The Louisiana Lottery.
Rnston Caligraph.

Some of the papers of this State are
discussing the matter of whether the
Louisiana State Lottery will die nat
ural death by the expiration of its
charter, OF will it have to be abolished
be an amendment to the Constitution.
There is childish simplicity in the
proposition that the Louisiana Lottery
will quietly fold its arms, close its eyes
and expire with the last day of its
chartered existence without a lively
kicking and scuff1ing for a new lease of
life before that fatal day arrives. The
lottery came to stay, and it wW stay un-
til the order is issued from Headquarters
the people } commanding it to emf
CRATE to some other cline. And who
will presume to say that this order will
ever go forth unless the matter is ever
kept before the people live issue.
The man who is opposed to the agita-
ton OF this matter, and who argues
that it will die more surely if let alone
is Il friend to the Infamous concern and
really wants its existence continued.
The truth of the matter is, the Louisi-
ana Lottery will have to be killed if it
is ever gotten rid of. 1t is certain not
to die natural death. 1t was suffic-
iently powerful to buy its way into the
Constitution of the State and will be
found able to buy new lease of life
when the time comes for it. And if
allowed to do business uninterrupted
until 1895 it will bodily own the Louisi-
ana State government. The only way
to get rid of the concern is to elect
legislature that can be depended on to
take the matter in hand and see that
the people have hearing on the sub
ject. By no means let the agitation of
the subject cease. Let it be the issue of
the next State campaign.

States, Dec. !.


Relative to the sensational dispatche.
about the Witkowski affair in West
Carroll, the States has obtained the
following interview to-day:
Newland Holmes, a resident of Chicot
county, Arkansas, a planter for the past
| twentyone years, said to d States re-
porter:
Mr.. Holmes stated that the whole
affair is a result of personal feeling be-
tween Mr.. Simon Witkowski and the
farmers in that section. Witkowski
came into West Carroll with his brother
Julius just before the war. They were
Israelite peddlers from Poland. They
would make their. headquarters at the
Davis plantation, and eventually began
to feel much at home. Mr.. Davis died
just before the close OF the war, and
Julius married Mrs. Davis, from whom
he divorced few years afterwards. A
daughter of Mrs. Davis, then about
seventeen years of age. showed some
disposition against the Witkowskis and
her mother sent her off to convent,
and returning from the convent she
married Simon, the hero of the present
case and the unfortunate representa-
tiv." The two brothers at once ab
sorbed the interest of the Davis planta-
ton and established their country store
near Caledonia.
Then they began their systematic
plans of securing confessed judgments
from parties who addressed themselves
to them for advances on crops in lieu of
chattel mortgages. not recognized in
Louisiana. BY those means they Sc
cured powerful political influence by
having those parties more or less OBJ
ligated unto them.
The scenes in West Carroll were but
the result Of Of an uprising of the neo
pie against wrongs under which they
suffered for the past twenty years.
There could be no legal remedy for
those poor people, as the Witkowskis |
could pack the juries and other branch |
es of the local Judiciary to their salts |
faction.
In regard to Major Mckay. the agent
and book keeper who was killed, it was /
stated that he was the creature of the
Witl;owskiS, having been appointed |
Justice of the peace through their in
tiuence to aid them in their plans.
Mr.. Holmes says that the dispatches
in the New Orleans papers about the
people being outlaws and desperadoes,
and about the mob lying in wait for the
- 900 alleged to be expected by Wit
hoh Skl dtt dIl pOSii anu HOliStHSS itlItt |
foul SANDER. The true facts uf the case
ire stated above.
In conclusion Mr.. Holmes gave as his
opinion that this sad tragedy has been
enacted through and by the unconttol-
able influences of people suffering
rom long time exactioDs, and through
he knowledge and feeling that there
vas no redress in store for them, be-
;auSe of Mr.. Witkowski's ability to
rack jnrieS and control the machinery
If the court.
When all the facts will come to light,
t will be found that the above state
nent is true in every particular.
The people of West Carroll, as class,
re as law-abiding and: as willing up
folders of the majesty of the law as
ny. Mr.. Holmes has lived in their .
for over twenty years and
peaks from experience.

is great difference in peanuts, said 4
corner vendcr recently. Some nuts are
large and look very fine, but they arc
tastccss. No matter how carefully they
are prepared and how nicely they arc
roasted they arc still lacking in all the cs-
sentials of good nut. They are grown on
soil that is deficient in some important re
spect.
a good roaster, like 4 good cook or
| good poet must be born with certain
qualification that cannot be acquired by
education.
Some dealers roast their nuts too much
| others roast them to, little. If they arc
roasted too much tho oil i, destroyed. and
Il nut has good deal Of oil in it, If they
arc not roasted enough or if they arc
roasted over \ slow fire the oil is net
properly brought out and they arc not
good; i'll fact, they have a disagrooahlc
| taste.
Some dealers steam them, but that pro
cess spoils the good flavor of nut Most
Of the nuts now sold come i:om Virginia
The Eastern Shore nuts are the best.
Patrons of the peanut often complain that
| they find the kernels Of the nut soft aud
flexible instead Of being brittle that is
because they have been too long roasted.
| IF you want to get Il nut at it's best you
should cat it half an hour after it has been
roasted. They arc good ior one day aud
then they become stale. Some pcoplc like
them hot, but they are bad for the teeth,
besides they have no, ", acquired their
proper taste. People who arr inclined to
