-PRoH1B1r1oN has a long list
of followers in every Ward in the |
Parish, and its case is being daily
strengthened by new advocates. In
almost every instance we cen say,
that those who favor and support
prohibition, a1e the men willing to
move in the interest of our country,
and wonld have it prosper and grow
rich, whilst those who want and ask
for theretailing Of spirituous liquors,
would have us remain in the condl-
ton we have been thrust for the
last ten years. Let us look at this
matter in the right light, for just
now it is the question above all
others, that mostly concerns US and
our Parish. Let us not dodge the
question, but come up like men
and toe the mark. The manifold
blessings and benefits to be derived
from prohibition are known to all,
whilst the curses and misgivings OF
intemperance are too long to be emu
merated. Our people should lay
aside their personal aims, and see
for the benefit Of the many. The
time is not far off when we will
be called upon to vote for or against
the licensing Of whiskey, and our
people should leave no stone I'M
turned to overthrow and put down
for all time to come, that most ter
rible of curses, strong drink.
Having, from the very start adj
vocated this measure, which, if car
ried, will surely rebound to the in
terests of our Parish, and having
sounded the Keynote which moved
our Police Jury to action, We are
proud of the position assumed by
the DEMOCRAT, and have, accord
ingIy battled for it's standpoint. I'VE
have simply done that which we be-
lived to be our duty, and therefore
do not fear the results of the future.

PROHIBITION.
Editor Democrat =


How is it that everything is SO
quiet with us? A stranger among
us would not suppose that SO i'm
portant an event as the local option
law was so soon to be submitted to
our people.
That whisky has done and is do
ing a great evil among us none will
deny, but there seems to be a le-
thargy upon the people as far as
opposing it is concerned. One
must, in order to make the differ
ence see place which has banish-
ed whiskey from its domain. / once
visited a little town in county
which prohibited the sale Of whis-
ky, and the change was like q
transformation there were no loa-
fers, no drunkards, and the mer-
chants doing a fourishing business.
Five or six of them were having
their stores enlarged and painted;
they had established a school by
forming a stock company to build
the house, which was a two-story
frame, very handsomely finished,
and there were two hundred schol-
ars in attendance; gentleman and
his wife had charge of the school at
a salary Of $500 per annum, and
at the end of the first year they de-
clared a dividend Of ten per cent. in
favor of stockholders everybody
was happy and money was plenti-
full, and this was in a county where
one-h half bale Of cotton was consid-
cred a good crop.
The above is no fanatical vision,
but an actual fact. There you
could see all sunshine and happi-
ness. What contrast to our home
where all is want and suffering
Mr.. Editor, I wonder if any man
really thinks, honestly thinks, that
whisky is necessity and does no
one any harm, as { have heard it
argued. Why look at the demon
allied lapor Of the country, unable
to produce a living upon the farm
ands that surround this town,
where one bale Of cotton is consid-
cred an average crop. There must
be some cause.
The ignorant man has been told
that prohibition means selling whis'
ky by the five gallons and not less
and therefore those able to buy that
amount will still have their whisky
while the poor man will haye to &c
without. Such is not the CASE
Prohibition means banishing il
from the land, driving it out alto
