AT RoYvILLE.
Happenings in the Busy and
Thrifty Town Reported
for the Columns of The
Gazette.

Fourth ward voters, bu ckle on
your armors, and cast a solid vote
for Price and good times, next
Tuesday.
Price is booked for heavy
majority over Beattie in Lafayette,
and all voters interested in the we'll
fare of their families, should help to
give it to him next Tuesday.
With Beattie and his Republi-
can allies in power a serious con-
fict between the races is inevitable.
Louisiana has had an overdose of
negro rule, and unless we are in err
ror wool will fly before a mongrel
government is established in this
State.
do not forget the grand barbe-
cue at Royville tomorrow Sunday.
Come all of you to enjoy the juicy
steaks of Democratic beef.
Speeches by eloquent speakers will
convince YOU that notwithstanding
all the SANDER and lies the Repub-
lican party is using in this cam
paign that the Democratic is
the only party whose principles are
honesty, white rule and good gov
eminent. Therefore it is the only
white mans party in Louisiana and
in the South.
Negro bull-dozing is dead sew
eral years now. The ignorant black
has been tatight his inferiority. He
is aware that he figures as 'sdead
head" in Louisiana politics; he al
ready knows that he'll be again made
a target of, and by great Jehovah
why don't he keep company to his
faithful mule. Take your chances,
blacks, but do not say you have not
been warned in time
Judge Greig, of the fifth ward,

the attending physician pronounces
her out of danger.
Mrs. Hilaire David, mother of
MIR. J. II. David, died suddenly

Those faithful Democrats and
firm adherents of white supremacy,
Marcel Melancon, ]. Langlinais, Sr.
Belony Trahan, Nap Napoleon,
Eupernon Leblanc, Jules Landry
and others, were pleasant callers
the past week. Come often, gen.
tlemen. 4 hearty welcome always
awaits you.
The taxpayers of Lafayette
are not again willing to pay extra
taxes to the government in order
to meet heavy payments out of the
United States treasury to the rich
sugar planters. 1t stands to reason
that every cents for every
pound of sugar raised in the State,
is that much money taken out of
the pockets of the people. The
poor white man is the sufferer. He
is not in one iota benefited. Two
thirds of the sugar planters prefer
negro labor, knocking out of en-
P!oyment the poor white laborer.
