Dear Hardy Why did YOU not

Saturday for Kentnckey. More
anon. Yours with regards.
SAM.
1st Reg. TER. q. S. V. Inf.
The above is from our we'll
known friend, S. D. Kearney, who
went to Silver City, N. NJ. last
winter to engage in the newspaper
business. When war first broke
out he Joined a squad Of men from
the plains, who applied for admis-
sion to Roosevelt's regiment Of
Rough Riders, but the regiment
was full before their application.
We then lost sight of Sam until
this card. He evidently refers to
a letter which we did not receive.
We could get but one card from
him last Spring, though he said in
that, that he had written several
times. Something wrong with the
mails ont that way.
Success to Sam in his patriotic
efforts. When he gets to Cuba.
where his regiment is doubtless
bound, he will find another gallant
Natchitoches boy, Lieut., Harry P.
Gamble of Hoods Immunes, now
doing garrison duty at Santiago.
Natchitoches has four other boys
in Uncle Sans army-Jos. Caspa-
ri, Cary Blanchard, Robt. Walms-
ley and j. l.. Davion-in the 1st
Regiment La. Volunteers, station
ed at jacksonville, Fla, but they
are soon to be mustered out.

Tho Signature OF Voters.

TheE requiring the signature
OF thewoters at the congressional
primary election September Is,
was suggested by Hon. H. w.
Ogden as safeguard. 1t was a
soendid suggestion, and where en-
forced legitimately, impressed eve
ry fair and honest Democrat IA
vorably. Since the primary there
has arisen in the minds Of many
good Democrats a doubt as to this
rule having been enforced through
out the district. 1t could not be
possible that any good Democrat
would ever attempt to rob any
Democrat. However, if there
have been irregularities by which
any candidate Ogden, Sntherlin
or Breazeale) hase been treated
unfairly, let it be made public.
Any Democrat who would cheat a
democrat would not hesitate to
rob his father and mother, his wife
or bis children.
There can be no greater crime
than the robbery Of a Democrat
y q Democrat. Caucasian.
While we are fully persuaded
that any Democrat who would rob
q Populist at the general election,
would rob q brother Democrat in
a primary, and likewise would rob
his mother, wife or child, under
similar circumstances, we are glad
that the shoe is now pinching
where the pincher is hurt as much
as the pinched.

BrCaZeale at yYHnnfieid.

Commenting on his speech a
that place the Comrade has the fol
lowing to say of standing candi
date Breazeale, and having served
with him in tho Constitutional con
yention Editor Bailey is pretty
good authority On the subjects he
rakes him on:
y Breazeale is Of the opinion
ne knows more, possesses more Sd.
gacity and acumen, come from q
better family, is made of superior
clay, was by divine right set aside
for & ruler, and that all should
tumble over themselves in a wild
scramble to worship at the shrine
of his swell l-headed bigotry and
plutocratic aristocracy. He is one
of the gang who. helped to "do''
the election in Natchitoches from
the Populists in 1896; he is one of
the men who said in the constitu-
tional convention that ''the under
standing clauses of Mississippi
and South Carolina paIed into utter
insignihcance in the scope Of con-
templatod fraud when compared
with the famous section s." and
then he deliberately turned round
and swallowed with apparently a
relishing gulp the section he had
so vehemently denounced as a gi-
gantic fraud he is one of the
men who said by his vote, after
they had pretended to take the ne
gro out of politics, that the white
people of this State did not have
sense enough to rule themselves,
but that a political corporation,
whose head was and is Murphy j.
Foster, did have sense enough
therefore he recorded himself in
favor of appointing the registrars
and against their selection by the
people, the white people.
This is the kind of q sycophant-
ic underling for the vilest gang of
political pirates that ever infested
this or any other country in the
light of the closing years of the
10Th century, who is soliciting the
votes of these same people to send
him to congress ; that said by his
vote last spring they did not have
the ssnse to govern themselves.
He's the man who wants to be sac
riiced upon the altar of public
good to the tune of S5000.00 a
year, and every time he has an op-
cast his ballot to narrow
she scope of the elective franchise. |

The Lost Cause"

IHf. Editor :-Readlng this week
OF the death of Miss Winnie Da-
Wis, and the editorial comment in
regard to the dark and trying
times in which she was born, re-
called to our mind "reminiscences
OF an interesting and sad charac-
tel. 1t does not seem long to us
since the dark and ominous clouds
OF the civil war, rolled athwart our
national sky, and burst in dread
reality upon our heads, yet more
than three decades have passed
since It's close. 1t startles us to
think that a majority now living
in our country, have nc recollec-
ton OF the war between the States.
1t was, we believe, the most bitter
and sanguinary war that ever oc-
Cured among highly civilized
and enlighted people.
Not only were the North and the
South arrayed against each other
in deadly hostility, but towns, vi
entities, and families were divided.
In the town Of Princeton, KY, in
1861, two companies left the same
day, one going North and the 9TH
er South. This writer wore the
gray, while his brothers wore the
blue. During our first year in the
service, we were few miles be-
low Pensacola, Florida, in Fort
McRae. This was in some re-
spects delightful place. The air
was pure and healthful by reason
of the saline breezes. The pen
siye wave produced by the ebbing
and flowing of the tide, was unique
and enjoyable. Fort Pickens oc-
cupied by the enemy was in plain
view On the opposite side of the
Bay. We could see the infantry
drilling, and their guns glittering
in the sunshine. Men of war in
helligerent attitude were all the
time in view. The forces in the
forts became engaged sometimes
in a heavy artillery duel, which
made the land and sea tremble. !
The enemy we fought most fire.
quently however, were the fleas.
They seemed to evolve spontane-
ously from the white sand. One
could not 60 amiss for them. Miles
from our fort, away out in the
pine swamps, the sand was alive
with them. We have known boys
in gray to sit up all night cursing
and fighting feas.
One of the most unpleasant and
trying features of the civil war
was suspense. Wives for their
husbands, mothers for their sons,
and sisters for their fathers, broth
ers and lovers. And sokliers in
camp and prison, often sighed and
wept, and prayed for peace and
nome. But the four dark years
have long since passed and gone.
The war clouds scattered, and the
glorious sun of peace gladdened
every part of this highly favored
country.
We were pleased to note, before
he recent war, that the great Sec
ional gap was almost closed, and
hat q conciliatory and fraternal
spirit permested' every part of our
country, and almost every heart.
ibis is as it should be. To bear
malice and hate is satanic. To love
S divine. We have always been
partial to the South, and as DIR.

Judge SutherlinS Politics.

In this parish. A light vote as
compared with the number of vo.
ters shown on the assessment rolls
was cast. AT this box everything
was conducted fairly and orderly.
We assume that the same condi.
tions prevailed at all the boxes, as
we have heard nothing to the con-
trarY. There was no excitement,
no marching men to the polls, as
in the past, but each sovereign,
conscious Of his right as Il freeman,
deposited his ballot quietly and re,
tired to give way to others. The
following is the result:
Mans6eld-Sutherlin, 96; Og-
den, 25 ; Breazeale, 8. Total 1870.
There are 2Q4 registered voters
at the Mansfield box.--Mansfeld
Journal.
The above is the strongest re-
commentator we have yet seen of
Judge Sutherlin. His neighbors
and friends were allowed to vote
as sovereigns, coolly, calmly, de-
liberately, intelligently, for their
choice absolutely. officials select
ed by such methods as that can be
depended upon to represent the
people with frmness and with
honor.
We judge from the size of the
vote polled at the Courthouse and
all over Bossier, that MIR. Ogden
used the same methods as did
Judge Sutherlin.
But how was it in Mr.. Brea-
zeale's home--Natchitochcs 2 We
were not in town on election day,
but have been told by Democrats
that it was a perfect orgy. Any
one could tell that by comparing
the number of votes cast, with the
number of registered. 1t is true
the registration books were open
on the day of the election, and it
is said that they were thoughtful
enough to take some of the float
ers up and register them after they
had voted, but there were some
who had not been in the parish
long enough to register.
The rules which were supposed
to govern the primary declared
that none but known Democrats
should vote, and we have heard
that Mr.. Breazeale was careful to
pledge Mr.. Wallace at Winfield |
in writing to enforce the rule, but
here if they tell the truth he per-
sonally solicited the vote of Popu-
lists, telling them they would not
be pledged to support the nomi-
nee, hence a number of Republi-
cans and Populists voted,
Money and whiskey must have
flowed like water. All three of
our livery stables were engaged
before hand, and no one could get
team save Breazeale strikers. |
Folks who never get to ride in
'arriage save on election day were
lauled in and voted like so many
;attlc.
Whiskey was used until one of
he saloon keepers himself, said it
vas shame. Two or three of the
I'D "bums" didn't sober up until
ate the next day. We heard one

Bowling on the Green.

The Puritans defeated the Brights We'd
nesday afternoon in a hard game. Hard
hitting was lone on both sides and bunch-
ing the hits was the only feature that won
for the Puritans. Both teams were about
evenly matched. They played fast,
snappy ball from the start. In the field
each made a half dozen errors and those
made by the Brights caused the most
damage. Kinlin, who played first for the
Puritans, played a good fast game He
got three runs and four hits In addition
to making ten chances out of eleven good
at his station. Quinn pitched a good
game for the first two innings, but
seemed to weaken for the next three, and
then his strength came back with such
force that he held the Brights off without
anything like a hit that would count.
The Puritans' game early was fast, but
a little on the line of too much individual
play and not enough team work. They
got together, however, and when Quinn
worked fast and well his team trailcd
along close to him, with the result that
the last three innings gave the Puritans
the chance to win and they did the feat
in good style. The feature Of the game
was the batting and running of Quinn
He got five good hits and tailed five
runs. Score

The representative teams of the Metro

Cricket Association were opposed TO each
other yesterday on the grounds of the
Staten Island Club. This game was
looked forward TO for a long time and at
last it was decided and decided in favor of
the League players. who were largely
chosen from tho New Jersey Athletic
Clubs teams, who have won the cham
pionship of the Metropolitan Cricket
League since 1928 and lead in the contest
this year. The League won with a margin
of 222 runs and eight wickets. This over
whelming majority IS due to the extra
ordinary bat work of J. F. Curran and
&c. P. Hurditeh, both of the New Jersey
Athletic Club. Hurditch lately made the
first century of the year by gaining 10I
uns and he went out yesterday to beat
this record, which he did; he made 142.
Curran made lis and the combination of
their work just mounts to 222, the margin
by which the Leaguers won. Curran play

players had the worst of 1t as they bowled
