THE MILITARY COMPANY.

Banner-Democrat:-I believe that it
is generally known among our people
that the First Regiment of Infantry of
the La. State National Guards. pro-
pose to go into camp at Lske Charles
on the 14th of July. This Regiment is
composed of ten Companys of gallant
young men. and many of them are the
defendants Of Louisiana's greatest
statesmen and soldiers.
Among this group is East CAROLS
military company, and it is to be
hoped that it will make a reputation
second to none in the Regiment. Our
boys possess all the qualities requisite
to win laurels that the citizens of our
parish will be pleased to claim as their
own. Now. will it not be well for our
people to aid the company financially.
so that they can attend the Encamp-
ment? Other towns all over the
state propose to send their Companys
to Lake Charles in fine style, and why
should not the parish of East Carroll
fall into line and do likewise? The
friends OF the military company claim.
without egotism. that they have done
more for the town of Providence than
any other organization that ever ex-
listed, both in business point of view
and socially.
1t will be remembered by a great
many that the town has for many
years been building an Opera House,
and that 1t never succeeded in doing
so until the East Carroll Guards came
into existence. They were not only in
strumental in erecting the present
Opera House, but they actually furn-
ished it.
Perhaps it is not generally known
that the military company since its
organization, has spent among the
business men more than n thousand
dollars. and it has been instrumental
in bringing many strangers to the
town on many different occasions.
Its country members have visited the
town at least once a week. and it is
sure that not one spent less than
dollar each.
Is it not the duty of the business
men of the town, when these facts are
considered. to foster and encourage
the military company in every posi-
BILE way? 1t is simply a common
business proposition, and we feel that
the dullest business man will see the
advantage of maintaining a well or
ganized and efficient military company.
The young people of the parish we
believe, appreciate the company as
quite social feature of the entire
country.
We hope that the citizens of the en-
tire parish, and especially the business
men of the town, will give the military
company substantial aid in their pro-
posed encampment.

If this amt straight goods from

ley deserves every word of it:
Those who know anything of the
character, or it were better said, the
lack of character, of the black
,uailer, ex-copvict and all-round
crook and hoodlumn who operates
the New Orleans Item will not be
surprised at anything that appears
in his vile sheet. What he is now
heaping upon Messrs. McGratb,
Bates and Willis, of this city, is of
piece with the dirty work he has
been doing eyer since the opening
of the late campaign. No Demo
crat who is worth anything has
escaped the spatter of his mud
squint, and as rule the amount OF
mud thrown has been in exact pro-
portion to the rank and influence Of
the character assailed. Gentlemen
cannot afford to become engaged in
a controversy with such vile cattle
as the miserable blackmailer who
runs the Item. There is but one
way in which to deal with such
creatures, and that way is not laid
down in the code duello, because
that instrument only provides for
controversies between gentlemen.

Where Are Those Commissions

Banner-Democrat - II looks as
though Gov. Foster is going to do as
reported sometime ago. That is, to
hold back the commissions for the
officers-elect in our parish until the
result of Boatner's election was made
known. If he was elected the commits
sions would issue; if not he would not
issue them. In few days it will be
three months since the election and not
a commission has been sent as the law
directs.
There is something wrong some
where. These commissions may have
been issued and may be in our parish.
May have beel sent to some OF Mr..
Fosters pets. Perhaps there being
a new Secretary of the State. it may be
that he does not know that the law re-
quires him to send the commissions to
the clerks of the courts in various
parishes. Several days ago l wrote
to him about them and have heard
nothing from him. Perhaps he intends
to let the old officers hold over under
their old commissions and save them
the trouble of making new bond.
