LOUISIANA SUGAR NEWS.

Without any final figures in OF
The production of the Louisiana
factories it would appear that the
crop will certainly exceed 275,ON
short tons including the cane
syrup calculated as sugar. The
production of raw sugars in Lou
isiana this past season amounted
to between $1,000 and 10000 bags
rs against a production of these
grades in other years averaging
from 10000 to 100000 tons.
There is less direct consumption
sugar on hand to-day. according
TO one Of the members of the Su-
gar Control Committee for Lou
isiana. than in any past year at
this time, and this same informant
said that the sentiment against
any reduction in the prices Of the
direct consumption grades was al
most unanimous. Only about 10
per cent, he said. of the direct con-
sumption sugar made in this State
in the past season was still on
hand. Dozens of the factories are
cleaned up on all the sugars they
made this year. The syrup and
molasses situation, especially mo-
1asses, in the opinion of this gen.
tleman was decidedly puzzling
and distressing. He confessed
that he could not see how it was
possible for the molasses market
TO- have become so stagnant. He
added that the factories would be
very late on their next crop.
Those who were able to get in a
good. fall plant are not worrying
much, but they are few and at
least three or four weeks of sun
shine must be had at once.
Oaklawn will likely be the last
house to finish this year. Cypre-
mort is finishing its crops this
week and it is said that they will
not leave a stalk of cane in their
fields. Ashland and Southdown
were expected to wind up by this
Saturday at least.
A big factor and plantation man
Thursday said that at this time it
was safe to say that as a general
thing the crop was success and
that it had brought considerable
surplus money to the State. the
cane growers. especially in the
latter part of the season, benefit

IBERIA BOYS HELPED TO
WIN WAR.

| We reproduce below the sub.
joined account Of the battle of the
Second and Thirty-sixth Regi-
ments in the battle of the Cham
payne because in this fight there
were several New Iberia BOYS.
Among the number being Sam
Nicholson, a son Of Mr.. w. J.
Nicholson and John and William
Hippler. sons of Mr.. Charley HIP
piler also Of this City. The
praise given these two divisions
read as follows:
"With the American Forces
North of Rheims. the
most glorious page of American
military history in this war has
just been completed in the Cham
payne battle, in which two divis-
ions Of United States troops-the
Second and p,irty-sixth-have
done their inadequately heralded
part Of forcing back the German
hordes facing the famous city Of
Rheims. =.
The work of the Americans was
more notable because one of the
American Divisions-the Thirty
sixth-entered the terrific battle
at an important point. Although
new to fighting and without ever
having heard shell fire before. the
Division withstood the most bitter
German cOmter-attacks without
finching. The efforts of the two
units were so noteworthy that
they were praised publicly in an
order issued by General Maui, N |
command Of the Twenty-first |
French Army Corps, With which |
the Americans were brigaded.
The General said:
ION Oct. 3. the Second Amer
lean Division, having arrived dur

rwenty-first Army Corps. attacked
the fortified crest of Blanc Mont

despite the desperate resistance

days it made an extended advance

nothing to do VIII the purpose fol
which the meeting last Monday
had been called at which thest
side references to the Penitentiary
had been made. There has beer
no denial that these statements
were made, and the sugar public
is waiting to hear what Fuqua
says in answer to the charges
The controversy has created a
very live interest. The Govern
ment acquisitions for sugar seem
to be at the bottom Of the whole
affair, and Fuqua's inability to
get in on them because he had
put up his sugars in barrels in
stead Of bags, as the Government
had requested. !. Fuqua, it would
appear, had already bought q
large supply of barrels and could
not switch. 1t is declared on his
side that he offered his quota Of
sugar to the committee for the
Government and that it had not
been accepted because it was not
in bags.
The test case instituted by a
member of the Vermilion Ton Cane
Growers Association. by which
the sugar company is sued for the
difference in price which exists
between 96-degree test and yellow
clarifieds as basis of the selling
price per ton of cane, has been in
definitely continued.
Stockholders of the Vermilion
Sugar Company will meet at Alb

corporation, on March 5th, next
to vote upon the LIQUIDATION and
dissolving of that big sugar CON-
pany. The removal of the factory
is considered to be a very probable
eventuality. This plant is one Of
the most modern and largest fac
tories operating on the central
plan in the State. 1t and the 9TH

over the state are so enthusiastic
about the campaign that from every
quarter responses are now coming and
some churches cannot wait for the

them. The last message received was
from Poplar Grove church In Graves
county, which was asked for $4,000,
and after a sermon by the pastor
pledges were made and the amount
was more than raised. This has been
done in many other places.
The information that is coming to
the Baptists is probably one of the
greatest benefits that is being derived
from the campaign. A pastor in a
mountainous association who had been
preaching for over thirty years and
had always maintained position
against the support of the ministry,
and who did not believe in missions,
stated at the meeting of the district
association which he attended that he
had learned more in this meeting of
what God intended he should do to
send the gospel TO the other side. az

life before. A layman who had never
given to missions or much for any
object of the church. said he wanted to
give 5000 a year for the five years of
the campaign. A railroad man upon
hearing the call gave at once a fifty
dollar Victory bond and said this was
not to be counted as his part when the
drive was made. From these TO a

The truth is, and for better OF
worse it should be told, the aver.
age dance is nothing less than
downright vulgar. The positions
assumed in the ballroom should
not be assumed even by hus'

perhaps natural impulse would be
to kill him. But someone will
say, whatever the indecencies of
the dance they are perpetrated in
in public. This is on a par with
.deploring THEFT and clarifying
highway robbery. Murder is
murder, whether committed in
public or private, and indecency
is indecency, whether in a ball
room or brothel.
BY common consent, the sexual
sin is the besetting sin of our
day. 1t will also be admitted by
everyone acquainted with the
facts that the modern dance is
naturally calculated to develop
the lower passions and LbaS IN.

be denied that fully three-fourths
Of the number of fallen women
attribute their run to the deviliSh

cause mothers to entreat their
daughters not to dance? The
Idea of a Christian school tolerat-
ing dancing is too preposterous
to receive serious attention, yet
sad to say, this has too often been
a fact in the past. indefinitely

blotted out of existence than tn a,

Only recently. the Baptist pas,
tors conference of one of our
Southern cities, in which is To-
Gated one of our leading denomi-
national schools, addressed an in-
quiry to the school CONCERNING its
attitude on dancing. That there
was just cause for this inquiry
there can be no doubt. Sad to
say, it is usually some women
connected with the school who is
primarily responsible FOR this
abomina BILE state of affairs. The
night of this iniquity is far spent
and the day is at hand. And this
reminds us that practically all
dancing is done in the night time.
And Why? There is nothing
tanner or deader than daylight

safer in tie dark To really en-
oy the modern dance one needs
just enough of liquor to beaded
the conscience and an artificial
light, and none too much of this.

to know where some of the young
men who dance with their daugh-
tiers spend the remainder of the
night after leaving the ballroom.
