What a Creole Pony Die.
n u \

In lhls dayE and generation the
! human kind do not give credit at all
times. where it. is, due. Often the
labor and endurance of one dumb
animal changes the history of an en-
| tire community, but the brute never
gets any credit, nor is monument
, ever raised to mark his grave. IIo
our mind this is wrong. We should
be kind to the dumb brutes that have
brought us wealth and prosperity
and their memory should not he en-
tirely forgotten, sslike an inanimate
thing used and thrown away. This
was brought forcibly to mind by the
remembrance Of a. Creole pony that
made Avoyelles parish wide awake,
prosperous community, and will
prove that it was Creole pony that
! did it.
Several years befor Hon. F. M.
Welch, the present Mayor of Alex
andria, went to Ayoyelles parish, he
bought a Creole pony, which he
named Barney" He drove that
pony all over Alexandra and vicinity
for several years, and by its assist
ance Agricultural Fairs were given,
an oil mill was built, land and lots
were sold, strangers were shown
around and Barney did the work.
Then Mr.. Welch went to Avoyelles
and decided to build a railroad
through that parish. He had no
money at that time-nothing but
Barney and a buggy and plenty Of
''cheek = The people laughed at
him. Mr.. WEIGH then commenced to
drive Barney around AyoyelIes
pBlish, and must have driven him
fully Is miles day for six months.
He was was in one end of the parish
one day and the other extremity the
other. Barney stood hardships
that half dozen northern bred hor-
ses would have died under, but final
Z Is
ly the mills railroad tax was car
ried and railroad through Ayoy-
elles was assured. With the tax to
start with, Mr.. Welch was able to
get some credit and construction was
pushed in building the railroad and
it was finally completed after hard
and earnest labor. We claim that If
the Creole pony, Barney" had died
early in the Avoyelles railroad tax
campaign, that road would never
have been built, because Mr.. Welch
did not have money 10 buy another
horse. But for the endurance .sof
''Barney" tie tax could not have
been carried, and the railroad would
not haye been built. The people of
Avoyelles owe all to Barney" and
they should hunt up his bones and
place monmunet over same dedica--
ted to that gallant, game, thorough
bred Creole pony. The first locomo-
tive on the new road was named
Barney" but that is nothing to
the glory that sold Barney the
horse, deserves. Speaking Of this
matter, the New Enterprise Of Marks

Constitutional Convention.

Mr.. Editor:-Thc question OF new
constitution seems to have the right
OF way over all other questions In the
State of Virginia, and as our friends,
MFR. Blackstone and Mr. Wescott have
declared themselves candidates for
the Constitutional Convention and
have come out in lengthy cards de-
fining their positions upon certain
leading questions, that Will be coh'
sidered by that body, l woulo re
spectfully ask as a citizen of Virginia,
how they stand upon the following
questions OF great moment to the
people OF Virginia;
I. The election OF Judges by the
people.
The election of State Auditor,
State Treasurer and State Superin-
tendent OF schools, County superin-
tendent and .chool trustees by the
people.
3. A provision requiring legal
lied primary for the nomination OF
United States Senators by the peo-
pie.
4. A provision preventing any
member OF the Legislature voting or
taking part In any matter before that
body in which he is personally inter"
ested.
5. The submission Of the new con-
stitution to the people qualified TO
vote under that constitution.
G. A prohibtory clause on trusts
and combinations
7. AS to the culling OF oysters
Should the same Gull law apply to
all the public bottoms or noiY
The last Legislature made law
which wat unfair, unjust and I'M
democ. atic. The law passed by the
last Legislature in regard to, not al
lowing seed oysters to be carried out
of the State, was one to benefit the
planter and against the longer, 10
benefit the classes and against the
masses. There should be no seed
oysters tax en- from any rock OF the
State. The Virginia planters having
no competitors, the tongmen VIII
have to catch at their own prices,
which will be trust prices another
fall. A planter of Hampton has al
ready told the oystermen that he
would get all the oysters he wanted
at 8 cents per bushel next fall-last
fall they brought 20 cents per buShei
thereby taking from the poor tong
men from 10 to II cents per bushel.
wrote TO our Senator, asking to be
advised. if planters bill would be
acted upon by General Assembly
so | could appear before COM
mittee against the bill, but those
opposed were not allowed that prive-
lege. The Gull law should be held in
tact and no oysters under the Gull
law be allowed to be sold to any per
son.
Respectfully,
| Goo w Glenn
