Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, Dec. 6.-The children
are getting busy with their pens and
paper, writing to Santa Claus, telling
him what they want him to bring
them for Christmas. Their post
office is the fire place. They say he
reads them in the smoke as it goes
out of the chimney.
Mr.. James NJ. Morris died Novem-
Der 27, 1909, after a short illness.
He was f1fty-nine years old. Was
buried at Bethesda grave yard. He
was a member Of Bethesda Baptist
church. He leaves wife and seven
children to mourn his death and see
that his grave is kept clean. He will
be missed by his many friends as well

kind neighbor, a loving husband and
an honored father.

been managing Mrs. S. NJ. Browns
plantation for her for several years,
was taken suddenly i'll on last Fri,

speechless when taken and never re-
covered enough to talk to his loved
ones. He died Saturday and was
buried on Sunday afternoon in Bethes-

sympathy of a host of friends.
Cotton that the farmers have been
scrapping up for Christmas came in
freely Saturday. Some peas and
corn was brought to town also, but
not much of either of these. Cotton

in this section was not very good.

Peary Versus Cook.

THE unfortunate controversy concerning lhe
of the north pole that has arisen De-
tween the two distinguished gentlemen, or at
least between their respective adnerents' seems
very absurd to those who have noted what mas
cone an and the %virulence Of the attack OF CON-
mander Peary on DR.. Good, which seems SO en-
tjrely uncalled for, has led popular sympathy 10
favor the claims of DR.. Cook. In tact, the ar
roqance sometimes displayed by naval and army
officers and the recent unpleasant experiences
in that direction in connection with the Killing
Of vounk Sutton at Annapolis and the more re-
cent severe hazing of Sutton's brother at west
Point, and the practical killing OF Cadet Booze
there some years back, lead to very severe crltl-
c;sn among the men on the street OF these men
who are so arrogant in their pretenslons ana
who are willing to allow so little consideration
to what may be done by laymen, or by stan
officers. such as DR.. Cook. So lar as lHE
LOWER COAST GAZETTE is concerned, it believes
that both of these parties reached to so-calleo
north pole, or 80 degrees latitude north. Inc
regulars of the army any navy will doubtless
regret that q mere doctor got there first. What
over NAV be their regrets, it doesn't help their
cause to send wireless messages about gold
BRICKS" This time and in this controversy the
medical man seems to have his inning and the
staff officer by his conduct in the controvers!
shows up to the best advantage, while Com
mander Peary. by his arrogant assumptions bld'
fair to lose the sympathy and the commenda
tons of the American people, although nj
nrowess in the Arctic regions fairly earned al
this long ago.

The Steamer Grover Cleveland.

THE serious accident that befell the steamer
Grover Cleveland on Wednesday, October 8,
excites much sympathy on the Lower Coast for
the loss thus occasioned to the owners and
officers of this excellent boat. Taking on fuel
oil at Gretna, in some inconceivable manner the
oil became ignited and the upper works of the
boat burst into flames, which reached one of
the oil tanks that was being filled. With her.
culean efforts on the part of the officers and
crew and with the aid Of the people Of the Gulf
Refining Co. that were supplying the oil, and
the Port Commissions boat the Samson. as well
as that of the Independent, the fire was finally
suppressed and it is to be hoped that this good
packet boat will soon be back in the trade again.
THE LOWER COAST GAZETTE extends its sin
cerest sympathy to the owners Of the boat, in
Guiding Captain Renaud, the general manager
of the company, and Captain H. L. LANCE,
directly in charge of the boat and will hope that
that within ten or fifteen days her welcome
whistle will be heard along the banks of the
Lower Mississippi as of old.

An Ill Wind, Etc.

THE recent storm seems to have scored a
few good points. 1t seems to have wiped out
the white fly pest, which is of recent advent
among the orange trees Of this parish. The
white fly is a very small insect much suscepti-
bic to the effect and influence Of any strong
wind current, so frail is it's makeup. 1t is as
equally dangerous to the tree as the scale and
has not yet yielded to the scientific treatment
that the latter has, although spraying is said to
have had it's baneful effect upon the white fly.
It is therefore, gratifying to hear that this
pesky insect has not been able to withstand the
force Of the driving rain and wind and that it

this long ago.

THAT the corn crop will become a more I'M
portant factor in Southern Louisiana IN the 1u-
ture than in the past is manifest by the lncreas-
ing interest that is being taken in it, both by
corn producers and by the local corn consumers
The latter see that it is far better for the Whole
country for them to buy their corn at nome anu
thus encourage corn production here ana m
crease the general wealth of the country IN that
wav. rather than to'buy the corn imported IN
from other states and thus perpe+uate the
single crop idea, which sometimes wins, ana
often fails to win.
In the LAFAYETTE ADVERTISER OF October
S, the Peoples Cotton Oil Co., of Lafayette are
advertising that they will give a dollar a barrel
FOR good slip shucked corn, delivered at their
| oil mill in LAFAYETTE. Lafayette is the very
town where some ten or fifteen years ago, when
a large corn crop had been harvested, the corn
growers found it impossible to get a market and
sales were reported to have been made as low
as twenty-five cents per bushel OF ftty-slx
mounds of shelled corn. The Peoples Cotton
Oil Co. there now offer a dollar a barrel Tor
GOOD slip shucked corn and that means about
q dollar q bushel, as a fairly good barrel OF slip
shucked corn will shell out any way about ttty-
six pounds and sometimes as much as seventy
pounds of corn. Years ago the common price
of slip shucked corr was fifty cents a barrel II
the country on the general assumption OF hit!
cents a bushel. Now the price is double and
is certainly worth every farmers and planter
effort to increase his corn crop, even to a. pom
at which he will have corn for sale. There vii
always be a market for it.

Some Storm Phenomena.

IN the storm of September 20, certain tea
lures were so exceptional as to apparently take
that storm out of the ordinary schedule. The
speed of the wind was so great thai the ar was
filled with a mist of water forty or hfty 1eeV
shove the sea level and this when no ram was
failing. There seems to have been some cyclo-
mic action that picked up the water bodily ana
carried it forward with the speed OF the wlna'
At Pointe-a-la-H ache during the day the pack
water was high and the danger of an oVerflo"
WAS regarded as imminent, and all at once the
overflow came and in a few hours the ehule
country was a raging sea from the Back LeVee
more than a half a mile back, up to the river
front. At Belair the back water was hlgn al
dark, but not alarmingly so, and during the six
bonrs between then and IL O'Clock, 1t IS reported
tn have raised two feet. In St. Bernard Par1sh,
East Of Bayou Terre aux Beufs, down opposite
the Island a gentleman there resident was
standing near his house with his little BOY anu
the bow called his fathers attention TO an on
coming wave, in fact a tidal wave, and IN ten
minutes the country all around them was sub
merged.
1t seems scarcely pOSolCie eio' YIN
country should have been submerged so quickly
and with 50 little warning, unless we advance
the tidal wave theory and cyclone action on the
water picking it up bodily, as it were, and car
rying it forward. 1t was evident to every o.
server that in a small way this effect OF the
storm prevailed during the entire day OF Mon
day. September 20, but the vast masses OF water
brought in on to the land indicate that TINS

the water carrying it on over the land and TO {

Tidal waves, such as that which occurred IL
the Straits of Messina and destroying the cite
of Messina and Reggie, properly occur iron

indicates that the great hurricane. or cyc!on
