N. 0. States The chief organ of
the Antis says: "The only way IN which
to defeat the lottery amendment is to
do it with ballots" That is just about
the size of the situation, and it is evident
that the Ants are beginning to feel the

The people of the State have denounced

Mr.. Thos. j. Shaffer sent an invita-
ton to the venerable Henry Z. Garland,
Of st. Landry parish, one of the most
distinguished and beloved of the great
men in the State, to address the people
at the grand gathering held at Frank
lin on the 4th. 1t may be stated here
that Mr.. Garland was staunch sup
porter of Gov. Nichols in the last
State campaign, and placed his name
in nomination before the convention.
In replying to the invitation, after
expressing regret that he is too feeble
to engage in an active campaign, he
goes on to say
My greatest concern is in relation to the
principles and to the organization of the old
Democratic party Enemies flying different
colors are all approaching it from different
points of attack. Ii stands, and has always
stood, as the only bulwark of the rights Of
the States aud the individual against the
many parties and issues which have shown
temporary existencies in the United States.
Since 1900 it is the only anchor to which we
can safely moor will add that the
revenue amendment, if adopted by our people.
will give us means to carry out our internal
policies and will receive my vote. Let no
consideration be given to catch-word clap
trap phrases or bulldozing threats.-Alexan-

The entertainment last Thursday
evening by Jefferson Davis Lodge
No. 96 X. of P was a most gratifying
success. Seldom has an Opelousas
audience been treated to as entertain
ing and amusing d performance as was
enjoyed on that occasion. Several of
the performers took off their parts to
perfection, and as tout ensemble the
play was admirably well executed
Lack of time precludes our giving as
extended notice to our talented ANA
teurs as their painstaklng efforts deserve
at this time, but it is safe to say the
public will be unanimous in requesting
a repetition of the fun provoking per-
formance Of last Thursday night.

IN THE. RIGHT LINE.

The French Democratic club In Lincoln
is doing q good work in creating the right
kind Of interest among the voters and In
keeping them posted on the issues OF the
day. No French Canadian can vote the
Republican ticket II he but studies the
work Of the two great parties in this State
for the past quarter OF . century. Had
the Republican party had its way our
French Canadian brethren would not now
enjoy the right to vote. The Democratic
party fought for the foreign born and
forced concession after concession from
its opponents who realized that their
grasp on power was fast slipping away.
1t isn't any wonder that the Frenchmen
are found with the Democrats.

REGISTER.

The Rhode Island Democrat puts 1t
plainly when 1t says: Poll taxpayers are
reminded that they must register il they
wish to vote next year. The payment Of
poll tax docs not qualify them to vote.
They must 60 personally to the City or
Town Clerks offices snd register their
names every year, II they wish TO vote
during the year next succeeding. A prop
erty taxpayer, name is carried on the lists
year by year. But the poor man who has
nc property must go TO the Clerks Office
aud sign his name every year, or be dis
fIhnchised. Registry men have 1t in their
power, by registering and combining, to
secure equal rights. But the first step in
such direction is to register. BY doing
90 at once, voters will avoid the crowd
which always besieges the registry books
during the last days OF December.

A DEAD SHOT

right at the seat of difficulty, is accom-
p1ished by the sure aud steady aim OF
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Don't
fool around with q pop-gun, nor
"Flint-lock," when this reliable "Win-
chester" Is within reach!
DIR. Sage's treatment OF Catarrh in tho
Head Is far superior to the ordinary, and
when directions are reasonably well
followed, results In a permanent cure.
Don't longer be Indifferent 10 the veri-
fed claims of this unfailing Remedy.
The worst forms of Catarrh disap-
pear with the use of DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. Its mild, soothing, cleansing
and healing properties effect a perfect
and permanent cure, no matter how bad
the case, or OF how long standing. It's
a remedy that succeeds where every
thing else has failed. Thousands of
such cases can be pointed out. That's
the reason its makers back their faith In
it with money. They offer 500 reward
for case Of Catarrh which they can
not cure.
It's a medicine that allows them to
take such risk.
Doesn't common sense lead you 10
take such q medicineP
"An advertising fake" you say.
Funny, isn't IL, how some people pre-
fer sickness to health when the remedy
IL positive and the guarantee absolute.
Wise men don't put money back OF
"fakes." And taking" doesn't pay.
