City , O. , CONCERNING COTTON SWhile the bears are making, and will continue to make, a de sperate attempt to keep down the price of cotton, the farmer still holds the key to the situa tion and will hold it so. long as he desires to do so. That the present crop is short one sane observers who are posted will ed mit, and it only remains for the producer to feed the market judiciously to enable him to bring the speculators to terms. "There is great danger at this season of the year of the farmers becoming impatient and turning loose all of their crop within a short time. This would be disastrous to his interests, for the moment the market is flood ed with cotton prices will of ne cessity drop, and will remain down until the supply has been absorbed. The policy of the bear speculators is to bring about just such a codition of things. They have large sums of money to enable-them to make a big bluff in this direction, and they are using these means for all they are worth. The farmer who will be decei ved thereby is not wise. The organization that has been formed by the farmers for their protection is doing all in its power to oif'set the insidious machinations of the bears, and if producers all over the South will heed the advice of the Southern Cotton Association they will come out triumphant in the end. The contest now on is to determin..ewhether the men.. who produce the cotton will reap I the legitimate profits from their investmenit, or whether these profits shall go to a combination of gamblers in New York. The farmers of the South will have to determine this question for themselves, and they have the power to decide it in their own favor if they will only use that power with intelligence. If they will hold their cotton for a few shlort weeks they will have these gamblers on their knees before Christmas crying for mercy.--States. ACCIDENTAL DEATH Mrs. Henry Lemaire, Jr., the wife of a prominent farmer liv ing about two miles out of Kap lan, was found along the road Saturday night, where she had been thrown by the horse she was riding suffering from in jures which caused her almost immediate death. Early Saturday evening Mrs. Lemaire left her home on horse back to visit one of her neigh bors. Having been gone longer than expected Mr. Lemaire start ed out to look for her, and was told by the neighbor whom she intended visiting that she had been there, but had left some time before. Upon the search being renewed she was found ly ing along the road, where she had apparently been thrown by the horse she was riding. She was unconscious when found, and it was thought that she could be resorted, but the most persever ing medical attention failed to revive her and it was then de cided that she had been killed by the fall, or else ha4 died f-roni puffocation, as she was found lying face downwards in a little pool of water. The accident and its serious ending ýwavs a sad one, as Mrs. Lemaire was only abont 30 years of age and left a family of chil tlren and her husband to mourn her sudden death -.-Kaplan Times. The run on the Germania Savings Bank of New Orleans by its depositors has ceased. Con fidence is restored and deposi tors are returning. There was no just grounds for the panic. RICE GItOWING EXPERI MEN18. Government is to Conduct Them at Bay City Next Year. A. Bay City dispatch of the 22d inst. says: "The United States Depart ment of Agriculture is preparing to make some praitcal experi ments with rice here the coming season. 1)r. S. A. Knapp has sent Capt. John P. Slattery, a former rice planter in North Car olina, here to conduct the experi ments. Plother & Stoddard, pro prietors of the Buckeye Irriga tion Farm, have jlaced some of their land at the disposal of the government and will render any assistance that nmay be required. This platation lies on the west side of the Colorado river and is an ideal place for such an experi ment: It comprises 16,000 acres ofas rich and'well drained land as can be found in the coast bountrv. Mr. C. .. Chillson, the general manager for the firm, has made many valuable experi ments along the line of diversi-. fication of crops during the past three years, but this experiment promises to be of more value than any thing yet under-taken in that line in this county. Capt. Slattery will give especial attention to the harvesting of the crop, hoping thereby to dem onstrate to the farmers that a much larger percentage of fancy head rice may be secured by cut ting at the right stage and then protecti ig the rice from the de treiorating action of the sin by properly shocking. ,The experi ments will be watched very closely by thn rice farmers, as they are anxious to know whether Capt. Slattery's theories will stand the test of actual demon stratioii. TALMAGE RICE LETTER With good demand from the trade market continues firm. Receipts are coming in slowly, and as much of it is sold '-'to ar rive" stocks are light and assort ment less extended than could be desired. An increased de mand for Japan sorts has caused a hardening in tone, with quo table advance secured on desir able parcels.' Advices from the South note fair demand on the Atlantic Coast; movement restricted ac count of comparatively light supply. At New Orleans, mar ket is firm. On account of rain during the week receipts of Rough are light, and held at higher prices. In the Interior-Southwest Lou isiana and Texas-a general and continuous rain has brought har vesting to a stand-stiii. Movement of Rough to Market has been curtailed and prices are s5 cents to 50 cents per barrel (162 pounds Rough) higher. There is a lively interest and many estimates are being made, regarding the outcome of the Crop. A small per cent was seeded at the usual period, about half in May and the bal ance in June-As a result ]lg" vest is late and will be carried well into the Fall, with all the risks and perils of storms and cold weather incident to the season. Aside frrq the~e ycic situdes, the outlook for the May planting is encouraging, but for that seeded in June, it must he conceded the outoq e is extrer ely dQubtful, and may he disap pointing in the extreme. More than a month must elapse before any safe estimates can be made as to the year's supply. The Southern Pacific puts on regular trains, beginning rIidayj October 20th.

THE LEWIS ROAD Will Be Running by Christ mas Next Year "You can announce with con. fidence that the Opelousas, Gulf and Northeastern railroad will be carrying freight and passengers to and from Crowley before Christmas day next year," says Hon. Thomas H. Lewis, of Ope lousas, president of the railroad company that contemplates building a line from Crowley through Rayne to Ope lousas, and thence to Melville. Judge Lewis was in Crowley Friday with W. B. Roberts, assistant engineer of his road, and R. E. Harwood, a civil engineer asso ciated with the Oliver Railway Construction company, which is now engaged in constructing the line from Jackson, Miss., to New Orleans, know, as the Goodyear road, a branch of the Frisco system. Mr. Harwood has been exam ining the proposed route of the road for the purpose of enabling him to submit a bid for the con struction of the road on behalf of his company. In company with Judge Lewis and Mr. Roberts he has driven from Mel ville to Opeolousas, along the proposed route, and from Opelou sas to Crowley. The party return ed to Rayne by another route and will drive back to Opelousas. "It is no longer a question of money," declared Judge Lewis in discussing the project. '-We have the money absolutely as sured and the contracts for con struction will be let this month. Bids will be opened at Evans ville, Indiana, on Oct. 20, con traets will be signed as soon thereafter as possible and con struction will be begun immedi ately. If the quarantine had not preventcd this would have been done several weeks ago." The Lewis road is no't the only in prospect. Officials of the Kansas City Southern have been here recently and surveys have been made within ten days. - It is confidently expected that the first branch line in here will be followed within a few months by one or more competing lines. BEWARE New Y ork, Oct, 12.-Prof. W. D. Miller, of the University of Berlin, sent shivers 'down the backs of the : t dents at Wesle yan when announced in a lecture that the bite of a girl would often bring a more quicker and more horrible death than the bite of a serpent, says a dispatch to the Herald from Middletown, Conn. Prof. Miller, who has nade a special study of tho bacteria of the mouth, said that only a short time ago he experimented an a girl in Germaniy and found that an arrow dipped in saliva from her month would send its victim in death throes more terrible than one dipped in the venom of the most deadly snake."
