contended.
These locks would not cost ex-
ceeding $4,000, which ought to
be readily secured by our Con
gressman and Senators.
Navigation at all seasons of the
year would be a bonanza to oul

Cane river and Il stop was at the q
mile ferry. The old saloon is in
tact; The old billiard table, long in
nocent of baize, and the cushions
dead years ago, is still to be seen
at the a mile ferry. Old Charlie
Dapre lives at the "a mile ferry
and does the watch tinkering and
gem fixing for the country. He
has collection of gems of every
conceivable pattern, each with a
history, and clocks and watches,
pistols and swords and knives of
all description, some of which sug-
gest Laftte's pirates. His shop is
a veritable old curiosity shop.
And old Charles tells many rich
tales of the people who came and
went, and the stage drivers; of
deeds of daring done by ante bel
lum people in those old days of
long ago. 1t is a beautiful coun-
try, being the finest of alluvial
lands and above overflow. The
long blue line Of timber, rising
like a cloud in the dim distance, is
the pine woods beyond the Texas
and Pacific Railroad. These peo-
pie are, as a rule, honest, law
abiding and good citizens. They
are very emotional people, and
are devoted to each other in sick
ness. They are wary of strang-
ers coming in their midst, as the
''red-necked Mexican" has taught
them many costly lessons in horse
racing and business affairs, too.

husband IS known as Raoul jerome,

name to distinguish the many bran
ches of the family name. As a
rule these people are unit on all
questions. as well as politics and
religion. Many strange and inter-
esting tales are told by the firesides
of these people, and handed from
father to son. They are patriotic
and by one of a like race the bullet
which killed Parkenham at the
battle of New Orleans was fired.
Although thrown in contact with
other people for nearly century,
these people have preserved their

Correct 1t.

There has arisen a misunder.
standing Of the methods of apply.
ing the S65,0OO to the relief Of the
drouth sufferers by the Millsaps
| committee.
This misunderstanding is gotten
up and encouraged by papers that
know better, but which are preiu-
diced against the Millsaps commit
tee and wouldn't approve anything
that committee did.
This misunderstanding is doing
the cause of the sufferers much
harm, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing from the Franklin News, of
st. Mary Parish:
''People who were charitably in
clined, and who would have con.
tributed largely in excess Of the
amount credited to this parish, had
it not been for this traffic in mis-
fortune. Ii it is proper to sell
the corn sent there for purposes of
relief, the right certainly exists for
the sale of meal, meat, flour and
other things contributed for the
benefit of the poor, for if Mr..
Millsaps is clothed with the arbi-
trary power to sell any one article,
be certainly, under the same exist
ing conditions, can demand money
or promises for anything that pass
es through his hands.
This traffic in peoples misfor-
tunes will not do. The right to
speculate is not coupled with the
contributions sent forth. Every
thing sent to North Louisiana
should be distributed among those
who need it most, in the same
spirit in which it was given"
This paper honestly believes that
donations forwarded to the Mill
saps committee have been sold to
the sufferer, when nothing of the
kind has been done.
A large part of the S65,0OO ap-
propriated by the State was spent
for corn and meat, which was do
mated to the most extreme cases
we don't know just what proper
tion was spent this way, about
$500 worth of it came to this par
ish. The balance of the appro-
priation is being used to pay a
PART of the freight on corn pur-
chased by the Millsaps committee,
but with money raised by the suf-
ferers and by those who choose to
advance it to them at reasonable
interest not to exceed 10 per cent.
Corn can be secured in this way
by people, who are absolutely
without, but who have credit, at
30 cents per bushel, whereas it
would cost them 80 to Is cents IN
the usual way.
Nobody pretends that this is
helping the absolutely destitute,
but it is helping thousands who
would soon be destitute, and cut
ting the helpless down to the low
est possible number, and these lat
ter ones are receiving all the dona-
tons free without money and with
out price.
Not only so, but in this parish
the committees who have spent
days and even weeks in measuring
out and distributing such donations
have done SO without charge, al
though they did not share in the
donations.
Let the papers correct this erro-
neous impression which is dampen-
ing the arder Of the good people
Of South Louisiana, who have
done and are doing such noble
charity.
