LOUISIANA NEWS. PIGAYUNE'S REPORT. ;ontinuing Rains in August Will Dam age Cotton Crop. N.,w Orleans, La., July 23.--Reports fromn 'ioayune corresplondents in Lou i.siana and Mississi)ppi on weather and crop conditions in those state for the week ending July 21 indicate a phe nomnenal rainfall, entirely too much for the propagation of the cotton plant. While a few sections mieport damage from this source, gencrai indications are that if August be a dry month, the crop will ,be above the ave, age in spite of present conditions. On the other hand, should the rains continue to any extent the damage will range from 10 to 25 per cent. The crop is safe as a general rule, although the delicate forms and blossoms can not stand the strain of daily downlours much longer. Continued showers would make the plant throw of considerable forms. The week was generally unsatisfac tory in Louisiana. Cotton is'rank with weeds and gross, weather not permit ting farmers to keep up with their field work. Winn parish, Louisiana, reports some lice and rust, with a damage of 10 per cent on ten days. Morehouse parish records black heart and shed ding, with the appearance of boll worms. In Lincoln parish rust and rot ting have done slight damage In some sections, with the stalk growing out of all proportions to thd amount of fruit. St. Landry parish reports that four days of sunny weather would restore the plant to its normal condition, while the reverse would mean 25 per cent loss. lississippi fares better during the week, the rainfall in the greater por tion being in keeping with the needs of cotton. However, in the low lands shedding and damage by sharpshooters will be noted, due to the excessive moisture and humid atmnosphere. BLACKMAN DECLINES. Will Not Run for Congress Because of Frauds. Alexandria, La.: Judge W. F. Black man, who had determined to make the race for Congress against A. P.

The parishes of Rapides, Avoyelles and Vernon and ho charge whatever made against them as to ballot box stuffing.

Edol.ou ScriI ture Authority: Exodus, chap ;er 16. llEiE was not a \\, little murmuring when beautiful, re / fre-hing Ellin was left behind. On every hand was heard the spoken : 'word of regret, and the faces of the people as they folded their tents and laded them c. I - selves for the jour ney retlected only too plainly the dis- i coute.it they felt within. How delightful had been the short rest there. The cool water and the fruit of the idate palms had seemed to them the very acme of human comfort, and ..s they had rested under the shade they had talked together of the delight! of the place. After the long, fatiguing journey across the dry and parched wastes since leaving Egypt the place had been like a perfect par adse, and they had wondered what the t'tcnmised Land must be if it was I more to, be dlesired than this place of 12 deep, cool, inexhaustible wells of water, and the great grove of palm trees which not only sheltered from the scarchlin.. rays of the hot sun, but gave of their abundant fruits for the refreshing of the people. The provi sions they had brought with them from Egypt, while wholesome and abundant uo to this time, were dry and not particularly appetizing, and so the fresh fruits of the laden trees had been eagerly gathered and eaten with intense relish. All this had made the people con tent to remain, and in the joy and satisfaction of the present ease and comfort they had ceased to think of the Promised Land toward which they were jt.urneying. They had rejoiced with learts overflowing with gratitude for the leading of the Lord which had brought them thither. They were sure now the Lord had been directing their journey. They quite forgot the hard ships and trials of the way over which they had come, and wondered how it could have been that they had ever doubted him or murmured against him. For while they rested there at beautiful Elim it was easy to be joy ful :nd to trust God. But at last when one morning the Cloul lifted and the trumpets blew, and the orders were given for the breaking of the camp, the people looked out disconsolately upon the stretch of sand and rocks lying bare before them. Again the heat and the fatigue of the journey and the parch ing thirst which was poorly slaked by the tepid water from the water bottles, brought to them discomfort of body and irritation of spirit, and doubts and questionings began again to creep into their hearts. Was the Lord leading them aright, after all? Why need they plunge into such trying journey, when Elim, the place orf refrcshing, was just behind them, and where they might abidtle yet many days? Thus did the people quickly forget the goodness of the Lord, and d'oubt his wisdom as he faithfully led theml forward towards a better country and a larger life. But as though the discomfort of the journey was not enough to try them and make them murmur, when the people had settled down in camp that night after the long march, they dis covere:l that the provisions were run ning low. While at Elim they had not been conscious of the lack, but now shut :i on every side by the wilder ness of barren sands, and with none of the fresh dates to take away the dryness of their unleavened cakes, they suddenly awakened to a realiza tion that little was left of that which they had brought with them from Egypt. Just who first made the discovery and soundled the first note of alarm is not known, but in an incredibly short space of time the cry spread through out the entire camp and everybody was asking of his neighbor: "How much hast thou in thy lard er?" This led to careful s;earch, and as the people camnie to understand how very low indeied was their supply of provi sions, for in man had more than enoug: for another meal, the cry was raise-l that they would perish of hun ger there in the wilderness. Cofifu sion .atd tumult filled the camp. In the at-er ):;rn of the terror tugging at their hearts because of the calamit which th- le:l! saw staring them ii he Iface, the. 1·esie.edl their ruler?, deim:'adling of them what;l should be done. "\Would to God we had diedl by the han'l ot the I.ord in the land of EgYF:,. they cried, in their di:4re.s, w:'in,:i]g th-ir hands in the intensity of th.ir omti:on. "In Egypt we d id sit by the lashi I;ots, and did e:at br'ead t:o the full, but now ye have brolulht us tiorth into this wildernecs to kill this who!e as;embly with hunger." Tl'h:.s did they cry out against their leadie.';: until at last they were driven to seek the tace of Moses and Aaron, before whom they- laid the matter. shuw:n; how desperate was the situa tion, ,nd hrow threatening the attitude c: tue pE:opl,. "Wiy, had we not hastened to thee, e .verily beIqeve they would have stoned us in their displeasure," they cried, "for when they asked us where food was coming fromnt, we could not give them answer. And now what say est thou? Hath the ILord led us thith er to give us a prey to hunger?" Moses looked into the lace. before him, startled and troubled, and not a little alarme,t by this new crisis which had so suddelnly optenetd beIfore him. What answer could he mni'? What step could he take to allay this tu mult? He kr.ew not where food could be had! He knew only that the people were eating of their last cakes, and that the cry of distress nad been raised in the camp. Yes, and he knew this one thing more, for as he rais 1I his eyes from the loark, distrustful faces before him, they tell upon the Cloud which nlov ered in. faithful attendance over them, and he became conscious of the Di vine presence :and a restful calm and confhitdnce stole in ulxpm his heart. He renml'mtered as in an instant how when face to face with the crisis at the Red sea the Lord had delivered. He re membered the waters at Marah, sweet ened tunder the touch of the branches loined out to him by God. He re called the wells of water and the palm trees at Elim to which the Lord had so graciously led them, even while the people were declaring that the wil ;derncs;s was a dreadful place and there was no place where they could find rest. And as these recollections crowded in upon his heart, he took new cour age. God had helped in times past, he would not fail him now. With the confidence born of faith, therefore, he looked again into the faces of the men before him and said, with quiet cheerfulness: "Command that the people gather to gether betoret the Lord, for he has a message for his people. Think not that he has forgotten thee, or that he will let thee perish here in the wil derness. Hlast thou forgotten the de liverance at Pihahiroth? or the mir acle at Marah? or the place to which he led thee at Elim? Go, then, and call the people togethe-!" Almost shamefacedly at the search ! ing rebuke, the rulers departed, and while they were making known to the people the message of Moses, the lat ter was bowed before the Lord, telling him of this new problem and receiving from him the solution thereto. Lie a smouldering volcano, resting from its first outburst of violence, the people gathered as they were bid, but it was plain to see that blind unbe lief itad shut out from their vision all thought of possible deliverance from the calamity which threatened them. With nothing but barren waste on every hand, where was there food to be had? No, now, not even God could deliver? But Moses had summoned them. They would hear what he had to say before giving way to the pent up passions within. The sun had sunk to rest, bringing over the landscape the shadows of the even!ng hour, and while the earth light fails the Heavenly light of God's pres ence in the Cloud begins to glow and cast its cheering rays over that vast gathering. Unmoved by the sight, so hard in unubelief were their hearts, the people stood half sullenly, but withal attentive. Upon Moses' face, uplifted to the Cloud and reflecting its glory, there shone a quiet pIeace which sub dued the spirits of the people as they behell. Surely, indeed, their leader had a message from God, they thought "In the morning ye shall see the glory of the lrd, for he hath heard your murmurings, for they have not been against us, but against the Lord," Moses cried in a loud voice, and to the far outskirts of the gathered throngs his words were repeated by those placed over the various divi sions of the people. "In the morning ye shall eat bread to the full, for he has said: "Behold, I will rain bread from Heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walK in my law or no." Half doubting, half wondering, the people depart in silence, for none dared question how this thing could come to pass, while the glory of the Cloud shone round them and the cornm man:ling words of Moses sounded in their ears. "'In the morning ye shall eat bread to the full,'" the people re peated over and over again as they staggered before the promise of the Lori. How could it be? Yea, he had Isaid it should be rained from Heaven, but how better could they understand that wonderful thing. The light has only begun to redden in the east when there is a stir in the camp of the Hebrew people. There has come one running crying that it was even so as Moses had delared the lord tad said it should ie, and he held out in his hands a something which !ookedl white and round like coriander seed, for he had in ready faith ',;r.e forth in response to Moses' words. And soon the people are eager ly sc:attcred over the sulrrounding coun try g.:'thiering up this new and strange thin::,, ;nd. a:s they return laden with their t.r.w-f.otnd treasure, they whis per ,no to another: "S,;rely, the Lord hath remembered uis, oi giv'c-l us to eat of bread from !Heaven. "Ya," came the glad response, "now di:, we know that there is none other CGod like him in all the nations about. Now 'lo we know that he careth for his people, so that even in the barren placs of the earth they are fed and' are s.tisfled." The Bomb-Throwing Anarchist.
