Weather and Crops.

The rains continued this week causing
interruption to the important field work
of 3laying- by the cane crop. Little or
no cultural attention was possible under
the existing condition of the soil. Splen-
did growth of the canes is noted every
where, and planters declare that the crop
appears to be one of the best in late
years.
While people in the Northern and
Western States were reported as suffer
ing from the intense heat prevailing
there, we could boast of lower temper
ature and cooling breezee. No prostra
ton from the heat Is reported here, to
our knowledge.
The setting out of sweet potatoes slips
is receiving general attention. especially
in the Bonnet Carre section of the Parish.
where the soil seems best adapted to this
tuber. A good market rules every season
for this product and many small farmers
are engaged in this culture. The weather
has been propitious for paintings.
Watermelons ere being offered along the
coast and nice one can be bought for
a small outlay of money.

fhe Ruston Rally.

The first grand rally OF the campaign
took place at Ruston on the glorious
Fourth. All the candidates for governor,
United States Senator excepting Sens-
tor Foster, we're present and had an
equal division OF time for speechmaking
Three candidates. Michel. Hall and
Aswell aspire to the governorship OF the
State. Michel is a native OF onr sister
parish OF st. James and has been citizen
OF Orleans for many years. He has made
an ideal secretary of State. Polite and
affable. John I. Michel possesses a
splendid education and is the friend of
the masses.
His record as secretary OF State speaks
for itself. attesting to the exceptional
ability with which he discharged bis
duties.
He desires to see high standard OF
public service and his platform should
be read by all voters.
The Good Government League. better
named by the Monroe News Star as 1.-The
put them ont and put US in league" has
forced Judge Hall to become it's candi
date. Many of his close counsellors are
"purists' who have reformed since losing
their political jobs.
Judge Hall has lately been elected to
the position of associate justice OF the
Supreme Court of the State, but refuses
to resign 70 make thu race for another
office. In thus @holding on the Judge
will lose the esteem and respect many
would otherwise have for him.
Professor Aswell, the splendid educator
and late president of the State Normal
School at Natchitoches, is the third
candidate. His administration OF the
public schools. when State Superniten.
dent of Education. resulted in bringing
to US a system which debarred many
home teachers from teaching in the coun.
try schools, preference being given to
Normal graduates. The qualifications re.
quired from those aspiring to the position
OF parish superintendent we're on such
"high' plan that importations had to be
made by many parishes.
For the governorship, therefore we will
give our humble support to Mr.. Miche
believing sincerely that he is the better
man for the exalted honor.

Serious Accident.

Our young friend, Mr.. Emile
Graugnard, of Terre Haute plan
tation, met with a painful acci-
dent near Garyville on Sunday
evening while riding his motor
cycle. The front wheel struck an
obstacle when some parts OF the
mechanism gave way, preciplta-
ting the rider to the ground with
much iforce.
Mr.. Graugnard was rendered
unconscious by the fall and was
conveyed to his home in a car
riage furnished by Mr.. Albert La
biche. We are glad to hear that
Mr.. Graugnard is fast recovering
from the shock and injuries re-

plates the building of a track on

BLACK BOG OF KILBARRoN
Corner Ii the County Of Kildare, Ire.
land, Dear to Those Who
Know II.

The black bog of Kilbarron, In tho
County Kildare, Ireland. lies five long
miles from either railway or postof.
Ace and is considered to be at the
back of beyant entirely"
There are three styles OF dwellings
In the black bog. says the Rosary
Magazine. houses. cottages and cab
ms. The houses are quaint, rambling
edihces owned by the farmers, who
still hold to olden styles and ancient
ways unmindful OF the great modern
note which is sweeping through Ire.
land today.
The cottages belohg to the govern
ment and are rented to laborers at a
very low rate. while the cabins are
simply relics OF the old regime. just
clay huts rooted with straw. There
are very few OF tho latter standing In
Ireland now.
The black bog Ia q dangerous place
for nightly rambles, as 1t abounds In
deep holes full OF inky water. But
some warm summer evening after sun.
set. when the white fogs are rising all
around. go down there all you who
are city tired. and find out how good
that springy sod will feel to your
cramped feet.
Try a short Marathon along those
winding pathways. you who are weary
Of life's treadmill. and see II you do
not get to feeling like a young colt
Just let loose In a clover pasture. On
some misty day In October 20 down
there among the brown heather and
let the long, clean, wet winds blow
the burrows from your forehead while
the raindrops are ~pattering on the
bracken like the wee feet Of the
fairies themselves.
. Always enchanting. always beauti-
fui. even II 1t is Mt the back Of
beyant." the charm OF this old bog
will twine itself round your heart with
a lure strong enough to draw you
back to tho wilds of Kilbarron for
evermore.
