From the Farewell Address.

OF all the dispositions and habits

supports. In vain would that man
claim the tribute Of patriotism who
should labor to subvert these great
pillars Of human happiness. these
frmest props Of the duties Of men
and citizens. The mere politician.
equally with the pious man, ought to
respect and cherish them. A volume
could not trace all their connections
with private and public felicity. Let
1t simply be asked where II the So
curity for property, for reputation.
for life, II the sense Of religious OBJ
legation deserts the oaths which are
the instruments Of investigation In
courts Of Justice? And let ua with
caution indulge the supposition that
morality can be maintained without
religion. Whatever may be conceded
to the influence Of refined education
on minds OF peculiar structure. rea-
SON and experience both forbid us to
expect that national morality can pre-
vail In exclusion Of religious princi-

Fourth and Oats Fifth-large
Potato Yield.

Washington.-''It has paid off mort
cages, it has established banks, il
has made better homes, it has helped
to make the farmer a citizen of the
world, it has provided him with the
means for improving his soil and
making it more productive In the
statement that follows concerning
the crop quantities and values fol
1909 no figures should be accepted
as anticipating the final estimates o.
this department, to be made later
Only approximates can be adopted
such as could be made by any com
petent person outside of this depart
ment. The most striking fact in the
worlds agriculture is the value o.
the corn crop of 1909 in the country
1t is about $l,720, 100000
This corn came from the soil anC
out of the air in l20 days-S14, 900,
600 for one crop, nearly enough fol
two Dreadnoughts, daily for peace oil
war
The value of this corn crop is the
highest on record. In quantity of pro
duction this years crop stands sec
ond with 2,767 100000 bushels.
Cotton is now by far the second
crop in value, and this years croI
is easily the most valuable one to the
farmer that has been produced. With
cotton lint selling at 1890 at the
rrp Nov 1 ond COTTON coo0 cpl1ipe
for about $25 per ton, the lint and
seed of this crop are worth about
$3.50 100000 to the farmer.
There have been three cottOr
crops of more than 13,500,O00 bales
of 500 pounds gross weight, the first
one being in 1904, and commercial
expectations are that the crop of this
year will be below the figure of the
five years preceding.
Third in order of value among the
crops is wheat, worth about $725,000,
600 at the farm, and this exceeds all
previous values by large amount
In 1901 and in 1906 slightly larger
crops of wheat were produced, So
that the yield this year, 725,O00,OOC
bushels. is third in size.
For years hay and wheat disputed
with each other the honor of the place
next after cotton in value, but this
year the separation is distinct, and
hay, with it's value of about $665.0O0
900, is considerably below wheat and
far below cotton
"The quantity of the hay crop is
64,OOO,O00 tons.
"The fifth crop in order of value is
oats, worth this year at the farm
about $4OO, 100000. which is consider
ably above high water mark. In pro
duction this crop is very nearly lea
der with it's 9S4,OOO,OO0 bushels, and
would have been q leader had not the
crop of 1902 been about 100000
bushels larger.
This years crop of potatoes is
more valuable than any one before
produced and is worth about $212,
100000. The large production is
what makes the crop so valuable q
production, that has not been equal

NDERESTIMATiNG THE RE-
SOURCES OF LOUISIANA.
Charles &. Cormier Talks Interest
ingIy Of His Recent Visit to the
Pacific Coast.

New Orleans.-Charles E. Cormier,
president of the COrmieT Rice Com
pany, has just returned to New Or
leans from seven weeks trip on
the Pacific slope. The business OBJ
ject of his trip was to divert rice
business to New Orleans, as within
the last few years New Orleans has
become large factor in the rice
business of the world. Mr. Cormier
was along the Pacific coast from
Portland, Oregon, to Los Angeles,
Cal, and in business way his trip
vas more than satisfactory.
Mr. Cormier said that after being
q traveller in the United States or
the last 25 years, he is now sure that
he is more of Southern man than
ever before, and more sanghine about
the future prospects of New Orleans.
He made one thing clear, and that
is that New Orleans has before her
the fight of her life for the Panama
Exposition, as San Francisco intend;
to put UP a terrific battle for tic
exposition, and, being a city that has
risen from desolatiOn due to earth
quake and fire, does not know the
meaning of the word defeat.
"The people Of San Francisco"
said Mr.. Cormier, have never be-
lieved New Orleans would be capable
Of raising the millions of mcney nee
essary to get the fair. They believe
that money will get the exposition,
and just a few days ago l read an
cisco paper.
Their mistaken idea about New
Orleans is simply astounding. Even
for the sake of argument they grant
that New Orleans could raise the
money, and then they come right
back and say the city could not man.
age the exposition if she got it. They
have a fixed opinion that the popu-
lation Of New Orleans is . mixture
of negroes, mongrels and lazy
whites, and that the fair here would
be a dismal failure from lack of ell
ergy on the part of the people.
Again, San Francisco stands out
as one of the wonders of the world
in having risen from the ruins of
earthquake and fire. She has been
rebuilt magnificently, and she desires
to show the world. For that reason
she will try to strike a sympathetic
chord in the hearts of congressman
when she makes a final bid for the
exposition. When one remembers
that the pioneers of California were
men who braved the hardships of the
plains, it will be conceded that the
present-day generation in California
is not lacking in the fighting spirit
Therefore, it must be impressed
on the minds Of us who are working
for the Worlds Panama Exposition
for New Orleans in 1915 that San
Francisco will put up terrific
battle"
Mr.. Cormier found that the real
competitor of New Orleans in the
race for the exposition Is San Fran
cisco as an individual city. Frisco
is really fighting sinsie-handed
battle against the world, while the
entire Mississippi valley is support
ing New Orleans.

Story of the Bachelors.

Ahbeville.-Sheriff Adam Boud-

a trip to New York. where he went
some days ago in charge of John
Grennen, resident of this parish Tor
the last thirty years. who recently
lost his mind Mr.. Grennen's sister,
living in New York City, asked that
the demented brother be brought to
her. and Sheriff BoudreauX under

get The man became a raving maniac
on reaching New Orleans, and the only
way he could be handled was to heav-
lily manicle him in a stateroom, where
he was closely confined. This dis
poses of the last of the three quaint
characters who lived on the same
place, four miles south of Abbevllle,
some years ago. Tom Bagley and
John Grennen, two bachelors, lived
together on the old John Bagley place
in entire seclusion. About four years
ago there appeared on the same place
an SNNtutilC Olu IShS,i'oiihuh, Ni'es'
Dodson, who opened little store on
the roadside near the bachelor quar-
ters. Some months later DOdson dis
appeared completely, and no trace Of
him was ever had, leaving cash to
his credit in local bank and his
stock of goods, together with his wear
ing apparel. Shortly after this dis
appearance Tom Bagley committed
suicide. and this brought about the
sale of the place, the home of Gren-
men, under foreclosure proceedings.
Grennen lost heavily in the sale Of
the place, as we'll as losing his home,
and he brooded moodily over 1t until
it unbalanced his mind. There Is a
veil Of mystery surrounding the whole
affair that will never be lifted.
