ANOTHER
GOOD PLAY
is COMING

"A Knight for a Day" the merry
musical comedy that has had such
a vogue at the Whitney Opera house.
Chicago. and Wallack's theater, New
York, and the fremont theater, Bos-
ton, comes TO the Grand opera house
on next Thursdy night with a splen-
did east and stage equipment The
first scene OF the play Is laid In
Evanston, H., and the second scene
on the island OF Corsica. "A
knight for a Day" is a musical com
edy of the customary kind as re-
CARDS both manner and matter, but
IL is an uncommonly good enter
tainment. and the admirer of tuneful
maslo, abundant fun-making and of
dashing, strenuous stage movement
will have nothing to regret IL he pa
tronizes the performance.

II is time for the sportsmen OF this
state to get together and demand
better protection.
Enforcement In Marion.
Speaking locally OF Marion county,
the enforcement OF the game law has
been very poor this year, as the
sportsmen of Marion county will pay
probably over $4,000 for licenses to
hunt they have right to demand
that this money shall be properly ex-
pended In the protection of game
The cost OF protecting the game Is
not borne by the general taxpayer.
but by the sportsmen themselves and
they are certainly entitled to voice
In the management OF this fund.
Changes Desired.
Among the local sportsmen the
changes In the game laws that are
desired are;
First--open the season on npland
birds and ducks at the same time.
The present law opens the season
one month earlier than the season on
China pheasant, which makes II easy
for a person TO violate the Jaw.

At meeting OF the Oregon Game
& Fish association, held in Portland.
October Z. many matters of interest
20 local sportsmen, were touched up
on. As far as could be gathered

about 100 members, consictIng prin-

aims TO represent the sportsmen Of

ant will raise two or more fiocks ev-
cry year so II can readily be seen
that by refraining from killing the
hen, we would soon have an album

in British Columbia with gratifying
results.
Another plan is suggested OF cut

to consist OF quail, native pheasant

proposed are useless to help the

invited to address the association, but
declined.

DiStillery Establish.
ed near Dry Prong.

A turpentine distillrry has been es-
tablished near the center of Grant
parish, ON the east side of the l.. 4 A.
rail- Dad, in about two miles of Dry
Prong, at Big Greek crossing. The
plant is owned and managed by Carr
4 Cooper. and they have about 35
negro families in their employ, OF
whom about fifty are men experts in
the turpentine business, whom they
brought from South Carolina and
other States, where they have worked
ut the business. The negroes began
to arrive two or three weeks ago,
and there is now a considerable crew
Mt work.
Before locating their plant ut Dry
Prong We are told that Carr 4 Coop
er consulted the white citizens of that
country about the use of negro la bor-
ers, and the whites agreed that there
would he no objection to their en-
ployment, so there is no likelihood O:
any trouble between the races.
From Mr.. s. II. Parish, who was in
Colfnx last Monday, we learn that
white men ms II rule do not care to
work at the turpentine business,
which --seeiiis to have been turned
over to the negro laborers in all Cd
the Southern States. Mr.. Parish, in
connection with one or two other
white men Of that locality, superin-
tended the bniIding of 80 framed
chimneys, more commonly known in
this section as "mud chimneys." for

State Candidates in Second
Primary.

The vote in the first primary cleo
ton failed to determine the nominal
ton OF four important State officers,
namely, the Lieutenant Governor.
the Auditor, Attorney General, and
Register of State Land Office, and a
second election is ordered for these
officers.
For Lieut.. Governor we are to
choose between j. j. Bailey, OF st.
Landry parish, and p. NJ. Lambre-
mont, of st. James parish. The fact
that the bosses of New Orleans have
lined up for Lambrrmont is one ot
the greatest reasons why the country
voters should give Bailey their sup
mort. This action of the city bosses
was so contrary to the spirit OF the
primary law, that even Governor
-lect Sanders, who profitcd SO much
10y the support of the bosses, has de-
| rlined to endorse their action. BE-
sides all this, Mr.. Bailey il decidedly
the man for the place, and with such
men in office the peoples interests
are safe.
The contest for Auditor il to he be-
tween Paul Capdrvielle, OF Orleans,
and W. s. Frnzpe, formerly OF st.
Landry. but now Of Orleans. Our
preference is decidedly for Capde,i'l,e
ior this office. He il a Confederate
veteran, was a great friend to the
Grant parish prisoners while in New
Orleans Oh, account of the Cola Riot
and in capable and worthy OF the po
sition.
For Attorney General the race is t.
he between Judge A. v. Coco, of Avoy
plIes, and Mr.. Walter Guion, OF As
sumption. Our choice in this case il
for Coco, because we believe he vii
he a vigilant and conscientious off
cial in behnlf Of the people. As t.
Mr.. Guion, he has had eight years il
the Office, and there il question as t.
whether he has fully discharged hi
duty in it's administration.
The race for Register of the Stat
Land Office will be- run between A. W
Crnntlell, of Orleans, and +. j. Grace
Of IberviIle parish. MIR. Grace is
gentleman splendidly qualified to
the position, and by all means shoul'
he supported over the man from Or
? leans, which city seems to be endeav
oring to dominate State politics b.
the combine of the bosses. AnOthe
renson that should give Mr.. Grace [
good vote in Grant is his acqnaiDt
. nnce and relation with some OF tn
people of this parish.

Race Troubles at V6rda..
NeqrOes B0mbardcd In Their homes and
Forced to Leave the Town.

From Messrs. H. l.. Brian and
Thos. Chester, of Ver,la, who were in
Colfax, on last Monday. we had an
account of the shooting into the ne
gro quarters of the Ozone Lumber
Co. at 2 O clock on the morning of
Friday, Feb. 18th.
A good deal of dissa tisfactiOn has
existed among the white citizens and
employees at the mills in that section
ever since the introduction OF the
negro laborers by the Ozone Co. more
thnn two years ago. In the recent
cut of wages at the mill, the whites
objected to. the cut, as we'll as their
being forced to trade at the com
pany's commissary for all of their
supplies at exhorbitant prices. The
negroes, however, were content to
submit toall reductions and enforced
trading at the company's commits
sary, and the whites felt compelled
to- agree to the same, or go up
against a losing game.
Thus matters have rocked along 1T
a decided tension for two or three
months, until rupture was precipi-
lated last week by Il negro getting
into fight with white man. Both
were fined by the mayor Of the town.
In commenting on the matter, one OF
the managers of the company is said
To have INDUCED in some unnecessary
offensive aud infamatory talk, and
| and an acute feeling of resentment
was engendered.
At about midnight Thursday some
forty or fifty men tied their horses
three or four hundred yards away,
and, approaching within easy gun
shot pr oceeded to lombard the thirty
or forty houses in which the negroes
were qunrtered. In the fusillade
which followed it is remarkable that
only one negro man and one negro
woman were slightly wounded.
In all there were perhaps two hun
dre,l and fifty negroes, men, women
| and children, in the houses. and the
widest CONSERVATION and terror en-
sued among them. When the train
came along about $50 that morn
ing large number of the negroes
left, and that evening nearly all OF
the balance got away, only three or
four being left, and they were on the
sick list, or were some of the old time
negroes who were told they could
remain.
The raiders were all undoubtedly
from a distance, and the visit seems
to have been a completes surprise tn
the residents of the town. II any oil
the local citizens knew of the contem-
4 plated attack they have given no in
timation of it. Immediately after
the 0ccurance Gov. Blanchard wired
Sheriff Swafford to make an investi
cation and report conditions. Also
!, Adjt. Gen. Stafford, of Alexandria
made an investigation at the gov.
ernor's request. About all that the
Investigations developed is above
stated. The reports all agree that
, conditions were asreported; that thu
trouble WAS due to race conditions
. that the whites did not want Negro
laborers in that neighborhood. wher'
. very few had lived; that unknown
! parties did the shooting, and, while
, they shot to kill, it was miraculous
that none were killed; that the Negro
; laborers have all left Vrrda. ant
quiet now reigns in that locality.
