Whisky and Hogs.

Let everybody bear in mind the fact
that whisky is one question to be set
tied by itself; and hogs is another
question to be settled by itself, and any
one voting for Prohibition of whisky
will not affect the hog question at all
only the less whisky be drunk, the less
of it will be made and the more corn
there will be for the poor hogs to eat !;
and the more money there will be for
the poor people to live on; and the less
trouble and crime there will be- and
the more peace, plenty and happiness
will gladden. the whole country
The State of Louisiana, in convention
assembled, formed committee (of
which I am chairman), and charged us
with the duty of promoting the cause of
Prohibition by selecting in each parish
in this 9th Congressional. District some
good men to form Parish Prohibition
Committee, to ave charge of Prob ybi
ton movements in the parish, a. q |
should feel recreant to the important
trust thus reposed in me, were to fail
in faithfulness in discharging this sa-
cred duty to the best of my ability. We
will soon have the said parish commit
tee organized and ready for work. AL
ready James 0. Chachere, Yves Vidrine,
Ozeme Fontenot, and other good and
true men have agreed to serve on that
committee.
It seems that petitiop for an cleo
tion ON the question Of Prohibition,
some how or other, got before the Po-
lice Jury prematurely There are sew
eral petitions of the same purport yet
circulating through the parish for more
signers, aud the committee to take
charge of the matter is not quite ready
to act yet, and Mr.. Stagg did very
proper thing to arrest action /; because
the petitions already signed and be-
ing signed by the voters of this parish
expressly say, "the form of the ordi-
nance to be voted upon, and the time
of holding said election are to be de-
termined by Parish Prohibition Com,
mittee duly authorized by the State
Prohibition Executive Committee" and
any other course of procedure would b,
irregular, disregardful of the expressed
wishes of the people, and therefore non
compliant with the petitions of the
Iqualifed electors of the parish, a ma,
iority of whom want Prohibition.
