THE SENTINEL'S CHOICE.

NEWTON &. BLANCHARD.
For Lieut.. Governor,
JARED Y. SANDERS.
AS WAS EXPECTED.

1t was expected that when a
certain individual announced his
candidacy for the sheriff S Office IN
the Democratic primary election
he did so for the sole purpose of
later "coming down. with a eu-
logy on the present incumbent of
that Office and boosting the candi-
dacy of that individual. The ex-
pectatlon has come true. The
present incumbentgot a lot Of puff
ing through a paper that claims to
to be Democratic and Democrats
are anxious to know how the
Times is going to explain.
The Sentinel is Democratic and
no such play can be worked
through its columns for an indie
pendent candidate. The play
was made, as matter of course
with the hope of gaining a little
Democratic support fol- MIR.
Bailey, but there will be "nothing
doing" on election day. 1t is
strange, however, that The Times
did not suggest and insist that
the play be worked only through
Mr.. BaiIey's own paper instead of
through Democratic paper.
1t was fine play, but was
handled combersomely and will
not catch any Democrats.

man there with an extensive ac-
quaintance with the public men OF
the United States. You want a
man there who believes in his
state and her government, and
can speak for it. My opponent
Gen. Jastremski, has been saying
there was something wrong In
Louisiana, and that our govern
ment is in the hands of political
tricksters,
s.That statement is not true: it
is false. Governor Heard, whose
secretary Gen. Jastremski has
been. is no political trickster. tie
has given the state an honest, up
right administration.
"These reports go abroad and
injure the state. They depreci-
ate our credit, our standing with
the world. You should have a
governor who believes in his
state. In Louisiana a greater
variety of products grow in equal
luxuriance than in any state of
the union. Here you will find the
four great staple products of the
world-cotton. sugar, rice and
corn-growing in the same fifty

The old Backbone land grant
case was taken up here for the
first time.
Before entering the court house
Judge Blanchard was told that a
local paper had attacked his con-
gressional record in this case. He
replied to the charges very sharply
and very fully, receiving marked
applause Mt his refutation.
sit has been charged, said he.
"that my action in what is known
as the Backbone land grant was
not such as was INTENDED to pre-
serve and protect the settlers on
that grant. Although a matter
now twenty-three years old, l
will relate the true history of it,
and I believe that you will agree
with me that my actions are en-
titled to commentator and con-
demnation. My mind was made
up to secure the forfeiture of that
graft. 1t had been made and
given to the old Backbone Rail-
way company by an act of con-
gress in 1871. Before / ever
went to Congress- l prepared pc
titions praying congress for the
forfeiture, and these were signed
by my constituents all over the
fourth district. They were car
ried to Congress and laid before
that body.
Il discovered that the New Or
leans Pacific Railway Company,
represented BY Col. Wheelock,
was there before Congress seeking
to secure the grant for his COM
pany. and that he had secured the
pledge of every Louisiana Con-
gresham to support him. They
had done it, with the full consent
of their constituents. l was single
handed and alone. But Congress
could not grant the request, and
so the New Orleans Pacific Com
pany had to buy the land. Con-
gress was then asked to confirm
the purchase.

rights of settlers already on the |
land. l and Col. Sam Robertson
filed protests aghinst issuing land
patents to anyone until the rights
Of settlers had been protected.
By the terms of the Blsnchard-
Robertson agreement, we secured
20 settlers on that grant the right

That was SOC per acre cheaper

Most farmers and gardeners have
much trouble with wireworms. A
writer says:
There is no doubt that sometimes
salt exercises wonderful effect ~
against white grubs and wireworms.
| have seen that myself and have
recommended the use Of salt or rath-
er kainit as q remedial measure; but.
on the other hand, am bound 10
say that there are just as many fiat
failures as there have been success
ses, and | cannot really explain why
this difference should be. Wire
worms, when "sal:ed." will ordi-
narily go farther down into the soil.
There is one thing that is worth not.
ing in this connection, and that is.
my experience has been that just as
soon as you get the soil thoroughly
pulverized and dried out wireworms
will die. They need a moist com
pact soil for their best development.
