did opinion that the anti-lottery
efforts Of someten years ago failed
completely in suppressing the evil
and that the State loses the large
amount Of revenues from lottery
sources which were paid under the
lottery regime.
There are as many tickets sold
to-day as formerly, with little or
no effort at suppression. The only
difference seems to be that the New
Orleans police force is reaping the
benefit instead Of the State.
We are opposed to violation Of
law Of every shape and form and
should it prove impossible to sup
press the sale Of lottery tickets,
we claim that dealers should be
licensed. II they are to be sold,

A NEW AGE.

"Thc different ages of the world
are .ell defined. To the geologist
they are as plain as is the nature of

are now entering new era, a new
world cycle-the oil age A
very wellknow gentleman so stated
Tuesday to Truth man, the re-
marks being especially called forth
by a discussion on the feasibility
of using oil on the river steamers
and on plantations instead Of coal.
1.-The use Of oil for fuel and geu-
eral heating purposes, said he, is
extending daily, till shortly it will
have entered and conquered every
avenue Of commerce at the least.
1t will not be long time. believe,
till in many sections Of the South
and West oil will supercede all
other classes Of fuel, and when that
times comes the commercial, mate
rial and social supremacy Of the
South over all other sections Of the
United States will be universally
conceded. 1t has only needed an
economical fuel to demonstrate
that the South is the force that
moves the pulse Of the country.
Here we raise fruits, vegetables,
meats. cloth fabrics. etc, while in
our practically unsearched hills lie
dormant vaster coal and iron de-
posts than have ever been dream
ed Of. The oil age will give that
impetus to the South that has al
ways been necessary to bring out
fully and to all people the tremen-
dousness 81 our natural resources.

Last Sunday afternoon the Iber-

crowd Of towns people was there
pleasantly in conversation with de-
parting friends. willing away the
half-hour, or more that the train
was late.
Into one Of these little coteries
this scribe dropped and, seeing
our friend, Mr.. Louis Wust, arm

anticipated travel, he was asked
which way he was journeying. He
replied. towards the west in search

had by far the majority, in its ia
vor. for we adopted It.
This little discussion brought
out the fact thai our friends, Mr..
Wust, was not lalone in this mis-,
sion; but would be accompanied
bya good strong delegation OF
the New Iberia organizations
rather, that he was in the hands Of
his friends, who promised to take

ExceptionaI Case of Hazing.

it the best hazing story they ever

IGNORES noticed that two poor country
boys began their housekeeping, in
room on the ground floor of one Of the
college halls, with a misable apology
for a bed, no carpet, no table, and only
two chairs as the sum total of their
outfit. They proposed to board them
selves, but had only a few dollars for
their food during the terms. They ex-
pected hazing and were not disap-
pointed.
zone night the trembling youths
were summoned by a sophomore, who
was not overcourteous, to go to a room
upstairs. They obeyed, pale with fear.
They were detained about an hour, but
were only quizzed by the circle of stu
dents in the room. Then they were re-
leased. Entering their own apartment,
they were dazzled by a new carpet,
tasteful bedstead fully equipped. a
study table, a bookcase partly filled
with books, a stove, pictures on the
walls, rugs, etc, while in closet were
enough provisions to last a week.

Corporal punishment in public schools
may or may not be a good thing. but
there are times when teacher feels
that to spare the rod will spoil her
temper, at least, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel. In such cases they have been
known to violate the non-whipping
rule.
Some time ago an energetic city
teacher had lost all patience, and, af-
ter using moral suasion until it had no
effect, gave the boy a good, sound
spanking. OF course he told his par
ents and his parents told the princi-
pal and the principal came down to
demonstrate with the teacher. He ex-
pounded the law and she explained
until she was getting pretty mad. Fin
ally the principal said:
Where did you strike the boy, Miss
CT"
Where the Lord Almighty made him
to be spanked" was the irate an
swer.
