SHOOTING CRAPS" AND JUG
CLING COTTON.

Atlanta Constitution: The congress
ional probe of the New York Cotton
Exchange reached fitting close the
other day with striking statement
from Representative Bur1eson Of Texas.
Mr.. Burleson used figure of speech
often invoked by the Constitution when
he declared, in substance, that the ex-
change, by comparison with the bucket
shops, was as Monte Carlo and its rou-
lette and monthly record of suicides is
to the game of craps the pickaninnies
play in the back alleys"
He might have extended the simile
still further, and showed how all activi-
ties of the exchange made trivial by
comparison horse race gambling, poker
games and other games of chance now
coming to be universally mathematical.
In the matter of race track betting,
there is simply no basis of comparison
between the iniquities of pool selling and
the deadly trail of the exchange.
Followers of the track are at least
there by their own volition, and the
sums possible to be lost are automati-
cally limited.
Gambling in the products of the farm
affects millions upon millions of people
who do not even know that such thing
as cotton market or a grain pit exists.
1t reaches out toward the pocket of
the producer and the consumer with
like gleeful impartiality, taking toll
wherever and whenever it can, which is
most of the time.
Yet, the fewest number of Americans,
comparatively speaking, understand the
situation in its countless possibilities for
mischief.
1t is simple to raise hue and cry
against the local Garfield
1t is equally simple to build up senti-
ment against race track gambling
But the exchange and the pit, inAict-
ing infinitely greater harm, must be
fought gradually, reduced piecemeal,
with large question IN the end of
whether triumph is final
Using large terms, these are the es-
sentia1 differences between shooting
craps" and juggling with the nations
products.
Small wonder that the Farmers I'm
ion, the farmers generally, have concen-
tfated their largest artillery upon this
enemy

NED BALANCE KILLED
An ARRAY Between Two Men Seeking
Negro Laborers-The Two Men Well
Known in Ruston.

Ruston Leader Feb. FL: News of a
fatal quarrel between Mr.. Ned Balance,
formerly a well known resident of this
parish but for the past two or three
years a resident of Richland parish, and
Mr.. Thos Howell, another well known
resident of this parish The trouble
occurred near Oak Grove church in this
parish, few mileh east of Arcadia, yes
terday afternoon, and as result Bal
lance was shot and instantly killed and
Howell was shot with a shotgun loaded
with buckshot, and dangerously if not
fatally wounded.
From what we can learn of the trout
bic, it seems that Mr.. Balance was in
the Oak Grove neighborhood for the
purpose of getting negro laborers from
there TO go back with him to the swamp
TO work on the plantation over there of
which he i'll overseer. 1t is also stated
that he, Balance, wastrying to get some
of Howell's hands to go with him, and
this was the cause of the trouble.
It is reported that soon after the quar-
rel began that Mr.. Balance shot Mr..
Howell with a load of buckshot in the
breast, and that Howell fell to the
ground In falling, or as hoon as he fell,
Howell, even though mortally wounded
and with seven buckshot in his body,
pulled hi11 revolver and fired at Bal
lance, the ball striking Balance in the
ear and crashed through his brain, kill
ing him instantly. It is also stated that
after Balance had fallen to the ground
that Howell crawled up close to him
and shot him another lime. not knowing
