COLD WAVE PREDICTED
VIII Start from Northwestern States
and Travel This Way

Washington, Aug. 2a-Chilly weather
is. on its way, according to the general
forecast for the. present week, issued by
Willis I. Moore, chief of the Weather
Bureau The chilly wave will begin its
sweep across the country the middle Of
the week, starting from the Northwest
ern States and reaching the Atlantic
coast Friday or Saturday. It's appearance
will be rendered the more disagreeable
BY reason of the fact that it will be pre-
eeded by moderately warm weather, 50
that the drop in temperature will be the
more severely felt: AS result Of the
sudden change there are almost contin-
nous showers in the Southeastern States.
During the last week temperatures
slightly below normal ruled throughout
the country and there were light frosts

WILL n BE MICHEL?
NTll the People Accept the Ring.
Choice for Governor?

Ibervil1e Sentinel: As had been fore
casted by the daily papers some time be-
fore its occurrence, the State ring has
framed ticket which is TO be submitted
TO the people in the primary to be held
TO select candidates for the various
State offices. Work tending to the selec-
ton of John Michel as the standard
bearer of the ring had been progressing
for quite a while, and resulted in the
sidetracking of Fl. Garland Dupre, who
was popular aspirant for glbernato-
rial honors, When Congressman Gil
more died the ring promptly decided. be-
fore his body was cold, as in the case
OF McEnery, that Dupre should become
a candidate for the position, thereby
leaving the road leading to the govern
orship open for Michel up to which
time there were no signs to indicate the
independent movement which is now SC
pronounced. Dupre was given to under
| stand by the Democratic party-the sew
/ enteen ward bosses and thirteen banks
possibly-that he must abandon the idea
Of running for governor and become a
candidate for Congress or he would gel
nothing. In other words, that the ring
would drop him from IFS list of mem
bership and contest his aspirations for
the governorship. He had to accept, ir
order to continue to receive the favor
of the masters.

WEATHER AND CROPS
Notable Improvement Conditions En-
couraging IS Safe and Is Being
Harvested in Many Sections.


New Orleans Picayuhe Aug. 22 The
past week has been the most favorable
period the cotton crop has experienced
il. some time. In the central and eastern
portions of the belt, where until month
ago the crop had deteriorated owing to
excessive rains, the weather has been
practically ideal, with abundant sun
shine, timely showers and moderate tenn
peratures. As a result cotton has i'm
proved very much, and in most of the
sections referred to a good crop is now
expected
Even in Texas, where until very re
Gently a serious lack of moisture has pre-
vailed, rains have. been experienced dur
ing the week that have extended practi-
caly over the entire State, 50 that the
drouth may be assumed to have been
broken. The deterioration from the dry
weather was probably not very great,
the main apprehension having been due
rather to what might have hapepned had
the drouth not been broken than to what
actually did occur because of the dry
spell.
With anything like normal conditions
from now on there should be no reason
to fear a failure of fairly full crop Of
cotton As a big crop is actually needed,
there is no fear that prices will not fol
low a profitable level, no matter how
large the yield While it is generally
reported that the crop is later than
usual, the actual facts show that the re-
ceipts of new cotton to date are exceed
ing all past records,
The corn crop is being harvested in
many sections, and is turning out liberal
as far as the. South is concerned. The
rice crop is also being harvested, and
although rains interfered with the gath
ering, it is believed that the yield will.
prove satisfactory, even if Something
short of last year.
All the reports from the sugar fields
are optimistic. Owing to the warm
weather and the frequent showers the
canes are growing rapidly and now
present most promising appearance.
From present appearances. a good crop.
of sugar is promised, and planters are
making every preparation for taking off
liberal tonnage of cane. The prospect
for prices is favorable, as supplies every
where are running low, and when the
Louisiana crop comes on the market it
will be badly needed.

PANAMA EXPOSITION
Taxpayers of New Orleans Organize to
Fight the Tax.

There has developed in New Orleans
a strong opposition to the tax levy in
favor of the proposed Panama EXPOSE
ton. What effect this opposition may
have in the future may be revealed on
the returns of the election.
It has been pointed out to the taxpay-
ers that New Orleans now owes
$32,527,58I, and will pay $I,463,658 in
interest on her debt next year. In a
short time 100000 sewerage bonds are
to be sold
At a recent meeting of the Taxpayers
Association, State Senator Charles
Louque, who is a member of this organ
ization, said tThe foregoing being care
fully considered, it is easy to understand
why the people who will have to pay the
tax for the exposition, object TO having
it fastened upon thenl since it really
looks as though they are at this time
carrying about as much along that line
as they can well stand up under Il IS
possible that there are thousands of peo-
pie who do not know that the city of
New Orleans is so deeply in debt, and
people who understand what a debt of
such magnitude means, looking at it
from a plain business common sense
standpoint, can not help but admit she
has good cause for protesting and OBJ
jeeting to an additional levy of $6,5oo
coo, which future generations will have
te pay. It does not look fair, and hard
" seems business1ike'
In commenting on this association of
taxpayers, the Iberville Sentinel says
This complaint and objection, coming.
from New Orleans the logical point,
will be quite likely to have a bad effect
upon the country rubes, who are being
asked TO consent to tax themselves to the
extent of $1,ooo,ooo to make up the re-
quIred amount to meet the ante Of Cali
fornia. These rubes are already ex-|
pressing the opinion that New Orleans,
which is to be the principal beneficiary,
should pay the entire amount, and now
that she IS protesting against paying any
of it, it would not be surprising to see
the rubes decide to do the same thing.
In view Of the conditions as. they exist
today with regard to taxation, and the
manner in which our people are op-I
pressed by it, it would not surprise us a
BIT to see the whole thing killed BY an
aroused people"

AN ABSURD PROPOSITION.

It would seem from the reports flashed
from Baton Rouge that some of the
wise-acres in the State are much con
cerned over the great wealth accruing to
the Caddo Levee Board from the leases
in the oil fields. The revenues in money
from these oil wells. operated on the
lands of the Caddo Levee Board, yield
about $1,000 day According to these
wiseacres the Caddo Levee Board should
pay its bonded debt, and after liquidat-
ing all the claims against the board then
the revenues from the oil fields con
trolled By the Levee Board should be ap-
Piled 10 iiquidating the State debt.
Good scheme, very, but what process
of law could the State invoke to despoil
the Caddo Leyee Board of these reye-
nues
Instead Of the State, Caddo parish
should be the beneficiary from the ae-
cunlulation of these revenues, since the

THE COTTON CROP
Favorable Reports Except from Texas
Where There Had Been no General
Rainfall-Boll Weevils in Louisiana
and Mississippi.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 22-The sum
mary of the cotton crop conditions pub
Hshed by the Commercial-Appea1 today
follows: Unfavorable reports come
from Texas and north and central Geor-
gia. Elsewhere with local conditions
the crop-is now in the best state OF
promise of the season. The August
fruitage has been heavy and the plant
is thrifty and growing In Oklahoma
with an average or late frost, the larg
est crop within number of years will
be harvested. No shedding is reported
except in the dry districts as above The
bolls on the plant are still young and
continued favorable weather is needed
for their proper development, while the
general lateness of the plant in the mat
ter of growth makes late frost very
desirable. ) With such a frost assured,
the general crop prospect will be fav-
orables.
Telegraphic reports up TO Sunday
night show that Texas had no general
rainfall during the week and that de
terioration of the crop has been checked
over a limited and scattered territory
comprised mainly of the lower Panhan-
die and northern and extreme western
central Texas. The heavy movement in
the south and southwest is the result of
rapid and premature opening of bolls.
The crop is now nearly matured
Boil wetvils have destroyed consider
able cotton in Louisiana and southern
Mississippi, but elsewhere have not been
an important factor with the crop.
