many people think a newspaper
shall have about page of local
news whether anything happens OF

which the local reporter delights
to weave paragraphs. Furnishing
domestic news when there is none
is very much like extracting blood
from turnip. 1t is no more than
fair that those who grumble at the
lack of local news in their paper
should stop and think whether
they could not give the editor an
item or two worth printing, and,
il so, let them hold their peace or
growl at their own remissness.

ordinances Promulgated at ST.
Helena in 1909 we find the follow
ing:
"Whereas, several idle, goSsiping
women make it their business to
70 from house TO house about the
island, invenling and spreading
false and scandalous reports of the
good people thereof, and thereby
sow disc0rd and debate among
neighbors and between men and
their wives, to the great grief and
trouble of all good and quiet peo-
pie, and to the utter extingulsh-
ing of all friendship, amlty and
good Observation-Disclosures the pun
ishment and suppression thereof,
TO the intent that all strife may be
ended, charity revived and friend
ship continued, we do order that
if any women, from henceforth,
shall be convicted of tale-telllag,
mischief making, scolding or any
other notorious vice, they shall be
punished by ducking or whipping,
or such other punishment as their
crimes or transgreSSions shall de-
serve, or the governor and council
shall think fii."

THE AsTI-LOTTERY LAW.

The war against he Louisiana
lottery commenced in earnest on
last Thursday evening, when an
immense anti lottery meeting was
held in The Grand Opera House in
New Orleans.
The meeting was addressed by
several speakers, but the principal
attraction was the speech of Rev.
B. NJ. Palmer, ID. d, who drew a
most forcibIe indictment against
the great gambling scheme.
OF the speech of Dr. Palmer, the
New Orleans Picayane editorially
says:
"An orator like DR.. Palmer,
when once he has secured control
of an audience, can move it to his
will and bend 1T to his humor.
Never was this more fully exem-
plified than it was last night at the
anli-lottery meeting. DR.. Palmer
had before him an assemblage OF
many hundreds of respectable peo-
pie, large proportion beng la
dies. When the reverend gentle
man rose to speak he was receiv-
ed with applause, but as he pro
ceeded with his treatment of the
subject under discussion there was
scarcely a murmurlng pldudit only
the closest attention on The part of
the listeners. But when the elo-
quent speaker reached his first
climax in which he classed the lot
terry with The Malta, and by sug-
gestion, rather than direction, in
voked for the lottery a fate like
that visited upon the Malta, there
was an outburst Of applause sud
den As an explosion, and tremen-
dous as a storm. Men stood up in
Their places and shouted them
selves hoarse, while delicate wo-
men waved their handkerchiefs
and responded to the storm of pas
sion.
"Twice this wonderful orator
brought his audience to this tenn
pest of applause at the suggestion
of a violent extinction of the lot.
terry. Seldom has there been a
more signal demonstration of the
power Of eloquence which showed
itself able to move the best people
TO acls of the most tremendous
import. What might be the effect
of such oratory upon mixed mul
titude far below the splendid con
: dilion Of the splendid audience O
last evening il would not be easy
r to predict, but in the light of re
| cent events an excited populact
2 might be driven 10 almost any EN-
I terprise. We do not believe Dr
Y Palmer acknowledges to himsel
7 the power and overwhelming in
e fluence of his oratory, and whe
1 he realizes ii and the difference be
g tween addressing a crowd IN the
i alre and a reverential congregf
tion in place of sacred worShi
n he will school his fiery eloquenc
. 10 meet the situation"
4 From The character of the NEE
;, ing and the auspiciouS opening
o the war against the lottery it Is
S be hoped that the integrity of til

IN MEMORIAM.

KEMP-In the town of Boyce, Rapides
parisb. at 7:3O in the evening Of April IA,
1891. Joshua KEMP. JR., a native OF Grant
parish. La, born Jan. 6. 1859, died at the
ACE Of 81 wears, 3 months and 8 days.
The kind, indulgent husband, the affec-
tionate brother, the devoted son, the tried
and trusted friend, has reached his jour
ney's end. While yet the sun was high
in Heaven, and gladness flashed from all
the brightniDg skies. the bolt OF sorrow
fell, and stilled his manly heart. leaving
us to weep alone our deathless dead.
Standing in the shadow of this great sor-
row, how are we stricken with the poverty
OF expression. the emptiness of words.
Joshua Kemp never harbored selfish
thought. He cared for the tomorrow of
others, but he seemed to forget his own.
His life was Que long sacrifice on the altar
of honor, duty and love. He possessed
in a marked degree the rare and happy
faculty Of winning all men for his friends,
and around his tear-stained bier gathered
all conditions united for once in q CON-
mon sorrow. His religion was one OF deeds
rather than creeds, and most truly might
we say of him, "Were every one for whom
he did some kind and loving service to
bring blossom to his grave, he would
sleep beneath wilderness OF flowers.
We grieve that throughout the coming
years well press the dear hand and greet
the kindly smile no more; but we've no
fear of his felicity in that land to which
he has gone in the noon-time OF LIE
For this we know, purer, gentler, more
chivalric spirit, clasplng the loved and by
them clasped, ne'er yet passed from Eartf
to taste the joys and mlngle in the melo
DIV of Heaven. All! cherished friend o
happier days, long, sad adieu to you
