Lake Charles Not Affected.

Lake Charles.-None of the saw
mills in Lake Charles are affected
by the decision of the Southern lum-
ber men to shut down eleven mills
where the organization of Timber
WORKERS union ~ suspected. Eauan
of the mills are located in the north
ern part OF Calcasieu parish-the In
dustrial Lumber company's two mills
at Oberlin and one at Elizabeth, the
King-Ryder mill at Bon Ami, the Hud-
son River Lumber company mill at
De Ridder. the American Lumber COM
pany mill at Merryville, and the Four
C mill at Carson. The latter is al
ready shut down, having closed three
weeks ago on account Of labor
troubles. The Lake Charles saw mill
men and their employees had a three
months struggle four years ago. when
all the local mills suspended opera
tions. Since then they have been
free of labor troubles, and no organ
ization Of mill employees is in exist
ence here.

Excessive Rains in Louisiana.

.Abbeville.-The well-night continu-
GUS rains of the past ten days have oc-
casioned much anxiety among the
farmers as to the outcome of what
was the most promising crop prospect
the parish has known in many years.
The cotton and corn crops have suf-
-fared most. The fields are flooded
and the roads Well-nigh rmpassable.
The total rainfall since the first of
July exceeds twelve inches, and it has
rained almost every day, and the
havy laden clouds which arise with
the sun, which never shines, give
small hope of cessation. This rainy
season" is mi-tropical and vividly
recalls that of 1905, when the cotton
and corn crops were literally washed
away in many instances by the tor
rental rains. -.

New Qrieana Rlce Market.

New Orleans.-The strong tone Aat
ruled in the market for rough rice for
several days was again in evidence
Saturday, but offerings were light.
The market was practically bare Of
supplies and nothing was offered from
store, and as a result no trading was
done during the early hours. Clean
rice was steady, with only moderate
volume of business transacted, due to
the light offerings. Quotations:
Rough rice-Honduras steady, light Of

seventy-one Years In a Shoe shor

Seventy-one Years In Shoe Shop.
Charles H. Wilson of Troy, N. Y.
occupies the unique position of having
been in business in one building for II
years; at least he will have completed
II years in the shoe business at 242.
244 River street August II next. This
record, it is believed, can be equaled
by few If any shoe retailers In this
country. Mr.. Wilson has also been In
Business for himself for more than 80
years. Mr. Wilson is today just ~
much in active business as he was al
most three-quarters Of a century ago.
when as thirteen-year-old lad he en-
tered the employ Of John Leonard
Williams of Troy. To be exact, that
was August IL, 1910. Mr.. Williams
kept shoe store at 242-244 River
street in a building which had been
erected in 1903, and so the building
now occupied by Mr.. Wilson for his
retail shoe business is one of the old
est buildings in Troy.
