Republicans lotteries.

That the Lottery is attempting to
capture the Republican party has
long been an open secret, bat now
the New Orleans Republican, the
leading paper of the party in this
State makes the charge publicly in
the subjoined article =
For some time past every effort
has been put forth by the "combin-
atom embracing ia its membership
the lottery senator's, Demas, Cage
Guichard and Sims, with Wimberly.
Kellogg and their sugar weighers
and samplers to get control of the
State Committee. Dismissals, ap-
pointments and promises have been
dealt in with the utmost snag froid
and without the least effort at con-
cealment as to the purposes desired.
1t has become common talk that
the Republican organization is to be
turned over to the lottery company
by the aforesaid lottery senator's.
Weeks ago the Republican clearly
stated the purposes and intentions
of these INSCRIPTIONS politicians. It
said then that If the contract was
carried out this paper would expose
it. We intend to keep our promise.
We do not pretend to say that the
LOB will not be contaminated, but
those implicated in it may rest
assured that the party at large and
the public will know the details.
On December 18th while the re-
publican State executive committee
was in session in New Orleans to
decide upon plans for the National
and State contests, Philip Robinson,
an old poyerty-stricken negro from
Caldwell parish, stated that Demas
had given him 1920 to vote as
Herwig ct ais, desired. The disclo.
sure caused great excitement and
general confusion. In an instant
every member was ON his feet, talk
ing sides with one or the other OF
the opposing factions. Knives and
pistols were drawn, and a general
row appeared imminent. Fortunate.
ly, however, no violence was done
other than to throw several mem
bers down stairs. Kellogg, Herwig
Baldwin, Demas, Cage ct ais, were
on the lottery side, and Warmoth
and his following were on the anti.
lottery side.
Both factions have called a State
convention to meet in New Orleans
on January Is, Thus it seems the
lottery has split both parties wide
open. It now remains for the PEG.
pie to burst the lottery.

At II o'clock on Dec. 18th the

famous volunteer fire department Of
New Orleans passed out of existence,
being supplanted by a paid depart
ment. Thus goes off the stage Of
life, one of the most notable organiza.
lions of the South, but the many
deeds of heroism of its members will
long live in song and story. Only a
few weeks ago, William Swan, one
of the old heroes, an old foreman of
Hope 8, died in New Orleans. Upon
one occasion he rushed into a burn
ing building and rescued two chill
dren who were sick in bed with
small pox. One of the city papers
noticing his death says: The funeral,
which started from the late residence
of the deceased on Royal street, be.
tween Port and Enghien, was delay
ed in starting until nearly 4:30
o'clock. 1t was nearly dusk when

His many friends here have learn
ed with regret of the destruction by
fire last Sunday of the home of
Judge Conrad DeBaillon. The par.
ticnlars are given as follow in a
dispateh:-Between 2 and 8 o'clock
this evening the residence Of Judge
G. DeBaillon, situated about a mile
from Lafayette, caught fire and was
completely destroyed, with all she
furniture and household effects In
Guiding a superb piano and the
judges fine library. which he valued
at $4,000. All the personal effects
Of the Judge and his family, save the
clothes they wore, were lost in the
flames. The fire originated in the
main chimney, owing doubtless to
some defect, and spread so rapidly
that in a few moments the whole
building was wrapped in smoke and
flames. The building, which original.
ly cost $4,000, was not insured, and
consequently the loss falls entirely
upon the Judge.

MAKE 1T BLAINE.

There is a wrangle for the Repub-
lican nomination for congress in
Blaine's district, and it has been sug-
gested that it would be graceful
thing for all the aspirants to withdraw
and help elect the plumed knight
to the body in which he won his
brightest laufels. Very likely he does
not care for the honor, but we would
like to see him in the house to fight
the force bill, if necessary, and make
the venomous republicans behave
themselves with some deCenCy.
For our part, we would like to see
the republicans nominate Blaine and
then see the democrats either endorse
the nomination or make none in OPP
position, thereby practically making
his election unanimous That would
be graceful and very proper thing
to do.-Danville Register.

Potato Bugs,

Much complaint comes from all parts
of the State on account OF the Colorado
potato beetle, which this year seems to
be quite destructive There is Il very
simple convenient and cheap remedy for
this pest. 1t is Paris green or London
purple. This poison is entirely safe to
apply upon potatoes, as it is insoluble
and cannot reach the tuberS in the soil
On Il large scale it is best to apply it wet
by means of aknap-Sack sprayer such as
are figured in Bulletin 81 of the n e.
Experiment Station. In a small way it
may be applied III a watering pot, or else
as Il dry powder, siitcd on the plants
or hin cloth bag.

CHAIRMAN SIMMONS.

If a Change was to be made in the
Craftsmanship Of the State Committee,
we do not know tina; better selection
could have been made than that
argecd on by the committee yesterday.
OF the retiring chairman, Mr.. Smith,
We wish to say that he managed the
last campaign with wisdom and
prudence, and that he was untirlng IN
his excrtions. These are not mere
words of compliment, but are our
sentiments.
Hon. +. NJ. Simmons, the new
chairman, enters upon the duties Of
the position with much experience,
with ripe judgment, with reputation
for conservative views, and with the
confidence Of all who know him. He
has been successful in conduting cam
paigns before this, and we may expect
that he will arrange the details Of the
canvass 50 as to secure victory both
for the State and electoral tickets.
Mr.. Simmons was born in Jones
county, but for years has resided in
New Bernc, where he has practlced
law with credit and success.
In 1886 he was elected to Congress
from the Black District, defeating
O'Hara, and made his mark in that
body. He is a fine canvasser, a pleas
ing speaker, and is entirely familiar
with public and political matters. He
is good worker, energetic, prompt
and efficient, and will make capt.
tai chairman of the committee. -
