Considerable excitement was
created this week by the sudden
and violent illness of nine men,
bers of the household of the rail
road agent, Mr.. w. ID. Coleman.
)f the thirteen members of Mr..
'oleman's household (including
isltors) nine were made danger

'aused from clabber left in gram

expressed the opinion that had
the consumption been greater the
result in every case would in all
probability have been fatal. Fortu-
nately all have recovered.
Notwithstanding the statement
above as expressed by medical au-
thority, many of our people are
unwilling to ascrlbe the poison to
the milk and pan theory and at
tribute to sundry other causes,
any of which is mere conjecture
and is entirely individual belief.
But that so many members of the
family were rendered dangerously

i believe it was in March, 1861, that
the glorious 9th Mississippi Regiment of
Confederate Volunteers left fernando
under j. Il. Chalmers a. our Captain.
We had as good men as ever took up
arms for the Cause as were ever in the
field.
We went via Memphis, thence to the
junction of the Mobile d Ohio Railroad
thence to Mobile. We camped in cot
ton shed for about two weeks, thence
went up the Warsaw or Tensas River on
barges, and marched East to the railroad
going South into Pensacola. We were
taken over the Pensacola Bay on barges
to Warrington, little town West of the
Navy yard, to our camp on the bluff,
near the light house. The Eduinoxial
storm in September blew all orr tents
down. We found it very difficult to drill
in the sand, as it was loose and to q
inches deep. Most of the boys were I'M
accustomed to work and the fatigue was
hard to bear.
In that country where there is nothing
hut sand abides a pest known as the
flea. 1t was said that when the regiment
camped three or four weeks in one place
you could reach down in the tent and
grasp handful of sand and the fleas
would kick all the sand from your hand,
trying to get out. | never tried the ex-
pertinent but their bite was SO bad we
had to take salt water baths every morn
ing to heal the bites. We had to move
camp ofteIAto have little rest. Your
humble servant was not well from an
attack of measels when we left home.
Our Captain was elected to the Office
of Colonel and T. W. White of fernando
was our Captain. Chalmers was then in
command of the Brigade at Pensacola.
We held possession of all the points on
the land side Of Bay and Fort McRea,
but Uncle Sam held, Fort Pickens on the
Santa Rosa Island.
| well remember when Coils. Chalmers
and Anderson took their commands one
night to Santa Rosa Island to capture
the Billy Wilson Regiment that was
camped on the island little distance
from Fort Pickens. Having that knowl-
edge of the war times, and my brother

sippi Sound the also belonged to the 9Th

with our wives, boarded the l.. * y. car
at Gulf Port, and passing East through
Mississippi City, Biloxi, Ocean Springs,
Scranton and other sea-cost towns, into
the pine flats that lead us to Mobile, we
crossed the Tombighy River and the War
saw or Alabama River (both bridged) and
then East across the same pine flats that
we footed in 1861, to junction on the
same road to Pensacola, ut Flomaton,
then South to Pensacola. There Is now

side OF the bay down by the navy yard to

yard and stopped in Warrington. Next

\. l.. George, manager of the Concor-

a stalk of Manchurian soya bean, which
he grew on an experimental patch at
Nidalia. The crop was prolific one and
results portend an interesting future for
the crop in Louisiana and Mississippi. 1t
is claimed that the products from the
seeds compete with cotton seed products
as to the grade Of oil and cake. The soya
bean is grown extensively in Northern
Europe. Mr.. George has two acres under
cultivation. The stalk he had with him
was weighted with bean pods. A normal
yield is from 5000 to 1000 pounds an
acre. Two crops can be grown each year.
The inexpensiveness of cultivation is one
of the features of the bean, one hoeing
and one blowing is all that is necessary,
one man can work 100 acres. A test will
be made in the next few days at Tallu-
lab. Fifteen acres are in cultivation near

CONGRESSMAN RANSDELL.

Two years ago Hon. Joseph f.
Ransdell had a walk over to be
elected to Congress. The outlook at
present is that several men in the
Fifth Congressional District would
like to occupy his seat in Congress.
TO Us it sounds like "a joke for any
man in the district to even get his
own consent to oppose Mr.. Rams
dell at this time. The man who
would offer against him would, in
our judgment, be foOlishly brave.
What can that man say to the peO-
pie of this district that would in
duce the people that he was not the
right man and in the right place
to render to the district, the State
and the nation more good than any
other man in the Fifth District? If
Mr.. Ransdell has failed to vote on
the tariff to please every man voter
in the district then we do not hest
tate to believe that his vote on that
measure met the approval of a large
majority of the voters. To remove
Mr.. Ransdell from Congress would
be loss to the district and State.
We need him because he has had
experience. We need him because
he cannot without damage to the
State be left off the committee of
Rivers and Harbors. We need him
because he has prominence i'll the
nation and when he rises from his
seat to address Congress he is recog-
nized as man whose words will
Ike listened to and have weight i'm
shaping legislation. As a worker in
Congress he has no superior. He is
honest, capable and always at his
post of duty. The Fifth District has
no idea of leaving out of Congress
the most fit man in the district for
that place. We do hope that no
man in the district will waste time
trying to occupy the seat of Joseph
f. Ransdell. -Mer Rouge Democrat.

THE PROPOSED OPPOSITION TO
HON. JOS. T.. RANSDELL.

The Gazette views with much
regret, though with very little
alarm, the tendency of some Sec
tions Of the Fifth Louisiana Con-
gresslonal District to offer oppo-
sition to the return of Hon. Jos.
+. Ransdell at the next Congress
.ional election.
We believe that we can say with
out the least fear of successful
contradiction, and at the same
time voice the concensus opinion
of n large majority of the elect
crate of this Congressional Dis
trict, that Mr.. Ransdell has dur
ing his incumb9rcy made an ideal
Congressman, ever mindful of the
interests of his constituents, and
has, on every occasion presented,
sought to make better the condi-
ton of the people of the entire
Mississippi Valley in particular,
as well as to be watchful of the
welfare OF the entire nation.
We are, indeed, reluctant to be-
leve that the voters of our Con-
gressional District are going to
make the mistake in this instance
that the South has so often made
heretofore by retiring faithful
able and energetic representative
after having served the district
in the National House of Repre-
sentatives for only n short time
We do not know who will be Mr..
Ransdell's opponent or opponents
when the campaign is finally
pitched. No doubt, they will be
men of pronounced ability and of
splendid congressional timber, but
we cannot bring ourselves to the
belief that they can be better
adapted and endowed by inherent
ability and training to represent
this district in Congress than Mr..
Ransdell, who is now in the prime
of an active life, and who ranks
high, not only as Southern Con-
gresham, but among the Con-
gressmen of the whole country.
To be able to bring about re-
suits; to able to secure the recog-
milton which our section so rich
ly deserves and so timely needs
in its development; to be able to
WELD an influence at the National
Capital, and to secure aid and
assistance of the different Depart
ments of Government there, when
needed and desired, it is but logi-
, cal and reasonable that repre-
sentative must possess not only
an ability to present his claims
and demands at the proper hour,
but he must necessarily have n
profound knowledge Of the work
ings of the national House of Rep
resentatives and the duties of q
Congressman. In other words,
to be most effective, n Congress
man must have experience, which
he can only have after serving
his people for time.
Since he first entered Congress,
no one can so far forget himself
as to accuse Mr.. Ransdell of in-
fidelity to his district, or the lack
of energy or ability, and we sim
cerely hope that when the time
comes this cloud of proposed OPP
position will have been dispelled
and Mr.. Ransdell will have the
endorsement of his
district, thereby showing the graf
itudc of splendid people for
splendid service and career.

The following two specials from Nat
chez to the Times Democrat will be Of
interest:
-Four cars of rice grown by |. Friedlel
and F. ID. Brown of Concordia parish,
La, were shipped to-day to millers in
New Orleans. This is the first time that
rice has ever been exported from Concor-
dia parish. There are $3.50 acres in cul-
tivation in Concordia and an average of
five cars day for the next thirty DAYS
will be shipped to New Orleans. This
rice was raised on land that had pre-
viously been devasted by the boil weevil.
In test made by /. Friedler on twenty
acres of the first rice cut, 81 bags, aver
aging 1879 to 200 pounds to the bag, were
threshed. The test also demonstrated
that more than fifteen bags will be
threshed to every acre. A total of $50
cars of 250 sacks each will be harvested
in tile parish this year. The rice was
planted March Is, but can be successful
ly planted here as early as March l. A
heavy frost fell on this years crop after
the plant was up, without any damage.
The rice was flooded by pumps from the
Mississippi river. Very little labor was
needed in the cultivation, except in
wedding. The experiences of rice plant
ms of ConcOrdia prove that the rice cron
n cultivation costs about the same as the |
'otton crop, but it costs much less to
harvest and the profits are greater than
derived from the cotton crop.
