Weather and Crops.

Picayune Jan. 10: The past week has
witnessed the seNcreSt weather OF
thc season throughout the cotton
belt. Zero Temperatures has been cX-
pcrienccd in north Texas and in1
many other parts of the South, and
ice and snow have extended practi-
cally to the gulf coast. Such wealth
er. preceded by rain. has great in
terfered with the marketing of the
crop, although the aggregate move
mcnt has been kept large by the
good demand for spot cotton which
has been experienced. To what cX-
tent the weather has intcrfered with
ginning will only be known when
the next census ginners report is is
sued, but that the movement from
plantations to market has been in
terferd with owing the impass-
able condition of country roads is
certain.
While marketing operations have
been interfered with, it is also cer-
tain that the prospects for the next
season have been improved by the
heavy rainfall and even by the cold
weather. 4 season has been put in
the ground to an extent that has not
been experienced in years. In Texas
and Oklahoma the rainfall has been
greater than has been the case in a
long time, and this will lhelp not
only cotton, but grain crops as well.
If the weather should now improve
and permit the commencement of
winter plowing and the preparation
of the fields the coming spring will
present more favorable conditions
than have been experienced in years.

The RaSSp> ReUardleS>,

There is no limit to the Bosses of
New Orleans. One of these chosen
commissioner, whose name we can
not now recall, was convicted OF
fraud at election, convicted and
served term in Jail. This same fel-
low was drawn as & commissioner OF
election to represent Michel at the
primary on January %. This is in
Il sense defiance of dccency. No
man who has been convicted Of clcc-
ZION fraud should be permitted to
exercise the all-important duty of a
commissioner of election.

HALLS PROGRESS
Is Not Only Encouraging but Flat
tering and Most Favorable to His
Nomination.

\ retrospect Of tn" polltlcal cam
paien which is nearing It's end gives
the most substantial Of encourage
mcnt to Judge L. r. Hall and hlS
friends. Judge Hall and his asS"-
riatrS have covered every section OF
the State. and wherever they have
been. they have been received with
enthusiasm. In every section OF the
State where Judge Hall has address,
ed the people he has impressed most
favOrably. Beyond a doubt, with no
intent at diScrediting his opponents,
his presence heSpcakS the man that
he is. and he inspires confidence.
Judge Hall is the representative OF
the people who are rlamOrin@ for a
change in the system Of government
which has been centralized i'll the
hands of the few who have made
politics a species of merchandising,
the letting of public Ot1ic" t" the
chosen of their combination.
w IL lillt IJt'dSlIlI- WI tAbE-' l tl' i'll,
it is safe to say that Judge Hall will
secure a splendid majority i'll North
Louisiana, and with the vote which
will come to him from South Louis
lana on January % would seem So
cure. and should he, as il is @"n"ral-
ly believed will. hold his own in
New Orleans.
However. should there be- a see
ond primary. the contestants will
b" Hall and Michel. when Halls
nomination will become certainty
To secure the nomination Michel
will have to carry New Orleans by
a majority which is beyond his
reach, and his failure at the first
primary will assure his defeat.
However. it is the duty Of every
friend Of Judge Hall to go to Tho
polls on Tuesday next and vote foI
him.

Gas ENOlOSiOn.

An explosion Of gas occurred sun
dav forenoon in the front Of the Bell
Shoe Store on Texas street. 1t re-
suited from All accumulation OF gas
under the first floor at the front o.
the building. The show windows
were shattered into fragments. Al
the time several of the firm were IN
the store. Fortunately no one was
injured.
This is the second explosion in
the same block within a few days
from the same cause. 1t Is clearly
the duty of the city authorities to
take such action as may be neces-
sary to prevent the repetition of
such explosions.

The Quarantine Situation.

The quarantine situation as ap-
piled to Dallas, Waco and other
points in Texas where meningitis
prevails, is unchanged. Meetings of
the City Council and meetings of cit
izens in the Chamber of Commerce
have been held, at which were re-
peated in substance what has been
said and done at Fridays meetings.
At the meeting of the Council held
yesterday afternoon were present
DR.. Oscar Bowling, president of the
State Board of Health, and DR.. P. E.
Archinard, professor of bacteriol-
ogy at Tulane University, and Dr..
Mayer Newhouser, who is here In
behalf of the State Board of Health.
Also DIR. a. S. Reisor, f. II. Vorden-
baumen and Michael Bernstein, the
only three members of the City
Board of Health, and DR.. Lloyd.
The substance Of DR.. Bowling 5
report was that he had visited Dali
las Sunday and made thorough
canvass of the situation there and
that he did not see any reason for
the people of this city to become
alarmed at the conditions in that
city as sent out by the newspaper
reports, and that he did not consider
eerebro-spinal meningitis as being
contagious.
The city authorities are doing al
| that is possible in enforcing the
quarantine and in providing tht
means for those who may be de-
tanned.
