FLOOD SUFFERERS.

Congressman K. F. Broussard
left for Washington this week to
ask of thu War Department aid
for the flood suffsres of St. Martin
parish.
We have been informed this
week. that fully three Thousand
acres of fine crops have been lost
OIL account of the high water.
The water keeps on rising lit
tie more every year until this year
nearly all the lands in the basins
near the woods are under water
aud the belief is that these lands
will remain under water. which is
held ON this side all the year since
the building of l-vees on the east
side of the AtcbsfaIaya. We are
satisfied that some of the people
Of the Hooded SECTIONS are III great
need of assistance rs every inch
of their land is under water and
they have lost everything they
had and many had to leave their
homes for higher sections.
Our people have lost all hopes
of protection from the present le-
wee board. Unless this board
meets with the same fate with the
other boards and are removed, aud
a new board is appointed who will
give us justice and protection, and
at once, the people of the low land
sections will not be able to make
another crop on their lands. They
must leave their homes.

Time and the Man.

Some one may suggest that If Crom-
well and Napoleon Bonaparte and Bis
marck and George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln had not appeared to
do the work they did others would
have arisen equally capable Of doing it,
though perhaps in different way. TO
this suggestion there are two answ ers.
One is that it is pure conjecture. The
other answer Is that history shows us
many occasions when the great man
was needed, and when the need Of him
was acutely felt, and yet when he did
not appear. The greatness of some
men is largely due to favoring condi-
tons. Other men, perhaps more bril-
liant, achieve less than their powers
seemed to promise because they were
not quite in key with their own age.
Perhaps they were ahead Of thames
