PLENTY OF OIL IN LOUISIANA
Splendid Prospects Over Wide
Expaase Of the State.

New Orleans Picaynne, trade
editiou:-Another important fac
ton has lately been added to the
wealth of this State--cOal OIL has
been found in Louisiana and under
such wide expanse of territory
as to make it certain that this
state in the near future will be
called upon to furnish large pro
Dol ton of the fuel needed by the
entire country for mechanical pur-
poses,
1t has been found at Welsh,
Vinton, Sulphur City and Jenn-
ings; in Calcasieu parish; at Bay
OH Bouillou, in st. Landry parish,
and at Anse-la Butte, in st. Mar
tin parish. Experienced men,
whose business it is to spy out
new fields, say that all surface
indications point to the develop
ment of an enormous oil produc-
ing territory in the parish Of
TerrebOnne. Louisiana must there
fore, soon enter upon the rroduc
ton of fuel oil in tremendous
quantities Whenever a we'll has
been perfected in this state it has
been called on at once to yield its
supply to the demands OF com
merce and manufacture. There
seems to be no prospect whatever
at this moment Of the increase in
supply going beyond the demand;
on the contrary, the constant re-
modelling of furnaces to adapt
them to the more economical and
easy use of OIL makes the demand
increase faster than the supply
itself increases. In consequence
the price of fuel oil has steadily
risen, and owners of wells are eau
tious IN making contracts for flu.
ture delivery.
And the problem of distribution
and delivery is still imperfectly
solved. as transportation facilities
increase the demand will increase,
and so will the supply itself
through the exploitation of new
territory increase; but the day
seems far away when the supply
will approach the demand. AL
signs point to a good price fol
many yeas to come, and there
fore, to the exploitation Of new
fields in Louisiana and a great in
crease in the states wealth.

Keep Well

Blood and iron have really been inseparable
since the Creation, and when in perfect har-
mony mean perfect health and strength. DR..
Harter's Iron Tonic is calculated to preserve
this harmony, supplying the blood with iron in
proper form and proportion. Iron has always
been used as q blood tonic, but 1t remained Tor
DR.. Harter to discover and perfect comoina-
ton OF iron and other tonic ingredients. a triai
of half q century has proven that DR.. Harter's
Iron Tonic is perfect blood purifier. Most OF
the ills we are '1eir to come from impure or i'm
poverished blood. The blood carries necessary
supplies to eveE part Of the body. II it fails to

image.
1t is also highly amusing, rath-
er than provoking, to notice what
epithets the press that supported
Clarke and Davis hurl at the Of
Tending heads of the papers which
supported Jones and Rector. One
paper refers to the latter class as
anarchists" another delights in
referring to them as TRAITORS
another says "bolters," another
"the trust gang" and one, who
is more deserving of pity than
censure, enthusiastically cries,
"the red-headed press" AS for
the Record, it did not know before
the primaries that it was a crime,
even in the eyes Of those editors
whose knees are slick from much
bowling, that it was a crime to
vote against Gov. Clarke or Gov.
Davis. If we had been apprised
of that fact earlier, and it had
been really true, today we would
be a criminal, with counsel, de-
handing justice tempered with
mercy. AS for the Record,
it does not feel disposed to SER
iously resent the epithets it re-
ceives as one of the gang which
supported Jones and Rector, be-
cause never yet have we departed
from that early raising which
taught US under all circumstances
to sympathize with the weak in
mind and to bear patiently with
their whims, but we would like to
offer a few of our brethren of the
press, who are at this particular
time flushed with victory; whose
lly-bands are swollen to burst
ing with the fat of politics, and
whose upper-stories are filled
pride-and pride alone-some
advice, free gratis, and in all
brotherly love and kindress: Try
not to read your neighbor out OF
the democratic party, lest We be
read. Your neighbor is as hon.
est as you, and perhaps more so,
Think not that we are the whole
cheese, neither the only pebble

the case, there are others. Think
not that We are a peach, for verify
thou mayst turn out to be a crab
apple of the runtiest description.

how hard are falls. Be sensible,
be reasonable, be charitable.

FREE GRATIS ADVICE.

| UNA ~ AZ hSt-'
There is a disposition upon the
part of a surprisingly large num-
Der of weekly papers in Arkan-
sas, which supported Clarke and
! Davis before the primaries, to
read all those who saw fit to sup
port Jones and Rector out of the
democratic party. This is Ia
mentable and pathetic in the ex-
IRENE. 1t is lamentable because
it reflects no credit upon the state
that a part of its newspapers are
edited by bull-bats, who in their
supreme egotism are ready to de-
clare to the man who did not vote
as they did: "You are not a
democrat, and you are traitor"
1t is pathetic that such a condition
should have to remain in exist
ence; everyone knows that the
last Arkansas legislature igno-
miniously refused to enlarge the
insane asylum. 1t has been sup
posed in this country, by some at
least, that the right of suffrage
was free to every man; that ne
had a right to cast his ballot as
his conscience and inclination
prompted, and that when he had
deposited his ballot and had ex-
ercised the privilege held dear by
every American citizen, no man
had the right, either moral or le-
gal, to challenge the motive
which prompted that vote, or to
make the voter the victim OF
abuse for the manner in which he
voted. Has that time passed?
The Franklin County Enterprise
classes the Jones and Rector fac
ton in the late primaries as bolt
ers. This statement is untrue,
and is worthy only of the indi-
vidual who would blindly follow
the fortunes Of any man whose
political star is in the ascendancy.
THOUSAND of the best democrats
in Arkansas voted for borh Jones
and Rector, and it is not right,
nor just, that they be classed as
boilers. 1t is neither generous
nor manly to do so. Hundreds
OF good democrats voted fer
Jones and Davis. What are they?
Half boilers? Hundreds of good
democrats voted for Clarke and
Rector. What are they? Are
they mongrel boilers? If some
of our exchanges would only
view themselves and their &C.
tons in this matter of running
the democratic party and dictat-
ing its members, they would find
that they are not amateurs when
it comes to making asses OF
themselves. Not by any means.
The editor of this paper voted
for Jones because we believed
him to be a better man and a
better democrat than Clarke, and
since Clarke is successful, we are
no bolter, and will not be termed
such without a protest. The ed
itor of this paper voted for Rector
because we believed him to be a
better man, and if not a bet
ter democrat, more sensible
democrat, than Davis, but since
Rector is defeated, we decline tc
be termed a bolter without regis
ter ing denial. Because a man
does not bend the suppliant knee
and fawn with hypocritical grace
before the successful politician, it
does not follow that he is a boiler.
Thousands of good democrats are
not built that way, and every one
of them have a reason to thank
the Lord for it.
