A Farmer Speaks.
DUsoN, Dec. 2o, 1906


Editor Lafayette Gazette:
AS the old year, eighteen hundred and
ninety five, is just about to leave us forever
will write of some things past and some
| things to come. Lafayette parish has made
this year the most abundant crop we have
any record of. So much corn it is hard to
lind store room for it. People have such an
unusual crop they have been careless in
gathering it, and many fields are not ye,
gathered. Rice also is SO plentiful it is SELL
ing far below cost of production; it has sold
at SO cents per sack of 100 pounds. Hogs
are plentiful and fat. yet are in fnan
cial straight. Nothing sells but cotton an d
but little was planted. Farmers will COM
nence another crop with hopes of change
for the better.
The Louisiana State Agricultural Society
will meet us on Jan. 70, - and IS. This
important meeting should be attended by as
many OF our farmers possible, and the
citizens of the town of Lafayette are es-
Pecially invited, as it is upon them in a great
measure the success of the meeting depends.
AT that season the roads impossible, the
weather liable to be cold and rainy. We
hope the good ladies of Lafayette will take
part with US, as their presence is always

We will have delegctes from every part Of
the State and there will be many very inter-
es,ing papers read on every branch of farm
aud stock raising. President Jno. Dymond,
DR.. w. c. Stubs, Commissioner a. v. Carter
and many able agricultural friends will be

Our parish should get up fair; other par
ishes with many less advantages than La
fayette have held successful fairs this year.
We have fine stock of all kinds, fine fruits,
crops. We have plenty of rich
land to sell with no purchaser, while some of
our neighboring parishes are inviting irnmi-
grafton and selling their lands at far more
than our rich lands can be bought for.
Mr.. Editor, will not make my article too
ong, but invite all to meet with the State
society. Let us give our parish all the adj

Shreveport Progress.

Shreveport Progress.
No paper will be more loyal to the Demo
cratic ticket than The Progress. We BIZ
lievcd the silver ques,io:. State issue, and
do SO yet. We believe it should have had
recognition in the State platform, because the
majority of the Democrats think SO. But
having been ou:gensraled and permitted
false friends to hooi*sinE all along the
line, we think it un:,anly to stab = ticket
which has the unaniTaous Endorsement of a
duly elected and accredited delegation to q
duly organized Democratic convention, and
don't propose to do it. The Progress never
hit below the belt in its life, and don't in
terd to begin now. The time to make q
fight is when delegates are elected, and
when the convention assemblies. We have
done this to- the best Of ability and hav-
ing failed, majority OF Democrats think
ing differently from rs, claim the ticket
is ours as we'll as THEIRS that it is the duty
of all Democrats to support il, and being of
that party shall do our best to land it with q
handsome majority. This can do eezslst
emily. because it is WORTHY Of our confidence
and trust; the personnel are good men, men
of ability, zeal and progression and commend
to all men of the party.

Table Manners.

1t is not loo al news, and to man,
readers it is not news at all. But i
has been suggested by whole 10
of local observation-this local, en-.
titled, "Table Manners An un.
usually smart woman once said to
US, 81 can always tell from a man.:
table manners, whether 1 shall care
to know him or no." And she was
about right. There is nothing mo e
likely to betoken the gentleman, or
proclaim the boor. Many people
seem to ignore the great importance
of these table manners, as an index
of breeding, or the want Of it.
They must be ignorant about it,
else would they not be so careless.
1t is certainly more charitable to at
tribute it to ignorance than to utter
disregard and indifference.
Now the fact really is that at the
table, more than at any other time
or place, it behooves man to be 4
gentleman. Even at it's best and
when done in the most refined man.
ner, there is something more or less
of the earth earthly about eating. or
as some people call it-feeding.
When it is done in a careless and
greedy style, it is very suggestive of
a hog.
There is not much room for an
argument as to the correctness of
the foregoing propositions. They
are conceded by everybody. And
yet this city, State and nation are
full of people who have bad table
manners. We are sorry it is true,
regret to call attention to it, and |
yet feel impelled to do SO. We eat
too rapidly, and are thereby short
ening our lives. We do not eat,
but bolt our food. We look least
when we thus are injuring
our health.
Eating is fine art, but can never
De such when done ia haste, or by
. glutton.
We do not purpose arguing this
natter, nor advising, but we do
make this suggestion in obedience
O al irresistible impulse.-Shreve-

Suicide Of Mr.. Dees.

E. H. Dees, of Lake Charles
committed suicide at 7 O'Clock yes
terday morning in his room at the
Crescent Hotel by shooting himself
through the head with a SO cal,bre
Smith & Wesson. Mr.. Dees had
been stopping at the hotel since the
first of January, having come to La
fayet:e to perfect arrangements to
take charge of the Vordenbaumen
lumber yard. at about ? O'Clock
the noise of a pistol shot was heard
by the hotel people and steps were
at once taken to ascertain from
which room it emanated. Upon
opening the door of Mr.. Dees' room
a CHASTITY sight was disclosed. The
dead body of Mr.. Dees was living
ON the bed, partly leaning against
the head-board, holding in the
right hand a revolver with the fin
ger still on the trigger. Thu bullet
entered just above the right ear and
found exit, as near as could be as
certained, a little lower on the other
side of the head.
A few minutes before a servant
had brought him some coffee which
he drank, as was evidenced bv an
empty cup which was on a table
near the bed.
The people about the hotel had
noticed that the unfortunate man
was somewhat melancholy and had
very little to say. but SO sensational
an occurrence was not in the least
expected. The night before he had |
sent word that he was unwell and !
would eat no supper
Mr.. Dees was about IS years of
age. He leaves wife and a young
daughter at Lake Charles. He was
about to move TO this town with his
amily. His wife is a Miss Mayo.
daughter of Hon Thad. Mayo, of
Lake Charles.

TO comment some on that true SON of La
fayette, DR.. G. w. Scranton, who is now an
active candidate for Representative at the
next Legislature B-fore plunging too deep
~ INTO the subject, we would like to tell our
readers that ''CheroIee'' was one of the very
first to advise DIR. Scranton to keep out Of
the political arenas because we thought that
the doctors personal interests were too great
to be put aside SO as to enter politics. Scran-
ton says that he will sacrifice all, SO as to
show the people that he is with them and al
ways ready to serve. The most skeptica!. it
should seem to u, must be convinced that
Dr. Scranton is anxious of showing his con-
stltuents the appreciation and love he bears
them. Can anyone doubt his sincerityF We
have closely surveyed the field and have
come to the CONCLUSION that we are duty
bound to support Scranton for the ten fol-
lowing reasons:
I. His actions in the past speak for them
selves.
z. His record as a Democrat has never
been doubted.
3. The shouldering of his musket, when a
student in New Orleans in September, 1874,
shows plainly how his sentiments stood tor
honest and white government.
4. His defense of white supremacy during
negro rule in Lafayette, eight or ten years
ago, is proof of his loyalty to Democracy.
S. He is of the largest real estate own
ers of the parish.
s. He is as honest as he is charitable
7. He is educated and fully competent to
fulfill the requirements of that high Office.
8. He will represent his people .sSans
Peur ct sans reproche."
9. He is open expressions; frank in ma
lure; an enemy of hypocrisy.
10. He will be elected, Notwithstanding
only voters had courage enough to cast
their ballots for him at the s.Nhite Demo-
cratic Primaries'' of Saturday, Dec. ID (of |
which ''Cherokee'' was an active rartic,- |
Pant).
These are the reasons why we support
Scranton. and let every man dare say that we
are not Democrat because do not follow !
the ''tici<et in FULL and it will be our great
est pleasure to either call him liar IN person
Dr. in writing.
In conclusion, we may say that the above |
are made because it has been re-
ported that any voter who did not vote the |
ticket in full'' is not Democrat. We re- !
erve the right of erasing, and will al
Ways do SO, especially when a good man and
good Democrat is a candidate for an office.

! Our esteemed contemporary, the

with the phrase ttenervating pa

| ton that the same phrase has been

over without attracting anybody's
eye. There is nothing particularly
original in the idea nor striking in
the language. We remember once,

and dialogued the interview with
great freedom, kindly supplying
Grover with the largest and choicest
words and assigning, with the meek
ness of his craft, the short and Sim
pie ones to himself. Some time
thereafter he found one of his most
