FROM OUR STATE EXCHANGES.

New Orleans States: The negro has
nothing to gain and everything to lose who
listens to the mouthings of the Trotters in
favor of political and social equality. He
has everything to gain and nothing to lose
if he follows the counsel of those who are
not trying to make him the packhorse of
their political ambitions.
Monroe News-Star: We favor reducing
the cotton acreage at least fifty per cent,
if this can be done systematically over the
entire cotton belt. This, coupled with di-
versifcation and intensive methods on the
farm, will, we believe, solve the problem
to the entire satisfaction and financial ben
eft of the farmers.
Lake Providence Banner Democrat:
Not a half dozen years ago there was not
an acre Of ground planted in oats in East
Carroll, but to-day there is fully ten thou
sand acres planted in this crop. The time
is not far distant when planters of East
Carroll will not have to send away for any
kind of forage for their stock. Now that
this is being done, certainly more atteu-.
ton will be given to raising stock of all
kinds.
New Orleans Times Picayune: The
| location of the cattle demonstration in
Iberia has led that and other neighboring
parishes to establish dipping watts and to
rec uire that all cattle be subjected to the
treatment that will free them from the
Texas tick, which has caused so much
trouble and has so materially lessened the
value Of Southern stock. Scarcely week
passes that does not report several parishes
voting to get rid of the ticks, and appro-
priating money for a vigorous campaign
against the pest.
Mer Rouge Democrat: Present condi-
tons should be an enduring lesson to the
southern farmer that if he wishes to be
independent, it is imperative that he raise
all of his living at home. The southern
farmer is made to realize now as he never
did before, what he has missed by not
raising his own living at home and making
cotton his surplus money crop. Whenever
our farmers adopt this practice they will
cease to be worried by panics or European
wars. They can put their cotton in the
shed and wait till the price SUITS,
Louisiana Planter, 18th: The grinding
season has progressed in a very satisfac-
tory manner throughout the Louisiana
sugar district during the past week and
rapid inroads have been made on the cane
fields which are reported generally as
yielding considerably less tonnage of cane
to the acre than was anticipated. A re-
duction of crop estimates because of this
is being made by nearly all of our planters.
The juice is working splendidly and better
results in this respect are being secured
than is usually the case. The long spell of
dry weather was broken at the end of the
week by moderate rainfall, this being
generally welcome as having tendency to
prevent dry in the fall plant and seed cane.
Many small farmers are through with the
delivery of their crops, although we are
scarcely at the middle of November.

Widows, Cans.

The widows cap Is survival Of an
old Roman custom Widows were
obliged to wear their weeds for ten
months. and the bereaved woman
shaved her head as token of mourn
ing. Naturally the widow could not

cessity for its existence has long passed

Greek Wind vancs,

The Greeks as far back as the fifth
century B. c. were the first to make
regular meteorological observations.

they used wind vanes. and in the first

We Do Il on the Fourth.

1t Is curious that the Fourth of July
has become the American day OF cele-
bration. since it was on July 2 that
congress passed the really important
motion for Independence. and the
Fourth only saw the adoption OF the
Declaration. John Adams wrote to his
wife: "The I'd day Of July, l776. will
be the most memorable epoch in the
history of America. | am apt to be-
lieve that it will be celebrated by sue

When an idea is taken into the mind of an
individual it influences his life and char
acter. We believe what we love. If we
know and love what is true and pure and
beautiful, we become true and pure and
beautiful. That is true of an individual; it
is true Of people, An idea that is strong
and fresh, which gets into the heart of q
people naturally and necessarily evolves a

Salt In tho Coffin.

In certain localities in the old world
they put salt In the coffin before 1t Is
lowered into the grave. This Is the
surviyai OF an ancient custom which
was once universal The custom grew
out OF the idea that Satan hates salt
because II is the symbol OF incorrup-
ton and Immortality.

A Narrow Escape.

school had made proud boast that
he hadn't drunk glass of water in
20 years. One day as he was riding
to Nashville on the old L. & N. the
train was wrecked while crossing a
bridge and plunged into the river.
They pulled the colonel out with a
boathook, and when they got him
on shore one of his friends rushed
up, crying: Colonel! Are you hurt?"
Not" he snorted. Never swal.
