing charac-
teristics of the kingdom of Christ are
righteousness and peace and JOY in
the Holy Ghost"
This Kingdom then, no matter
what form it assumes, will be a king
dom Of liberty aud light, of purity
and peace. 1t is the expression of
Gods own character. the realization
of his love in all human relationships.
Thy kingdom, not my kingdom.
Like the ancient Jews in regard to the
coming Messiah, we may have pre-
conceptions of the nature and extent
of the kingdom which have no relation
whatever to the real.
We will leave the details of the
kingdom to Him whose it is. What.
ever form it assumes, whatever rela-
ton it has to the earth as we now
know it, "Thy kingdom come.
