Newton (Miss.) Record: If the Record
published all the "dope' sent out by the
various departments of the government,
the various colleges, health boards, tuber-
culosis committees, civil service districts
and goodness knows what else, it would
have to quit publishing a newspaper. If
people who are in charge Of these different
bureaus of information, etc., would learn
how to ''boil'' their stuff down and tell what
they have to say in fewer words they would
find that good deal more of would be used
1t is remarkable that the newspapers are
expected to dish out so much information
to the public without any compensation
whatever being offered just as though space
was worth nothing and printers worked Free

Lamentations.

Till the Lord look down, and behold from

1t is good for man that he bear the yoke
in his youth.-3, 81.
To subvert man in his cause, the Lord
approveth not.-3, SO.

All ourenemies have opened their mouths
against US. Fear and snare is come upon

The joy of our heart is ceased; our

we have sinned! For this our heart is
faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
Because of the mountain of Zion, which is
desolate, the foxes walk upon it.-5, 1918.

FROM OVER OUR GREAT STATE.

Six residences were burned Tuesday at
Lafayette.
Alexandria lost thirty-five small build
ings by fire last Tuesday.
White Castle, Iberville Parish, is to have
an up-to- requirement electric light and
water works system.
Fire originating from motion picture

New Orleans bank clearings for Novem-
Der were S97 1924, 7O5, an increase over the
same month last year of 28,262,454.
The 1915 cotton crop for Louisiana is es-
timated at 1856 900 bales, exclusive of lint
ers, with "a per cent of the crop ginned. In
comparison with the 1914 figures of 422, 900
bales the report shows reduction of about
20 per cent. The acreage reduction is es-
timated at Is per cent. No top crop was
made on account of the boil weevil. There
remains very little unpicked cotton in the
fields as labor has been plentiful.

Louisiana Planter, Nov. Embarrassing
evidence of the lack of cane, lack of juice
and consequent lack of sugar is coming in
daily from the Louisiana sugar district.
The total output of the present season is
almost sure to be the least in twenty nine
years, or since the notable short crop year
of 1861 when the output was only about
$4,000 long tons of sugar. Various causes
combined will reduce the production-the
drought that prevailed during nearly the
whole growing season, the destruction
caused by the hurricane of September Goth
and the reservation of an extra large
amount of cane for seed being the principal
ones. Some factories have already finished
grinding and several more will finish before
our next issue. The middle of December
will see the campain practically over.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Troy (Ala.) Messenger: A good many
people fail because they put off until to-
morrow what another fellow does to-day.
Edgefield Advertiser: Having declared
that it is his purpose to "clear the State of
nor Spry of Utah has proven himself true
to name.
Edgefield Is. c. Advertiser: The ag-
ricultural fairs over the State have been
giving place of honor to education. This
augurs we'll. Without an intelligent citi-
zenship agriculture will never develop to
its fullest possibility.
Louisville Courier journal: "For Gods
sake go back to your ship" said an officer
in perfect English. "We are not murder
ers.' ''We are not Germans the Turk
might have said by way of saying the same
thing in other words.
Baltimore Sun: If American manufac-
turers of munitions of war have contributed
to human Indebtedness by the making and
sale of arms, to what degree of blood
outlines must the Krupps confess, who
have supplied the whole world with arms
for a generetion and but for whose deadly
efficiency Germany would never have
broken the peace of Europe?
Says correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun: The timely letter on German antago-
nism to everything American appeals to
every loyal son. His conviction about the
exclusion hereafter of German immigrants
is shared by very large part of the people.
They should be denied the privilege of this
country as much as the Chinese, who are
inoffensve, attending strictly to their own
affairs and never seek political office.
Macon (Georgia) News: Four Eastern
States-New Jersey, Massachusetts, New
York and Pennsylvania-have now voted
on equal suffrage, and all four have de-
clared that women shall not wear political
breaches. The result in these States could
not have been more emphatic than if the
elections had been held in the South. A
staggering blow has been given the suffer-
age cause, such as will influence sentiment
against the suffrage propaganda in other
States where campaigns are pending.

A Statement

To tie Citizens Of Bossisr Parish:
[ take this method of telling you what I
will do by you if | am elected Sheriff.
1st. | will be strictly impartial-at all
times fair by all, friend or foe.
I'd. | will dispatch with promptness all
clerical duties of the office and in such manner
as will meet the approval of every fair and
reasonable man.
Sd. | will arrest every man against whom
warrant is issued, or chase him to unknown
parts.
4th. If | am elected am going to give
to the public schools of Bossier Parish $1,000
each year, as long as [ am Sheriff and en-
ployed on the same basis as is the present
Sheriff.
I think this last is legitimate proposal,
as it has ever been one Of my greatest pleas
ures to help young men and young ladies to
succeed in life. Furthermore, | feel that this
would be spending money to elevate our chill
dren to a higher plane of morals, and possibly
be the means of reducing crime throughout
our country. Now, [ trust no one will place
a wrong construction on this offer, for there
are quite number of boys and girls and men
in this parish who know | have done all /
could along these lines during past years.
Now, | have told you what | would do.
and if l get a chance l will show you. SO |
want to ask you to give me the chance by
voting for me on the 10Th of January, 1916,
and | will do as [ have promised.
Thanking you in advance for your kind
consideration, | am, Respectfully,
