COTTON GAMBLING.

The Caucasian has been complimented
with a copy of the Analysis and Expo
sition of the Scott Anti Cotton Future
Bill issued from New Orleans.
The Caucasian is indebted for this
copy to w B. Thompson. president of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
This bill is viewed and declared to be
discriminatory and mischievous legis-
lation," and that if enacted into law it
would have the effect of eliminating
legitimate speculation, and, in effect, OF
encouraging gambling in its most vicious
forms"
To say the least, if the evil of cotton
gambling can be more mischievous than
it is now as practiced, when millions OF
bales Of cotton are sold daily on pre-
tense, gambled on sight unseen, through
which the market is manipulated by a
few men to the detirment of the pro
ducers, then change in the present sys-
TEN as trial or experiment can do nc
greater harm, nor greater mischief thar
is being experienced now
It would be unreasonable to expect
the cotton exchanges of New Orleans
and of New York should view with ap-
provai a bill whose purpose is designet
to eliminate from commercial every-da,
transactions a system of gambling which
is tolerated because it is conducted witt
the appearance Of legitimacy which i
denied and withheld in gambling gamel

CANNON'S SUCCESSOR
Roosevelt Is Suggested for Speaker of
the House.

There is no telling when or where the
Roosevelt craze will stop. He is being
figured for almost all the things of earth.
The latest from New York is that Au-
gustus Witt Jr., postmaster of Maspeth
Long Island, is behind a movement on
the part of Long Island Republicans to
urge Theodore Roosevelt to run this fall
as congressional candidate in his dis
trict, with the idea in mind that the
former president would be certain OF
election as Speaer of the House. There
is no lack of enthusiasm on the part OF
Mr. Dewitt, and he says the idea has
caught on like wildfre all through Long
Island Moreover, as politician Mr.
Dewitt presents reason for his cam
paign that is certain TO appeal TO Repub-
lican managers everywhere in view OF
the two recent surprising congressional
elections in Massachusetts and New
York.

for New York. This fact was conveyed

And from the report received it was
dry day. In this demonstration II

The bill against gambling pending i'll
Congress was suggested by the farmers
of the country, whose interests and well

A School of These Animals in the Gal

A school of sea lions has been report
ed IN Galveston ship channel between

There is no record of these animals

lion at various points, and last Friday
the dead body of the animal was found

CONGRESSMAN BRoUssARD.

Crowley Signal: Congressman Brous-
sard appears to be in earnest about
stocking the streams of southern Louis
lara with the hippopotamus and the
prairies with the dik-dik and similar an
imals. While the King of the Cajans
is about he should investigate the feas-
ibility of introducing that other rare but
valuable animal, the hog. The hog is not
as picturesque, perhaps, as the dik-dik
not SO graceful as the gazelle, not SC
fleet of foot as the whim-wham nor as
ferocious as the catawampus, but he has
his excellent points. He is unknown II
this section, but if people would reae
up about him he might become popular
His flesh is highly esteemed in tht
smoked state and brings 32c per pound
which is about the price hurnming birds

THE MOBILE REUNION
Confederate Veterans Forty-hve Years
After the Conflict.

New Orleans States During this week
Confederate Veterans from all over the
country will assemble in our neighbor-
ing city of Mobile to participate in their
annual reunion Forty-five years ago
the last gun was fired in the most mo-
mentous conflict of modern times, and
the soldiers of the brilliant though short
lived Confederacy laid down their arms
and returned to their desolated homes
to begin fife anew under conditions OF
the most adverse character.
The passians engendered by that con-
flict which ought to have closed with it,
grew more intense with the cessation of
hostilities, and the radical measures
adopted by the victorious government,
under the whip and spur of sectional
and ruthless leaders, seemed to be aimed
at the complete crushing out of the mas
terfu1 race in the South and the subjec-
ton of the people who fought in the
armies of the Confederacy to the domin-
ion of their late slaves Thus, before
opportunity was presented to them to
repair their wasted fortunes and estates,
the returned soldiers were precipitated
into struggle for self-preservation, and
that too under conditions more severe
than were those by which they were
confronted in the army.
The marvellous struggle of the Con-
federate soldiers of the South during
the period of reconstruction closing with
the inauguration of Hayes, constitutes a
story of fortitude, of courage, of hero
ism and of triumph unparalleled even by
their brilliant achievements on the field
of battle; for during the reconstruction
period the battle waged against frightful
odds, was one for the preservation of
the white race, and the perpetuation of
the American principle of home rule.
And thus, with hands tied, as it were,
and looking down the mu@ @les of the
loaded guns of their oppressors, they
threw off the yoke of tyranny. estab-
lished thei rlocal governments and thus
established forever, ON this hemisphere,
the right of the people to control their
own governments.
And so it happens that the Confeder-
ate soldier, although defeated at Apo
mattox, stands unique among the moral
factors that have tended to settle the
foundations of home rule and to stay the
onward march of n1ilitaristn The ex-
perience and training they received in
military service under the tutelage OF
Lee and Jackson and their matchless
paladins, hardened them and equipped
them to pass successfully through the
fiery ordeal they were compelled to un-
dergo in defending their very ciyiliza-
ton against the bayonets and lust of ar
Unsuitable horde The gathering at Mo-
bile of the gray hosts will not be SO
great, numerically, as other such gather
ings have BEEN There will be vacant
seats around their council boards and
camp fires, tongues that have thrilled
armies with martial resonance will be
silent and gone; full many modern
Latour D'Auvergne will be accounted
for by surviving comrades when the roll
is called; but the spirit of the immortal
men whose valor challenged the adnira-
ton of Christendom will be unquench-
able still.

Qe0JeQ-SCdTClty OF SOlIOIl OSeu IOl
Replanting.
During the past week there was expe-
rienced a period of unreasonable wealth
er which had its climax Saturday and
Sunday to Monday morning in freeze
which has practically wrought millions
of damage to crops in the North and
the Northwest
The South did not escape the icy tenn
perature which has swept over the Cot
ton Belt to the gulf
This sudden change from genial,
springlike temperature to freezing with
ice and snow in many sections of the
South is unprecedented in the record of
the Weather Bureau and is beyond the
recall of the Oldest inhabitant
1t is not possible to estimate the ac-
trlal damage to cotton, but it may be
safely estimated that over fifty per cent
of the cotton up in the cotton producing
States, for instance, Tennessee, Georgia,
part of the Carolinas, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, has been
killed or SO damaged as to be of little
value.
Louisiana seemingly has been more
fortunate, while experiencing a full
share of damage to cotton, which was
in state of having been chopped out"
or about to be chopped out
The situation is aggravated by the
limited amount of cotton seed obtainable
for replanting.
Not anticipating the disaster, there
was no need of holding over any guam
tity of seed for planting, when the seed
commanded ready price at high fig
ures.
The complaint from all parts of the
belt is the great scarcity of seed for re-
planting, which wilr reduce the acreage
materially.
Another feature which may figure in
this reckoning is the probability of much
cotton seed planted late may have ger
minated during the summerlike temper
ature which preceded this frigid blast
and has been checked and killed by the
icy temperature.
This condition would apply in the
States which have received the greatest
damage from the freezing.
AS far as could be ascertained, the
damage to cotton in this section will not
exceed fifty per cent, although on some
plantations and farms the cotton has
been killed, or so injured as to necessi-
tate replanting.
Fruit is safe. The freeze in this sec
ton being comparatively moderate, did
no injury to peaches or apples, or to
berries and other fruit
The Irish potato crop is equally safe,
although in some sections the plant was
nipped by the frost.
Corn is not injured
Tender vegetables, wherever protected
by woodland, show little effect from the
frost.
1t is safe to assume that wherever il
may be impossible to replant to cotton.
the acreage will go to corn and to other
crops which promise some compensating
returns in the fall.
The situation is trying, but it must be
faced with a philosophical spirit. The
situation, especially in this section, could
have been decidedly more aggravatine
than it is, and we should be most thank
full and appreciative. Since it is just as
easy to look on the cheerful sunny side
as on the side of the gloom and the
shadows, why keep cheerful and busy ii
the sunshine.
The tiller of the soil, upon whom we
must all depend, IS already UP and do
ing. God bless him everywhere.
