THE COTTON CROP
Making Good Progress and Looks
Promising.

New Orleans Picayune: The past
week has developed much interesting
information as to the progress of tie
cotton crop. As a rule the weather sit
uation has improved, and in the eastern
section of the cotton belt considerable
progress has been made in getting the
fields into condition and overcoming the
grass which had made great headway
during the wet spell of the early and
middle portions of June. While there
has undoubtedly been some abandon
ment of acreage, the better prices for
cotton and the fine outlook for paying
prices next season have induced farm
ers to work all the acreage that it is
possible to work successfully.
Reports from Texas are generally OF
a favorable character, although there
are some complaints of boil weevil, and
some fears expressed that the rains
will make the weevils more active than
usual On the whole, the opinion seems
to be that the crop is making good
progress and looks promising, although
late there as elsewhere
In Arkansas and Oklahoma condi-
tions are reported as favorable. In the
centra! belt, however, the reports are
not favorable, the crop being backward
and badly in the grass in some sec
tions Much anxiety is also felt as to
the ravages of the boil weevil
The corn crop is making good pro-
gress, and, although it is undoubtedly as
much affected by weather conditions as
cotton. very little complaint is heard
of any setback TO corn. A good corn
crop is more than usually desired by
the South this season, owing to the high
prices of the cereal and the necessity
for economizing in the cost of produc-
ing the cotton crop.

THE FULCO'S TRIAL
The Case May Be Called Tomorrow as
Intended.

Unless there should be developed
some unforeseen delay, the trial of the
Fulcos, father, mother and daughter
indicted for murder, will begin in Ben
ton tomorrow With these three, Sam
Pierro and Joe Ferretto are indicted
for the murder of Wimberck Boney Jr
Ferretto is young man who can
scarcely understand English. and who
helped to hitch Fulco's wagon Pierro
is the man who was to have married
Ida Fulco
For the defense Hon. Joannes Smith
of Bossier and Hon. w. A. Mabry of
Shreveport will appear. Mr.. Sandlin,
district attorney, will represent the
State.
1t may be forecasted that there will
be no rushing the case through, as an
ticipated by some of the people The
accused will have fair and impartial
trial, regardless of the views and the
opinions of those who may want it
raiiroaded through the court
The gentlemen who will represent the
prisoners are honorable, conscientious
gentlemen and will use every legal and
honorable means in the defense The
State is ably represented by Mr.. Sand
lin.
Should the trial begin tomorrow, as
anticipated, there may be come delay in
empaneling jury. Then will follow
the evidence. Ida Fulco has admitted
the killing on the ground of the un-
written law. 1t is claimed that she did
not and could not have committed the
deed Assuming that she will persist
in declaring that she did the killing,
this fact would not release her father
nor her mother, who may be held
guilty, as they were present when the
crime was committed
Ferretto may also be held as an ac
cofnplice, but possibly Sam Pierro, who
hitched the wagon, may be liberated.
It is not possible to anticipate the
line of defense, but it would not be sur
prising if there was an effort to extri-
cate Ida Fulco through the Juvenile
Court Act. But what of her mother?
Being present when the crime was COM
mitted, would she be held guilty as
charged, and if SO held would she be
required to pay the penalty? The very
thought of the hanging of woman is
abhorrent
In this trial there may be presented
some features of great interest The
progress of the trial will be watched
with the keenest of anxiety, not only by
the Italians but by all classes of the
oennie

EXCEPTION OVERRULED
The Contention Against the Shreveport
and Northeastern Is to Be Tried on
Its Merits.

The suit of w. K Henderson vs. The
City of Shreveport and the Shreveport
and Northeastern Railway was argued
yesterday afternoon on exceptions. In
brief, the suit is to secure the annul-
ment of the further collection by the
city of the special tax voted in aid of
this road, known as the Clingman Com
pany, and obtain from the city the tax
assigned by taxpayers to the State Fair
Association, for which stock is to be
issued.
The claim of Mr. Henderson aggre-
gates about $500 The case has been
delayed and continued on technicalities.
1t must now be tried on its merits. AS
the railroad company has failed to COM
ply with its contract, it can have no
standing in equity and is not entitled to
single cent of the money held by the
city and which is the property of each
taxpayer to the amount of the tax paid.
The delay by the opposition of this
company is vexatious, since it is more
or less embarrassing to the State Fair
Association in carrying out a pro-
gramme of improvements which had
been contemplated on the money ex-
pected from the taxpayers who have
their claim to the Fair AS
Sociation.

DEBT FULLY PAID
Senator McEnery Can Have no Fur
ther Claim on the People.

Ruston Leader: If the Democracy of
Louisiana was ever indebted to Samuel
D. McEnery, which some of us are be-
ginning to doubt, that debt has been
paid a thousand-fold. Senator Mem
cry has had good, strong grasp on
the public chest for many, many years,
in fact, practically ever since the peo-
pie of the State took the notion into
their heads that they were due him
something for acts of courage displayed
by him in handling negroes way back
IN the Reconstruction times. Yes, he
has been fully paid, and overpaid How
has he reimbursed the people for this
overpayment? By misrepresenting them
in the halls of Congress By repudiat-
ing the platform of the party that has
honored him, for 10, these many years.
BY voting with the stand-pat Republi-
cans on every measure that favors the
rich man and is detrimental to the
common people, his constituents. 1t is
every day talk to hear men say that
McEnery is just as good Republican
as Aldrich or any other Republican in
the United States Senate.
As we have more than paid Senator
McEnery for any debt of gratitude we
may have been due him in the past, and
as he no longer represents the Demo
cratic party or respects its platform
it is time to sidetrack him and elect a
man to the place he now fills that will
stand for and work for the interests of
the Democratic party.
