the election, for what purpose we are
unable to say, unless to consume the
remainder of the eighteen cases of beer
said to have been imported for this
election, and possibly to further organ
ize for future primaries. The club does
not seem to be interested in general
elections where there is no opposition.
Now, if this sort of thing is to con-
tinue. the sober, thoughtful people of
the parish will be forced to organize in
self defense, and this will eventually
result in fractional politics as we had it
in 1892 and 1896, and as it is now in
Winn and many other parishes.
There are many good people in Col
fax who do not approve of this kind of
thing, and who also know that ! have
worked very hard ever since ! have
been back in the parish to allay preju-
dice against the town by the country
and against the bottoms. and to put
down factions and party strife. and we
were rejoicing in an era of peace and
good feeling throughout the parish,
and often referred to it in my speech
es.
Now it is because of fear of destroy
ing this splendid condition, which can
not be brought about in day, that |
refer to these unpleasant situations.
and beg those patriotic citizens who
can see such danger to assist in avoid
ing it.
And there are none more patriotic,
brood guaged and progressive than
Capt. Teal, who is our nominee for del
egate, and none will discourage such
methods more earnestly if he sees them
as / do.
Our saw mills and planters should
not feel that il is necessary to line up
in elections for or against any man or
set of men. and there should be no
'.beer," or any other kind of secret
political clubs in this parish to befud-
die mems minds with cheap wine, beer
and other intoxicants.
Come along and defend it, boys, if
there's any good in it. and. if not, let's
drop it and be good.
Yours for Grant Parish.

1t seems that this club was organized
two years ago ard supported Judge
Andrews in the sec. md primary against
Judge Hunter, assisting materially in
Hunters defeat, but most of us consid-
cred it joke, or at most temporary
affair. had no idea that it was still
active in this last primary and would
take such q decisive part in Capt.
Teals election. 1t now boasts OF a
membership of one hundred and fifty,
and while several of its n embers have
quit it in disgust, others say its pur
pose is to secure two hundred and nifty
more members and control the politics
of the parish. Many good but thought
less citizens, and even sonic poorly ad-
vised candida ties have joined. l have
no reference here to Capt Teal. So
far as ! knc w'he had nothing to do with

Washington. Aug. 10. Three billion
bushels of corn one and half billion
bushels of oats, and a billion bushels of
wheat are in prospect for this years
American harvest. Record crops of
rye, wheat and sweet potatoes, tobacco,
rice and hay are also predicted. Farm
ers planted $40, SAG. 900 acres or 10. 900, :
600 acres more than last year, to their

The wheat crop, the greatest ever
in any country, will be worth more
than 1000, 600, 900 while the corn
crops value may reach 81, 500. 600, 600.
Estimates of the principal crops, an
nounced today by the department of
agriculture. based on conditions of
August l, show that all crops will be
greater than last year. Wheat and
corn both showed improvement over
July conditions. though excessive rains
and cold weather in the central states
interfered in those states, hut in other
sections the improvement offset this.
Corn prospects increased almost 10O,-

having been Illinois. 80, 000, 900 bushels;
Kansas "a. 900, 600; Oklahoma 26. 600, 600;

Too Much silage Fatal.

1t required an autopsy to learn the
cause for the dying of eight mules,

Quoted the examination. The owner
had fed corn silage for several months
and the mules, to the eye looked in fine
condition, but recently some of them
became afflicted with an unknown mall
ady. They would get down and be un-
able to get up and then only when
prodded and were visiable in great
pain. The only external indication of
any sickness was the heavy throbbing
of the arteries in the throat which in
dicated the trouble was in the heart.
Several expert veterinarians were
called and a postmortem examination
made. Vital organs were found to be
one and half times as large as normal,
including the heart, spleen, liver and
kidneys. The examination show I'd
that the stock had been overfed on corn
silage and alfalfa, having be en- on this
ration several months.

Mr.. Brian Comments ON the Recent
Election.

Editor Coyar Chronicle:
As intimated in my congratulations
to Capt. Teal as the nominee of the
Democratic party in the late primary
in this parish, now desire to call the
attention of the people of Grant to
some political factors entering into that
primary.
To begin with. Capt. Teal and went
on the stump and told the people before
each other and in the most friendly
way all we had to say about each other
and for ourselves, differing solely on
the issues involved, and finishing as
the friends that we have always been.
But, when the vote was counted.
saw that the saw mills and river plant
ers. with but very few exceptions, had
lined up solidly for the Captain and
against myself. ! have no complaint
to make of this. Capt. Teal is one of
the largest planters and probably the
largest owner of saw mill stock in the
parish. So. If these large interests
have any special rights to conserve or
favors to ask for in constitution, they
were within their rights in sending one
of their number to the convention.
But, had it been known that these in
terests would thus line up solidly and
vote their full strength for one of their
number, then the small farmer, pro-
fessional and middlemen might have
turned out solidly and made the result
different.
This kind of an alignment, however.
when thoroughly understood, will in
variahly give the saw mills and plant
ers the worst end of it, as they are
hopelessly in the minority in this par
ish, as in all the hill parishes. For
proof of this. see the result of this same
primary in VIM parish and in former
campaigns. But this is not healthy pol
itics and regret to see it begin.
The most serious factor in the result
of this primary. however, was the
operation of secret political organize
ton at Colfax. the officers, name and
membership of which are not definitely
known. 1t was humorously called the

The war secretary today issued instruc-
