Disimfect! Disinfect!!

That the yellow fever 10 around and
ABOUT us lC Is useless to deny or attempt
to conceal. In the city the plague RACES
and 1t nas extended to many Of the
country towns. So far, our parish has
escaped its ravages and it is the duty of
every citizen to guard against its ap-
proach by all means known as preven-
tlves. In the cities affected or likely to
be effected by the disease, disinfectants
OF all kinds are largely used upon the
streets and upon the premises of the
residence, with. we hope, the best re-
suits. In the country the same remedies
should be, applied. Carbolic acid is
being used in large quantities, which,
when properly diluted with water, seems
TO be the strongest and most powerful
dlslnfeetant known. 1t is cheap
remedy-can be found in any of the
drug stores, and should be used without
stint. Lime literally sprinkied about
the yards is also good deodorizer and
may be. had at the different stores. 1t
IL also suggested-and we consider it an
excellent one-that carbolic soap be
used In washing clothes. In fine, the
greatest precautions should be taken in
all that pertains to health, to ward of.
the approach of the disease. It NAV
not be amiss here to call the attention
of parents and guardians to the already
well established fact, that the disease
has been fearfully dangerous to children
this year aud that too mech care cannot
se exercised in their management. With
cleanliness as a watchword--di
tants freely used--proper diet and the
call of a physician when the
symtoms first appear, there is every
chance for successful treatment as the
result. ..@5ss s q 4,
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1878-08-31

The Courier in its last issue condemns
in no measured terms the action of The
st. Landry delegation to the Baton
Rouge convention in voting for E. a.
Burke for State Treasurer, holding, that
they should have supported Mr.. Mon
cure so long as he remained acandilate.
We contend that when the parish
convention elected delegates to repre-
sent st. Landry in the State convention,
it selected those that would do. that
which would be for the best interests
of the State. 1t is true the convention
indorsed JIG. Moncure for Treasurer: :
this we regard as expressing d prefer
ence for that gentleman over the can
didates then ik41he field; it was not
then known that Major Burke. would be
a candidate. The convention failed to
Instruct the delegates on all but one
question, the calling of a constitutional
convention. When an attempt. was
made to instruct the delegates to- vote
for E. I. Lewis, Esq, for Congress, SO
much opposition was developed, that
the motion was withdrawn, not as we
believe on account of any opposition to.
Mr.. Lewis personally, but because the
convention did not wish to hamper the
delegates with instructions which it
might be either injudicious or impossi-
Ole TO carry out. If the ST.. Landry
delegation need any justification for
their conduct, (which we do not think
they dol the unprecedented satisfaction
which tho nomination Of Burke, has
given throughout tho LEM sth and breadth
of the State, ought to be sufficient.

We understand that the executive
committee of the parish made proper
arrangements for campaign fund at
its last meeting, by appointing q finance
committee and making an assessment
on candidates. We trust every Demo
crat in the parish will aid the committee
in its labors by seeing that every mem
ber of the party is registered. No one
can uote unless registered this year. Our
enemies are active aud seem to be better
