should demand that ginners
weigh their cotton, if they are
refused they should go another
place.
4. Cotton buyers are always
eagerly looking for high grade
cotton SO it is to the advantage
of farmers to pick their cotton
carefully, seeing too that it is
ginned and weighed correctly.
5. 1t is the duty of the ginner
to give the farmers their cotton
in good shape; if a gin is not
working right it costs farmers
more money to patronize this
gin. If something goes wrong
with the gin it should be righted
Immediately so that farmers will
not suffer.
Those interested in this move
assure the public that if these
suggestions are followed that
both the cotton and farmer will
be benefited by them.
It has been suggested that ex-
pereinced farmers give their
opinion of the matter through
the columns Of the Clarion. we
will be more than glad to publish
anything. which may stimulate
more interest among the farmers
and by which they may derive
better prices for their products.

RAINS DO LITTLE
DAMAGE TO CROPS
st. Landry Will Have Bump
er Crop If Daily Rains
Cease.

If the daily rains, which has
been the fear and terror of far
mers in this parish for a week.
could only cease for the present
lSt. Landry will record a bumper
crop this fall. Cotton in different
sections is already opening and
the time for picking is at hand.
Had this parish not been vis-
| tied by daily down-pours since
the latter part of last week there
would have been several bales of
cotton ginned by this time. The
farmers, however, are holding
out with optimism, praying that
a repetition Of lastyear' $ dreadful
rainy harvesting season will not
be their lot again this season.
While the corn crop is not
what most thought it would be
in the beginning it is reported
that the yield will far surpass
that of last year. Indications
earlier in the summer were ex-
cellent, but considering the adj
verse weather experienced the
crop will be better than it has
been for any number of years.
The farmers are preparing to
harvest their rice, only the daily
rains preventing many from cut
ting before this time.
1t is expected that by the end
of this month nearly all the rice
will have been harvested,
The crop is fully as good as it
was last year, but it falls short
of thousands of acres, on account
Of the Union Irrigation Company
going into the hands Of receivers
and being unable to plant, dur
ing the spring.
st. Landry should roll up rec
ord of nearly tWenty-tnousand
bales this year. if the weather
conditions permit, and it is to be
hoped that the farmers will have
better luck with old Jupiter Plu-
vuis than they did last fall, when
torrential rains were the fad
here during harvesting time.

HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
in AUTO ACCIDENT
Bordelon's Machine Plunges
Into Crevasse When
Ditch Caves In.

Messrs. Martin Bordelon and
Henry Carson, en- route from
Vile Platte to Opelousas Tuesday
night had a narrow escape,
which is considered nothing
short of miraculous, when the
automobile plunged into a ten
foot crevasse after the ditch had
slightly caved in.
The two young men were go
ing at a very slow speed, which
most people claim saved their
lives, when they arrived at a
gulley about four miles from
this city, on the Washington
road. AS they were passing the
gulley, which had as outlets two
24-inch culverts, the dirt under
the automobile caved in, causing
Mr.. Bordelon who was driving
to lose control of the machine,
which plunged into the crevasse,
onI, a couple of feet to the side,
ait least ten feet. The occupants
were very much Jared, both get
ting their legs scratched up, but
otherwise escaped none the
worse for their experience.
It took practically all day We'd
nesday to pull the automobile
out of the deep crevasse, which
was only about five feet Wide;sev-
eral men were kept continually
busy with ropes, chains and tenn
porary derricks. When the ma
chine was once more placed on
the gravel road it was discovered
that it was only injured to the
extent of a smashed wheel, bent
up tenders, a broken lamp and a
dented radiator and few other
minor bruises; the engine how
ever was not injured at all, it
running well after being tested.
Those who saw the accident
laid the blame on the road,
which was recently constructed
BY Contractor Fisher, under the
supervision Of Engineer Rob-
erts. On account Of not having
culverts large enough to carry
off the large volumne of water
it was deemed best to place the
two twenty four-inch culVerts
for the time being, while wait
ing for those intended to be
placed there. Engineer Robert
had ordered the culverts before
the accident occurred.

TO GRAVEL MAIN TO
WASHINGTON ROAD
Mayor to Advertise for Bids
to the Satisfaction Of
the Citizens.

/ The city council has author
lied Mayor Loeb 20 advertise for
graveling of Main street..as far as
the Washington -Opelousas road.
This comes as pleasing news to
the vast majority Of the people
of 0pelousas and Washington.
Since that highway seemed incom
plete with over two blocks left
unpaved, between that road and
Main street. Now the Washing
ton people will be able to come
to 0pelousas during the rainy
season, without as much as wet
ting one spoke.
The only thing which might
prevent the paving of the street
is the fact that the contractors
will have to accept the city's pa
pers, and wait until next Janu-
ary for the money. Since the
city's financial condition is con-
sidered excellent, despite the
fact that there is no ready cash
in the treasury at the present
moment. their is no cause of
fearing that the contractors will
refuse to accept the city's notes.
The subject of connecting
Main street with the Washing
ton road has been paramount in
the minds of all travellers be-
tween st. Landry's most inn
portent towns. Now that the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen
have assured the citizens that
the work will be done their is
cause of great satisfaction.
It is expected that the work
will be begun Immediately after
the contract will have been
awarded, as it is the desire of the
business people to assure good
roads to the farmers, so that
they will not be scared to come
to transact their business in this
city during the winter months.

BURGLAR CAUGHT BY
BEAUMONT POLICE
Negro Who Robbed Cretir
Hotel Wanted in Texas
for Horse Stealing.

Willie Valliere, who robbed
Mr.. Cretin, at the Cretin Hotel,
last week, of his watch. spec
tacles. and a few other things,
after making his successful es-
cape from Opelousas, was
caught by the police of Beau
mont, in the Texas city.
Valliere has had a police rec
ord which extends for a number
of years. He is a native of 0pe-
lousas but left here in 1910, af-
ter Mr.. Tom Miles had made a
charge against him for stealing
a buggy and Mr.. Louis Soileau
had made a charge against him
for stealing syrup. In Beau
mont he was wanted there for
burglary ana horse stealing.
The watch which the negro
had carried away was returned
to Mr.. Cretin. The Beaumont
officials, in fact policemen all
along the Frisco line had been
notified of the stealing and given
a description of the stolen watch
which by the way was very easi-
ly identified from the fact that
the inscription on it was in
French.
After Valliere made his es-
cape from here the local officials
notified the Beaumont police of
the fact that the negro might
make his way to that city, as he
has two sisters residing there

PROGRESSHES WILL
OPPOSE DEMOCRATS
To Have Candidates For
Railroad Commissioner
and Congressman.

= W
The Bull Moose party has an
nounced through state organizer
Armstrong that candidate will
be placed IN the field against the
vistorious Democratic candidates
for congress and railroad commits
sioner in this district.
Hon. Overton Cade, of La
fayette parish, is slated to run
against the Democratic nominee
for railroad commissioner from
the second district, whilst Hon.
John Robira5 Of Jennings will
oppose the Democratic nominee
for representative from the sew
enth district
The Democrats in this section
do not lay any strong belief on
the strength Of the Progressive
party; as for John Robira, it is
a certainty that he will not have
the remotest of a chance to de-
feat the Democratic nominee and
the politicians Of st. Landry can
assure Mr.. Cade that he will not
get handful OF votes in this
parish for railroad commissioner
Outside of the rebellious third
district the Bull Moose have not
the slightest possible chance to
pull the Democratic flag from off
the political flag staff
When Progressiyes or Repub
licans tackle this portion of the
state they will find that they arc
not in it with the Democratic
party, Louisiana's only white
mans party; the voters OF st.
Landry are democratic and demo
cratic they expect to remain.
