Quarantine Most Rigid.


The st. Isidore brotherhoond col
lege at Bay St. Louis has a vacation
now. The students could not get to
their homes in.New Orleans, owing to
the quarantine, so a schooner was
chartered and loaded up under the
direction of one Of the brothers, and
set out for Shell beach, just below
this city, wQere a landing was effected
to-day. But the Louisiana board Of
health got the tip, and just as the
forty-fye young men students were
loading into a Southern Louisiana
passenger car this afternoon the whole
pile was placed under arrest, the
car switched across to the Louisville
and Nashville tracks and tonight the
students in care Of the brothers, are
speeding on their way back to Bay
st. Louis, where they vii be detained.

GOOD ROADS.


This is certainly o subject that
ought to be on the mind of every
citizen of this parish. It is perfectly
useless to continue our present system
of working our roads, as beyond q
doubt, it has demonstrated its com
plete. inefieiency. Who is response
BE for the failure, we are not pre-
pared to say; but the fact remains
that our roads are little less than
sWamps. Or course, if our o~verseers
would in proper time do the work as
they should, auses for complaint
would be frivolous, and again there
may be a lack of money to keep the
roads in good order. Now taking
this last reason in mind, we would
call the attention of our police jury to
the ordinance passed by the police
jury of Vermilion parish looking to
the betterment of the public roads of
the parish.
We congratulate the police jury OF
Vermilion parish on the important
step, it shows that they are in the
march Of progress, and we hope that
our police jury viii take this matter
into serious consideration, adopt the
same ordinance and let US have good
roads.
With that end in view, they i'm
posed a specific tax on all vehicles,
including bicycles. The tax to raise
from so cents to $1.0O each. They
also imposed sl.oo per capita tax on
all male citizens of the parish between
the age Of IS and Sc years, the IN
come derived from this to be placed
to the road and bridge fund.-Lafay-
cite Advertiser.

Which Is the Truth?

The Republicans Of the parish have
virtually abandoned their parish or
ganization, a such, and have joined
forces with the Caffery faction OF
Democracy. 1t IS q mixture Of oil
and water, and we believe the Caffery
faction is the oil and viii come out on
top Of this organization patterson
Optic.
That's all nonsense. The Repuli-
can party in St. Mary j. over 4 yard
wide, but this time without any wool.
It can carry the parish anytime it
makes up its mind to do so. As for
a Democratic party in st. Mary, there
is none.-Morgan City Review.

IMPORTANT TO VOTERS.

-
The attention of the voters of this
parish is again called to the announce
ment made in another column of this
paper by the registrar, Simonet LIE
blanc.
Ia its desire to accord to every
white man the privilege of casting his
vote, the constitutional convention,
lately held in New Orleans, has adop-
ted what is known IS section five Of
the suffrage law. Under this section
every white man in Vermilion parish,
unless especially disqualified, can
register and become a voter, but he
must register prior to September /,
1898. if he wishes to avail himself of
the provisions of this section. Voters
who own property or can read need
not be in a hurry to register, as they
may do so after that date, but those
who can not register under the prop
erty or educational clause afe urged
to have themselves registered before
the first of next September. Should
they fail to do SO, they viii have dis
francbised themselves and will have
no one else to blame. The State does
not want to take away the suffrage
from any white citizen and it is for
the latter to say if he wishes to vote
or not. In order that there may be
no misunderstanding we viii describe
as clearly as we can, those who may
vote under section five:
!. Every male person who was on
January I, 1867 Of at any date prior
thereto, entitled to vote under the
laws Of any State Of the United States.
3. Every son or grandson Of any
such person not less than q years OF
age at the adoption Of the constitu-
ton.
3. Every foreigner n~aturalized prior
to January 1, 1898, provided he shall
have resided in this State five years
-
preceding the date at which he shall
apply for registration.
The registration Of voters under
this section viii close on the 31st Of
August, and Immediately thereafter
the registration office will make a list
of such persons, which will be kept as
a permanent record. All persons
whose names will appear on this list
will be admitted to register for al
elections in this State, without pos
sessing the educational OF property
qualification.
