Strictly a white Eaan.

In conversation, the other day with
Capt. w. d. Gooch, one Of the Popu-
list nominees as delegate-at-large to
the Constitutional Convention, he in
formed us that he had not fully resolv-
ed to accept the proffered honor. He
stated that the platform or resolu-
lions adopted by the Monroe Conyen-
tion met his approval ave these two
paragraphs:
eve denounce the attempt to dis
franchise any class of [Whitel citizens
by de ,ious, degrading and fraudulent
restrictions Of the suffrage which a4e
intended merely to perpetuate a mo-
nopoly of the spoils of office.
eve declare that every [sUhite] man
81 years old, and of the necessary
residence, who discharges all the duties
of citizenship, including the paymenb
of a poll tax, shall have the right Of
suffrage III Louisiana; that such poll
tax should be devoted exclusively to
the public school funds and the poll
tax receipt constitute the voters regis
tration papers,
These cannot meet his endorsement
unless amended by the insertion of th6
word white las Indicated as he recog-
nizes the fact that until the negro is
etfectlally eliminated as a political fac
tor in Louisiana politics it would be
mere folly to attempt any reform. This
was no doubt thrown out as a sop to
placate the Republicans and a certain
element in New Orleans.
His friends here who differ politically
with him will be pleased to hear Capt.
Gooch express himself so clearly and
oatspoken on the all important ques-
ton of suffrage.

Fire al aeblamc's Gin.

Considerable excitement was created
Friday evening about 2 o'clock by the
alarm Of fire given by ringing of bells
and blowing of whistles. It was dis
covered to be ct Leblanc Bros. cotton
gin, the lint catching fire just as it en-
tered the condenser and in a few sec
onds had spread to the press, where a
bale was about made. Quick and
prompt action on the part of Valery
Leblanc and gin hands, assisted by a
fire extingaisher and some water soon
extinguished the fire. The fire boys
got out and raised steam in the engine
but did not have an occasion to throw
any water. 1t is supposed that there
were matches in the loose seed cotton.

One Of the most successful social af-

en- at the French Hall last Saturday
evening by Vermilion Lodge i22, K. of
P. in celebration of the 4th anniversary
of the institution of the lodge. Two
long tables extending the full length of
the hail were filled when the Knights
and their wives, ~sweethearts and in.
vited guests approached the festal
board. Theodule Theriot was the
chief who prepared the feast, and he
furnished two solid hours of gustatory
enjoyment. Everything from the gum
DO and salads to the coffee and cake
was the very best and everybody Jared
s%umptuously. Over one hundred and
thirty persons sat down to the table
and it is no small task To properly pro-

asfsgest Cattle shipment.


Monday evening, Thompson q Hill,of
Clayton, New Mexico, shipped out 8O8
head of stock which had been purchas-
ed for them by our energetic cattle
dealer Eraste Mouton. The stock
went out on a special train consisting
of 13 cars and a caboose. It is ex-
pected that it will take about 5 days to
reach their destination. Columbus
Trahan and Aubrey Nugier went along
to assist ID taking care of the animals.
This is the largest single shipment of
cattle ever made from this place and
friend Mouton feels quite proud over
the distinction he has attained in hand
ling such a big transaction.
