To the Democrats of Louisiana:
Having been selected by the Demo-
cratic National Campaign Committee as a
member and chairman for the State OF
Louisiana of it's finance committee, hereby
solicit campaign contributions from all
Democrats and earnestly urge each to con-
tribute as literally as he is able to do. 1t
is his party duty thus to assist in winning
the great victory promised by the nomina-
ton of Gov. Wilson.
The people of Louisiana have pecu-
liar interest in this campaign as a result
of the advanced position taken by the party
in its platform in relation to the subject of
the improvement of the Mississippi River
and in committing the party to the policy
of assuming charge Of the great work of
protecting the people living along its course
from inundation.
All contributions may be made directly

Says the New Orleans Christian Advo-
cate: "Beer cannot stand the light"
Germans know the damaging effects of
light on beer" The preceding sentences
are extracts from brewery advertisement
How much truth is unwittingly contained
in these two remarks! Certainly, beer
cannot stand the light. Neither can the
acts of the men who make it, nor the men
who sell it, nor the dens of filth and slime
where it is sold, nor the politicians whose
domain is within the walls of the beer sa-
loon. Light and beer are enemies. Light
is the enemy of almost every unclean thing.
"They love darkness rather than light,
because their deeds are evil.''

Talk about the high price Of living and
railroad freight rates! When the editor
of the Banner commenced excepting
house" in January, 1868, he paid twenty
dollars for the first barrel of flour he ever
bought, and three dollars to have it hauled
from Shreveport, via Benton, to Bellevue
thirty miles. twenty three dollars for
barrel Of flour! But prices were higher
than this in 1885 or 1856, when Red River
was not navigab!e for even the lightest
draught steamboats, above "the falls F" at
Alexandria, and merchandise for Shreve
port was hauled by mule and OK teams
from Alexandria and Lake Providence, on
the Mississippi River. If our memory is
not at fault, some Shreveporters paid as
much as twenty dollars barrel to have
flour hauled 10y wagon from Lake Provi-
dence. Anyway, biscuits were biscuits,

Gas good as mother baked" and flour was
so scarce at one time that the Caddo Gazette
printing Office could not buy, borrow or beg
enough to make paste, necessary in mail

use rice as substitute.

Whereupon, the following resolution was
offered by Mr. Herndon and unanimously
adopted:
Be it Resolved, That we most earnestly
protest against the closing of Coushatta
Bayou at or near its departure from the
south bank Of Loggy Bayou for the follow
ing reasons:
Drainage OF all the lands in Bossier Par
ish between the levee on Red River and the
hills on the east has to pass out TO Red
River through said bayou and its connect
ing outlets.
AS now constituted, the rainwater and
water from Red Chute Bayou for some rea-
son backs up and overflowsa great portion
of the lands between the levee and the hills
on the east and it is imperative that some
relief be given and to further retard the
flow of the water ever so little will further
tend to increase the overflow.
We, therefore, protest against the clos
ing of said bayou until such time as gen.
eral survey of the locus IN quo can be made
and some relief be granted the lands from
overflow in Bossier Parish, from which the
funds of the Bossier Levee District derives
its levee funds.
The secretary was directed to send copy
| State Engineers.
On motion, duly made and seconded,
the president was requested to attend said
hearing, with two members of the Roard,
to be appointed by him, to protest against
the closing of Coushatta Bayou. The
president appointed Messrs. Raines and
Hodges as committee to attend said hear
ing. The secretary and president we're
| to 6po w on thn qu0i.
tor for an amount sufficient to cover the
expenses Of Messrs. Carlton, Raines and
Hodges in attending said hearing.
Mr.. Carlton stated to the Board that he
heard considerable complaint lately of
planters in the river bottoms permitting
their hogs to run on the levee. On motion,
Mr.. Carlton. was requested to notify the
public through notice published in the
Bossier Banner that all pasturing of hogs
on the levee must be stopped at once: and
that if those parties who were permitting
their hogs to pasture on the levee do not
comply and take them off at once, they
will be reported to the next Grand Jury
that convenes in Bossier Parish.
The president stated that he would, be-
fore the next meeting, arrange plan for
the inspection of the levees, whereby each
member Of the Board be assigned the care
and inspection of approximately one
seventh of the total of some fifty six miles
of levee within the district; that it was his
present idea that the first eight miles should
be under the inspection and care of Mr..
Stinson; the next, under his own super
vision; the third, under the care and in
spection of Mr.. Herndon; the fourth under
the inspection of Mr.. Curtis; the fifth, I'M
der the inspection of Mr.. Mercer; the sixth,
under the inspection of Mr.. Hodges; and
the seventh, and lower portion of the dis
trict, to be under the inspection of Mr..
Raines.
There being no further business, the
Board adjourned subject to call.
H. N. CARLTON, President.

Capital and the South.
From Golfers Weekly

From Golfers Weekly
Financial noses are keen. Just now they
are turned toward the South. With pop
ulation of 100000, the South now has
invested in business about S84, O0O, 900 more
than the whole United States could show
in 1880; the value of the South's crops
now exceeds the value of the crops of the
whole country AS late as 1890; and its coal
products last year amounted to two and a
half times the coal output of the United
States in 1890. Go almost anywhere in the
South and you feel elf-confidence which
is based upon figures. "They talk big
down there" said an Investigator, "but
they tell the truth" He showed some fig
ures which did indeed talk big. In the six
months ending May first, wholly new water
power projects, with total capitalization
of more than $500, 100000, have been
organized. They will ultimately develop
1,5OO,OO power. Their financing is looked
after by bankers in London, Toronto,
Montreal, New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg, and the cities of the South.
A recent offering in London of SIC, 900, 900
of bonds of an Alabama power company
was largely oversubscribed. Virginia,
West Virginia, Georgia and Alabama are
the great water power States-there, man
ufacturing enterprises must grow to justify
the investments which are being made. Il
is in the South that the greatest crop in
creases are coming, that diversified farm
ing is winning converts most rapily, and
the situation is freest from the parasites
who fatten on boom products.

A recent report of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue showed that in the fiscal
year just closed the consumption of whisky
and rum was 1873, 377 1853 gallons, and of
beer 81, 1O8, 1873 barrels. There was fall
ing off of 1,106, 900 barrels of beer. 1t is
also stated that there is now stored in the
warehouses of Kentucky 158 200, 900 gall
Ions OF whisky and rum, and in the whole
country 1858, 786,O70 gallons-enough to
last two years, at the present rate of con-
sumption. But last year 188,OO0,00O gall
Ions were produced. Our capacity for VIC
ious indulgence shows that poverty, crime
and the high cost Of living are not so mys-
terious problems after all.

The social and economic clouds in the
British sky are made more threatening by
the development of serious crop outlook.
Ever since June the vagaries of the weather
have produced conditions increasingly UNI
favorable to the crops. Daily transforms
occur over wide areas, and the farmers are
compelled to sit by helplessly, and see their
hopes of profitable harvest steadily van
ishing.
