CANE PLANTED AT ANGOLA.

The board of control will this year
plant 1900 acres in cane, the floods
having destroyed the former planl-
ings. The cane will be secured from
Monticello and Oakley plantations of
the Stale, on the Yazoo and Missis-
sippi Valley Road, south of Baton
Rouge.
1t will take twenty cars day,
hauling for thirty days, to transport
enough cane for the planting of An
COLA. Colonel C. Harrison Parker,
president of the board of control, es-
Inmates that the freight alone to
move this cane to replant Angola
will amount to over $1,000. An army
of labor will be necessary at the two
places, Monticello and Oakley, to cut
and place the cane on the cars, and
d big force will be necessary to
plant the cane at Angola upon its ar
rival there. The actual cost of re-
planting the cane crop of Angola will
amount to 100000, it is estimated.

CLAIBORNE AN INDUSTRIOUS
LEGISLATOR.
Shreveport Journal:

Shreveport Journal:
More than one of the important
measures passed by the last session
OF the general assembly bears the
name of Ferd Claiborne and he help
ed to shape up many others that do
not bear his name on the title page.
The poor litigants BILL" we remem-
Der, was put through by Claiborne,
and if We are not mistaken he took
a leading part in shaping up the fis-
cal agency Legislation which at one
time threatened to disrupt the forces
of the administration in the general
assembly. Throughout the regular
session Claiborne worked enthusiast
tically for the reforms demanded by
the Good Government League, and
he deserves the kindliest feelings
and consideration from the Democrats
of the Sixth Congressional District.

WORK is THE SECRET.

We know of case where three
different people have had charge of
a farm and where each one made
a failure, and the farm had been
abandoned as being worthless. A
man from the north came along and
the owner made him a ridiculously
low proposition and he purchased it,
being warned all the time by the
owner that it had been abandoned
and that he could not make expen-
ses on it. The gen leman took the
chance, however, and went on his
property in March. He went over
his land and plowed it much deeper
than it had ever been before and
painted it in corn. This gentleman
will harvest enough corn to pay for
his years work; you understand me
to say his years WORK. This is
the trouble with most of our southern
farmers-they do not work enough.

PRAISES ST. FRANCiSvILLE HIGH
SCHOOL.

State Institute Condutor C. A. Ives
writes kindly of the high school at
st. Francisville, as follows:
Il spent one day that week with
Supt. Hendon and his teachers Of
West Felciana. There is not very
large number of teachers at work in
this parish, but enough to do the
work, as the number of white chill
dren is small Superintendent Hen
don has a group of very enthusiast
tic teachers, with lively profession
al spirit. It would interest you TO
know that according to Superintend-
ent every white child of age in that
parish was in school last session.
That is a record hard to beat, and
is probably not duplicated anywhere
IN this state or elsewhere.
AT the high school in st. Francis
vile provision is made for the out
door exercises of little girls in a way
that Is not often seen. In a small
inclosed yard for the girls there are
horizontal bars of different heights.
This, believe, is an idea of Dr.
Brooks, a very enthusiastic school
board member. Where it can be pro.
vided, it would seem to be good
way to furnish little girls means
CT developing physical vigor. The de-
mand for muscular exercise is as nor
NAL and as necessary for girls as for
boys"

STRONG FOR CLAIBORNE.
lberyille Champion:

lberyille Champion:
The voters of the First ward of
this parish have organized a Clai-
borne club, composed of 81 members,
among them being some of themost
prominent voters in the ward, who
are sufficiently strong in numbers to
carry that ward for Claiborne, if they
should stick and vote together, which
it is likely they may do. Still there
is always the danger of some people
changing their minds, for various rea.
sons, and others being persuaded to
DC so. Whether or not this will hap
pen in the present instance remain to
be seen. If Claiborne can make any
thing like the same showing lin other
wards, he should be enabled to carry
the parish easily.

MAKES IT WORK BOTH WAYS.

DUnaldsOnVllle Chief:
Dear Old Tom Holland of the st.
Helena Echo, whom we love as fond
ly as if he were really our grand
father instead of our newspaper I'M
Gle, beats the Jews and keeps close
up to the Gentiles in figuring things
OUT his way before an election comes
along a4pu AuoGks his calculations
galley-West. Uncle Toms forte is
tuturities, and he fixes EN- up al
ways so as to land his candidates,
even if it is necessary to achieve
the desired result in some instances
by exactly the opposite line of rea-
sOning that is adopted to bring it
about in others.
Frinstance, he argufies that the
election of Mr. Morgan to congress
from the sixth district is like lin
kettle tied to dogs tail-"bound to
0ccur'-becauSe, with his lead Of
l ,236 in the first primary we felt
that there was no power on earth
that could defeat him"
When it comes to the contest for
the supreme judgeship from the
fourth district, however, Uncle Tom
is supremely obliVious of the lead Of
4,514 votes that Judge ONieM has
over Judge Reid, and the Echo en-
Enthusiastically proclaims it's support
of the Tangipahoa candidate and in
ferentially backs up the belief ex-
pressed by himself and his friends
that he will win out"
We are not quareling with Uncle
Toms Echo for making it's rule work
both ways so as to boost it's friends
and bump their opponents "a-comin'
and a-gWine." On the contrary, we
admire the spirit of loyalty to home
folks and near neighbors that prompts
the attitude of our esteemed contem-
porary and wouldn't have it do a bit
different. But we just wish to re-
mind Uncle Tom that Ferd Clai-
borne's friends believe he stands eV-
en- better chance of winning in
the second congressional primary
than Judge Reid does of heading his
competitor in the run-off for the su-
preme judgeship. And it stands to
reason that if there be some earth
ly power that will enable the Tangi-
pahoa candidate to circumvent an op-
position plurality of 4,514, it is clear
ly within the compass of mundane
possibilities that the Pointe Coupee
candidate should develop the strength
to smash st. Tammanyite's little
lead Of 1926 into smithereens. This
isn't prophecy, mind you, but only
an analogical argument, and when it
comes to nannyology, We believe
we've got Tom Hollands goat.

Vote for Claiborne on October 9th

How do you 90 from your home to
your work, or from the railroad sta.
ton to your work? Is it always the
same route? Probably. If it Is, you
are growing old not perhaps in
years, but in habits. To do the nee
essary daily duties always in The
same way is not wise. 1t tends to
make monotonous what might be va
ried. Those who keep longest their
zest in life and their mental supple
ness are those who have learned the
value of the little daily accretions of
refreshment.
