Whe a jury in a capital cass is to
be selerted in this State the quetion
is uniformly asked: "Are you opposed t
to capital punishments' If the reply s
is is the airmative, the juor is ipe 1
~tbro diqualifled. Now while many i
me* claim to be oppsed to capital .
peuaihment to escape jury duty, it I
most be confemsed that there is ai
large and respectable number of peo- I
pie in every State who are candidly 1
and sincerely opposed to the inliction 1
0 of the death penalty.
S A large number of people allow
sentiment to control them ina this
matter, but there are some who op.
pose epital punishment beecause they
think it does not lessen crime. It is
quite certain that there sae striking I
. proofs to fortify this position, and
u from a recent article in the Baton
n, Rouge Tluft we take the following i
striking examples which go to show'
that hanging not only does not de- 4
Screase, but seems rather to increase,
k crime:
A hanging took place four years
y ago in East Feliciana prish that will 1
live inits loal history. It was the
execution of a negro who had mir
'Jdered a waman. The gibbet was
* erected in an open ll spo the
d banks of Pretty creek, within emo
mile of Cinton. When the fatal day
arrived thousads ofpeoplembledi
there, sad the small oy with squirrel- I
a like activitv thronged the pne rsap
lings and gum trees. Th solemn
scene was converted into a ceebrar
tion or picnic. ReIults Ina mw on
a the groad on ma was bot in the
leg, a male was untied and stlem,
ad while on their way home, nt a
half ile away from the mesn, two at

d upon the people at large, u on
brutal murders have take place
among th eam classm ace the than I
I, during double the time previous. The
Ssame may be said of Ibervile, where
ai t crime seems on the inrease,
Sthey have had several nue
tio t ofat late, and the eoa are
n active and vigilant in the discharge
a of their duty.
In New Orleans three years a a
noted hoodlum went to t hanging
d of a friend, and as a memento of the
- ocamonut a piecenof the rpe sand
Sput it i his pocket. On tee way

THE N14E O i4 A FABiM A.D.
The Natchitoches keece takes the
very sensible view that the negro in I
the cotton eld isn here, and is here to I
stay. He will occupy his present
position as a farm hand because there
is no racon the e of thse arth that I
can take his place.
It is absurd to may that with the
sun streaming down on our eatton
fields as it did last week, and cauaing
the thermometer to mount to some
thing like 125 degrees, the white man
can work as well as the negro. Nature
did not make the Ca*lasian to en
dure this kind of labor, and physically
e cannot stand it. But nature did
St out the negro for just that species
of labor, and planted him here in
I Southern ottrn and corn elds to do
the work that white men cannot do.
We do not mean to say that white
men cannot cultivate our hill lands.
Theretheymaydoall the work re
quired by working judiciously, but in
the lag,, hot, sultry days of summer
our alluvial plantations must have
th negro. There s o doing withouat
him.
The negro is not a burdea, if he
will simpl give up all desire to rul,
ld devote himself to the labor for
which be is tted. All of his troubles,
and in fact all the feliag of th
white against him, have arisen from
his desire to do that for which nature
did not desig him-to rule the Can.
anian, With his politial ambition
goe, thAfrican can well be tole
rated.
Wheneditorsef city dailies sit in
their eosy anetums with electri fans
tempering th atmospbos and write
of supplanting negro with white labor,
it au psvke a mile to all who
knows the cotton idds of Louiiana,
th negro labower and the white.
Sambois a permanent fixtre with ns,
not so much because we cannot get
rid of him, as ecause we do not wish
to have him go. He is the farm hand
par eellence when the hot, blister
ing sun aomes down upo.n as a it does
every summer of our hlve in the
Soath. And just think of September
cotton-picking with the negr left
outl It is just too awful to think of:
No, the negro is a necesity to the
South. We must straighten him out
on politics as we ha done to some
eatet already, ut we must not
imgine we an do without him. We
are necessary to him; he is necessary
to us, and all the Inme-pu theories
in th world will nt alter the fct.
The darky and the otton old am
built to at into each other, and we
ehould not eek to undo what nature
has provided shall be doe.
In almost every paper we see ad
