To the Honorable President and Mem

Gentlemen:
The undersigned having entered into
q contract with the Publishers of the
st. Mary Record to issue special
jamestown Exposition, micronesia
canal and immigration edition of that
paper, the plans. purposes and objects
of which are fully set forth in the ac-
comparing prospectus.
Respectfully ask of your Honorable
body an appropriation of not less than
Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars to aid
him In advertising by descriptive
articles and half tone views the many
advantages this Parish holds out to
the investor OF capital, the mechanic,
farmer and laborer. The thousands
of acres Of unreclaimed and nom
productive land, call for capital,
enterprise and labor to develop, and
make them by their increased value
swell the funds in your treasury and
assist in relieving the expense to the
present taxable property of the Parish
by reducing the tax rate.
The circulation of this edition is fix
ed at the minimum number of Thirty
Thousand copies and hope to increase
Il with proper encouragement to Forty
Thousand. BY reference to the &C.
comparing letter of Colonel Charles
Schiller Chief of the State immigration
Bureau who is now in Europe giving
his personal attention to securing
desirable immigrants for Louisiana
you will see that he binds himself to
have translated and distribpted five
thousand copies In German and Ave
thousand In Italian and attend to the
proper distribution of the same in
Germany and Northern Italy absolute
IL free of cost to this Parish.
A. planters and business men you
understand the necessity of supply in
the labor required to operate your
plantations, mills and factories: which
is being SO rapidly depleted by re.
mOval to other fields and the central
fzation Of colored help in the towns
and cities, to the great injury and in
convenience of the rural community.
1t can by means of this publication
succeed in bringing into the Parish a
number OF honest, industrious German
and Northern Italian farmers and
house servants to take the place of the
erratic. unreliable, and shiftless
African who is daily becoming more
worthless in proportion as his
political and social status is being az.
itsted by demagogues both North
and South from base personal motives
OF ambitious seekers after office; Il
shall have done some good to the
people l love and among whom it is
my privilege and good fortune to live.
respectfully ask your HOnOra nle |
body TO assist me in my laudable effort,
oy liberal appropriation to carry" on |
the work which have inaugurated |
and which ~ my prospectus status will |
be absolutely free from and above
and beyond any political bias as refers
10 Parish or State affairs but will be
.inccerely and purely PRO Bono
It is understood that no money is to
Be paid until the paper has left the
hands OF the printer ready for distri-
button and copy of which must ac-
company the bin before payment can
3e demanded.
Respectfully submitted,
w. G. T. CARVER.
