When my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave

again and it spread all over his head.

The CROP CONDITIONS
ARE JUST SPLENDID

and Cotton Is Showing Up Good.
SCnELL CANAL and RICE
The Rains Have saved All Crops Farmers
viii Plant Cane For the
Factory.

Il have never seen better cror
prospects, said Mr.. R. Lee
Mills, President of the Farmers
Alliance of st. Landry parish,
when in town last Wednesday.
And | hear of very few boil
weevils, except in certain por.
tions of the parish-and even in
these infected districts they are
not in great numbers. In my
field a darkey claims to have seen
and caught one weevil. The cot
ton crop is practically saved, and
unless something unforeseen hap
pens, it will be a good one. The
corn is good, and there is COM
mendable diversifcation every
where. Things look good to me, +"
continued Mr.. Mills, who is a
progressive farmer, and who has
always taken the interest of the
tillers of the soil-in fact, he is
one of their best friends. He
lives in the Bellevue section.
And this is the report from
very nearly every section of the
parish. The acreage in cotton
has been increased, and pastures
have beed converted into fields of
corn, cotton, rice and truck.
Rice along Schell Canal will
predominate as a crop, as there
seems to be no doubt of the
ability of the canal furnishing all
the water necessary this season.
In fact the canal is now full of
water.
Everything considered, we
agree with Mr.. Mills: Things
look good to us.
On account of the erection of a
sugar refinery near Opelousas,

A Surprise Party

A party of wanderers started
out from town Thursday night
On the Bellevue road, bear
ing a mysterious and sus-
picious look. They wandered a
3 short distance until, finally
they arrived at the home of three
charming young ladies. Now,
whatever possessed the 'tramps"
could not be OWNED, but any,
way they stopped and went in.
One of the young ladies came
out to the door, and behold, a.
miracle! instead of turning the
'tramps" away, she bade them
welcome.
It developed that the wander
ers were not 'tramps, but
pleasure seekers, who had
gathered at the home of Mrs. F.
n McCorkle and had gone to
surprise their friends the Misses
Wilson.
The 'tramps' were invited in
by the young ladies and treated
rnoyally. I All means of entertain
n1ent ! were indulged in, and it
was !, not until a late hour that the
wanderers" consented to take
their departure, having all fully
enjoyed the evening.

JAILER DOUCET MAKES
A STATEMENT IN The
MORRIS ESCAPE.
Denies Statement of Times.
Democrat Correspondent
that Negro Was Given
Privileges.
To the Times-De Democrat:

To the Times democrat:
In your issue of the % inst.
from Opelousas, your CORE
spondent makes the statement
that Willie Morris sometime
since escaped from Jail, after
winning the confidence of The
jailer, who did not lock him u1
as securely as he should.
| want to say right here, thai
if your correspondent would take
the trouble to investigate this
matter before making such wild
statements, he may be in a DO.
sition to give focts as they really
are.
Willie Morris was locked up in
an iron cell. the door Of which
has a crack, between the door
and the frame, sufficient to al
low piece of iron to get be-
tween, and with that piece of
iron priced the door open. I am
unable to account where he got
the iron, unless it was handed to
him from the outside, which
would be a very easy matter to
do as the Jail is not protected
from the public by any wall,
fence or anything else, thereby
giving an opportunity to any
one from the outside to hand a
gun, crowbar, or any other
weapon through the iron bars,
thus not only enabling the pris-
oner to escape, but, placing the
jailer's life in danger at all times.
After getting out of the cell,
he made his escape from the
roof, out of the same hole that
had been made by some other
prisoners who had made their es-
cape sometime back, and the Po-
lice Jury of the Parish failed to
have this hole securely fixed.
] feel that I have done my duty
in this matter, and | write this
SO that the public may not be
misled by statements made by
correspondents who know moth
ing about the conditions existing
in or about the Jail, and that, the
public may place the blame, if
any there is, where it belongs.
Respectfully.

Competent Official Is In the

Term---OppOsed by Mr..

Fred Grace, the Plaquemine
fellow who took the bit in his
mouth and ran without factional
endorsement and won for Com
missioner Of the Land Office in
the last State Primary, is a can
didate for reelection.
Things look bloomingly roseate
for his reelection, think his
friends.
He is a good fellow and a com
petent officer, and Mr.. Johnson,
who is opposing him for the
office, will doubtless think he is
in an odds-on fight before the
finish.

Hon. Fred J. Grace, of
Plaquemine, Iberville parish, is
a candidate for reelection to the
Office of register of the State
Land Office. He made his official
announcement a t Saturday,
submitting his candidacy to the
Democratic primary.
Mr.. Grace has just completed
a partial tour of the State, dur
ing which time he met many
friends, all of whom assure him
the he will receive their undi-
vided support. That Mr.. Grace
has made an efficient officer,
thoroughly competent and Of
great service to the State in all
land matters, has been generally
recognized. Never has a man
filled the position who devoted SO
much of his energies and ability
to the development Of Louisiana
land interests. He has taken an
active part in the conservation
of the States natural resources
and is a serving member on the
Conservation Committee.
He made SO popular a race
four years ago that he even sur
prised himself. He is a good
campaigner, a good mixer and
will soon begin a thorough can
vass of the State.
In making his simple an
nouncement, Register Grace says:
I have striven faithfully to per-
form the duties of my Office to
the best interest of the State,
and if reelected will continue to
work along these lines. ="

.SIXTY-FIVE CARLOADS
OF IRISH POTATOES
This Is The Amount shipped From OpeIousas
This Season.
VAST QUANTITIES OF SWEETS
VIII Ship $50 Carloads At Good Prices, and
the Fall Potato Crop In St. Landry Will Be
4 Big One.

The Opelousas correspondent
OF the Crowley Signal tells {
story which needs no rewriting
1t is a story of the greatness
and possibilities of ST. Landry
parish, and it is a true story.
Perhaps more could be told,
but that will do for the present.
Says the correspondent:
Opelousas, La, Juue %. One
firm in Opelousas has shipped
thus far this season sixty-five
carloads of Irish potatoes and an
immense quantity of sweet pota-
toes. The firm of Littell and ia
cobs will distribute two carloads
OF seed potatoes for fall planting,
in addition to an immense guam
tity of domestic seed that will be
planted. Irish potatoes are now
bringing in Opelousas as high as
81. 80 a bushel.
The farmers of st. Landry
parish and the northern part of
Acadia parish have never been
as prosperous as they are now
They are selling vast quantities
of sweet and Irish potatoes and
the prices for both are very high
and the market good. Opelousas
buyers now have an agent trav-
cling through the west taking
orders for sweet potatoes, of
which Opelousas buyers extends
to. Alexandra north and to Lafa-
yette and Church Point on the
south, and east to the Atchafa-
laya and west to the Watkins
road.
Opelousas potato buyers adj
vance the seed and deduct its
cost from the crop. They do not
depend on commission men or on
outside buyers, but handle prac-
tically all the potatoes grown in
that section.
Immense quantities of pota-
toes are coming in every day and
the amount of money that is be-
ing turned loose makes the town
prosperous and busy.

THERE WILL BE A HOT
TINE IN CHICOT
EVaDgelIns Town Has Arranged for Barbs-
cue and Public Speaking.
THERE MIGHT BE POLITICS
District Attorney Lee Garland 10 Be the Main
Orator Of the Day speaking Under
Big Cane.

There will be a "Chicot" as
well as a ''Ruston" on the Fourth
of July.
It is admitted that Ruston will
practically decide the Zine up
in State politics.
Aswell, the choice of that sec
ton of the State, will be the hero
of the day. A great ovation
awaits him, according to common
reports.
Governor Sanders will be there
also, and will announce his plat
form, it is said. Of course it will
be a ringing one, and willinclude
a reply to his critics. It is con-
ceded that the dashing young
Governor is very strong in North
Louisiana, and that he will be re-
ceived we'll at the Ruston meet
ing.
Ransdell, the North Louisiana
candidate for the Senate, will be
among his folk, and will divide
honors with Sanders, although
they are not running for the
same term, Congressman Rams
dell having announced for the
Fostea term.
There will be other notable
candidates present, and the day
is supposed to be the opening
wedge of the campaign.
But this section will also have
a notable day, if reports are cor
rect.
Chicot, a part of St. Landry
before the creation of Sweet
Evangeline, wants to start the
ball a'rolling in political matters.
Ithas been a custom over in Chi
cot for Henry Erich and others to
get up a barbecue and public
during every campaign.
The affair would occur under
historic oak trees, where promi-
nent men of the past had appeal
ed to the people for votes. 1t is
an ideal spot. Now they pro-
pose to continue the same custom,
rusty with years, and July the
Fourth, the day of the birth of
Old Glory. has been selected as
the day to call the boys for pa
rochial officers to the post. This,
Of course, is, as said before,
merely common report. On "the
face of the papers the affair is
only a social gathering.
The Clarion understands that
District Attorney R. Lee Garland
will be the orator of the day.
But I don't understand it to be
! political meeting, - said the
guarded ''State" when question
ID as to the affair. Il have been
invited to speak, and have con-
'ented to do so. What might de-
yelop there don't know
Anyway, a good time is ex-
,ected at Chicot on the 4th.
At Ruston, it is well-known
hat Cayenne pepper is in the air.
There will be politics there.
