1t was a hard and determined
fight the entire day, and the re
suit, particularly as to the
Judgeship, was at all times in
doubt. In fact, in the late
hours of the evening it was
thought Judge Kerr would be
defeated; and when the count of
the votes was announced, it was
unoficially announced that Judge
Simon had won by one vote ma
jority. and Judge Kerr actually
extended his congratulations to
his opponent. The official count.
however, showed that Judge
Kerr had been returned by four
votes.
There are two voting precincts

The tabulated vote, as far as
obtainable, is as follows:

RICO GROW
ERS' ASSOCIATION
GAINING in FAVOR

Beaumont, Texas. Feb. "a.
Unsettled weather during the
week has hindered ploWing on
low lying lands. but better
drained lands are being put into
shape for planting, and a good
percentage Of rice lands has been
plowed. Planting will be un-
usually late, even with the best
possible weather from now on.
Forecasters predict that the
Texas acreage will not be in
creased, and many of them say
it will be slightly decreased. In
Southwest Louisiana there are
indications that at least a full
acreage will be put in. It is ex-
peeted that the river acreage will
be at least cut in half.
The clean rice market holds
very strong, with a good pros
Ipect that there will be a shortage
of supply before the new crop
arrives. The distribution this
month is heavy, and will prob
ably equal any previous February
distribution.
In Southwest Louisiana there
has been a heavy sale of mules
and hofses this spring, indicat-
ing larger preparation for plant
ing. Already thresher houses
have doae a good business in
threshing machines for this year,
and sales Of seeders have been
heavy.
The Southern Rice Growers
association is gaining IN favor
among farmers of the rice belt.
Membership IS steadily increas-
ing. and it IS now certain that
the strength Of the association
viii be much greater than last
year.

It's no idle praise I sing,
No loye-song for the harp;
This is no aimless ballading,

Of those dark days long past;

For fear it is the last!
For its the war time negro old,
No Foussaint L'Ouverture,
That is the hero of his race.
His name none can abjure.

Editor sc. Landry Clarion,
Opelousas, La.
Permit me to convey, through
thesseolumns of your paper, to
my many friends throughout the
parish, my heartfelt gratitude
for the loyal support they gave
me and the principle for which I
stand; namely, T h 9 Political
independence of the Electorate
of this parish.
From a purely personal stand
point, it matters not that I was
defeated, and, for that reason, 4
have nothing but the best Of
feelings IN my heart for those
who voted against me out of a
firm conviction that those for
whom they voted are as well, or
better, qualified than I am to
work for the greater glory of
Louisiana. These men I honor.
Towards those who do not en-
ter into the qualifications Of cam
didates, but who act under the
lash of the whip; who do not
vote, but who register the will of
their Boss or Little Tin God;
who do not think, but who voice
the sentiments and thoughts of
those who keep them in Line
by means of cheap f1attery fed
to their v gracious vanity,
towards these, / say, I feel the
utmost pity. To them / extend
my sympathy.
Very truly yours,

The Regulars elected Major A.
ID. Stewart. He had been acon-
sistent and open supporter of the
Regular faction, both State and
parochiaI.
Mr.. A. H. Garland, the other
member of the Legislature cleo.
ted Tuesday, was a supporter of
the candidacy Of Hon. John {.
Michel, but in the second run
was endorsed by the League
people.
Mr.. Morton H. Thompson, a
defeated candidate, was g gen.
uine League supporter.
Prof. w. ]. Boudreau was an
AsWell adherent.
The lineup e e s d a v was
greatly Thompson and Garland
By the League, and Stewart by
the Regulars.
Mr.. Boudreau made an inde-
pendent fight, with no organized
support from either side. His
vote under the circumstances is
indeed fiattering.
So the recapitulation of st.

Lower House of the General
Assembly is:
Z. Austin Fontenot elected in
the first primary, AsWell sup
porter, but strong supporter Of
Gov. Sanders and most of the
Regular ticket in the last elec-

A. D. Stewart, out-and-out,

Gaynor Considered.

Atlanta, June 14.-Atlantians are
wondering whether the recent visit
of Fire Commissioner Joe Johnson to
his old home had anything to do with
Mayor Gaynor's recent frank state
.onL that ne would like very much to
be nominated for president of the Uni
ted States if the democratic party
deemed him a suitable candidate.
So far as can be learned Mr.. John
son talked no politics while he was
here, but his visit afforded him a
splendid opportunity to sound south
ern sentiment on the subject. Mayor
Gaynor's name is naturally popular
in Georgia, and there are many per-
sons here who would like to see him
brought forward as the dark horse in
case of a deadlock in the Baltimore
convention.
