Locks en- the Msrneneaa

The large party of men and engi-
neers who have been on trip to the
gulf via Mermentau with view of
making explorations regarding the
proposed system of locks and dams
returned Friday, says the Jennings
Times. All of them are greatly
pleased with their Investigations.
They find that the task will net be as
big as was expected. One of the
party in speaking Of the trip, said !:
"We have made many investiga-
tions and took a great many measure
meuts, and find. that orr schame is
not only feasable, but highly practl-
cable. The construction of the locks
will insure the rice crop in very
large territory. For three or four
years the rice crop that has been de-
pendent on the Mermentau river for
water, has been failure. Ii this
improvement is made failure will
not be possible. It is going to cost
us quite a large sum of money, but it
will be we'll spent. It is almost cer-
tain that the cost will not exceed one
hundred thousand dollars. Ali of
men in our party were greatly sur
prised to fpd everything at the. pro-
posed site so favorable to the DAMS.
ALI are determined to get to work at
once and, not leave one straw un-
turned that adds. TO the early COM
pletion OF the locks and DAMS"
A committee composed of Profess,
sor S. A. Knapp and H.. G.. Drew,
was appointed to 60 to Washington
to push the matter there.

Remember Your Duty.

OF the year Will be gone. The passing
Of the year will disfranchise you from
voting in the next state, parish and
municipal elections unless you pay
your poll tax before the last day Of
the present month. Better call on
Sheriff j. Oscar Hebert or his assist
ant at the Court House and attend to.
this most important duty at once.
Don't disfranchise yourself by
neglecting to pay this tax, all of
which money derived therefrom goes
towards the maintenance of the pub
lie schools. Remember that if you
have not the necessary sum-which is
$1-you can procure loan from
some good friend. The law does not
prevent, nor oppose, your doing the
latter. The lasa of December is
rapidly approaching, today Is already
the goth, therefore, we would ur-
gently urge our citizens, voters and
friends to do the only right thing in
the premlses-that is pay their poll
tax ere the sun sinks beneath the
horizon in the far-off golden west on
the last day of the present month,
and thereby preserve their right to
vote in the elections of next year and
the year following.
OF course, you will want to vote
for Hon. Robert F. Broussard for
Congress in 1904-certalnly you
do! and perhaps for this same bril-
liant, distinguished and honored
young gentleman, from the beautiful
Teche country for Governor-who
knows? Then we say place yourself
in position to do so. Why, it will
impossible for you to vote for your
dearest friends, should they aspire
and be nominated for public Office,
unless you comply with the law in
regard to the payment of this tax.
Also, please bear in mind that next
year there will be an election to Sc
lect a mayor and aldermen, and in
1904 there will be elected President
and Vice President Of the United
States, Governor and State officials,
State Senators and Representatives,
a Congressman to represent US IN the
halls of Congress of the United
States, Distict Judge and District
Attorney, Police Jurors, a Sheriff,
Clerk of: Court, Assessor and. other
public officials. Just think Of. it!
Are you going to disfranchise your
self, and lose the privilege of partici-
pating in what promises to be one of
the important elections in the history
Of our great, grand and noble !
country? Take our word for it, the
1904 national campaign will: be a
bitter struggle from beginning to
end; the issues of both parties will
fought for by the great leaders of
.he respective parties from, one end of
he country to the other. It will be
n the nature of struggle for the
mastery between great giants. Every
7ote will count for ONE be it for
either party. Therefore, we again
lrge you~to call on the Sheriff or his
leputy at the Court House and pay
7our poll tax. 1t is duty that you
I'VE TO- yourself, as well as to all.
