"All Dealers

Some people are trying to
make cause celebre out of the
murder of the peddler Saloon by
the negro Hohors Joe. We give
credit to Sheriff Rees for his good
work in arresting the right NAH,
but outside of that what there Is
this case to make 1t SD prominent?
All concerned are of the lowest
class, and a murder as are tepor.
ted almost every day among that
class of people, from almost every
section of the state, is there any
thing strange iii this case? The
whole story in this case Is this:
A Syrian peddler insults a negro
women and is killed by the hus-
band, negro. The murderer is
arrested and jailed to await trial.
Some of our people preach
home industry and seek home
sympathy, but when they have
trade and business that can be
done at home at same price, they
send it out. We had an example
of it last week, when the biggest
company here had some fire In
surance to renew instead of re-
newing same with Mr.. g. A. Tho
mas who represented the same
company in which the big con-
Germ was insured, and at the same
rate, they preferred to have same
renewed by the New Iberia and
New Orleans agencies. This IL
patronizing home industries, isn't
it? The Messenger always though
a good deal of this big concern
and always thought they worked
to the best interest of the town
but it looks as if we were mista.
ken in the good intention of the
concern.
